In a number J>f orchards, Elbertas and Hales a it weak from being hurt by Bacteriosis last season and now have a light set ol' fruit. With early fruit and Georgia Belles, the crop set seems to be about normal "At any rate the outlook for peaches this year appeal's to be more promising than last", says George Ross, Chief of the State Division of Markets. "Georgia will probably ship between 8,000 and 10,000 cars; but, the crop iii the mountain section of Georgia which competes'"with that from the North Carolina Sandhills appears to be light.

V WEAVER TO CONFER } ON PARK QUESTION Asheville Citizen - - Congre^Man Zebulon Weaver plans to confer with chamber of Commerce oiiicials of Asheville within the next day or two dative to securing active support of '.he proposal to make the Great f>moky Mountain area into a national ;xirk. Mr. Weaver is very much iti crested in securing a national ps rk for North Carolina and he thinks the State as a whole should support the plan, as'it is a matter that affects the entire State. "It is a State matter^". said Mr. Weavet, "and it should ap peal to the State pride". The chambcr of commerce recent ly enlarged its scope by taking over Western North Carolina Inc. It is through the extension division of the chamber that Mr. i Weaver hopes to secure active cooperation in <?f'lorts to have North Carolina's claims adequately presented. Many organizations in Virginia, 'states Mr. Weaver, are very active in their efforts to secure a national park for the Stonoy Man mountain area. Similar efforts should by made by this State, the North Carolina Congressman believes. " ... ENDORSES CONTEST IN DESIGNING Charlotte, April 25.?State Super intendent of Education A. T.

"The handsome prizes offered by thp Exposition will have the effect of stimulating interest among the women and girls of the Carolinas, and the lesults should be of tremendous economic as well as educational value. "The Department of Education of this State will coopearte in every way possible and through its divisions of Vocational Education wili en courage the wonien and girls of North Carolina to enter the contest. "The Exposition is to be commend ed upon its enterprise in this' matter. (Signed) A. T. Alien, Superintendent Public Instruction for North Caro lina." ? ^ HERE IN INTEREST OF FARMING Mr. James M.
