AND SLOO |“ HUDSON'S VIEWS ON IMMIGRATION 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 ihe year 1891 lpaklng the commissioner of agricul ture ex-officio immigration commis sioner. Pelleting it to. be the duty of every officer to faithfully und fearlessly perform the duties imposed upon him by law, I have tried to ihe best of my ability to conform to what I believed to be my duty as prescribed by tills law. 1 have collected ami arranged in system atic order information as to the min eral, geological, agricultural, horti cultural, timber and fishing resources of the state, and have distributed thorn in various ways throughout the United States nhd foreign countries. Demand for Labor. "The appropriation for carrying on k 1 find to be totally inade- I ha this w quate. to stretch it out and far as possible. Js’c ve endcf nake it to m: offle hr In farmers, d rnu nufactui them prbet on their v help abor Some farmers de sire tenants, but the majority of them desire farm laborers. 1 have done all I could to secure help for them, but on account of limited* means have been unable to do very much for them. 1 have corresponded with ln/- reuus, societies and organizations, 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 our help from those sections. The greflt ad vantage to their favor, It seemed to be, was that they were accustomed to our habits and speak our language. The greatest trouble wo have had to encounter, they consider the low wages offered hero In Georgia, com pared to whai they get for their labor In the east, north and northwest. I find It. Is hard to get thorn to fully realize the great advantage we have to offer them in the way or cleap liv ing, in comparison to what it costs them to live In their sections. After carefully looking over the situation from every standpoint, I am convinced that it will not be possible to get sufficient amount of labor from the sections above mentioned, and that wo must turn our attention to for eign countries. A large per cent of the farm laborers have left the farm and gone to the cl.lea 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 nts 11 cents per po id a fair This man bought a supply of tobacco with out acquainting himself with the distinctive taste of SCHNAPPS Tobacco, which has the cheerihg qualities that gratify his desire to chew, and at less expense than cheap tobacco. SCHNAPPS has been advertised in this paper so that every chewer has had an opportunity to get acquainted with the facts and know that drugs are not used to produce the cheering quality found in the famous Piedmont country flue-cured tobaccos, and that SCHNAPPS is what he ought to chew. Still there are chewers who accept other and cheaper tobaccos ^hat do not give the same pleasure. Some day they’ll get a taste of the real Schnapps—they’ll realize what enjoyment they’ve missed by not getting SCHNAPPS long ago—then they’ll feel like kicking themselves. SCHNAPPS is sold everywhere in 5 cent cuts, and 10 and 15 cent plugs. Be sure you get the genuine. Cures Biliousness, Cick Headache, Sour Stom ach, Torpid Liver and Chronic Constipation.

It was a fovv 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 suffi cient high wages to attract any con siderable number of laborers to the farm- Thu laborer on the farm can live for one-half of what it costs .him to live in the city, yet it is very hard to get him tn realize this. He is rather a:traded by the amount he gets by the month or day than the amount he can lay up by cheap living. The tenant system will come nearer catching the foreigner than 'he 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 ho applies to the cultivation of Ills crops. Of course, the seasons Jjavo a great deal to do with the production of his crops, but. hanks to an all-wise God, he never allows us to have a fam ine in our stnty. If we do our part, we make fairly good crops every year. New Methods Advocated. "T would advise the farmers not to depend entirely upon the immigrants to relieve them of the labor condi tion in Georgia, but insist that t,hey should change their method of farm ing. They should tirst put all the land that they have on the farm which they can not hope to produce crops on at a profit in pasture. To fence this land and do nothing more would he worse .ban folly. FJe should sod It with bermuda and other grasses, nnd thereby make a pasture that would furnish something for his cat tle to graze upon the year round. "Second. He should diversify his crops and Increase heavily the crops that are profitable, yet require so much less labor to grow than cotton. Such crops as corn, peas, hay, sor ghum. truck of all kind. He should also raise his horses and mules. It is needless to argue as to whether this method of farming will pay or not. A great many of our farmers have adopted this plan and they have all prospered. 'Third. He should secure forvhis farm all the Improved machinery nec essary to cultivate his crops. Farm ing with improved machinery is no longer an experinient, but has been demonstrated by hundreds of farmers to bo absolutely .practical. They have long since discarded the old methods of farming in all the states except a few in the South. When the farmers •adopt these improved methods they will not need more than 75 per cent cf the labor now "required to make their crops. Should Exercise Precaution. "We should try to Increase our labor by bringing Into our state a class of sturdy and Industrious laborers. Do not open your gates to the riff-raff of the earth, but «do all you possibly can to bring Ihe honest and industri ous laboring class to our state. I have numerous requests from people living In south Georgia for home-seek ers, stating that they have large tracts of land that nre fertile and suited to all crops grown in opr stale, and that they desire to cut it up in small tracts and sell to parties desir ing homes. We should spare no time nor expense in devising some scheme to furnish to this class of our citizens such people as they desire. Surely no one who will Stop to think will ob ject to the bringing into our state a ' good class of people, who desire to buy land, build homes, and thereby add to our wealth and prosperity. 1 j occasionally run across a man who I says to me, that he does not desire j that the foreigners he brought in and j jjettled upon the uncultivated and \ developed lands of our state, been he is afraid It will bring about an o production of cotton. I hnve inquired j into the customs and habits of those we have already among us on the farm j and find that the foreigner does not I take to cotton growing, but Instead , raises grain, hay, oats, grouudpens, strawberries ami Irish potatoes. In | fact, he grows everything to thf ex clusion of cotton. This is natural, as he has, never been accustomed to the growing of cotton, and does know something of growing other crops, and he soon learns they require so much *less Tabor and nre more remu nerative than growing cotton. It seems to me that instead of a menace, he will fill a long-felt wnnt by grow ing those articles we so mucji need, ami yet have been so hard to get our native people to grow. Factory Labor Scarce. “Labor In the factories Is also scarce. 1 find, after carefully inquir ing into the mill situation, they have nnd to let a; least one-Tenth of their spindles remain idle on account of their being unable to secure suffi cient labor to operate them. The mill operators are dependent upon the whites of our state Tor their labor, and they have not been able to secure a sufficiency in t!ie state to keep their spindles going, and are prevented by the federal laws from going into lor- cign countries to obtain them. Geor gia, through its representatives, can | secure his help. What will you do j about it'.' ( 1 -ay, go and get It. Some ! ot our good friends say, "Are you not \ fbfrald of these people coming to your • stale and sowing seed of discord i among the laborers we have already with us?" My friends, in the East! j they have hauled our raw cotton hun dreds of miles to ;he1r mills and with | this labor we are now seeking to ob- | ! tain ‘have grown rich, and every in- j ' terest In their section is in a prosper- i ions condition. Why should not the 1 | mills in the center of the cotton Helds t with This same labor, become even j more prosperous than they, and as j the mills •become prosperous so docs every other Interest in cur state be- i come prosprous?"
