[From The Augusta Chronicle, j State Entomologist Smith has re ports from ali over the State in respect to this year's peaoh crop, that have induced him to anuouoco that the yield in Georgia for 1906 will ernennt to 3,500 cars, which la in aoocss of last year's total by 1,000 Cars and al most equals the record of 1904, when 4,500 oars were estimated to have bean the shipment. And these 3,500 card, it must be remembered, will be realised in cpito of decide]ly adverse condi tions, numbers of orohards suffering from rot, while daring the spring there was repeated "scares" as to the injury wrought by the odd snaps that carno one siter another, with alarming fre quency. Indeed, in tho early spring the hor tieulturalists of the state calculated in advance upon a crop of 5,000 cars, but now, from one cause or another, thou principally, no doubt, from the rot, seventy-five per oent of the original estimate is conceded to be the proba bility. These calculations, of course, are based on average conditions, since the orohards in diff?rent parts of the state vary considerably. Assistant State Entomologist Lewis, who has been engaged lately in looking over these in Bibb county and, its vicinity, reporta, it is said, general evidence of partial damage, while about Ooraelis, on tho'contrary, an excellent crop is pro claimed tobo in sight, j Roughly speaking-at $2 per ?rate ail 400 eratoa to the ear-soaro? ?peaches may be said to be worth $800 hewe vor, necessarily, a good round sum* to bc deducted from this aaount to obtain tho not value, whleb, in r?an4 numbers, ls placed at from ?400 ??4<Mrxx* twiting the; difference, 1st, UQ call $500't$ie net value.of a car load of Eibertas. Had tho crop aa oriiiuauy hopea for, therefore, ma terialized, it would have amounted to ?2,000,000. Even DB it is, the 3,500 ears shipped this year should place something; like $li?50,000 net in the pr-oketa of the orchardiota of Georgia ai tit* returned brought them by their psaoh firop alono. And ?bja b#5? ?S mind, it is Georgia ably to which th? above figures apply. If the other Southern States were included the worth of tho' peach crop to this section Would be still more impressive to con sider. " V ' ; ' ' " ; And a few years ago, BO recently by comparison that it' seems like yester day, almost, no such assst existed in the South.
