Grated, only one carload having been
handled last week. The Carolina and
Hansford Orchards sold all of their
output in Americas, and at very salts
factory prices.
The crop is "all in" and while there
was an abundance for home consump-
ton, the growers really derived but
little for it this year
And the same may be said of the
crop in Georgia as a whole Shipments
out of the state now average twenty
to twenty-five daily-or rather that
was the average last wee. Probably
500 carloads, altogether, have been
handled, and after today or tomorrow
the Central Railway expects no other
shipments from the orchards.
But the cantaloupe and the Geor-
gia watermelon are still doing bust
ness at the old stand
Mr.. E. G. Parker will have shipped

total of probably twenty cars canta-
loupes from his farm here at the close
of the season-now practically al
hand. While prices in many instances
were disappointing the fine fruit
sometimes bringing scarcely freight
charges, the aggregate is fairly salts
factory.
Shipments from Americas PANIED
out better than those from Albany
where the net returns, in one instance
was a pitful eighteen cents for a
whole carload.
Americas growers are now busy with
watermelon shipments which promise
excellent returns.
The Bagley-Ray Orchard Company
has magnificent melon farm and
superintendent Verdery is now busy
loading cars with the luscious fruit
The melons are unusually large and
fine, averaging forty to fifty pounds
while many will tip the scales at the
sixty figure. The variety is an ex-
cellent one for shipping
The tenth carload shipped to date
went forward yesterday, and as many
more will be shipped ere the season
