Scott on Peach Prospects.
State Entomologist w. M. Scott has
just returned from a trip through the
North Georgia fruit section. He has
covered the state pretty thoroughly aft
er several trips. Speaking of the fruit
crop. he said to-day: I'm some parts
of South Georgia the yield will be
about so. and perhaps more than 50
per cent, but that is offset by the to-
tai failures in other parts Of the state.
Fort Valley and MarshallvilIe, which
are the largest shipping points In
Georgia, will ship about 500 cars to-
|
ship 1000 cars if they had a full crop.
I'm North Georgia l find in some
places the crop is very good and at
others it is a total failure. Near Cal
houn and Adarsvlle there are sew
eral orchards which will yield a fair
crop, while near Dalton there are no
peaches at all"
