LET THE COTTON
MILLS GO “HUNGRY’
IS ADVICE OF COMMISSIONER
OF AGRICULTURE TO THE
FARMERS. ,
Atlanta, Oct—Apply the "Hunger
treatment’’ to thee otton mills, la the
advice of Commissioner of Agricul
ture J. J. Brown, to the ootton pro
ducers of Georgia and the South, un
til they are willing to pay a fair price
for thep roduct
"While reasonable market fluctua
tions are to be expected,’’ Commis
sioner Brown says, in a statement just
given to the press, "the recent con
siderable decline Is due solely to ma
nipulation and a meager hand-to-
mouth system of taking by the mill
men. Its just their same old plan;
and It serves to emphasise just now,
the importance of our advice to the
farmer, continually given this fail to
go slow in marketing.
"The demand for products from cot
ton is greater than in many years.
Cotton goods are selling, in some
cases, even higher than alike. Manu
facturers are making money as nev
er before. In driving cptton down,
they arem erely fattening their own
pocket books at the expense of the
farmer. They have got to have cot
ton to meet their contracts, and they
are going to buy it.
These are the facts which should
furnish the basis of action by the
producer. The few who persist in
rushing their cotton to market at any
price, are hurting both themselves and
the many others who, in a gratifying
degree, are holding off the market
They are helping the mills 'defeat the
law of supply and demand.
Talk of government price fixing has
been silenced through the efforts of
the Cotton States Marketing Board.
There is no danger of it now, and the
wise farmer will wait until a reason
able market justifies the offering of
his product to those who need and
must have it
It is quite probable that many fairs
which, were scheduled to have been
held this fall will be called off on ac
count of Spanish influenza. This will
naturally upset thep Ians of many of
Georgia's live stock breeders who have
gone to great expense in preparing
blooded stock to be shown at these
fairs.
In order to overcome, in part at
least, a condition which may serious
ly interfere with the fall sales of ped
igreed stock, to the injury of both
the breeder and buyer, the State Bu
reau of Markets suggests that all
breeders who have stock they desire
to offer, and ail farmers who contem
plate buying breeding stock, list what
they have for sale or what they wish
to buy, with the Market Bureau. This
will enable ail parties to get together
as the State Bureau of Marketa will
be in a position to act as a clearing
house in this emergency.
It is conditions and not the value
of thep roduct itself, that ia just now
affecting the markets for peanuts; and
the State Bureau of Marketa urges
Georgia producers not to ruth theiy
crop to market to the sacrifice of
price. Because they are just now
overcrowded with cotton seed, many
of the oil mills are independent as to
peanuts and are offering prices which
the Bureau believes very much below
their value. ' ,
Attention is called to the fact that
peanuts are just as acceptable to the
Federal Reserve Bank as collateral, as
is cotton. It is not, even necessary
that they should be stored in a' bonded
warehouse, as advances may be ob
tained upon them on the receipt, from
any reputable warehouse.
As the result of information reach
ing the State Department of Agricul
ture, regarding the very extensive de
mand for cotton seed meal. Commis
sioner J. J. Brown suggests that farm
ers in disposing of their seed, do not
lose sight of the importance of con
tracting for their supplies of meal,
needed for stock food or for other
purposes. Cotton seed meal is not
only one of the cheapest of stock
foods at the present prices, but is al
so one of the cheapest of ammomiate
fertilizers. It may be of value for
Georgia farmers to bear these facts
in mind when planning to dispose of
their seed.

To Give Better Protection
To Georgia’s Bank Deposits]
Georgians are offered a method of
fhrowlng stronger safeguards and bet
ter protection around their hank do-
posits, than ever before In the history
pf the state, through one of tbs pro
posed constitutional tamendments to
be voted upon by the people in the
Mmlng November election.
| While the title ot this amendment
r i not Indicate the purpose of It,
ultimate object It ,to provide,
fhrough legislative act, a separata and
MM state department of banking
which aball make thorough and fre
quent examination of the more than
p00 state banka in Georgia, and to
Prevent them from reaching tha dan
ger print
: The entire expanse of this state
department Is to be mat by
banks themselves, through pro
contributions, so It Involves no
ldltional burden upon tbe state.
The title ot this Important consti
tutional amendment la an "Amend-
pent to Paragraph ft Section 2, Arti
cle 6, of the Constitution, fixing the
State Treasurer's salary'sad tbe cler
ical expenses of his offlos.”
Tbs legal necessity for this form
prises from tha fact that tha state
treasurer also holds tha office ot state I
bank examiner; and before anything I
can be done, it Is necessary to author-1
Isa the legislature to act' upon the
points stated, which will then leave It j
tree to create the separata state bask
ing department, so much ueDdqjl by I
Georgia, and through which better pro
tection for the people will be secured. |
Tbe state treasurer does not now bars
sufficient time and office force, to' ex
amine tbe more than 600 state hanks
twice each year, as the law contem
plates; aad now many of these i
Instlnn* are often \ year apart
Tha result la, naturally, that i
banks may reach the danger point be
fore the trouble can be corrected. ..
The tact that there have been so
few bank failures In Georgia, has been
due to care la issuing charters, mea
ts cm tnt by good business man and
the care and attention given them by
the state treasurer in spite >& ms
lack of faculties.
Nevertheless, they are liable to haj
pea in tbe abaanoe of very careful I
frequent Inspection; and that is just
wfiat It la proposed to provide far,
under tbits amendment. It la a law
that will prove of particular value ts
every bank depositor In Georgia.
State Treasurer Burdened
By Heavy Increase Of Work
Although the principal reason for
tha adoption of the proposed constitu
tional amendment, authorising the leg
islature to fix tho salary and office
expenses of tbe state treasurer, is to
open the way for a state department
ot banking, for the protection of Geor
gia bank depositors, there la another
and very important reason for the
ratification of this amendment In the
coming November election.
The state treasurer Is working upon
the same salary and office expenses
as he was forty-one years ago when
tho present constitution was adopted
In 1877, although he now has more
than ten times' the amount of work
he then had to do.
Forty-one years ago Georgia's In-
* (.'i'- from alt sources amounted to
only a few hundred thousands—less
than a million dollars. Today the
itato treasurer must handle—receive
and pay out—between 18,000,000 and
89,000,000. And he is responsible to
Ihe people for every dollar of It.
Because that old constitution stands
In tbe way, the legislature could help
him' only by giving him heavy addi
tional work, putting upon him the ex
amination of Georgia’s state bonks.
This didn’t look like such a-big task
to start with, when Georgia had only
about a hundred banka, bat now, wben
the number has grown beyond 600 and
la still growing, it la a job that’bas
become almost appalling for an offi
cial who has a full year’s work to do,
besides, in handling atate funds.
For this'reason tt la proposed, by
pave the way for relieving the treasu
rer of the banking department, aad
putting It under a Separate official
whose salary end entire office expense
will be paid by tbe banks themselves,
with no expense to the state.
At the sgme time, as already point
ed out, the effect of the establish
ment of such a separate department
of banking, will mean the more fre
quent and more thorough examination
of all state banks then can possibly
be given with the force and facilities
now at the treasurer’s command.
The primary purpose ot the ami
meat which Is endorsed by practloftly
every, bank in Georgia la, thereto]
to strengthen Georgia’s financial sys
tem and, by making bank failures less
liable to occur, to protect the deposits
of men, women and children—In facl
of every person or concern whs- car
ries a bank account.
