FARMER NOV GETTING
BETTER PRICES FOR
STUFF PRODUCED
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 6.—One of lh«
gratifying feature* of tha present
business situation in Georgia and tha
South is that the farmer is getting
a fair return for bis labor and
itment, according to officials of
the Georgia Department of Agri-
oulture.
Usually it is the farmer who loses,
as pointed out by Commissioner of
Agriculture J. J. Brown. If he makes
good crops the prices of the thing*,
he produces are mysteriosly kept
down, althongh the demand may be
great as ever. If he makes
poor crop, conditions in other lines
of industry generally contribute to
keep prices of farm products from
rising, and the farmer gets tha short
end of the deal.
Thia year thing* appear to be
different, aaya the Georgia Comrnis-
aionar. Through organisation and
co-ops retire selling, tha farmer is
making his own price scheduio
greater extent than erer before. Tha
result la the Southern farmer I* gett
ing more for his cotton, hia corn and
tha other products of his farm than
he has been getting. This la enabl-

that hara been hanging orer for
three years, and ha is able to buy-
farm machinery and to make im
provements he has needed to buy and
make for several years. A siiftilai
condition prevails in other parts of
the country and the American far-
whole, is prosperous, agri
cultural leaders here assert.
To Georgians it is especially
gratifying to note that the Georgia
farmer is getting the best of the
argument in the matter of price* lot
farm product* along with his othei
Southern neighbors. An investiga
tion of farm output and prices for
farm products has been made by
officials of the Georgia Department
of Agriculture, and they show that
the prices of Georgia farm products
has increased 12 per cent, this yeai
year ago, while the
moditiea the farmers buy have de
creased about nine per cent, in price.
The official* of the agricultural
department explain that both of these
percentages were obtained by weigh
ing the individual commodities whose
prices have been surveyed, according
their Importance In the general
scheme of the farmers' sal
purchase. Cotton, the chief article
of sale, is aow S2 per cent,
valuable then a year ago, whi
seed is bringing practically the
same price.
