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.

The condition of bank¬ ruptcy and demoralization into which J/r.

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.
