President Barrett of National
Farmers Union Predicts Steady
Influx of Farmers Into Georgia
Georgia hasn’t gone ‘town-lot"

dent of National Farmers Union, talk
, his .
ing to The Week, after a visit to
■own farms in Florida, following an
inspection of his farm in White coun
Ay, Georgia last week.
“Futhermore,” said Mr. Barrett,
‘this state isn’t suffering any agri
:ultural set-back or calamity because

suffeT?d, “Asypcultural spots in this state

•early in the year, to expect, but their
experience doesn’t differ at all from
-what I have seen in the West, Wyo
imrx Indiana, Illinois; oh, all those
great agricultural states have had
their weather condition problem this
year, and I suspect none of them have
been as bad as some of the pictures
were painted.
“When I got home I expected to

of starving Why, I was never more
surprised than on my visit to that
farm The farmers are all making
something; they are not going to
lose stock. I have gone over some of
the other ‘drough stricken’ counties,
too. The people are not in danger of
pi Nation or suffering. Agricultural
conditions could have been better, but
they are not as bad anywhere as re
ports have led people outside of our
state to believe.”
It is true, Mr. Barrett says, that
~tht£te , . is a great . deal , , of - fine -• „i

tivated •? that ought , , , to go on the mar¬ _
ket; should be settled with some of
the thrifty enterpr.smg people who
are migrating this way. And there .
a a demand .u for that sort of land, too. I
liave found out that there are a few
fda people from this state down in Flor
right now, who are taking the
right kind of advantage of an oppor
tunity. They are letting the visitors
t-the sure enough home-seekers—
.look over what’s offered in Florida.
■They are joining in the admiration
7 that state’s get-up-and-go, its won
lerful development. Then, when kjie
new comer doesn’t find the farm he
really is looking for, attention is di
rected to a location in Georgia which
suits him and a good many Georgia
farms have been sold to them.
“Judging from what I have observ¬
ed, Georgia will, next year, have sev¬
eral hundred new citizens, new farm
<-rs and that means the bringing in
,
of the kind of new blood we want—
people who are looking for agricul
tlfccil possibilities. We have them. God

‘The state utility
have proven the most effective
ernmental machinery thus far
tablished for the regulation of
utilities,” said Dean Ralph E. Heil
man, of the Northwestern University
School of Commerce, addressing the
Indiana State Teachers Association on
‘Government and Business.
“Viewed purely as a form of gov¬
ernment machinery there can be no
doubt that they have proven the most
effective machinery thus far devised
_much superior to detailed control by
legislative bodies, state legislatures,
city councils, etc.
“The conditions responsible for the
municipal ownership movement in the
United States have to a considerable
extent disappeared, or are in process
of doing so.
“Doubtless one of the most impor¬
tant factors responsible for the muni¬
cipal ownership movement has been
the existence of many small copimuni
ties in which private corporations did
not care to undertake the service be
cause it did not appear profitable. In
most states there are a goodly num
ber of municipally operated electric
plants which owe their existence to
such a condition. Also, the abuses and
evils which were due to unenlighten
ed management of certain utility com¬
panies were strong factors in creat
ing the demand for public ownership.
“But today conditions have changed
in both of these respects. The coming
of giant power is bringing it about
that almost any community can ob¬
tain electric service without the neces
sity of resorting to municipal opera¬
tion. And in most of our states we
have established utility commissions
or boards, such as the Indiana Utili¬
ties Commission, vested with wide
