W TO FIGHT
HIGH PRICES
So Declares Leader in Cam
paign for a Public Produce
Exchange in Atlanta.
E C. Branson, president of the State
Normal school, in a statement today
shows the advantages of a city market
t„r Atlanta and praises the Atlanta
■ivie league's campaign to have one
established. He declares that it would
Materially lower the cost of living. Mr.
B an-on. who is leader of the Georgia
.| U b which is working for the same
object, declares:
The increased cost of living makes
>he city market everywhere a pinching
necessity. Last .Tune the Atlanta pa
pers announced that the cost of living
here had reached the highest point tn
S) years: that the general advance in
the wholesale price of foodstuffs had
been 20 per tent during the previous
month, and that the wholesale price of
meats had advanced from 34 to 40 per
rent in 30 days. The New York papers
reported during the summer that the
people of that city were paying from
j-Tin 000 to $300,000 a day for food sup
piles more than they were paying a
rear ago: that is, from seven and a
q , ter million to a billion dollars or
more during the year! Relatively the
.ante thing is true of Atlanta and every
other American city.
■And no relief is in sight, despite the
bumper crops of the present 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,
while 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
gin dub spent nearly a week studying
tiie Nashville city market. Each day
they i : oed the market quotations
from : i Nashville newspapers. Upon
lompari.- >n with the market report of
Atlanta for the same days, It was found
that the farmers were getting nearly 30
per cent more for their 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 less for food
si tiffs 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 less for these
things than the buyers in Atlanta. City
markets give the farmers a chance to
snare liberally in the general prosperity
of the community.
' But. on the other hand, look at the
languishing state of agriculture in Ful
ton county. The census returns of 191 C
show 23 per cent fewer cattle. 80 per
cent, fewer sheep. 20 per cent fewer
bogs and 43 per cent fewer poultry
t-'sed in the county than in 1900. While
the city grew at a 72 per cent rate dur
ing the census period the farm regions
of the county lost more'than 8 per cent
of their population. Twenty-one hun
dred and sixty-three of the people or
the farms of Fulton county moved oul
of the farm regions, bag and baggage
scrip and scrippage. The farms culti
vated b\ owners in Fulton county de
<teased from 48 to 41 per cent. Ths
(•'unty lost in the ten years 36 per cent
o' its corn acreage. 7 per cent of its

v heat acreage.

Grocers Are Benefited.
"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 groce sos 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
i Kalamazoo began; that is to say, she
i 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
i just as important as a county court
■ house, a city hall or a city auditoriunj.
, When well established and well regu
lated. the rentals pay operating ex
’ ponses and dividends to the city treas
’ ury. while yielding dividends daily to
