Georgia's Pear Crop

Tfie pear erop of Georgia this year la the largest on record. It is estimated by those who are in a position to know and to judge correctly that it will exceed 300,000 barrels. The bulk of the pears are Le Conté. A small proportion are of the Kieffer and Bartlett varieties. If 300,000 barrels were placed end to end, they would form a line 150 miles long, reaching through the whole length of the territory where the peur is cultlvated on the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway. This number of 300,000 barrels is equal to 800,000 bushels, and would weigh upward of 30,000 tons. They would load seven or eight of the largest tramp steamers coming to Savannah. The bulk of this enormous pear erop has been raised in some six or seven counties.
