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.

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. i PURITY, QUALITY, CLEANLINESS.
