HELD AT COLLEGE
Agricultural Conference
Held At Afternoon
Session of Delegates.
The way to get the government
out of business is to anticipate and
render the services ° that fedefal
agencies are giving, Lee S. Trim
ble, vice-president and ' cashier of
the Georgia Railroad Bank of Au
gusta, told 100 bankers of north
east Geergia here - today at the
college of agriculture,
Mr. Trimble said there is evi
dence that the public favor for
government activities js passing
and that there are definite signs
that economic conditions are im
proving rapidly. With the passing
of the emergency, many of the
government finaneial activities will
cease, and then the responsibility
will be on bankers to- carry them
on in their pespective communi
ties, he declared. £
In a paper by H. Lane Young;
Atlanta banker and chairman of
the agricultural commission of.the
American Bankers association, im
portance of bankers “teaming-up”
with farmers and of a soil im
provement program’ was stressed.
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. Together they are mak
ing a. steady pull for worthwhile
results that will confer lasting
benefits upon their respective
communities. Economic law. can
not be so seriously distarbed as
it has in the past few years and
