leaned his weight against the open
door of his emporium.
“There’s Nothin’ to Do."
“Do? There's nothin’ to do.” Then
after a long pause, ‘Do you know of
anything we can do?” There wasn’t
anything, that I could see, and said
so. The dusty street stretched away
to right and left, a broad, red band
that narrowed almost to a ribbon’s
width in the distance, the heat waves
dancing over it producing a moire ef
fect. Fringing the edges were houses
set among the trees. The red band
itself was relieved at irregular inter

cotton.

MORE TAGS SOLD THAN USED.
Nearly 200,COO Ton* of Guano Ifagged
But Not Sold. j
According to the fertilizer jiuiletin
just issued by the department*of agri
culture, under direction of Commis
sioner T. G. Hudson, there were sold
during the fertilizer year, which
closed October 1, 7,135,820 fertilizer
tags, representing 713,520 tons o| fer
tilizer.
According to the report of the fer
tilizer manufacturers In Georgia as
are on file in that office, only 5,188,-
611 tags, representing only 518,801
tons of fertilizer, have been sold for
use by them.
This leaves a discrepancy of 2,000,-
ooo tags, or 200,000 tons of fertilizer,
which have not been sold after being
tagged.
Somebody has paid $20,000 for tags
never used.
This statement is interesting by
reason of the fact that President Har
vie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton
Association, made the charge in the
spring that certain manufacturers
were buying up tags and wasting
them to give the impresssion that
great quantities of fertilizer were be
ing used by the planters. This dls
crepancy is no fault of the state agri
cultural department ,as that office
has only to do with the sale of these
tags and not with what becomes of
them after they are sold. The depart
ment sees that every bag of fertilizer
sold is tagged, but that is all.
Just what has become of the miss
ing $20,000 worth of tags Is a mys
tery.

FREAK IN COTTON FIELD.
Several Acres of 8eedless Cotton in a
Newton County Farm.
Covington, Ga., Oct. 3.—W. B. Liv
ingston, son of Congressman L. F
Livingston and one of the prosperous
planters of West Newton, tells a re
markable story of a peculiar kind of
cotton grown on bis farm this season.
In a large field of cotton, every spot
of which was well fertilized and cul
tivated alike, he has several acres
which will produce a bale of seedless
cotton. The peculiarity, Mr. Living
ston says, can be in no way accounted
for, With the exception of the total
absence of seed, the appearance of
the patch of cotton Is not unlike the
rest of his crop. The yield is about
the same as his other cotton and
there Is apparently no difference In
the staple.
