Balanced Farming Was
Urged in Speech Saturday
Hon. E. R. Black Heard by Crowd of
Farmers and Business Men.

Hon. E. R. Black, president OF the
Atlanta Trust Co. and a successful at
torney and business man, spoke at the
court house Saturday morning to a
representative audience OF farmers and
business men. He was introduced by
Judge M. c. Edwards in few appro-
pirate remarks.
The speaker outlined the farm pro-
gram for 1925 as determined upon by
gathering OF farmers, business men
and bankers at a recent meeting i'll
Athens, and urged that it be put into
practice everywhere. He spoke OF it as
balanced farming, and said it would
mean better condition both for the
farmer and the business men.
Mr.. Black devoted much OF his adj
dress to cooperative marketing, which
he declared rs the one opportunity
that has been offered to the farmers
TO free themselves of debt. The old
saving that competition is the life OF
trade" is no longer true, he said, and
cooperation is now the life OF trade
and is practiced in all business except
farming.
Decided interest was manifest II
the speech, and apparently 1t made
deep impression.
A party OF farmers and bushes
men came down from Americas ant
accompanied Mr. Black to that city
where he spoke in the afternoon.
