Atlanta, February 16 Just at
this moment it appears that ele-

either automobiles or wild ami
mails in Atlanta; two men have
been killed by them and a third
badly mutilated within the past
thirty-six hours.
The accidents were all separate
and had nothing to do with each
other, their falling together was
simply a coincidence.
Lee Brock, nineteen years old,
a prisoner in the Jail, was killed
by trying to leap into moving
elevator; George Hayes, a paint
er working at the Majestic hotel,
met death there in an almost
similar manner. About the time
Hayes died at the Grady hospital

FARM PROBLEM:
VERY HEART OF IT
Cooperation Necessary for FL
nancial Equipment of the
Tillers of the Soil.

The following from the editorial col
umn Of the Indianapolis News is we'll
worthy the study of Virginia farmers
and Virginia nnanciers:
No feature OF our life in this country
is graver than that which might he
called the farming problem. And tho
gravity OF IL seems to he double. at
least One part pertains TO better
methods so as TO set better crop yields
In spite OF all the aid. state and ma
tional. that is given, progress in this
way has been very slow. We are not
to-day raising much more than half
crops, and in some things not so much
compared with what could do by
better farming. Another phase is fnan-
cial The farmer lacks credit. He
can borrow money on his land by mort
gage. but he cannot get current funds
on his crops for short loan. Next
month the commission appointed to
investigate European conditions starts
l; will study closely many features Of
rural life In European countries. but
will give special attention TO the CO.
operative rural credit systems. When
Sir Horace Plunkett, who has done so
much for the farming interests of Ire
land. was in this country n year ago.
he told the Southern Comm ercial Con-
Eress, whose guest he was. that the
chief difference between farmers bust
ness and ether kinds OF business was
that farmers are the only body Of
workers that has failed TO realize that
everything must be done in a large
way If il is TO he done to paw. and
that If such men have small businesses
they must combine to get the advan-
taee Of large transactions.
Therein lies the heart Of the rural
credit unions which are SO successful.
and by lack of which we suffer With
the exception OF small credit union
two or three years old, organized eX
ciusively for jewish farmers and
working around New York and Con-
necticut, there ia nothing Of the kind
with us. Indeed, we seem to he strange
~ impervicus to the idea Of co-opera-
tion in anything. In cities where close
relations and proximity make the
problem easy, we have never been able
TO do as the English and Scotch do,
md by the means OF cooperative So
cieties save enormous sums for millions
OF members, not merely in trade prices.
hut in manufacture. These co-opera-
tive systems in Great Britain have
grown so large and strong that they
control mills and factories as we'll as
retail stores
AS for our farming interests, they
are suffering from the lack Of credit
and the inability to use their assets
for present purposes, and yet withal
we have sat helpless. What makes it
stranger is that in other fields we are
the most practical people. There is
home for remedy in what the American
commission may do. IL had the
genius we could cover the country with
agricultural credit unions. SO IL were
well that we should be admonished
that all the commissions in the world
