The Georgia farm bureau, exchange,
les'gned to provide organized mnrk-
t'ng of Georgia agricultural products
for organized farmers, has been c m-
pleted and already has begun market
ing certain products. Headquarters
f the exchange is located temporari
ly at 616 Chamber of Commerce build
ing, Atlanta, and P. H. Sanders, well-
known marketing man, is in charge.
The exchange was authorized at a
recent meeting of the advisory board
of the bureau, following the sugges
tion of R. A. Kelly, President, that
steps should be taken immediately
tc provide a channel for organized
marketing. President Kelly point
ed cut that Georgia farmers were
sliowly realizing the importance of
diversification of crops, and that with
a marketing exchange their products
could be easily and edvantage csly
marketed.
The exchange under the plan of op-
ration, will deal with no one com
modity exclusively. It has si Vest
nalrr departments, six of whhh are
levoted to*selling farm products, ind
'he other frr the purpose of collective
ourchnsing. It will not serve indivi
duals, but will serve country organiza
tlons.
In a booklet, just issued by the farm
bureau federation, the purposes of the
exchange are set forth in detail. In
Its preamble, the booklet declares that
the exchange was organized solely lie-
cause of the marketing ills in Geor
gia, and for the reason that the far
mers needed some central exchange
to provide markets for their product
The six main selling divisions are
division as sweet potato division
syrup djvision, grain division, melon
division, live stock division and cotton
division. Under each of these d
partments will be rt.b-divtsicns, f
that every article produced in Geor
gia may have an organized outlet.
Tho pure lasig division will have
charge of buying commodities for
county organizations. One of he
first things that this department will
undertake will be the purchasing in
large quantities cf coal for next whi
te,. Later on, fertilizer, farm tools,
seeds and everything else that the
’armors require, will be purchased
or them by this department.
County fa,nn organizations desiring
o use the exchange should write to
Mr. Sanders, who will gladly furnish
complete information as to how the
xchange functions.
Of more than passing interest is
he canning plant that is being opera
ted In Milledgeville by Mr. E, E.
Hass, one of Baldwin county's most
progressive citiz ns.
A couple of years ago Mr, Bass
convinced) the idea that vegetables
ind fruit could be preserved Ihere
on a profitable basis. He secured
an outfit at the beginning of the
season last year and commenced to
ry out the project.
This ycc,i’ the plant owned and
iperated by Mr. Bass has provided a
narket for quite a quantity of fruit
ind vegetables grown in Baldwin
county. During the past three
'our weeks in the neighberhood of
ccore of persons have been engaged
at the cannery and according to pros
ent prospects they will be given work
for tho next month or longer period.
S mo days in the neighborhood of
i thousand quarts of vegetables alone
ure being put vp by the cannery.
Since the f ret of July the enterprise

The success of Mr. Bass in conduct
ing this industry in a small way ha*
demonstrated the fact that a canning
factory on a large scale can be rpera
ted here as well s# anywhere in the
country and cn a much more profi
table ha iis than In many section
where a eh work is now being car
ried on.
It is a well recognized fact that
fruits and vegetables can be grown
in this section cn a | e' - y extensive
basis. The lands here are adapted
to the growing of almost every kind
of fruit and vegetables of all varie
ties almost oan be produced here as
extensively as in any other part of
the union.
J For many years it lia3 been the
case that many growers of both
fruits a.nd vegetables have been able
to find a worthwhile demand for
their products only at the beginning
of the. season. As seen as the gath
ring seasons opened up properly the
loeal market would become glutted
and loads of both fruits and vegeta
bios would go to complete loss.
In view of the fact the boll weevil
has invaded this section and thus
destroying the chances of growing
cott n as extensively as it has been
grow u heretofore the matter of co
operating in undertaking that will
teard to bring about consumption of
products grewn by farmers is being
made clear hero cf late.
