Wo quote from a letter received Iron tfr. A U. Kitchen, which cannot hel; •nt be of interest to all fruit grower to the State: "U was the unanimous opinion o’ the fruit grower* attending the meet tog at Macon that some form of cr gknlxatfon of local companies Is ncc •ssary for the intelligent marketing j.\ «r our crop, and this Idea that I sug . geat has (Or its object, when wo are Fully organised over the State, the eav ■employment of a State Secretary o: the present Fruit Growers' Assocla tlon. to whom ech local company. ‘ l manager, will report every I number of cars for ship meet that day. ft win bo the duty of the State Secretary Immediately oe the receipt of these reports to Wirt back tc all the local manager* tha number of cars that will be shipped from every section of Georgia that day and to give to the local managers di rection* far shipping cr diverting sc that we will avoid glutting the vari ous markets. “Our' growers here hava taken hold of this organization with enthuzlasm and at our first meeting, although many of the growers were unavald- ably detained from meeting with uz. 40 per cent, of the stock was sub scribed and the balance will be sub scribed during the coming week. Oui headquarters will be Baldwin, Gn. “The question of freight rates, re frigeration rates and railroad aervlc* •In genera] Is one that all grower* real ize, t he of the utmost Importance, add experience has taught the grow- ere at Grand Junction, Colorado and throughout California, Oregon and Washington,''that it was absolutely necessary for them to organise their business In such a way that their In- terests could ’be handled by one in dividual who could treat with the railroads from a more or less Inde pendent position. The railroad agents would much prefer, If concessions are to be made, to feel that they have only one man to make deals with and they are much more apt to make conces sions than If each Individual grower should make requests. By our com* blnlng, pressure could be brought to bear by diverting a large, or small, percentage of the business to certain road* and as In .the case of nil large combinations relief could be had. The Piedmont Fruit Company Baldwin, Ga., Intends to hire a mans, ger whose duty It will be to look ot ter the shipping of all fruit, and by In. teUIgent direction cause this fruit toga to places where it will not come In contact with a glutted market, and to place* where It will .be sure to bring the best market price. In past years many Individual fruit growers have -sustained heavy losses by not being able to place their prod- uct Id the proper market. Ry the or- ganlzstlon of a Fruit Company ft I* thought that the tonlt can be baud! to better advantage. It is hoped that fruit growers all ovef Georgia will coo- alder this matter carefully, as tha time le coming when our fruit will bare to be handled In a more systematic man ner In order to reap to* greatest ■profit.
