The market looks good. The early
peaches have averaged 90 cents per
crate, but the Elbertas will probably /
go below that figure, possibly Is cents
over. In Kansas and Nebraska, Mis-
souri, and Arkansas peaches are retail
ng at from $3.50 to SO per bushel,
which is at the rate of from so cents

The harvest will not reach its eli
