| change.
The meeting Wednesday was

| TO the Georgia Peach Growers:
! Your committee this day appoint
ed respectfully submits the follow
| ing report:
| O-We recommend most strongly
that the Georgia fruit exchange he
reOrganized to meet all present con
ditiOns in order that Georgia peach
es may be properly grown, packed,
distributed and sold.
GIVE recommend that member
ship in this exchange be limited to
growers of peaches and that all
Georgia peach growers, the resolu
quested to join in this exchange in
order that the industry may be
fully protected in every way by this
association.
Sit is the sense of your com
mitee that the Georgia fruit eX-

and completely with the fruit eX-

centralized. exclusive sales agency
of all carload lots of peaches shipped
by any member of this exchange,
that this exchange alone shall make

members, and that no grower who

make any sale of peaces except with

err operation Of this Exchange that
| a standard pack for all peaches shall
be adopted after proper inVestiga-
ton by this Exchange and used by
its members.
g. We recommend that the Elk
change act as a purchasing agent
for all orchard supplies, crates, etc,
needed by its members in order
that it's members may secure the
benefit of wholesale purchasing.
Z. Distribution being one of the
essentials of a successful handling
of the Georgia peach crop, we deem
it essential that the Georgia Fruit

ITS members, in order that all mar
quate supplies and that the sale
Of peaches may be equalized
throughout the markets of the
country.

comprehensive way the marketing

problems incident to the growth and
development of the peach industry.
9. We think that the apprecia-
ton of peach growers should be eX-
| pressed to the Agricultural De-
partment of the L. S. for all as
sistance rendered to the peach in
dustry by them and express the
hope that their activities and as
sistance may be generally broad
ened and increased.
