This industry is no': yet ready for absolute centralized control cf marketing the peach cr.jp, and tins cannot come until the organization has reached the state of efficiency, wherein it will include :: competent sales agency, which has by experi ence demonstrated it- ability, and which has the confidence of the growers .

In fact, the wholg problem of financing and proper marketing depends largely on the establishment of standard - grades and packs, proper enforce ment, and co-ordination in-market ing. It simply means getting away from hap-hazard methods and adopting orderly, business-like methods, which will put this great industry on a sound footing. With proper co-operation on the part of the growers and the support of the banking and other business inter ests, this whole problem can te solved, which will bring millions of dollars into Georgia annually, and put real values back'into property in the peach belt.
