cm URT ONLY 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 <ats acreage and 65 per cent of its v heat acreage. And while campaigning a city mar *ie', At anta might as well take theleac ,n the United States in another impor- Um matter. There ought to be in this building a rest room for the farn ' !

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.
