THURSDAY and FRIDAY The Burning Cross Hank Daniels Virginia Patton A Daring Expose of the K.K.K.! Always A Color Cartoon Outlook For Normal Peach Crop Seen For Piedmont, Ridge Sections Since most of the growers in the state will consider that the crop is more than likely safe from cold they would like to know about the crop prospects in dif ferent sections of the state. The particuars on each section are as follows: Piedmont Section: Full bloom on Elbertas occurred in the Pied mont section on or about March 20-21. There has been no cold damage reported except in iso lated places. On most early varieties the fruit set appears to be adequate at this time, how ever, the heavy Elberta plant ings present a rather spotted pic ture. Fruit set in some orchards and some * localities of orchards is adequate for a normal crop. However, in many other orchards and in sections of some orchards the fruit set is light and in a few cases extremely light, par ticularly on trees weakened by last year’s leaf curl, drouth and improper fertilization. Ridge Section: Full bloom In the Ridge section occurred gen erally about 8 days after full bloom In the Piedmont. It ap peared at first that the leaf cover would be somewhat de layed on all varieties except Southland, Hlley, and Sunhigh. However, the favorable weather within the past two weeks has worked wonders and the trees of all varieties except Mayflower, and in some cases the Dixie Red, are developing nicely. The favor able weather in the past two weeks has caused such rapid growth that the Elberta in the Ridge are now In about the same state of development as the Pied mont, even though they bloom approximately 8 days later. Most varieties appear to have an adequ ate fruit set for a normal crop. Sandhill Section: The Sandhill section is quite similar to the Ridge section in state of develop ment and fruit set.
