The Southern Planter, in it's cur
rent Issues, advises orchsrdists not to
sell their apples at the prices now be .
Ing offered for them, aud says the
fruit is now in demand aud will be
throughout the season. The great
storm that destroyed Galveston, after
going up to the Lakes, veered and
went eastward through the apple
producing sections of New York aud
New England States, blowing tens of
thousands of barrels of apples from
the trees: These apples, saws the
Planter, are too immature to be mar
ketable. aud it looks AS if the crop in
that great producing section will be
small. 1t would be well for the or
ohsrdlsts of Clarke county, who have
fruit for sale this season, to heed the
word OF warning of the Southern
Planter.
