By Atlanta Banker

before a large audience of agricul-
tural agents, business men and farm
ers from all sections Of the state

not return to Georgia until land
values are re-establshed, that that

which means that cotton and other
products must be marketed through
cooperative associations.
Mr.. Black recounted the history
and sound growth. OF the Georgia
Cotton Growers COOPERATIVE asso-
citation and pointed out that while
New York bankers had offered to
finance the cotton cooperative to
the extent of more than $4,000, 900,
not one cent had been necessary be-
cause Georgia bankers were doing
the job, due to the fact that the
business men are waking up to the
fact that they must help aGricul-
ture if they are to prosper. The
mas, it is true, the partial support of
the business men, but, it deserves the
support and cooperation Of all bust
ness men.
Country banks can continue to ex-
pect collections to be poor until they
have backed the farmer in this sound
business movement to put farming
on a business basis, he said.
1.-The farmer has been consistently
robbed" was one of the reasons
given by the speaker fer the fact
that he IS now working with success
to sell his products comparatively
and profitably for himself and those
with whom he does business. Mr..
Black stated that the cotton coop
erative under the leadership of Pres
ident J. g. Conwell has the support
and help of the Atlanta banks, and
further, that it deserves the support
Of all the banks of the state. His
