Air. O. 15. Stephens, Commis¬
sioner of Agriculture, in a letter
published in The Atlanta Consti¬
tution, of January 31, makes the
statement that tin* force of State
chemists, working the entire year
could not analize more than three
thousand samples of fertilizers,
This being the case, the public
would like to know why J/r. StcQ
pbensshould have rqipointed dur- j
ing bis first- year in office between
forty and fifty fertilizer inspectors
when twelve or livteen men could
easily have taken the three tboiis
a»J samples that the chemists
bould analyzed
Mr. Stephens did not appoint
to fifty fertilizer mspec-
then the people Jot Georgia

that Mr. Stephens turned into the ,
State treasury from the inspection
of fertilizers a little more than
^d tirto net while his predecessor in
1898 tinned irtlo the treasury near-1

in a sentence taken from the ad-

(.'ugion, O. B. Stephens, (fommis-
8 i (m er of Agriculture in Georgia:
“1 think there is no doubt tiiat

Nubility which years ago had no
existence. The condition of bank¬
ruptcy and demoralization into
which J/r. Stevens describes the
farmers as drifting years ago, due
not to sterility <>i soil or unfavora¬
ble climate or lack of labor, but to
the habitual persistence in planting
cotton only, has gone never to re¬
turn.
We feel sure that some of
haters of trusts in Georgia
bear with Me. Stephens when he
warns his neighbor -, that an 8,000.
000-bale cotton crop at 9 cents a
pound will be better Bum a 9,000,
000-bulo e-rop at 7 cents a jK»nnd
such as is ascribed to the cott-on
year of 1899-1900. Then 'ore J/r
Stephens advises the sowing of
less cotton lands and the planting
of more garden truck. .Males,
ploughs, corn forage and
