of this iron ore on exhibit and it
created much interest. A German
Iron man saw It and gave the ore
careful inspection. He pronounced
li the purest magnetic Iron ore he

manufacture of flue cutlery. After
his return home this German wrote

HELP THE
FARMER
, Hon. j. u. Price, member of the
fieorgls Public Service Commission
tells me of a splendid, service be
; s trying to retnder our farmers.
Last Thursday be had sixty rail
roads served with a rule nisi re
quiring them to show cause on
February u why the freight rate
on ralciani arsenate shquld not be
reduced. Mr. Price says that fer
tilizer and ralchim arsenate are
closely identified; since many fer
tilizer dealers are refusing to ex-
■end credit to farmers unless they
nave bought calcium arsenate. The
price of calcium arsenate’has al
ready doubled in Georgia since last
season.
Under existing freight rates the
1 barges for transporting calcium
arsenate are just four times as
much as the roads charge for
hauling fertilizer. Mr. Price- says
V u ‘ ' 1 a great wrong to the cotton
srower who must pay that Increas-
barge, it requires no more
I«'0 to haul a ton of this poison
'nan it does a ton of fertilizer,
i n.-refore he sees no excuse for
requiring the farmer to {lay four
into y the tariff for one essential to
a , s a cotton crop as the other,
.li Prli o says he is satisfied that
members of the commission
, s| e tne justice of his demand
an 1 , issue an order requiring rail-
ads to reduce the freight on cal-
1, arsenate to correspond with

BOCHUM.—(By The Associated

occupied. In coal production. The
Essen district Is producing, 26,-
000,000 tons of coal annually,

thus only 7,000,000 ton* fur the
Industries in the region whose
necessities call for 20,000,000 tons.
By occupying thq Bochum region
with Its 70,000,000 tons produc

lieve they can dlspoae ot all'the
coal necessary to meet the re
parations deliveries, supply the

GERMANS CUT OFF
ALL COAL SUPPLY
BERLIN — (By the Associated

mission has prohibited the coal
owners of the Bohr from supply

drastic action by the French gov
