Failure, of Tag Increase
- Dill Deplored. ’ !
Many expressions of regret, and
disapproval of the action of the sen
ate In declining to agree to the raise
of the tag tax on fertilizers from 10
of the tag tax have been heard In Am
ericus. The proceeds from
those tag sales go to the agricultural
schools, hence the Third district
school would have been greatly bene-
fitted by the additional revenue, which
Is badly needed to meet the require
ments of the college.
Some of those who discussed the
matter had not lost hope that another
bill, drawn on different lines, and
providing a smaller increase In tag
tax, would yet be passed. Until the
legislature adjourns these gentlemen
will not give up hope.
Another sentiment expressed was
That the present sum available for
the agricultural college might be sup
plemented, and thus the Third dis
trict school be kept open. It was uni
versally recognized that the closing
of the school would be a public
calamity which should be avoided if
possible. The large sums already
contributed have been a big drain on
the city and county, and the failure
of the senate to mantaln the schools
properly will he strongly resented
here.
Sees Chance to Keep Ope n
Among those who made the opening
of the Third Distrlct'AgricuItural Col
lege possible, no one did more than
Mr. Crawford Wheatley. He, as
member of the Legislature, had been
active in behalf of the plan, and when
it looked like the opening of the
school was somewhat uncertain last
winter, he put his shoulder to the
wheel, and with Mr. W. P. Wallis,
raised the funds necessary to get the
institution started off.
Though not a member of the board
of trustees, Mr. Wheatley has A deep
interest ip the success o f the school.
In an interview yesterday Mr. Wheat-
ley stated that he thought the Third
district school should open this fall
on scheduled time, and continue
throughout the year. While he did
not see any chance for the expansion
and the new dormitory desired. he
thought that nearly a hundred stu
dents can be cared for and educated
the coming session , in spite of the
failure of the Senate to authorize the
increase in fertilizer tag tax.
“I see no good reason why the
school should open this fall,” said
Mr. Wheatley yesterday. “The law
creating the agricultural colleges
provides that the school in each dis
trict shall have the revenue from fer
tilizer tags, oil inspection and pure
food receipts. This amounted to a
respectable sum during the last ses
sion, just how much I do not know.
Farm Yield Will Help
“This district is a large consumer
of fertilizers and will get a much
larger revenue from that source than
some, districts. By the practice of
economy, the school can, in my opin
ion, get along in some shape. The
dining room and household expenses
are paid by the students themselves.
This year they will have the benefit
of half of the crop raised by them
on the 200 tillable land provided by
Sumter county and Americus. Be
sides this, each boy was allotted an
acre of ground to raise whatever he
pleased on, and this will be his In its
entirety.
Nucleus Still Remains
•While the hill which was bo much
desired by friends of the schools did
not pass, the old law is still In force,
and several thousand dollars will be
available for the use of the Third Dis
trict College to pay salaries of teach
ers. This will be a great help.
"Under the originul bill It Is pro
vided that n county donating 200
acres shall have compiled with the
provisions, but Sumter and Americus
added another hundred acres. This
land is mostly In the city limits and
was valued at $12,000, while Its real
worth Is much more. Besides this,
$40,000 in cash was donated to have
the school located here.
“Some of the counties have con
tributed even more largely, and the
state has been enriched by more than
$800,000 by means of these colleges.
Tax I’uld By Companies
“After the colleges were launched,
Gov. Smith, recognizing' that the
scheme had developed In an amazing
manner, and that larger sums were
necessary to maintain the schools on
the higher, plane desired, recommend
ed the Increase in fertilizer tags from
10 to 25 cents. This tax is borne
by the manufacturers of fertilizers.
This is proven by the fact that Ala
bama, with A tax of 35 cents, buys fer
tilizer tor exactly the price which pre
vails In Georgia, where the tax Is on
ly 10 cents per ton.
“Though the Colleges feel parUcvl-
Would Greatly Increase Ex
pense, They Say.
The railroads of the State are up
In arms against the efforts of the
General Assembly to Impose upon
them the requirement that they equip
all engines used In traffic on their
main lines with electric headlights.
This bill, the passage of which has
been strongly advocated by the' Bro
therhood of Locomotive Engineers,,
will come up for final action In the
Senate this week, having already
passed the House,
Based upon the objections of the
railroads the Senate committee gave
it an unfavorable report, but the
Senate disagreed to that report and
put it on the calendar for action.
There are approximately 800 loco
motives in Georgia which are used
in main line traffic, and to equip
each of these with an electric head
light railroad men say. would cost
$175,000 to $200,000. This they
gard as an unnecessary and burden
some expense. In addition to first
cost they say the Increased cost of
maintenance will be about $130,000 a
year.
In addition to the heavy expense
the railroads insist that these head
lights are objectionable.
They have been tried and abandon
ed by many railroads, they state, be
cause It Is claimed the extremely
bright light penetrates the thin coat-
ng of red on the signal lights^ and
makes them appear white. The en
gineers, on the other hand, claim
the electric headlight aids their vis
ion, and state they will result In
great saving to life and property.
On a straight track the light
makes objects visible for more than
half a mile.

PLANT TIMBER OS
POOR FARM LANDS
(Forest Service Bulletin.)
In every state of the Union there
are many tracts of so-called agricul
tural land, which, owing to their hilly
character, poor soil, or numerous
boulders, are not suitable for farming.
The owners of such tracts are often
at a loss, to know what to do with'
them.
Without question, the. best ^uso to
which land of this kind can be put Is
to plant trees. One of the fundamen
tal principles of forest economics is,
that soil which is not good enough to
make the growing of cereal crops
profitable should be devoted to the
production of wood crops. This does
not mean that trees grow better
poor soil than on fertile soil. They
will, of course, grow better on fertile
soil. But, In proportion to the money
Invested, better returns are secured
from trees planted on the less valua
ble land.
• Most of the cone-bearing trees, and
many hardwoods as well will thrive
in soil of medium fertility. All trees,
however, do not thrive on poor, sandy
ridges, or on hillsides where the soil
is thin. Black walnut, hardy catalpa
and white oak, for their best develop
ment, require a deep, fertile soil, well
watered and well drained, and It is
not advisable to plant them where
these requirements are not met.
An Ohio farmer is solving the
problem of what to do with the worn
out farm. He owns and old homestead
of sixty acres, which he Is desirous of
keeping In the family. He does not
live on the place, however, and
farming has been a losing proposi
tion. He has, therefore, decided to
plant the entire tract with trees. He
has already planted 35,000 Norway
spruce, set three and one-half feet
apart each way.-on an area of about
eleven ncres. ■- These trees will bo
cut, as th4y become largo enough, for
Christmas trees.
Chestnut seedlings will be planted
in the spaces left by the removal of
the spruce, and It Is expected that they
11 begin to come In bearing when
the Inst spruce Is cut In addition to
the spruce, hardy catalpa, black lo
cust, elm, boxelder, and sycamore have
been planted. It Is planned to put
the entire sixty acres In forest within
five or six years. The owner Is wise
In - planting several kinds of trees
instead of confining himself to one
species. His forest will he producing
six or seven kinds of lumber, chest
nuts, and Christmas trees, at the
same time.
