JIM PRICE’S PLAIN TALK TO FARMERS Statement From Only “Practical Farmer’’ in Race for Commis sioner of Agriculture. To the Voters, and Especially to the Farmers, of Georgia: Believing as 1 do that a candidate for the office of commissioner of ag riculture should meet and talk with the voters, and particularly with the farmers, that they might have oppor tunity to see and know him, I have visited some eighty Georgia counties during th s caropa gn and met thou sands of good citizens; and l shall continue until the primary, visiting as many counties as it is possible for me to reach. J. D. PRICE, Of Oconee, Candidate for Cornmis . sioner of Agriculture. But it is impossible for me to meet every one, so I take this method of soliciting your valuable support. Nothing 1 ever did in my i fe, has afforded me more pleasure or instruc tion than traveling over the state, nuetng and talking with you in this campaign; for it has not only made me know and love my fellow-men more than ever hefor r \ but it has ihown me the needs of the country, ai.U how best to deal with them, I am a farmer, and farming is my ONLY INTEREST. I may be pardoned for skying that J am :he omy pract.cal farmer seeking •your suffiage for rhe oliice of com nutsioner ci agriculture. Neither of my opponents—both good men—pos spses this quaiii'-catidn which the law demands; neither of them makes farming his occupation. In creating lii s department the leg islature said, in the very outset, (set section 17110, c vil code is 95 > that tin. cfiiee shotid be filled by a PKACTi ’CAL FARMER mean’ng one whose business is farm ng and who liar made a succ ss of u. 1 quote from tin. foreeoing code section: “Sec. 1790 —Commissioner, how elected. Sa d department shall be under the control and management ot 'one officer, who shall he known a the commissioner of agriculture, who shall he a p:actical farmer, elected by pet sons qua.died to vote for mem bers of the general assembly,” etc. If l am elected to this office, it shall he my a m not only to conform to the letter, hut to the spirit’ of the law, the ch ef end of which, as I sec it, is to afford assistance and help wherever the ta mer needs it, wheth er it be an ind vidual, a community cr the whole state, if the one-hors ■ farmer has a sick mule cow or hog he can command me as quickly a. the man with a hundred, or the com in unity with a thousand. And, r ght here, I want to tell you I am for the one-horse and the two horse farmer, in the small farmer, ] believe, iies the dependence of the state; he is our biggest asset. Bui lie will make a better farmer and a more important asset, if he owns hie own farm, no matter how small. Ne pro leaders are preaching this doc tr ne to their race; it is up to us ic put it into practice. Much to do is be Tig made over a certain fertilizer bill pending in th’ legislature, the effect of which, i; passed, would be to prohibit the sa! of anything but the highest grads fertilizers. Now I want to say that I have no interest, directly or ndirec!- ly. in any feitilizer concern under the sun, and I believe in high-grade fer tilizers; I use them myself, and 1 think it is to the best interest ol ev ery farmer to use them. But I can not subscribe to a law which proh.L its any man from buy eg just what he wants. Suppose the state were to pass a law saying you could buy nothing but a $250 mule to work youi farm. You go to the mule dealer; hi says, “That mule over there is worth only SIOO, but I can’t sell you that one because the law prohibits it.” The principle is the same. Rut I’ll tell you what I can do and what I propose to do if I am elected, ar.d that is to see to it strictly that every sack of fertilizer sold in this =tate has branded on the bag just exactly what it so that the Beersheba.
