SOUTH GEORGIA FRUITS.
The Peach Is Now Leading the Pear
and the Melon.

waycross, Ca. July 1S.-South Georgia
is not only the home of the watermelon,
but of the vine and the fig tree, the peach
and the pear. No section on earth pro-
duces a greater or a better variety of
products of orchard, garden and agri-
culture.
Among the many varieties of fruits
raised here are figs. plums, peaches.
grapes, pecans, pears, apples, and ponce
granates.
The most successful of these are the
pears, grapes and peaches. For many
years the pear was the principal fruit,
but now the peach is king.
From Charlton banks on the st. Mary's
to the hills along the Chattahoochee,
the peach is becoming the most impor-
tant crop in this section. 1t is about the
peach and the possibilities of South Geor-
gia as a peach country that everybody
is now talking of, and so much that is
interesting is being said that nobody
seems weary of hearing more of the
subject The Morning News correspond
ent spent the day yesterday in Houston
county, the home of the peach.
Fort Valley, the most thrifty town in
Georgia, is in the heart of the peach belt.
Twenty-Five hundred people live there,
and a more energetic people never lived.
Within a radius of ten miles of Fort
Valley are vast stretches of peach or
chards, aggregating 2,295 acres of land on
which there are 1,22l 900 peach trees. One
thousand one hundred cars of fine
peaches will be shipped from Fort Valley
this year. A crate factory is in operation
day and night to supply the demand for
shipping purposes, and the growers find it
difficult to get their orders filled fast
enough. The fruit season lasts only about
six weeks, and during that time over four
thousand people are employed. Every
young woman in Fort Valley, with one ex-
ception, is engaged every day in packing
peaches. They are paid ~ cents an hour,
and they work from in the morning until
in the evening. The young men gather
the peaches and haul and ship them. The
negroes load the ears and are kept busy
day and night. 1t is estimated that this
years crop of peaches will bring an ag-
gregate of 100000 Two canning facto-
ries. owned by Gray Bros, are in opera
ton, and $50 hands are employed
The fields everywhere are filled with
orchards. At Triton and Whereabouts the
fruit industry is not a whit behind that of
Houston county. Young orchards are seen
everywhere, and the older orchards are
laden with bright and luscious fruit.
Throughout South Georgia the people
are beginning TO realize that there Is
money in fruit growing, and large or
chards are being planted every year.
In few years all of South Georgia win
