BY RAISING OWN FOODSTUFF
SAYS THE DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE.
DIVERSIFIED CROPS NEEDED
People Send Away for Mcre Than
They Raise, Accerding to Experts.
Big Sum Spent Each Year.
—Atlanta.
Over one hundred millions of dol
lars are annually expended by Geor
gia farmers for corn, hay, oats and
other feedstuffs, which can be raised
in this state, according to figures
compiled by the department of agri
culture,
That vast sum of money goes out
of the state each year for food prod
ucts. And, as the records show, the
amount purchased is greatly in excess
of that which is raised in the state.
Every effort is being made by the ag
ricultural department to encourage
the farmers to raise their own sup
plies. Diversified agriculture is be
ing constantly recommended and it is
pointed out to the farmers that there
is no necessity for them to buy a
single dollar's worth of these foed
stuffs, but on the other hand they
should be in position to sell great
quantities.
It is estimated that owing to the
bad crop ccndiidions, due to unfavora
ble seasons and weather, Georgia will
ihis year send outside of the gtate
for about the same auantitiy of food
stuff as it did in 1910. In that year
the farmers bought 1,184,000 tons of
hay, which, at the wholesale price of
52 per ton, cost $23,680,000; &3,000,000
bushels of corn, wholesale price 71
cents per bushel of total cost $58,930 -
000; 89,000,000 bushels of oats, whole
sale price 44 cents per bushel, aggre
gate cost $39,336,000; 85,000 tons of
feedstuff, at $3O per ton, $2,550 000.
In 1910 the sum of $124,496.000 was
expended for these products. During
the same year the farmers of the
state raised 59,072,000 bushels of corn.
117,000 tons of hay, and 6,650,000° bush
ols of oats.
Many Users of Drugs.
“Thousands of persons in Georgia,
men and women in all stratas of so
ciety are habitual users of one or
more of the sleep-producing drugs.
The extent of this evil is alarming
and a public awakening as well as
more rigid laws are needed lo curb
it,” declared State Drug Inspector Dr.
T. A. Cheatham.
Doctor Cheatham, who was discuss
ing the efforts of Charles B. Towns,
a New York magazine writer, to or
~anize a ‘national movement Aagainst
the indiscriminate sale and use of
narcotics, and who is to be one of
the representatives of Georgia in this
movement, estimated that between
25,000 and 50,000 ounces of morphine
are annually used in this state. lln
fact. records gathered by him show
this to be a conservative estimate. He
states that in addition to the large
quantity of ounces of cocaine, codein
and similar drugs are used.
“Five years ago Georgia passed a
law directed against the illegal sale
of narcotics,” said Doctor Cheatham,
“and the result has been very gratify
ing, but if we are to effectively check
‘he evil we must go farther. Public
sentiment must be aroused and more
rigid laws enacted.”
Statistics compiled by Doctor Cheat
ham show that during the past two
vears there has been an increase of
15 per cent. in the amount of mor
phine sold in Georgia, while the sale
of cocaine, a much more harmful drug,
has decreased in like ratio.
During the past four years the sale
of bromides has dropped off to almost
nothing. Raw opium is not in the
same demand, the drug users prefer
ring the opium alkaloids, such as
morphine and cocaine. Since the en
actment of the narcotic law the use
of laudanum as a stimulant has about
heen discarded. Before this law was
passed laudanum was a staple article
of sale in almost every general mer
chandise store in the state.
Fighting for Poles
In obtaining frggmn Superior Judge
Pendleton a temp??ary order restrain
ing the lessees of -the Georgia Rail
road from removing poles and wires
from along the railroad’s right-of-way,
the Western Union Telegraph Compa
ny reopened condemnation cases af
fecting several Georgia railroads. On
juits brought by the Georgia road and
the Western and Atlantic railroad to
stay the telegraph company's con
demnation proceedings recently, the
supreme court decided that a railroad
had .a prior claim over its right-of
way and the Western Union could
condemn only such property as had
10t been designated by the railroad
‘or specific purposes.
Attempt to Evade the Law
Information has come to the state
insurance department to the effect
that foreign insurance companies, not
quthorized to do business in Georgia,
are attempting to evade the new in
surance law by conducting a mail
order business.
While the state is powerless to
move against the insurance company,
Assistant Commissioner Copeland
says that any person accepting the
premiums is guilty of rebating under
the new insurance law. Any physi
cian who makes an examination is
liable to prosecution. |
