|M|NIMU|N NUMBER
Of CAR Of PEACHES
=. REDUCED BY ROADS

Good news for the peach growers
of Georgia came from the office Of
he southern freight rate commit
tee Thursday in the shape of an an
nouncement to the effect that the
ailway lines Interested in the move
ment of Georgia peaches to market
had agreed to the request of the
growers for q reduced minimum to
secure the carload rate.
Under the rule which is to be in
effect in time for this years move
ment 476 crates or less will be bill
ed at 10000 pounds and will cOnSti-
tute the minimum to secure the car
load rate. This rule will be uniform
on all lines.
In the past. the rules of different
lines have varied but the. practice
has been generally to require 535
crates, billed at 22,500 pounds, to Sc
cure the carload rate.
Growers have contended that this
ruling was unjust, since it necessi-
of crates loaded on the sixth tier
while they claimed that the inherent
n" IRE of the peach traffic has demon
lied that it is not safe to load n
refrigerator cars more than -four
solid tiers with. limited number OF
crates Oh the fifth tier at the Ids
OF the cars, near the ice bunkers.
Under the rule to be in effect this
year, requiring only 376 crates to -
cure the carload rate. it will be pos
sible to load a car with only -four
solid tiers and small number OF
crates on the fifth tier.
While there has been no reduction
in the rate on peaches, it is predict
ed that, this new ruling will result in
a substantial saving to growers il
actual freight charges and will also
mean that peaches will reach marke-
in better condition.

Is Injured by Cold,
u. S. Reports Say

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Im-
mence damage was inflicted on the
tree fruit crop and strawberries by
the cold of the past two days scat
tered reports to the agricultural de-
partment indicated today. Full ex-
tent of the damage will not be known
until rains and warmer weather be-
gin their healing work, the bureau
stated.
The damage extends over a wide
area taking in roughly the upper
half of the country, bounded on the
east by Delaware, Maryland and
New Jersey and on the west by
Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas.
THE damage depends pretty much
on how far the fruit trees were in
bloom when the cold wave struck

it was well advanced the damage
will be very heavy. However, there
is no indication of destruction of
the fruit crop. The damage, how
