ted market? Certainly not. Thus
by directing you when to load. the
Assn. is merely passing on to you
the information whether the market
will take more potatoes or whether
further shipment would break" the
market, in which case you would be
the loser. Orderly Marketing can
only be accomplished when the Assn.
directs the FLOW" Of products to
the markets.

sAry in order to prevent flooding

c0rding to demand and prevent q
'price fall" The Assn. must be
able to authorize the grower to de-
lay marketing otherwise We have
no Orderly Marketing and no stable
price. Growers must share equally
In this responsibility OF holding po-
tatoeH back to effect orderly mar
ketinx. This is brought about thru
proper management. definite forms
being used for the purpose. In cases
