Quick Transportation for

Most Perfect Fruit in the World of

ProdrceTs Want to Make New Market
in ne Old World

One of the important commercial aspi-
raticns of the peach growers of the
United States is to place peaches from
the orchards OF Georgia on the markets
of Europe in less than ten days from
shipment.
For long while it has been desire
on the part of American growers to in
troduce to the people Of the Old World
one OF the most luscious products OF this
country. In order to do this and have
the fruit in it's prime. it must be possible
for the peaches to reach the markets o..
Europe within ten days.
Peaches mus; be served fresh and fine,
and ii the effort now on foot succeeds,
as it almost surely will. the trade of
this country will be greatly increased
and Europe will be eminently worth liv-
ing in. This impo. tant trade develop
n.ent is taking place under the direc-
ton OF experts and the stimulus Of
powerful hacking.
A series of experiments are being
made by the pomologists OF the United
States with the view Of placing perish
able fruits on the markets of Europe

Overlooked Inconvenience.

Most of the bathers appreciated the
free accommodations and overlooked
slight inconvenience so long as they
could get into the water and have
good time, using their best efforts to
popularize the enterprise and thus
awaken an interest which would bring
larger appropriations and increased ia
cili;Ies.

ported admonition 10 the Commissioners
TO make that old Superintendent come
down and do something. seems very
harsh and uncalled for and it, as the
complainant stated, he represents a
bunch of Washington bathers. let us
hope that the bunch is not large.
In the opinion OF some persons the
feet that a man is paid for II places
him beyond any show OF consideration.
regardless of his past record or the cir
cumstances under which he labors Let
us wish for Superintendent Stevens, his
able corps of assistants and the beach

then we can promise, among other good
things, q new spigot on the barrel

An American Fruit Now.

Some say the peach is a native of
China and others say it came with that
other boon, the horse, from Araby the
Blessed. However. it is an American
fruit now, for the people of the country
have developed it from a small hard.
ball Gffair to the fair, round. exquisite
product OF the orchard. perfect fruit,
which is loved by glutton and epicure.
by tradesman and artist America is
sending it back now, after few hun
dred years of culture, more fair than the
pomegranates OF the Holy Land. or any
ether pride OF the Singing King.
The peach is indigenous to large areas
of Europe, but grows nowhere to any
thing like the perfection attained in this
country. In Paris, during the great
fair, the sight of American peaches
drove the people almos. wild. and they
sold at 81 each. and are selling at this
rate to this day. They are put up in
fancy boxes and displayed in the finest
places only. They are shipped in very
small quantities. Tho peaches of France
are largely grown under glass covers.
The United States Government made
exhibits Of applea in large Quantities
at the Paris fair, but lid not do much
with peaches. A fine chance to pro-
mote trade was lost because it had not
entered into the minis of men that
peaches could be shipped IN bulk across
the ocean and sold at living prices.

Prof. Poweil's Work.

Prof. Harold Powell, the peach expert
of the diviiscn of ponology, has been
in the peach growing section OF Georgia
for several weeks. He had already be-
come impressed with the idea that
peaches could be shipped to England,
and went down at the beginning of the
season to make an attempt to set the
scheme going While no official reports
have been given out it is understood
that the project is practically sure Of
success II the present undertaking
succeeds a new field OF infinite possi-
biliti"s will have been opened.
Prof. Powell is at Spring Valley, Ca,
near which place are located the great
orchards of J. II. Hale & Bro. A
railroad runs through the orchards, and
several cars of select peaches have been
loaded and hurried to New York by
way of Macon, Danville and Washington.
At New York the cars were run to the
docks and the fruit. in the ordinary
crates, loaded on large and fast vessel.
The cargo is due in Liverpool early this
week and is to be distributed TO various
parts OF England and France as fast rs
possible by experienced fruit handlers.
Il is expected that the entire time OF
transit will be less than ten days. and
that the peaches will lose none OF their
sweetness. and Will not be damaged in
handling. Full reports OF the first cargo
will be made public by the department.
