Affairs of the DefunCt Eufaula
Bank Not Reassuring
to DepOsitOrS.

Messrs. G.. r. Desassure of Atlanta,
Mark L. Crawford of Washington, ID.
c., and J. K. Mcdonald of Birming-
ham, all government bank experts
who have had long and varied expert
ence in untangling the mathematical
complications of suspended banks, are
hard at work on the puzzle OF the Eu-
faula National Bank.
AS we have said before, no one can
find out thing about the affairs OF the
bank because the examiners are
pledged to silence and are not talking
But this silence is Ominous and pre-
ages much worse condition of things
than was first reported. People are
anxious to know the truth, and should
know it, but the probability is that
they will have to await the long pro-
cess of a thorough examination into al
fairs of this old bank dating back years
ago. 1t may be couple of years be-
fore the bank business is settled. just
how much depositors will get in return
is mere latter of guess. No one
knows. Not even the receiver. And
he will not know, nor will any one else
know. until the business has gone
through the searching crucible OF Off
cial investigation. Old papers, dating
back many years, will have to be in
vestlgated, aud it is no little task to
figure up and settle up the large
amount of business done by this bank
in the past.
OF course there are many idle ru
mors and much conjecture, but nothing
is known outside of the bank except
that affairs there are badly mixed up
and that it will take time and patience
to arrive at balance statemant. Eu-

The industrial commission, which
has been in session in Washington,
has made public it's review of evidence
taken before the commission on the
subjects of agriculture and agricultur-
al labor. Among other subjects dis
cussed is that of agricultural depre3-
SION. of which the commission speaks
as follows:
'FT'he cause most often assigned for
the depression of agriculture in the
eastern states is the increased produce
ton due to the opening of western
lands in advance of the natural de-
mand, especially through the agency
of liberal land laws and grants OF land
in aid OF railroad construction. The
competition of the west has been rem
dered especially severe by the policy
of the railroads in making freight
rates relatively low for long distances.
The old staple products having thus
become Improbable in the east, 1t
has been necessary for farmers to
change their methods and vary the
character of their crops, taking up
especially the culture OF products
which are not easily transported long
distances. Thus truck farming has
largely superseded cereal growing
along the Atlantic coast, but farmers
in the north Atlantic states now com
plain of severe competition OF states
farther south in this industry, and
much the same may be said of fruit
growing, and even so perishable com
modify as milk is transported much
longer distances than formerly since
the introduction of refrigerator cars.

nesses assign for the unsatisfactory

THE TROUBLES OF THE FARMERS.
Depression Agriculture in the Eastern States Scarcity OF
Money in South and Inefciency of Negro Labor

condition Of agriculture in some parts
of the country is the conservatism of
the farmers, their lack of quick adjust
ment to changed conditions and lack
of effective business planning and
management. The farmers as class
have not kept up with the times, but
have raised the same crops year after
year without regard to the changes in
supply and demand. This undue con-
seryatism and lack of managing ability
among farmers is especially emphasiz-
ed with reference to the southern
states, and is given as an explanation
of the too exclusive attention to cot
ton production prevailing there.
"Another cause assigned for the
agricultulural depression in the
south is the scarcity of money, diff
ficulty of borrowing on real estate
security, and the consequent high
rates of interest. 1t seems possible,
however, to borrow money in the
south at somewhat lower rates of in
terest than formerly. The decline in
the price of cotton is of course an i'm
portant element in the depression of
agriculture in the south. The inetfi-
cheney of the negro labor is assigned
as another cause. An abundance Of
cheap labor is SAID to be unfavorable
to the success of agriculture, because
it results in planting too large an
acreage and in neglect of personal at
tention by the planter.
against the charge that farmers
are unduly conservative is put the
counter charge that they turn from
one crop to another without sufficient
regard to the suitability OF the climate
and soil, or to the conditions of the
market"
