Athens January 20 8preiai of general and particular interest at the Conference of Farm and Farmers Wives now in possession at the State College of Agriculture today was the address of Manager J M Fleming of the Georgia Fruit Exchange with headquarters in Atlanta on Cooperation and the Georgia Fruit Exchange.

He noted that cooperative marketing of perishables is spreading and credited the Georgia Fruit Exchange with organizing a system to distribute markets and reduce glutted or empty markets. He described selective market houses and the necessity of members to support the exchange to avoid nonmembers undercutting prices. The plan includes cutting commission from 10 to 8 percent and using contracts with commission houses to fund expenses, making the organization self supporting and cheaper for growers.
