THE HOME MARKET

Dublin and its chamber of commerce
are making good with their efforts
to provide market for the food
products and the farm output of
Laurens county The board of trade
pledged to find market for any
thing the farmers brought to town in
Il salable condition. This pledge has
been kept, so the report goes, and it
has had much to do with encouraging
the farmers to do much more progress
sive farming, raise more food crops,
and follow farming with greater
manifestation of business method and
profit.
One thing in Cordele has been a
hindrance to the farmer. We have
very few backward farmers, but we
have quite often seen them fail to
get market. We are to grow more
velvet beans this year because they
farmers will have more meat and live
have reached high spot in the mark
ct We are to raise thousands of bu-
shells al potatoes, rice, peanuts and
corn over the last years amount Our
stock to sell this yer, But all things
point to the same old marketing diff
ficulties. The farmer often laughs
and boasts that he can glut the mark
ct in Cordele with potatoes inside
half bushel measure.
Our new board of trade is going to
start this cooperation with the farm
err when the body gets under way and
then they will have an assurance that
will help wonderfully to establish
the habit of making money crops in
other lines besides cotton. 1t ought
to be so that every salable article
from the farm was taken as soon as it
reaches town. The market is a wond-
erful inducement for the farmer to
make something to sell. II he only
had three bushels Of potatoes to sell
and knew he could sell them in Cor
dele. it would be a great advantage.
1t is not an impossible task to make
1t so lie can do that, Our farmers are
the first people with whom our new
board of trade should open negotfa-
lions.

OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY.
OBSTACLES TO BUILDING

Seventy-four cities have returned
to the U. S. Department OF Labor
uuestionnaires of building needs and
obstacles in getting building undert(
way. Fifty seven Of these cities show
a pressing demand for building and
most of these emphatic the shortage
OF dwellings and apartment houses.
The questionnaries, which We're sent
out by the Division of Public Works
and Construction Development OF
the U. S. Department of Labor, were
calculated to verify results of other
Investigations into the building short
age OF the country and to develop
what, il any, obstacles were being
encounter by building inaerests.
Specific information was asked on
the influence of wages, material
prices, interest rates and available
investment capital Several cities re-
ported that it was none of these
which was delaying building but
rather the uncertainty Of the future
labor and material market. majority
of the cities assert that high wages
are a factor in holding back building;
there is almost unanimous concur
renee in the opinion that high prices
of materials are determined obstacles,
There is not much complaint about
interest rates but ID cities report
builders are having difficulty in OBJ
tanning capital to finance projects,
This latter obstacle appears not to be
growing out of conditions in widely
separated territory Cambridge, Mass.
New Haven, Conn, Albany, N. Y,
Philadelphia, Pa, Terre Haute, Ind,
Wheeling, w. Va, Aurora, III, are
among the cities reporting difficulty
in borrowing capital for building
work
Wherever building industry organ
izations have gone into the subject.
the conclusion has prevailed that no
decrease in labor wages may be
expected for some time to come-not
until the general price level on liv-
ing necessities drops. The investiga-
tions OF the enconomists in the De.
partment of Labor, supported by no
less an authority than Prof. Irving
Fisher, of Yale University, assert no
market reduction may be expected
in building material prices. Prof.
Fisher asserts we are on new and
higher price level from which, in the
main, we shall not recede I'VE are
on permanently higher price level"
says Prof. Fisher, and the sooner
the business men of the country take
this view and adjust themselves to it.
the sooner will they save themselves
and the nation from the misfortune
which will come, if we persist in our
present false hope"
