TELEPHONE Ill
F#rt Valley, Ga., July 20, 1908,
From a Georgia Peach
Grower
The peach season in Georgia
for 1908 is practically closed and
we hear the usual complaints and
resolutions to pull up trees, etc.
There can be no question of the
fact that the railroads,
mission people, crate factories
and laborers have gottou 90 per
cent of the crop and perhaps
more than that; 1908 has been a
. critical year for the growers.
And if the next crop was not so
far off they would come together
and institute some plan or relief.
If they wait till next spring .just
before the xext crop is to
nothing will be done and the next
large crop will but be a repu
tation of this.
It is evident to any observant
grower that, a crop of the size of
the one just sacrificed must be
distributed in order to secure
remunerative prices. This can¬
not be done unless the distri
bution agency has exclusive con¬
trol of tho entire crop. There
are so many cars “diverted” in
transit that it is imposible for
any distributing agency to avoid
tho glutted markets by figuring
on the destination of shipments
from the initial points. There
fore the distributin <»' agency
must have exclusive control of
the entire movement, thereby
placing in each market no more
fruit than can be handled at
satisfactory prices.
If the growers will come to¬
gether in convention now while
the importance of action sucli is rqAv j
plain to all and perfect an
organization as will injure con¬ i
trol of Jhe entire .crop in the
future the industry will become
a permanent and profitable one. j
This agency should be the creat-j
ure of the growers and con- [
trolled by the growers, some
thing after the plan of the Cali¬
fornia organization. It will rt-!
quire at least [twelve months to
perfect the organization and un¬
less we act now we will but re¬
peat 1908’s experience when we
have another crop.
There are at least 100 cities of
26,000 to 50,000 inhabitants which
have not seen a peach this year.
We expressed a few crates to a
city in Ohio to a friend. He
writes that there had been no
peaches at all in his city up to
July. A ca~ in that city would
have secured handsome prices.
It will be the duty of this dis
trbuting agencyto find these
places and see that they have
peaches and that no city gets
more than will bring reasonable
prices.
This matter is with the larger
growers who have enough in¬
vested to carry weight. If they |
will come together others will
join them. They need not stand
off and say they can manage their
own business, for the little fel
fows will grow enough£peaches
to flood the market aud the large
, and “small growers will share
alike the result. Henca let the
large growers come together in
convention aud we little
will join them build and organize
system that will up an
dustry worth millions to
State.

Hnu/ now a a Man mn Reramp Became Brother oromer tn m Hie ms ftu/n uwn
Child
A queer genealogical tangle is
I reported from Mayence. A sau
i sausage sausaee maker matter or. of that tnac town town
Fritz Flulirer by name, married
a widdow of tllil'ty-seven named
Garrecht, who had a daughter
eighteen years old, Madeline
Garrecht,
His fatuer, Georges Fluhrer, a
widower of sixty-one, then ap¬
peared on the scene, fell in love
with Madeline and married her
so that at one and the same time
Frau Fritz Fluhrer became
daughter-in-law of Georges
Fluhrer.
But things did not end there.
Georges Fluhrer.had a son Hans,
who is at once brother to Fritz
Fluhrer and his grandson
through Mandoline Garrecht, his
stepdaughter. To make confusion
worse, Frau Fritz Fluhrer also
had a son, Johan, and so Fritz
Fluhrer became brother to his
own child,
Thus, Fritz Fluhrer is his
mother’s brother-in-law, his wife
is her own sou’s aunt, Johna
Fluhrer is grandson of Georges
Fluhrer and Fritz Fluhrer is his
own father-in-law.
