HUDSON’S VIEWS
Says We Cannot Get Sufficient
_ Amount of Labor
—,
FROM THE NORTH AND WEST
After Carefully Considering the situ
ation, He Declares that We Must
Turn Our Attention to Foreign
Countries for Laborers.
Atlanta, Ga., March 24th, 1907.
Extracts from a Recent Speech Made
by T. G. Hudson, Commissioner of
Agriculture.
“The legislature, realizing the Im
portance of advertising her resources
and encouraging immigrants into our
state, passed an act in the year 1894
making the commissioner of agricul
ture ex-officio Immigration commis
sioner. Believing It to be the
duty of every officer to faithfully
j and fearlessly perform the duties
imposed upon him by law, I
have tried to the best of my ability
to conform to what I believed to be
my duty as prescribed by this law. I
have collected and arranged in system
atic order information as to the min
eral, geological, agricultural, horti
cultural, timber and Ashing resources
of the state, and have distributed
! them In various ways throughout the
I United States and foreign countries.
“The appropriation for carrying on
1 this work 1 And to be totally laade
| quate. However, I cave endeavored
j to stretch it out and make it go as
j far as possible. Nearly every mail
| j to my office brings requests from and
farmers, dairymen, fruit growers
I manufacturers, urging me to help
j them procure labor necessary to carry de
i on their work. Some farmers
j sire tenants, but the majority of them
i desire farm laborers. I have done ail
i coul I to secure help for them, hut
I on account of limited means have
! been unable to do very much
j ! them. societies I have corresponded and organizations, with bu-
1 reaus,
having for their purposes the sending,
| in and furnishing to different states
) ! desirable immigrants. My efforts have
mainly been directed to the east,
north and northwest, believing that
| if possible, we should get onr
from those sections. The great ad
vantage to their favor, it seemed to
be, was that they were accustomed
our habits and speak cur language.
'1 he greatest trouble we have had to
encounter, they consider the low
wages offered here in Georgia, com
i pared to what they get for their labor
in the east north and northwest. I
find it is hard to get them to fully
reallze the great advantage we have!
to offer them in the way of cleap llv
| j Ing, in comparison In their to sections. wha: it After costs
them to live
1 carefully looking over the situation
I from every standpoint, I am convinced |
I that it will not be possible to getj
! sufficient amount of labor from the
j sections above mentioned, and that
\ we must turn our attention to for
e'gn countries, A large per cent of
the farm laborers have left the farm
and gone to the cities and public
works, where wages are much higher.
than the farmers are able to pay.
Cotton Too Cheap.
"A great many people seem to think
10 cents or 11 cents per pound a fair
price for cotton. It was a few years
ago, but it is not now. Everything
that enters into the production of cot- ,
ton is increased from 100 to 200 per
cent in Price. The farmers, there
fore, will not be able to offer suffl
cient high wages to attract any con
siderable number of laborers to the
farm. The laborer on the farm can
live for one-half of what ft costs him
to live in the city, yet It is very hard
to get him to realize this. He is
rather attracted by the amount he
gets by the month or day than the
amount he can lay up by cheap living.
The tenant system witl come nearer
catching the foreigner than the wage
system. The amount he realizes for
his wages under the tenant or crop
per system depends entirely upon the
amount of skill, energy and science he
.
a P p!les to 1116 cultivation of his crops.
Of course, the seasons have a great
deal to do with the production of his
crops, but, thanks to an all-wise God,
he never allows us to have a fam -1
ine in our state. If we do our (part, j
we make fairly good crops every year, j
New Methods Advocated.
I would advise the farmers not to!
depend entirely upon the immigrants I
to re teve them of the labor condi
tion in Georgia, but Insist that they
should change their method of farm

“Second. He should diversify
crops and increase heavily the

much less labor to grow than cotton,
Such crops as corn, peas, hay, sor

have numerous requests from people
living in south Georgia for home-seek

tracts of land that are fertile and
suited to all crops grown In our state,
and that they desire to cut it up In

nor expense in devising some scheme

Factory Labor Scarce.
"Labor in the factories is also
scarce. I find, after carefully inquir
ing Into the mill situation, they have
nad to let at least one-tenth of their
spindles remain idle on account of i
their being unable to secure suffi-j mill!
ctent labor to operate them. The
operators are dependent upon the]
whites of onr state for their labor,!
and they have not been able to secure!
a sufficiency In the state to keep their:

the federal laws from going Into tori
