PLANTER MUST
GET FAIR PRICE
TO HOLD LABOR

ATLANTA, September 1.-Stimu-
lation of production through organi-
cation of the producers and reduced
labor costs on the farm, is suggested
as one Of the remedies for the high
cost of living, by the Georgia state
department of agriculture.
Speaking of the agitation over the
high cost of living, Commissioner
Brown made this statement:
"While there has undoubtedly been
some profteering in the necessities of
life, one Of the greatest causes of the
high cost of living is the fact that
America is exporting millions of tons
Of food to Europe; and another is the
policy of our own government in pay
ing wages so much higher than can
possibly be paid for labor on the
farms.
"The result has been drainage of
labor from the farms for the last
twenty-four months; and the real
cause in a nutshell, is that we now
have an excess of consumers, with a
scarcity of producers.
"The only way to encourage pro-
duction, thereby reducing the high
cost of living, is to see that the pro-
Queer is paid for his products a fair
margin above the cost of production,
thereby enabling him to put his bust
ness on a basis with other industrial
lines. In other words, the producer
should be in a position to secure
needed labor in the open market and
to hold it,.
AS cotton is the basis of cash
farm products in the South, the bust.
ness interests combined with the
farming interests, are now organizing
the American Cotton Association,
with view to maintaining a price
that will mean fair margin of profit
above the cost of production. That
will enable the farmers of the South
to increase production by being in po-
sition to offer substantial wages,
