tice of running ie cars through those
counties that were producing poultry in
sufficient quantities for the market. It
was necessary for an employee of the Bu-

reau of Markets to travel in that car from

point to point and receive poultry at dif-
ferent places and accompany them to their
destination. You can imagine what kind
of job this wasliving and riding in a
freight car two or three days with no com-
chickens! Nevertheless,
these poultry cars gave enough encourage-
ment to the production of poultry that
our present poultry industry can be tr aced
back to that ele. if. inefficient, prac-
tice.
TRUCK AND VEGETABLE CROPS
While all this was going on, numer-
ous farmers began to grow truck crops
and vegetables. Since there was no local

market, it was necessary to ship these on ~
consignment to brokers and dealers in the

cities, Oft-times, the returns from con-

-signments of truck and produce were not

enough to pay the freight. Many farms
were sold for debts. Many families left
the farm and went to seek their fortunes
in town. They thought it could not be
any worse in town than it was where
they were.

LIVESTOCK AUCTION BARNS

Because of the farmers carrying their
livestock to town on certain days, the
idea of having an auction sale barn at the
county seat began to take form. From
year to year these local sales barns were
erected until they are now, on an aver-
age, more than one barn for each two
counties in the state. Most of the present
barns were built in that era. Money was
tight.. The future of the venture was_un-
certain and the men who built and oper-
atd the barns were inexperienced. Nat-
urally most of those barns were built on
a very cheap scale and are inadequate for
handling, in a sanitary manner, the great
volume of livestock now being produced
on Georgia farms. Nevertheless, they
have performed a great service, and with
modern improvement. in some cases and

with new barns in other cases, they could :

be made adequate for the handling of
livestock without too much dahger of
spreading infectious, communicable and
contagious diseases.

MARKETS FOR VEGETABLE
AND: TRUCK CROPS
Out of these conditions surrounding
the row crop farmer in the twenties, came

the idea of markets for truck crops and



vegetables, In 1935 the Legislature en-



acted a bill authorizing the construction

~and operation of markets for farm pro- _
No appropriation was made for

duce.
the purpose, but at least the authority was

ereated and lodged in the Commissioner

of Agriculture. The first State Market in









Fahd

Atlanta was built during the fall and wim-

ter of 1935 and was opened on February ~
10, 1936, with about three inches of snow
covering everything, It was an unauspic-
ious beginning. The land had been leased _

for five years because no money had been |

appropriated to pay for it. The land was
located just across the street from the
present municipal auditorium in Atlanta
between Washington Street viaduct and
Piedmont Ave. The old buildings which
were unsafe were torn down. The land
was graded off and hard-surfaced by the
City of Atlanta and the Commissioners

of Fulton County. New buildings out of

the old brick were erected and are still
standing, and the cost was paid by cok

lecting five years rent in advance on tha

buildings, and using that rent money te
pay for the work. The sheds were pure

chased on credit and the market was open-

ed on February 10, 1936.
Business on the market continued a





grow from the beginning. The sales the

first year amounted to approximately
$500,000.00.

In September 1936 the political ava-

lanche swept over Georgia burying every
thing before it whose name did not start
with an R.
start with an R, during the next four

years the market operated under differ-
ent management and the leases on the

property ran out without the option to
buy being exercised, Nevertheless, the
Atlanta Market proved so essential and
was so highly patronized by farmers and.
truckers, that fees collected on the Mar-
ket during those four years and paid inte
the State Treasury amounted to almost
twice the total cost of the Market.
January 1, 1941, having been elected
again to the office of Commissioner of
Agriculture, I was able, because of the
splendid showing of the first market, te
interest Governor Eugene Talmadge, who
also came back into office at that time, im

van Road and Murphy Avenue, The new
market was opened in May 1941 and the

During 1935 and 1936, without any
appropriation and with . the aid and co-
operation of local citizens and officials,

been built in each of these fine cities. In
1944, the Commissioner of Agriculture
advanced a ten-year program for agricul-
ture which included farmers markets at
Columbus, Rome, Augusta and Savannah.
In less than the ten years all of these have
