SAVING OF ICE
SALVATION FOR
THE PEACH CROP

ATLANTA, GA, June l7-Confronted
with a choice between sacrificing
part of the soft drink business of the
state, or sacrificing the entire re-
mainder of the Georgia peach crop
not yet gathered and shipped to mar
/ ket, DR.. A. MSoule, federal food adj
ministrator for Georgia, has decided to
save the peach crop and let the soft
drink business suffer for thirty days
1t will take $4,000 tons of ice to
handle the remainder of the peach
crop. There is only $4,000 tons of ice
in storage for that purpose. To Sc
cure the balance of $4,000 tons, which
lis absolutely necessary to ice the cars
n which the peaches are shipped, there
was only one course which could be
followed-to cut down the consump
ton of ice for general purposes and
use the difference to save the peach
crop.
Georgia's total peach crop this year
is valued at $12,O00,00O About $4,000,
geo worth of peaches have been ship
Sped to market This leaves a balance
Iof $9,O00,OO0 worth, including the
famous, liberia variety, which was
confronted with absolute loss unless
provision was made for icing the cars.
1t was out of the question to in
crease the output of ice in the state,
because the shortage of amonia al
ready cut down ice production to a
minimum. Amonia is an absolute es
sential in the manufacture of ingre
dents for explosives. The War De-
partment already is letting the ice
manufacturers have a great deal more
than it was first expected would be
POSSIBLE 1t was out of the question
to get ice from other states to save
Georgias peach crop. Hence the Food
Administration was confronted with
the choice.
To let the general public consump-
ton of ice 60 on as usual, without a
reduction and the sacrifice the $9,OOO,-
600 peach crop; or to cut down the
general public consumption of ice for
thirty days and save the peach crop.
All ice manufacturers and ice dealers
will put aside 20 percent of their out
put and supply for iceing the peach
cars. The other 80 percent will be
delivered, first, to homes, hospitals and
places of business where perishable
food must be prevented from spelling.

that's all. No salts, no nausea
