Atlanta, Oct. Estate Entomologist
W. NJ. Scott, who has just returned
from North Georgia, says everybody in
that part of the state will plant peach
trees this winter. He estimates 100000
trees will be planted in North Geor-

gia, making total of 100000 trees for
the state. Mr.. Scott says many of the
nurserymen have taken orders far in
excess of their supply, hoping to get
trees from other nurserymen. This they
will be unable to do, as every nursery
man has sold out, and the result will
be large number Of suits against
those who have taken orders they can
not fill.

that so many people have bought FL

demand and the probability is within a
