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 Ahem. This is a new plan in politics, ] ..i»- 4 . <sF.vr?t ,-<■ ■■;-J r?'> £ W§£ifm ilti *■*■'*■ &&&&£ ~j.Lfc.siß J. D. PRICE, 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.” NEW FOREST DOTS A cool day and night or two and then some more hot weather to pick cotton.
