 Sprlngdale $ juSst now in the midst of a reeord-breaking peach crop, the like of which was never before known in this section For the past week Springdale peep z have been talking peaches and those who have had time to sleep have been dreaming of peaehes It sur passes anything this town has ever experienced in the fruit line unless 1t was the big apple crop of 1901 and that is saying considerable for Springdale is accustomed to do- ing big things ii the way Of fruit shipments.
 The total number of cars shipped up to Wedne sday night was 75. In addition to the car lot ship ments a goodly number go out by express CD every train and the can ming factory is consuming large quantities every day But little trouble is experienced in finding a market for the peaches, which are sold before the car starts on its Journey, and good prices are beng realized The trices Q far have ranged a. follows Six-basket crates No.l sl5o to s1 753 3bask= cts, No. 2. 90 cents to $ 00 Cars that are not sold before shipment are consigned d to the Ozark Fruit Grooves Association and disresed of by that organization.
 Conservative estimates of the number of cars that will be shippe d from here during the S ason run from 15e to f60 ears, and the amount of money that will be brought into the community from this seasons crop will not be less than 5000
 While the peach crop is one of the biggest things that ever came to town, the business is being hand led admirably by the local r. n Growers Ex hange. The fruit oi practically all the members is packed in the orchards under the dl- reetion of an expert packer and loaded directly into the cars. An inspector i. stationed at each car, and fruit improperly paaked or graded is sent to the packing shed and re-packed In some instances entire loads are rejected because of being too ffIe or not coming up 10 proper grade in other respects Al first thought 1t s ems httie hard on the grower to have an en- tire waean load of pea hes dumped ba on h5s hands, but little con side1ation vill show that thls $ best, even fer tfe man who owns the peaches. The Peach Growers Exchange is striving to establish a reputation for an honest and we'll graded pack, SO that when firm buys car of No. l peaches he will know that he is getting what he pays for.
 Some of the smaller growers are selling their peaches 10 local buy CTS. the heaviest buyers being liar ris & Claypool and Hewitt Cover. No effort is being made to pack these peaches in the orchard, but they are graded and packed al the warehouses here in town All are sold through the Peach Growers. Exchange
 Some fifteen expert peach packers from Georgia and Florida are here superintending the grading and packing. In addition to this three days school was held before the opening of the season attended by more than one hundred growers and others. who were given instrue- tions in packing by experts
 The Frisco furnishes two special trains to haul the peaches to mark ct, one leaving here at D. m. anu the other at 330 a. m. fast schedule has been arranged Tor these trains and they are given the right of way.
 It is though the shipping seas on will continue throughout the greater part of next week
