IN THE FRUIT BELT.
Outlook Good for Fair Crsp of
Penches-Other Matters.

Fort Valley Ga, Jan. H.-Fort Valley
is in the very heart of the fruit growing
district of Georgia. Indeed, the birthplace
of Queen Elberta" is only a few miles
distant and not so far away are the larg-
est plum orchard and the greatest peach
farm in the world. Consequently the
peach raising industry is the most impor-
tant of the section and predictions and
prophesies concerning the probability OF
the seasons success are of vital interest
to many who have thousands Of dollars
invested in thousands of trees through
this belt. Col j. II. Hale of Glastonbury,
Conn, president Of the Georgia fruit farm
one mile from this place, Is South this
week on a tour of inspection. Last year
his prediction of a failure in the fruit crop
proved to be correct, To the Morning
News man he expressed the opinion to-
day that the outlook is at present for a
successful year to fruit men an abundant
crop and good quality. and his prognosti-
cations are of unusual weight.
The effect of last winters heavy freeze
and the exhaustion caused by the enor-
nous yield of the preceding year was
very trying on trees. Pruning judiciously
yet severely was resorted to as a remedy
and this was followed up by thorough cul-
tivation, and luxuriant growth appear
ed TO Withstand the evil effects of the
summers drought. These orchards are
now in excellent condition. The trees are
full of fruit buds, and if 10 per cent. of
those buds mature a great crop is assured.
The San Jose and the cherry scale have
appeared in sections 10 annoy the fruit
grower and threaten his trees and his
crop but vigorous measures of spraying
have largely obviated the ravages
wrought by those pests and the coculi.
The temperature to-day at Fort Valley is
in the neigh borhood of freezing point, with
still downward tendency, and this is ex-
tremely favorable to the crop.
Many of our fruit men will attend the
meeting of the State Board of Entomology,
which will meet in Macon Tuesday I'M
der the direction of the Commissioner of
Agriculture and the state entomologist to
discuss the habits and the means of de-
stroying the insect pests that are now
proving a menace. to the fruit interests
of the state.
