agement of the different departments
were named. AS usual, the good cause
will be pushed and another successful
fair is expected to follow. The date OF
the fair this year will be October 18th
to 18th inclusive.
The fruit growers met here Saturday.
Arrangements were made for the pur-
chase of 10000 crates, which will load
about twenty cars. Several orchards
were not represented, fully enough yet
remaining unprovided for to load ten
additional cars. The prospects for full
crop of Elberta peaches is fine, though
some orchards are not producing as well
as was expected. Great care should be
exercised in the handling of the crop,
packing none but the best. The Cotton
Belt gave good service two years ago in
the movement of cars, and will no doubt
continue to do so.
Mr.. ]. D. Gleason, one of the prime
movers in fruit and truck growing is
enthusiastic in the growth and shipment
of fruit and truck. Last year he and
others grew several acres of as fine can
taloupes as one would wish to see. The
only trouble was the lack of enough to
load in car load lots. The price was
good and some made money out OF them,
although the express got the better Of
the business as rule.
Mr.. Gleason says he is this season
growing cantaloupes, cucumbers, toma-
toes, potatoes, ETC., which can be filled
in the cars and urges others to do the
same.
