Atlanta, Ga ,—The farmers iu

of Georgia, Alabam, Florida, Ten
uessee, Mississippi and Louisiana,
have been greatly helped iu a
financial way bv the Federal Re¬
serve Bank of Atlanta, through its
member banks, was the statement
made here Monday by leading
Atlanta baukers.
The greatest number of notes
held by the federal bank in At¬
lanta are notes g^ven by farmers
to its member banks scattered
throughout the six states in this
district aud many of them were
given by farmers who live in
Georgia, it was stated.
These notes, it was stated, were
given by farmers for money with
which to plant their crops, to buy
stock with which to cultivate their
crops, to pay for the employment
of hands that are needed to culti¬
vate the crops aud gather them at
maturity, and iu many ways aid
the farmer in furnishing the funds
with which he is enabled to im
prove and care for his crop at
maturity.
“The Federal Reserve Bauk of
Atlauta has always helped the
farmers and will continue to do
so,” said Hon. M. B. Wellborn,
governor of the bauk. “Through
its member banks, it stands riaJy
to help any deserving enterprise
that looks to the betterment of the
general agricultural, commercial
aud industrial conditions of the
district.”
