W. Bachman, president of the ex change, reported to the directors the results of an Investigation of tho dif ferent angles of the situation, which he has been making several weeks, and was requested by the directors to pro ceed with the movement with all pos sible dispatch, which he will do. Two things are necessary, said Mr. Bachman, to give the farmers of Geor : gia adequate facilities for marketing ,their surplus of corn and any other grains they may produce. These are:' 1. Contract market, or grain ex change, where authoritative prices re flecting the general grain market are quoted daily, and where buyers and sellers may be brought together. 2. Grain elevator, where corn pro duced in Georgia, and oats and other grains, may be shucked, shelled, grad ed, stored and warehouse receipts is sued. Discussing the details of tho move ment, Mr. Bachman said: "Georgia this year has produced near ly ninety million bushels of corn, plac ing her among the first ten corn states of the Union. We have never elabo- rated in this state our facilities for marketing our surplus corn crop, and now we find our farmers confronted with a marketing problem. They are compelled to market their corn haphaz ard, finding customers wherever they can. "The Atlanta commercial exchange embraces corn and grain. It has de cided to undertake the creation of adequate facilities for marketing corn on a great commercial scale. Under the Capper-Tincher bill passed recent ly by congress, the secretary of agri culture in Washington is authorized to designate contract markets for grain where exchanges or boards of trade are in existence, and where grain is sold in sufficient volume to reflect the market. lye are now in touch with Secretary Wallace in Washington and with our state department of agricul ture in Atlanta for the purpose of hav ing a grain contract market created here under the Capper-Tincher act. “We hope to be able in a compara tively short time to give the relief so sorely needed. Our farmers were ask ed to diversify and produce food. They responded to that appeal, and now they are asking a market for their surplus. It Is the duty of commerce and fi nance to come to their aid..’ 70-Year-Old Man Attempts To Suicide Rome, Ga.—W T ill Whitehead, more than seventy years old, attempted to commit suicide one night recently.
