PROSPECTS BRIGHT
 FOR PEACH CROP
Cold Snaps Thus Far Have Done Little Damage to Fruit-Orator
 for Memorial Day

Union Springs. March 1.-(Speciai) J. D. C. Turnipseed, Bullock county's vet eran fruit grower, is of the opinion that the peach crop in this section will be large this year Of course this is counting upon fairly favorable weather from now on. The freezes of the past few weeks, Turnipseed says, have done very little damage to the fruit, and he thinks that unless there is some very unfavorable weather during March, a good crop will be gathered this sum- mer.
 The buds on the trees that have al- ready budded out are in fine condition Turnipseed estimates that his own orchards will turn out any where from 50 to 50 cars, depending upon the sea son from this time on. With an aver age season he thinks that he can req sonably count on 100 cars. He is also contemplating shipping his fruit this year in bushel baskets instead of in crates as heretofore.
 Many shippers are now using the baskets for the reason that the peaches are not as badly bruised as when shipped in crates.
 The Ladies Memorial association has been fortunate enough to secure Bob Howard, the veteran orator of Colum- bus, Ga., to deliver the oration here on Memorial day. Howard speaks in his Confederate uniform and has mace quite reputa tion with his memorial address. He will also deliver the ad- dress at Clayton on the 27th.
