ings, the peach crop is all right In
fact, it is going to be big peach year.
AS nation we fully appreciate the
peach. Our appetite for the downy
checked, pink skinned, luscious orbs is
something wonderful. During the two
months of July and August, when peach
es are at their best, we eat many thou
sand tons of them every day, and we put
mountains of them into cans for use
during the peachless months.
In six states the raising of peaches for
the home market is a prominent indus
try and gives employment to Il great
army of workers We spend more money
for this summer luxury alone than we
do in maintaining our entire army and
navy.
Maryland, Georgia, Delaware, New
Jersey, Michigan and California are our
great peach states-pretty we'll distrib-
uted geographically, you see. OF course
other states grow more or less peaches
in fact, there is hardly state in the
Union where they are not grown-but it
Is on these SIX that we depend TO supply
the country. Ten years ago or less Del
aware would have stood at the head of
the list, but the little state has had to
take back seat since the Maryland and
Georgia growers have gone into the
business so extensively. Yet Delaware
is raising more peaches this season than
for 30 years before, as the crop about to
be gathered will probably exceed Z, OOO,-
600 baskets. Florida, New York and
Connecticut also furnish good many
peaches, but their distribution is main
" within state lines. Georgia peaches
are scattered to all points of the COM
pass and are sold from Boston to ST
Louis and from New Orleans to Mime
apolis.
California sends her peaches, along
with her other marvellous fruits, TO
every part of the country, and some
even find their way to England, but
east of the Mississippi California peach
es have to take second place while the
local fruit is in season.
Perhaps Georgia should have the
first place in the ranks of the peach
growing states. The Georgia orchards
are certainly the greatest individually,
although collectively they are not so
large as are those of Delaware On the
Delaware peninsula it is estimated that
there are almost 9, 900, 900 peach trees
In full bearing. The orchards are small,
however, in comparison with those of
Georgia.
The greatest peach orchard in Georgia,
and probably the largest one in all the
world, is the Edgewood fruit farm, To-
Gated about 90 miles from Macon. 1t
consists Of 1,0S7 acres of land. OF this
tract 6S7 acres have been converted into
one great peach orchard, a square mile
in extent, and the rest is occupied by a
peach tree nursery, houses and factories.
1t is owned by a stock company, and the
founder was a young Connecticut fruit
