AGRICULTURHUEPT
Kot Expense to Georgia mt Has Paid
$760,000.
lITO OUR STATE TREASURY
Fertiliser Tax of Fifty Cents p*r ton—Cherni
es! Department and its Work—Oil
Inspection.
Question.—l am a farmer, and like
thousands of others, feel interested in
the work of the Department of Agri
culture. In your monthly answers to
Questions give ms some information on
this subject Is the department an •ex
pense or a source of revenue to the
state? This is not strictly an agricult
ural question. bat it is strictly business,
and cue farmers waut information on it.
Answer I.—Answering your specific
question first, the State Agricultural
Department, so far from being an ex
pense to the state, has paid into the
treasury, for the benefit of the school
fund, something like $730,000. At first
the inspection fee was 50 cents a ton.
The fertilizer business had not reached
its present magnitude, and it was
thought that 50 cents a ton would about
pay the expenses of mining the depart
ment. The idea of a revenue from this
•ource was not then thought of. But
the sale of fertiirzers increased very
rapidly, and the inspection fee was con
sequently reduced to 10 cents, an
amount so small that the seller cannot
claim any additional price for the fertil
izers and yet it protects the consumer,
and in the aggregate the department
puts into the treasury a clear annual
profit. That is after every expense,
Inspector’s salaries, Inspector’s expen
ses, tags, bottles, express charges, pub
lications, salaries of commissioner, his
clerks, state chemist and two assistants,
have all been paid, the state is a gainer
by between $20,000 and $30,000 each
year. This result has been accom
plished by the exercise of the utmost
care and economy in the management
of the affairs of the department. The
business of the office has increased tre
mendously since 1890, when the present
commissioner took charge.
2. The work of the chemical depart
ment has more than doubled. In 1882-
90 there were 538 analyses; in 1895-97
1,058 analyses, and the number of brands
increased from 440 to 1,178. One of the
first changes made by the pres -nt com
. mtssioner was to bring the chemical de
partment to Atlanta. The laboratory is
now in the capitol and all the analyses
are conducted there.
8. Inspecting is no longer done in bulk
at the factories. The system of inspecting
inaugurated by the present commissioner
is the best of any state in the Union,
although the inspection fee of 10 cents
is the smallest of any state. Inspectors
are forbidden to take samples until after
the fertilizers leave the factories. They
get their samples from farmers’ wagons,
on the cars, in the merchants* ware
houses, etc., but always after the goods
have left the hands of the manufactur
ers and are on sale. By this method
the entire state is carefully covexed, and
it is an extremely difficult matter io sell
spurious goods in Georgia. But for this
careful and thorough inspection the
state would be flooded 'with worthlees
fertilizers and the farmers suffer in con
sequence.
4. Another .reform inaugurated by the
present commissioner was the reduction
of the annual pay of fertilizer inspec
tors from $1,500 to SI,OOO each, and in
stead of keeping a large force on duty
all the time, only four are appointed for
the full time, the others are employed
duriki<? the busy season, and when the
pressure is removed they are discharged.
Thus, though the sale of fertilizers and
the consequent work of the inspectors
have both increased tremendously, the
cost is about the same, aud until the
unprecedented sales of fertilizers the
past season, the cost of inspecting was
actually less than formally.
5. Under, the present administration
of the departr -mt. the pay of the oil in
spectors has been so reduced that
wh< reus formerly the state did not re
ceive one cent from this source the pres
en t. commissioner has been able to put

$85,000 into th* treasury after all ex
penses have been paid.
7. Although the office work of the
department has doubled and trebled
since the present commissioner took
charge, the office expenses are several
hundred dollars less each year now than
theu. The increased work is done by
the same number of clerks, three, and
their combined salaries have been re
duced from $4,500 to $3,720, an annual
reduction of S7BO in clerk hire. Until
last year the saving in clerk hire was
over SI,OOO each year, but owing to in
creased work aud responsibility the sal
aries of two of the clerks were raised.
6 Besides the “Monthly Talks and
Answers to Questions,” which are pub
lished by the weekly press through
out the state, the commissioner has
prepared and issued thousands of
pamphlets and books, giving informa
tion as to the resources of Georgia.
These books and pamphlets have been
sent throughout the north and west,
brit so great has been the demand for
them that it has been impossible to
fully meet it. • •
7. In the matter of bnying tags the
commissioner has been hampered by
the fact that the state printer claimed
this as one of his perquisite.*, and in
this he was sustained by the printing
committee. Notwithstandsug thia fact,
the commissioner demanded a reduc
tion in the price aud succeeded in re
ducing it from $2.00 to $1.60 per 1,000.
Finally he appealed to the attorney
general and was advised that he could
make the purchase wherever he pleased.
Proceeding ou this authority he entered
into negotiations for obtaining tne tags
cheaper, aud then advertised for sealed
bids. The first firm which received the
Contract failed to comply with the terms,
so also the second, and after a third ad
vertising for bids the contract was
finally awarded to the Denison Manu
facturing company, at 45 cents per 1,000.

VEXED CONVICT QUESTION.
Governor to >end Out Advnnce Sheets of
His -MsMSft 011 the Hubjeet.
Atlanta, Oot. B.—-In order that the
members of the legislature may have
all the light possible before them before
making up their minds on the peniten
tiary problem. Governor Atkinson will
have advance sheets of his message on
the convict questiou printed and sent
out to each member.
To all intents aud purpose* the con
vict question is now up for settlement.
The members of the legislature are
probably giving it more hard thought
than they will after they come to the
capital to attend the session, aud for
this reason the governor thinks it is
proper that he should furnish the mem
bers with the views which will be em
bodied in his annual message.
Governor Atkinson is of the opinion
that the plan which has been prepared
by Principal Keeper Turner and him
self, aud embodied in substance iu\the
bill of Mr. Hewlett, is not fully com
prehended. He discusses this plan ex
haustively in his message, and thinks
the perusal of this will enable all to un
derstand the plan in all its details.
One of the points upon which there
appears to be some misapprehension is in
regard to the establishment of a central
penitentiary. It is not contemplated
by the Hall bill that this penitentiary
-shall be built at once, and that the state
is to take immediate or even ultimate
charge of all the ablebodied convicts.
The plan is to lease out the labor of
the ablebodied men, or part of them,
and make gradual preparations to take
charge of them in the event that their
labor cannot be advantageously hired
outside of prison walls. Virginia is now
working her convicts inside of walls to
advantage, the convict class there be
ing about what it is here, and the gov
ernor believes that Georgia, by using
conservative means to bring about the
change, can do the work.

Raleigh, Oct. B.—Otho Wilson, Pop

party and once devoted ally of Senator
Butler, is now at daggers’ points with
‘the latter aud also with Governor Rus
sell for their attempt to suspend him as
commissioner. He issued the first copy
of his paper, The Hayseeder, which is
for the one purnose of making things
uncomfortable for the senator and gov
ernor. Thousands of copies are being
sent broadcast.
In his editorials Wilson says he des
pises bossism, whether Russellism or
Butierism; that his paper, uniike Sen
ator Butter, has no subsidy from the
state printing and publishing officers;
that he intends to hold his office by law
and does not use it for political pur
poses at the dictation ot' Bussed or But
ler.
He attacks Russell in the plainest
terms, saying he never expressed him

of the lease of the North Carolina rail
way, regulation of freight and passeu
per fares aud taxing corporations.
