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 sonal ronton does not with hit name used, declares that existing 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. “You can always notice,” he stiff, "that when we have a season Of poor cotton prices or any other ser ious condition such as labor scarcity In the country, ‘a beck to the city' movement follows You can't blama. a man for moving to the city when on tha farm h* can’t make a living.

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.
