does not have a member of tie family

oe _ working in town or who is not himself

working in town. At first this town work

time farming, but quite often the farm-
ing part of the combination is gradually
forsaken until the farmer finds himself
living in the country, working in town,
and doing very little farming. This coun-
~ try-living, town-working combination has
_ been hastened and is continuing to- be
hastened by the high capital cost of farm-
ing which the small North Georgia farms

~ cannot pay for and, at the same time, pro-

vide a living for the farmer and his fam-

-| ily. As the farmer ceases to farm he be-
-|- gins buying more and more of his gro-

ceries in the grocery store rather than

. been increasing very rapidly, this change
in the activity of the farm population of
North Georgia has increased the demand
_ for the sale of farm produce in the State.
All indications are that this trend in

_ North Georgia will continue in the future.

as it has in the past.

In the fatming areas of the State which
are suitable for produce growing and

which need additional cash income, it:
- would be well for the individual farmer

so located who wishes to grow produce

farm with regard. to growing the truck
crop in which he is interested and to study
as well as possible the marketing situation

with regard to the truck crops he plans

on producing.

so the Farmers Markets aa be operated

~ with the utmost care to give the farmers

of Georgia an opportunity to sell their

produce at market price. This means that

prices will necessarily change according
to market conditions. If there is a scarcity
of certain produce with a good demand,
_the price will naturally be up. On the other
hand, if there is a large supply of pro-
duce on the Market with little demand,
the price for the product will necessarily
be down. Nothing can hold prices of pro-
duce up on a glutted or overloaded market.

_- A metal roof with a hard surface un-
_derneath does not make a market, A mar-
_ket is a place where there is volume

| enough of goods to attract enough buyers
| to have competitive bidding. If there were
only one (or oe ee S the gobacco



is carried on in combination with part- =

- growing them at home. Although the pop-
| ulation of the State of Georgia has not

_ to study well all the conditions on his _



auction sales in the fall of the ee
. would not be a tobacco market because
there would not be enough buyers for

competitive bidding. ,

In order to have adequate markets it ~

may become necessary in certain cases










NUMBER 19

-

to designate markets.as specialty markets

which will be the only markets in that

area to handle certain farm produce.

Under this system there could be only two
or three markets in South Georgia which
would be permitted to handle tomatoes,
ag an example. Then there would be
enough volume of tomatoes on these mar-

kets to encourage enough buyers to. come

fo them to make the bidding competitive.
Too often small lots of tomatoes on non-
tomato markets find no buyers. :

Whether or not this system of special- : aS

ty markets should be used must be de-
termined as promotion of the markets is
continued in the future.

LARGEST MARKET

The largest and most successful State

Market is the one located in Atlanta. At
the time this Market was located on Mur-
phy Avenue and construction begun, it
was impossit vv foresee the tremendous
business <.

very few years. Farmers and truckers be-
gan responding immediately and began

_to drive their trucks to the Atlanta market.

As activity increased additional sheds

~ and facilities were added to the Market

until it-grew into the condition existing
at the Market today, which is one of con-
gested traffic and inadequate facilities
for the volume of business without room
for adequate expansion. The success of
the Market has caused it to outgrow itself.

A recent inspection of new markets
in San Antonio and Houston, Texas, re-
vealed that with only one-third the busi-
ness of the Atlanta Market they each re-
quired about twenty-five acres to adequ-
ately handle the volume of these Texas
markets. This compares with sixteen acres

on which the Atlanta Market is confined,
and the Texas markets are now looking

for expansion room because of anticipated
increased volume on the markets. It is
anticipated that a minimum of 60-75 acres
