These figures show that the Central of Georgia-the chief fruit road of the south-expects to move more peaches and more melons than 1t ever has In single year. It is conceded that un- favorable weather and late frosts did io no little damage, but this damage was more than made good by the in- crease in the number of trees and in Inc acreage devoted to watermelons and cantaloupes.
 Thus fades away another killing of peaches in the early spring. Thus do the farmers gather hope from early reports while carefully nursing their own crops. Thus, however, is the dealer kept by the reports of the Cen tral Railroad of Georgia from coining those early reports into undue and un- justified dollars, for there will be El- bertas and watermelons enough to go round.
