Peach money not so plentiful in Georgia peach trade
Columbus Ga August 2 Special West Georgia peach growers shipped 103 cars with some better early prices but overall returns fell short of expectations. Captain J J Stranahan and associates near Bullochey North of Columbus report about 350 dollars per car for initial 50 cars, with remaining cars still unsettled. Other growers like Captain HE N Ward and J L Betts plus Woodbury orchardists hold fruit in cold storage hoping for improved prices. E M Averett reports excellent early cantaloupes but poor melon yields and overall weaker returns from peach and fruit farms this season.
