ECONOMIC RELIEF ORGED FOR FARMS NOTED LAWYER MAKES TALK ON EXTENSIONS OF CO-OPER ATIVE MARKETING STATE NEWS OF INTEREST Brief News Items Gathered Here And There From All Section* Of The State Athens.—Extension of co-operative marketing systems into all branches of farm agriculture, erection of suffi cient warehouses to handle farm prod ucts, and investment of surplus in come in bonds were urged as meas ures to bring about the economic re lief of the Georgia farmer by Eugene R. Black, of Atlanta, president of the Atlanta Trust company, in an address before the seventeenth annual farm ers’ conference now in session at the State College of Agriculture here re cently. Mr- Black was followed by J. J. Brown, commissioner of agricul ture. “The greatest stride the University of Georgia has ever taken, I believe, was the erection of the Agricultural building,” Mr. Black said. “Through out the recent history of the state it has probably done more for the bene fit of our citizens, especially the farm ers, than any other one factor.” Reviewing the recent situation in the farming industry, Mr. Black de clared that all business men had been forced to take a vital interest in the farmer and lliat in this aroused in terest lay hope for the future. “I am very much impressed with the interest now displayed,” he con tinued, “and I believe that, starting purely as a selfish interest forced upon business men, it has become an altruistic, patriotic interest in the welfare of the farmer and of the state. “The Georgia farmer has been con sistently robbed ever since he has been a farmer and no other business could have stood the strains that have been put upon him. Excessive inter est rates, lack of understanding of the farmers’ needs, and political nos trums of various kinds have been some of the burdens which have weighed down the business of farm ing. “To have prosperity in Georgia there must be prosperity for the farm er. There must be a re-establishment of values in lands before the farmer can be prosperous. Cooperative mar keting is essential to that prosperity.” Commissioner Brown, in the course of his address, stressed the factor of close co operation between the depart ment of agriculture and the State College of Agriculture which, he de clared, had existed during the past year “ The spirit of understanding and of harmony has been all that could have been asked,” he declared. “As com missioner of agriculture for the state of Georgia, I pledge you that that spirit will continue throughout 1924 and, if possible, will be made even more strong. We have learned that neither the state department of agri culture nor the agricultural college can work profitably one without the other.” Takes Own Life In Churchyard Macon.—The body of W. B.
