They were totally un- d for the ravages of this pest, not- 1ding they had been told for twen- is that it was on the way. the fall of 1918 the boll weevil the Altamaha River. In 1919 the crop was practically wiped out m counties. In 1920 the damage was as great. In 1921 numbers of ners in middle south Georgia did not any cotton and many others dras- educed their cotton acreage. y this time the weevil had practic- overed the cotton belt of Georgia. ice of cotton had gne down from its to 8 and 10 cents and then start- ng somewhat, but the farmers yf cotton had been so drastically re- EO TRG RO OI I a EP a a my money.

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 the erection of the present market at Syl- van Road and Murphy Avenue, The new market was opened in May 1941 and the * entire corps of merchants and dealers on Since my name did not the old market were moved enmasse to the new location. The sales on the bew market in 1941, the first year, amounted to appr oximately 6 million dollars, and is create on page 4) et | GEORGIA MARKET BULLET!

During 1935 and 1936, without any appropriation and with . the aid and co- operation of local citizens and officials, the markets at Thomasville; Macon, Val- dosta and Glennville were established. Since then land has been acquired by the state and handsome new markets have 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 "GEORGIA S FARMERS M In addition to all of these, we have. acquired the land and erected modern markets at Moultrie, Camilla, Pelham, Adel, Tifton, Cordele, Nashville, Hazle- hurst, Jesup, Vidalia, Toccoa, Athens, Thomson, Waynesboro, Sylvania, Dillard,- Leesburg and Donalsonville.
