READY TO MOVE PEACH CROP
Pennsylvania Railroad Preparing to
Handle Peninsula Crop Expediately


Pennsylvania Railroad Preparing to
Handle Peninsula Crop Expediately
Within a few days the markets of
the north, which up to the present
time have been getting peaches fom
Florida and Georgia, will begin to
receive shipments from the Delaware
Maryland Peninsula. In order to
have equipment at hand sufficient to
move the crop promptly, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has made survey of
the situation and estimates the Della
ware seasons output at 1,779, O30
baskets. The peach season is at its
height in Georgia. 1t is etimated
that the total output from that State
will be l, 200, 600 bushels more than
in 1907. Approaching 1000 carloads
have already been forwarded to
market. California, too, will furn-
ish large supply. An extraordi-
narily rapid movement of the Georgia
crop is being made this year.
Peaches are moving from Fort Val
ley, the centre of the State of Georgia
producing district, to New Yok City,
in forty-eight hours. Only a few
years ago, it required a week for
Georgia peaches to get to New York,
most of the shipping then being by
boat. By reason of the development
of the refrigerator car and the quick
movement of "perishable freight"
trains, growers in any part of the
country are finding it possible to
place their product in fine condition at
the most favorable markets.
The railroads are now seeking to
secure greater distribution of the
crops. Through relations largely cul-
tivated by traffic officers of railroads,
the shippers are finding it worth
while to ship to interior points,
such as Utica, Providence, Elmira,
Albany, Williamsport, Trenton, Har-
ris5urg, ETC., instead of pouring the
whole output into New York, Phila-
delphia or Boston, with the attendant
possibility of glutting the market.
The peach crop from the Delaware
Peninsula last year amounted to only
1876 cars, by reason of adverse condi.
tiOns. 1t is expected that this year
it will require more than 8, 500 cars
to handle the output. With this idea
in mind, the Pennsylvania Railroad
is planning to send to the Peninsula
during the next six weeks a large
number of refrigerator and ventilatol
cars. These will be stored on side
tracks, and be ready for immediate
use as the peaches are brought in from
the orchard. Trains will then be
made up as rapidly as the loaded car!
accumulate, and the cars will b.
rushed to market on passenger trail
schedules. Thus, peaches picket
to-day in Delaware will be ready fo
consumption in New York tomorrow

National Drainage Association.

The National Drainage Association

and will enter upon a vigorous cam
paign looking to the drainage, by
Government aid, of the so, 600, 900
acres of swamp and overfOwed land

to facilitate the collection of the
necessary data and statistics the AS
sociation requests that all owners of
such lands, no matter how large or
small their holdings, send their
names, address, number of acres of
such land, to the Association at the

country at large, but especially to in

would be a discrimination prohibited
by existing law. 1t is pointed out
that owing to the expense and burden
involved, it would be impossible to
supply cars thus equipped to the
entire territory reached by the
Pennsylvania lines of road.
Rkewise, even if it were practical
to shelve cars for peach shipments
throughout the country, it would not
be fair to other classes of shippers,
it is argued, to withdraw from
service for this exclusive use a very
large number of cars at the very
time when they are needed by
shippers in general. This, it is
claimed, would constitute an allegal
discrimination.
