[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,

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

Speaking
Of Quality
Hexe is a letter from the manufacturero of DEAN'S PAT
ENT FLOUR that explains the whereforeness of the supe
riority of that flour over other Flours on tho market.
DEAN & KATLIFFE are the sole distributors of this brand
of Flour, and their personal guarantee as to its purity, added
to that of the miller, makes it a gilt*edged proposition. It's
simply good enongh for anybody to eat. Here is the letter :
C. W. B RANSFORD,
Proprietor
BBANSFORD MILLS and ELEVATOR,
OWENSBORO, KY., JUNE 28, 1906.
Meagre. Dean <fc Batliffe, Anderson, S. C.-Gentlemen :
In response to your very complimentary letter of recent date
regarding the quality of Dean's Patent we have been shipping
you, we desire to say that you need not have any fears that we
will allow the grade to run down is the smallest particular.
On the contrary, our bend miller is bending his very best efforts
and skill toward perieclicg this grade so that it will be uniform
ly perfect and up te > our requirements in every particular. We
understand that you haw built up a remarkable reputation on
the superior merits of this brand, and we can readily under
stand how you fco^e achieved euch a QUCCCE3 in keeping up the
quality sud building up a trade on H, for while your require
ments as to .tn? quality of wheat that enters into the Flour may
appear to eo&e millens little exacting, we note a willingness
on yourpart.to pay a reasonable premium over the ordinary
Flours oa the markst You may rest atsured that lu per
forming our part of the contract to mill the Dean's Pan?t ?br
you we will sparc np pains to conform to .your requirements re
garding* pure'wheat Flour, for we have as fine lot of wheat aa
we have ever had in the mill, and are buying only, sound grain*
Of course, this costs more money than mixtures, ano) it makes
it moro difficult ?JT un to mp^t the IQ? prie*s mads by come
mills, but wa claim to make High Grade Flour, and we guar
. antee every Back we ?end out ; therefore, we prefer to grind
wheat that we know will maintain the standard of Flour and
tbe excellent reputation of Dean's Patent, You may assure
your trade that if they want a Pure Wheat Flour, free from
adulteration of all? ?&df, they haye in Dean's Patent the very
acme of merit and the perfection of modern milling.
Very truly yours,
