Recent Unfavorable Weath
er Conditions In Georgia
Has Focused Attention
Of Northern Truck Far-j
mers On This Area
According to telegrams, Georgia
tomato plant growers who sup
ply most of the plants for can
neries in eastern states, are being
hit hard this year by continuous
rains. The newspapers have also
paid much attention to the serious
early farming conditions in Geor
i gia. Some of the canneries de
pending on Georgia have tele
graphed asking of the prospects
[ here.
I The Georgia plant lands are
clay. One 7-inch rain last week
is said to have packed these lands
so hard that it will b^ impossible
for the seed that have been plant
ed to break through. It is also
said that the continuous rains
have been planted to break
through. It is also said that the
continuous rains have prevented
all but a small part of the acre- J
!age from being pianted. State-1
I ments in the press from Georgia
j farmers the ' later part of last
'week was to the effect that it
would be two weeks after the
rains cease before the lands be
came dry enough to work. At
the time these statements were
made the rains were still con
tinuing with no prespects of re
lief.
On the river road between
Southport and Wilmington the 12
acres put in tomato seed on March
6th are now coming up fast and
looking fine. Another 12 acres is|
being seeded this week and 12,
more will be planted the first of
next week.
About 70 workers will be need
ed to, pull plants and load the
trucks for the New Jersey people.
With the planting being done
slowly these pickers will be able
to take care of each field as the
plants mature. The process is
to pull enough plants each day
to load a truck by 3 p. m. The
truck leaves 'immediately for
Shiloh, N. J., and workers in the
| fields there can take over with
'planting by 7 a. m., the n<jxt day.
j 15 hours are required for the
jtrtfck runs from Southport to
i New Jersey. Plants from Georgia
I are in transit more than twice
that long.
