GEORGIA FARMERS WILL
FIGHT FERTILIZER TRUST.
RESOLUTIONS ARE BEING ADOPTED PLEDGING A REDUCTION
IN AMOUNT OF FERTILIZER-SOME WILL USE NO
FERTILIZER WHILE OTHERS ONE THIRD AMOUNT
Since the cotton planters have
started in to fight those who profit
b y their wor k they are making a
w h 0 j e war ont ©f the thing at a
jump .
Those who were present at the
farmers meeting here last first
Tuesday will remember the stand
taken by most of the farmers pres
ent. They discussed the fertilizer
business ami resolutions were
adopted pledging that their fertil
zer bills would be cut into half, if
not less.
The. same condition prevails
throughout the Southern states—
the cotton raisers are in to down
the fertilizer business and they
will come mighty close to closing
up some of the establishments.
There is a concerted action in
nearly every county looking to the
curtailment, of the fertilizer bill
for 1905. In some counties, we
note through the newspapers, that
farmers are cancelling their fertil¬
izer orders, some cut their orders
to half while others to a third.
It is the intention of some of
the planters to use cotton seed
where they heretofore used fertil¬
izers, while others will merely use
compost, while others still will
enlightenment and discretion, but
the fault is just as common with
their elders. Who, for intance,
has been so fortunate as not to
know the woman whose whole des
criptive capital was comprised in
the one word “awful.” She never
meets anyone who isn’t “awfully > y
sweet, or “awfully” good, or « « aw
fully’ 1 bad. The storms of heaven
and the pie at dinner are equally
“awful,” and her entire conver¬
sation is one awful assault on her
mother’s longue. Or, it in iy be
“grand” that is the prop and stay
of her vocabulary. The new paint
on her front fence is perfectly
“grand.” The baby is “grand.”
Niagara is “grand.” 4 he comic
actor was just “grand” in that
scene where lie turns a somersault
and sits in the old woman’s lap,
and she caps the climax of her ef¬
forts to make herself agreeable to
you by telling jmu that your new
blouse fits you “just something
grand” in the back. I have often
trembled to think what would hap¬
pen if some catastrophe should oc¬
cur to these words, so that they
would be invalidated for further
use. I am persuaded that in that
event a large proportion of mv
most loquacious sisters w’otild be
smitten with sudden dumbness
and a silence of desolation would
reign over the laud.

dispense entirely with the use of ■
fertilizers. It is contended that
. for years past the lauds have been |
so heavily worked with fertilizers
that they will stand one crop with
out them and it ill be worked *
w
this way.
The farmers along the routes
mentioned contend that they can
wage a successful war against the
fertilizer trust in one year if their
example will be followed by the
other planters all over this section
of the country, but, while they
hope to see that exutuple followed,
they do not intend trying to carry
the organization for this purpose
all over the country. It is stated,
however, that the matter will be
brought up for discussion at the
coming convention of tho cotton
planters to be held on January 24,
25 and 27. They declare that
they have been “buldozed” by the
fertilizer trust as long as they in
tend to and hereafter they intend
to name the terms upon which
fertilizer will be bought and the
amount to be used, and they ex
pect in this way to break the back
bone of the trust in a very short
fight.
