BUSINESS MAN SEES GOOD YEAR FOR FARMERS Atlanta, August 4.—Returning from an extended trip, Emmett Small, president of the Georgia Casualty Co., of Atlanta, told the correspond ent for this newspaper today that business conditions were good every where and that prosperity was un questionably on the way. The com pany which Mr. Small heads does business in 40 states and his trip took him in many sections. “The payrolls of the country show absolutely no diminution and there is a noticeable absence of unemploy ment everywhere,” Mr. Small said. Crop conditions, orchard, cereal and cotton, are particularly good and those in process of being marketed now are bringing good prices. The growing crops yet to be marketed are in a flourishing condition. Pros pects clearly indicate that returns this year will prove profitable to the farmer.” Mr. Small expressed _the opinion that 1925 would be a banner year for Georgia farmers. He looks for a sub stantial enhancement in Georgia farms in view of the fact that many people are coming south. He said that one of the prime needs of the state at the present time is hard surface highways traversing the principal sections of the state. “Good roads and an equitable re vision of Georgia’s tax laws will bring untold wealth to this state, the distribution of which will be felt alike both in the rural and city dis tricts,” he said.
