PLANS
MARKET SYSTEM
FOR THE FARMERS

ATHENS, Ga, Dec. 15.-Address-
ing meeting Of county demonstra-
ton agents in session here Wednes-
day, Governor-elect Thomas w. Hard
wick said that the states most vital
need at present is a cash market for
it's crops, especially crops other than
cotton. The time has come when the
farmers must diversity, he declared.
and to do this they must feel as
Sured or a cash market for grain.
live stock, syrup, peanuts and other
products.
He then stated that the enlarge
ment of the state bureau Of markets
into a great brokerage system with
headquarters at the state capitol. so
to get in touch with the markets of
the country and realize cash on what
ever they choose to grow will be one
of the first aims of his administra-
ton.
Mr.. Hardwicl1s plan contemplates
or clearing house in the bureau of
markets at the state capitol which
would keep in. close touch by tele-
graph with markets in. all parts of
the country. especially, those mar
kets having a demand for crops
grown III GEORGIA.. lnlS Information
would be transmitted to agents of
the system in each Georgia county.
Farmers by consulting these agents
would be told where their velvet
beans, their corn, their syrup, their
peanuts, their hogs, their cattle or
any other product would command
the highest price. The agent or the
farmer himself could then get in
touch with the buyer through the
clearing house at the capitol or d.
rect.
The farmers products could be
shipped, bill of lading attached to a
sight draft on the purchaser. and
the grower could get his draft dis
counted at the bank, thus getting his
money on the day of sale.
The governor-ele stated that the
present bureau of markets under
Lem b. Jackson had done much for
the farmers, but something on a
larger scale is a vital need in Georgia
today. He asserted that time for
talk and writing has passed. as evil
denced by the present plight of the
farmer who is "hog-tied" to cotton
as his only money crop. Diversified
ton is the need of the hour, but di-
versification will never be widely
practiced until it is possible for the
farmer to get money for his side
lines in the same manner he gets it
for his cotton.

ANOTHER VICTIM Of
OVERLAPPING RING
To TESTIFY HERE
Mysterious Witness Will Tell
Grand Jury His Costly Ex-
perience With Syndicate of
SWindIers

Another alleged victim of the So
called syndicate of gamblers, wire
tappers and confidence men has ar
rived in Atlanta from a distant state
and has been closeted with the solicit
tor general. He will probably be call
ed before the grand jury to give evil
dence relative to how he was fleeced.
and to furnish a description of the
men who were alleged to have swim
died him out of his money. 1t is also
likely that he will be taken about
the city in an effort to identify the
place where the swindle is alleged
to have been perpetrated.
Mr.. Boykin declines to give the
name and address Of the man as. he
says, it would spoil his plans at the
present time. The man is said to
have lost over $4,000 while in At
lanta on visit. He has volunteered
to assist the solicitor general in the
latter's crusade against the syndi-
cate.
Among the witnesses who were
summoned for appearance before the
grand jury Tuesday morning were
Will Mills. brother of Ed Mills, the
gambler, who is alleged to have been
shot and killed by Floyd Woodward,
at a local hotel two years ago; Cor
don N. Hurtel. clerk Of the record
er's court; Sergeant Connally, Of
the police force, and John Wood and
Steve Solder. It is also understood
that efforts are being made to find
the house detective employed at the
hotel at the time of the shooting of
Mills.
During the day Monday Mr.. Boy
kin was engaged in preparing evil
dence to be presented to the grand
jury and indications are that anoth-
er busy week confronts the inquisi-
torial body. New evidence has been
secured and it is expected that some
sensational exposures will be made
within a few days
Although several vagrancy cases
were on the calendar in the emer-
gency division of the superior Grim
inal court, presided over by Judge
w. E. Thomas. of Valdosta. Monday,
they were not reached and it is ex-
pected they will be called Tuesday.

Low Tobacco Price
Explained by Board

WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.-Low o.
bacco prices are due primarily to
mission says in it's report to con-
gress, giving the result of an inves-
legation ordered by resolution
passed at the last session.
The first cause is attributed to
'1essening of foreign purchases '.ue
to unfavorable exchange rates and
the contraction of domestic credits
resulting in unfavorable financial
conditions'' The second explanation
is that increase of quantity of .ow
grades for domestic absorption due
to crop conditions and failing farm
markets and the. third reason is s.
signed to purchasing methods by
large buyers"
