Mr. Young’s paper was read by D. H. Otis of Atlanta. Mr. Young was reported suffering from a cold. “Our interests are mutual” said Mr. Young. “As long ‘as oapital over-reach es for - profits, labor over-reaches for wages, and-public over-reach es for bargains, each will tend to destroy the other. “Recognizing the truth of this statement many bankersg are team ing with county agents on a long t i m e constructive agricultural program.
