What Jim Price Has Done
For The Farmers Of Georgia
Commissioner of Agriculture J. B.
Price submits his candidacy to the
voters of Georgia, upon his record of
service in making the department an
institution of positive value and help
fulness to the farmers of this state.
Commissioner Price has not only
given his time and earnest attention
to the well reoognized duties devolv
ing upon the department, but he has
done other things for the benefit of
Georgia farmers and at a saving to the
state, not attempted by his predeces
sors.
He introduced the plan of furnish
ing to Georgia farmers nitrogen bac
ia for their leguminous crops at
-5 cents per acre, or actual cost,
•..' re private concerns were charging
•12 or more for the same product.
iie has had taken for analysis more
" i •me’’ samples of fertilizers, direc t
m the barn of the consumer, than
other commissioner, thereby as
. niiig protection to the individual.
t-i has had taken and analyzed
re re samples of fertilizers at a less
>t to the state than his predecessor,
'iie actual office records show that
tii ■ cost per sample under his prede
c ssor was $2.88, and in his first
term immediately following it was only
I-MO, an actual saving to the state of
4S cents on each sample.
Adheres Strictly To The Law
He has rigidly enforced the pure
food and pure feed laws at all
times to the advantage of the farm
ers and the consumers of Georgia.
He has gone further than any other
commissioner ever attempted in the
effort to provide markets for food
crops. The records will clearly show
this.
He has disseminated more and more
accurate crop reports and has supplied
the farmers of Georgia with all avail
able information of value to them.
He has kept in personal touch with
the farmers of Georgia insofar a* the
duties of the office would permit, has
absolutely adhered to the laws of the
state, and yet has shown the fanners i
of Georgia as many of them have nev- ;
er known before, that THERE IS AN
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT IN j
GEORGIA.
Recently there appeared in the At
lanta papers an advertisement that
said this:
“Everyone dissatisfied with the
present administration of the
state agricultural department,
please communicate with J. J. j
Brown campaign headquarters.”
“It. will be seen from this,” said i
Commissioner Price, “that my oppon
ent is hard put to it to find anything ;
against me, since he has haa to ad- j
vertise for complaints in order to find i

Commissioner Of Agriculture.
! but whatever he finds he is certainly
! welcome to.
That Travel Expense
“My opponent seeks to make a point
of the fact that the travel expenses of
the department for two years were
$32,120.83. I have a letter from the
legislative committee which investi
gated the auditor’s report, showing
that this amount covers all the usual
expenses provided for by law, that it
is a regular expense under every ad
ministration of the department, and
that it includes the cost of travel, ho
tel bills, purchase of aamples for
analysis, bottles and express charges,
! for 74 employes and attaches of the
department. This is a small average
of $18.09 per month per man.
“In criticising expense accounts he
does not tell you that he made trips
to his home near Elberten at the ex
pense of the state, and also to his
j farm at Baxley, which the records
! show, and that he rode in chair cars
at the state’s expense, a thing [ never
did in my life, because 1 always want
to get with the people.
‘Referring to the fertilizer and oil
inspectors, my opponent says the de
partment has a political machine.’ It
is the same ‘machine’ that was here
when he was assistant to Mr. Conner.
I have never made a single appoint
ment that wa net authoriz 'd and re
quired by law But bet rre talking
about political machines, he should
tell the farmers and people of this
state why Mr. Conner and he carried
blank commissions to Macon, and of
fered them in the effort me
out of the office of commissioner of
, agriculture.”
