THE PEACH CROP OUTLOOK.

Unless all signs fail this year will
witness the largest peach crop ever
grown in North Georgia. The contin-
ued cold weather is the best evidence
of good crop. There is nothing to in
dictate the rising of sap, much less the
swelling of buds, and the cold weather
continues.
The peach trees last yeat at this time
were budding and thousands of them
were beginning to show pink. On the
l4th of February the crop was practi-
cally all killed. In other words, the
peach crop at this time last year was a
failure. February 14th, 1899. it was
killed, 1t is beginning to be said in
North Georgia that if the cold weather
holds the buds back until after the 14th
of February a good crop is sure, and
indeed it looks this way.
Mr.. Frank Summerour, who is the
second, perhaps the first, largest grower
in the South, says that the prospects
for one of the largest crops ever grown
in North Georgia are as fine as he has
ever seen.-Dalton Citizen.
That is the feeling in and about Ma
rietta, that the prospect for a big peach
crop was never better.
A good peach crop means dollars in
the pockets of the growers and we are
hoping that the season will be favorable.
