SPEED THE DAY In the twenty years from 1900 to (9SB aerorvling to the census, very Iftalt vain is shown as to the num ber employ «d in agricultural pur ■uitiy while manufacturing and ■wlkwr industrial enterprises dou htoff and more. /As the Southern Ruralist points “to 1900 according to the United States census, 10,248,036 individu rnk '.went employed in agriculture; S»7€JC3 were employed in manu fsr •[. r r»; €19.850 were employed in ■straw; 1,017.053 were employed in nuh sd.v In 1920. 10,682,944 were engaged in agriculture; 10,543,699 ware engaged in manufactures; U»,ai were employed ia mines; and 2,022,832 * were employed by railroads. All told, approximately twenty four million people were employed in these various phases of industry in the United States. In other words, slightly over three million people are employed in oth er industries than in agriculture.” Now if agriculture is the back bone of our material life and pros perity, it would seem that the back bone is not as strong as it was 20 years ago. With the exception of the oil scandal just now, probably mere is being written for and a bout agriculture than most any subject, and yet we are not getting very far on the way. The blame is laid on this and that condition, ag riculture suffering all the while. Diversification for the South seems to be its salvation. It is preached and is being practiced more than ever before. The indi vidual farmer can not do it all, he must have assistance and actual help by the financial institutions, community organizations for pro gress, business men and the other agencies that can help him. The farmer must be given the best of information as to his soils, hie pro duction of crops and must have marketing facilities that justifies a good profit. When we all get in terested enough in agriculture to really do something to help it, place onr confidence in it and work to make agriculture what it should be, and eliminate its hindrances, then agriculture under such treat ment will generously respond. The Progressive Farmer recently editorially pointed out a situation that must obtain if agriculture is to take its rank: "Now that the South has enter ed the field of diversified produc tion more broadly than even before, the necessity for organized and ef cient distribution and marketing becomes imperative. These are not problems of the farmer alone. They affect every individual, every business, every profession, and the state and nation. Chambers of com merce, bankers’ associations, mer chants’ associations, and state and national departments .must aid in the growth of the new marketing movements and give them the ad vantage of their experience.” Legislation, information and farm organization play big parts in the program but even these can not turn the trick for the farmer.- To his rescue must come the sin cere and sympathetic understand ing of the banker, the business t man, the professional man, and not orily understanding but real help. The farmer is not a beggar but in this free country of ours he needs a fair chance, the chance that big business can give him. He needs to be eliminated as a football of poli tics, speculation and removed as a victim of interests, and given fair treatment. Tjje order of things must change. There is too much profit on the road from the producer to the con sumer, and the profit does not go to the farmer. When prices fall the farmer is the first and hardest hit; when prices rise, he is the last to benefit. This is fundamentally wrong and agriculture to take its place and to invite the strong of our country to engage in its pur suits, must be brought back to the position of first consideration. W r e are not in politics, we have no ax to grind, but we are stating the facts as we see them, and we are glad to believe that it is break ing through the minds of business that something must be done for agriculture. In this country great things may be done for diversified farming when our business men really wake up to their responsibility, and in vest in tfit farmer, back him. sup port him, encourage him, place confidence in him and see to it that he is given the full opportunity to produce and to market his crops to advantage. The business men of other counties in Georgia have a wakened to these facts, and those counties are going forward. We can do it too, if we will.
