Georgia Peach Quality Jumps With Spraying Effort
W B Hunter president of the Georgia Fruit Exchange says this year's peach crop will be of far higher quality than ever before.

He reports many growers prepared for the season, promising Georgia peaches to gain a new national reputation. News from Fort Valley and Marshallville areas counters rumors of crop loss from heavy rains while Northern crops are said nearly wiped out and Arkansas Texas and Alabama expect fair yields.
