HIGH PRICES
So Declares Leader in Cam
paign for a Public Produce
Exchange in Atlanta.
E c. Branson, president of the State
formal school, in a statement today
(hows the advantages of a city market
Atlanta and praises the Atlanta
T league’s campaign to have one
stablished. He declares that it would
w ,terlaliv lower the cost of living. Mr.
B an-on who is leader of the Georgia
? i ub which is working for the same
abject, declares:
The increased cost of living makes
the c ity market everywhere a pinching
necessitv. Last June the Atlanta pa-
De rs announced that the cost of living
here had reached the highest point in
81 rears; that the general advance in
the' wholesale price of foodstuffs had
been 20 P«r cent dur,n X the Previous
month, and that the wholesale price of
meats had advanced from 34 to 40 per
ent m3O days. The New York papers
sported during the summer that the
people of that city were paying from
J-200.000 to 3300.000 a day for food sup
,jes more than they were paying a
rear ago; that is, from seven and a
quarter million to a billion dollars or
more during the year! Relatively the
, fl me thing is true of Atlanta and every
other American city.
And no relief is in sig. despite the
bumper crops of the preset, year.
In Georgia our population has in
creased two and a half times over in 60
years, but there were fewer hogs
raised in Georgia in 1910 than in 1850,
n-hiir the cattle on farms and ranges
were barely more than 60 years ago.
The cost of living makes one’s top-
Knot stand straight up already, but the
authorities warn us that it must be
greater still in the future. American
cities are, therefore, forced, willy-ni.’ly.
as Uncle Remus says, to adopt the old
world remedy of open, well regulated
city markets. •
Nashville's Market a Boon.
"In April two members of the Geor
gia club spent nearly a week studying
Vi Nashville city market. Each day
they ( ipped the market quotations
from ' Nashville newspapers. Upon
comparison with the market report of
Atlanta for the same days, it was found
that the farmers were getting nearly 30
per cent more for JheAr home-raised
products, while the buyers in Nashville
were paying about 10 per cent less than
Atlanta people were paying for the
same articles. The farmers get more,
the people in the city pay Jess for food
stuffs in Davidson county. Tennessee.
High prices are making the farmers
of Davidson county prosperous and
contented. While they are getting more
for what they raise, the consumers in
Nashville are paying legs for these
tilings than the buyers in Atlanta. City
markets give the farmers a chance to
share liberally in the general prosperity
of the community.
"But, on the other hand, look at the
languishing state of agriculture in Pul
ton county. The census returns of 1910
f ine 23 per cent fewer cattle, 80 per
cent fewer sheep. 20 per cent fewer
bogs and 43 per cent fewer poultry
raised in the county than in 1900. While
the city grew at a 72 per cent rate dur
ing the census period the farm regions
1 f the county lost more than 8 per cent
o' ‘heir population. Twenty-one hun
dred and sixty-three of the people on
the farms of Fulton county moved out
o' the farm regions, bag and baggage,
' rip and scrippage. The farms culti
'ate< by owners in Fulton county de
creased from 48 to 41 per cent. The
I runty lost in the ten years 36 per cent
II its corn acreage. 7 per cent of its
oats acreage and 65 per cent of its
"heat acreage.
And while campaigning a city mar-
Atlanta might as well take the lead

Grocers Are Benefifed.
"But a further word needs to be said.
Just as one might expect, the grocers
are invariably opposed to a city market
in cities that do not have such market,
but the grocers are invariably In favor
of city markets wherever they have
been already established. They visited
the grocers of the city. Every man jack
of them all was in favor of the city
market. They all wondered what they
would do without the city market.
"Atlanta will be obliged to have a
city market. It is Hobson's choice. But
every day and every minute of every
day of delay makes the problem more
enormous and more difficult of solution.
“The securing of some central, open,
ample space for a city market, and the
erection of an adequate building, with
modern facilities, means a great in
vestment in money to Atlanta; consid
ering the skyward flight of real estate
values in this growing city, the prob
lem is more easily solved this year than
next or the next.
"Atlanta can begin as Tacoma and
Kalamazoo began; that is to say, she
can set aside a certain street and cen
tralize her country produce trade in
country wagons and booths in a defi
nite, limited area,
"In many ways the city market is
just as important as a county court
house, a city hall or a city auditorium.
When well established and well regu
lated. the rentals pay operating ex
penses and dividends to the city treas
ury, while yielding dividends daily to
producers and consumers alike."
