A prominent railroad official who
recently made a trip through South
east Georgia said yesterday that the
much heralded “back to th* farm’ 1
movement has been given It* moat
serious sot-back by the scarcity of
labor In the country diltrlcta and
the extreme,y low cotton prices that
bare prevailed this year, says the
Morning News.
Thle railroad official, who for per

condition* will hava th* affact ot
bringing to the city a groat many
who this year on the farm were un
able to make both ends most. This,
he said, la to be deplored, but the
remedy will not be found until the
pendulum of prices swings back and
the farmers are alble to get their cot
ton picked and get reasonable prices
for it after It Is picked.

Therq is always a living for a man

“I talked with on* farmer who
this year was fust able to equeese
out a bare living, and at the end ot
the season does It look reasonable
that thla man will want to take a
chance at farming next year? Of
course there are a lot of people who
are contented with Juab)
but these are very few^ '
"I noticed that a
this year’s cotton crop is
bolls.' The farmers don't
to get labor enough to pick the col
ton, and th* prevailing prices are noj
good enough to make the farmer*
put forth any special effort to get
their cotton picked. Much of th*
cotton has fallen on the ground apd
it will scarcely pay th* fanner* to
hare it up and ginned. The prices
ar* low enough for tbo bast, and it
will hardly pay th* farmers to gath
er up thlg that has fallen on th*
ground.
"Th* farmera generally, I think
are dissatisfied with conditions Not
only have they gotten very low
prices for thalr products, but they
have had to pay exorbitant prices
tor what they bought. The pres
ent condition* are certainly not at
tractive enough to Induce the
farmers to stay on their farms.
