tected from'
steps can be taken to have our guanos
analyzed and procure information
ceruiug these goods before we have tc
pay for same?
ANSWER.-*—ling a ,,,,, m, department , was es-
tablished to protect rife interest of the
farmers, <. and to give information on al]
subjects pertaining to the agricultural
interests interests, Under under the tne present present laws laws which wLioii
govern the sale ot commercial fertili-
zers ___, few, it any, manufacturers . or man-
ipulators would attempt to sell
articles to the farmers of this state,
The environments placed upon the sale
of fertilizers are adequate and of such
character that render it almost an
impossibility to pass off shoddy goods
upon the purchaser. It is true that
agents in their desire to sell often rep-
resent their goods to run higher than
their guarantee, but the farmers are
much to blame for their gullibility in
taking for granted that the goods are
what they are represented by overzeal-
ous agents. . When farmers . pay no at-
tentiou to the guarantees that
printed on the sacks of every brand, il
is their fault, if they are deceived as tc
its value. The law requires that each
sack , shall , ,, , have the « braud , printed . , , upon
it, also giving the analysis and the guar-
tmtee of each ingredient that goes ta
make un the total amouut of plant food,
'
Of „„ course strict a attention should , ,, , ba
given to tho minimum guarantee and
not the maximum, as the manufactur-
ers try to give enough of each ingredi-
cat to go above the minimum guaran-
tee, so as to meet the requirements ol
the law, therefore the minimum guar*
an tee is the only thing to which wa
Should , pay attention. .. After . .. tne ,, gooaa
are purchased, thou the law comes to tho
rescue of both the purchaser and seller,
The law requires the manufacturer tc
register the . name of a the A . goods, , the
name of the manufacturer, the place
where manufactured and the guarantee
of what amount of plant food with thi*
denartment department before oerore thev tney sell sea or or offer oner fof ioi
Gale any of their brunds. After ths
brands are r6^isu6r8d, tbs law roouirs^
the manufapfcarers to eiva onmml*
eioner of agrioult»r e uotioe, each day
of every sack of goods sold or consigned
to parties in this state, A also to give tha
names oi the partis^ to vzhom sold, an 1
whera said goods are to be delivered, s<3
that every sack oomos directly under
the eye of the commissioner, and hd
can send inspectors to find the differenf
brands in all portions of the state. TBg
samples are taken by the inspectors and
are sealed by them and sent to the com-
imssioner. . ■ They are then ,, numbered , i
and recorded in this office and sent fce
the chemist. The state chemist ana-
lyzes theae goods, aud they are returned
to the commissioner by number. These
reports are then recorded, and go tc
make up the bulletin which is sent to
every one from 1 whom a sample wal
taken and to all who ask for them. Be-
sides this plan of procuring samples, 1
have issued a circular letter through
tho newspapers of Georgia stating, that
if any person desired a special analysis
of his guano, that if ho would send me
a request, I would send an inspector tc
get a sample of the goods and make an
analysis of it. The law requires thal
if the commissioner sends in a sample
tothestatechemist.it must be taken
, by a sworn inspector, aud , only , from un-
broken sacks or packages. As soon as
the chemist can analyze these goods,
the results are sent directly to the per¬
sons for whom made.
Under the Ellington law, every
farmer can demand that a sample shall
be taken of the goods he purchases at
the time of the delivery for the party
from whom he buys his guanos. This
sample shall be taken by both the sells*
and buyer, delivered to the ordinary,
and he will seal it in their presence_and
not benefited by the use of saia**.^.^ s&Yj
ho can have the ordinary to send the
pie to the state chemist for analysis, and
if the poods do not come up to the
guarantee, the purchaser need not pay
, for them. Ihus you see the many pre-

I propose as commissioner to give op-

as well as to protect the interests of the

Treatment of Fruit Trees Injured by
the February Freeze.
Question.—T o what extent did the
February freeze injure the ii uit trees of
Georgia, ® and is there any treatment tor
lro2e trees v
Answer. — The unprecedented cold
wave that swept over the state last Feb-
ruary greatly injured fruit trees in
many sections of the state, and it is
highly 6 / important that such trees should
be p operly treated at once, that the
damage may be overcome as much as
possible. plums and figs have suffered
belies
most, while apples and pears seem to
be verv ntrle damaged. Of the peaches,
the Alexanders and Tillotsons are the
most injured. Ail of the other varie¬
ties are greatly damaged, but to a less
extent.
In a great many cases the Sateuma
plum was nearly killed to the ground,
while the Abundance and most of the
other varieties are not so much dam-
aged. f The damage seems to be conimed
a mogt entirely to the bearing trees.
Young trees from nursery stock to 2-year
orchard trees have escaped with little
damage. Unfortunately the principal
imurv ^ J is to the trunK of the troes. lhe
t is8ues and the cam bium layer of
the bark are frozen and blackened from
the snrface of the ground up to 12
iucheG ba k « °* loosened more * ? n from , d iQ a the , f0 'I trees cases ^ Us- 1Q

ua y
inches of bark on one side of the tree

cf bark is lisuall y found on the
CeverViffouad ^ SJbTiS
The twigs and limbs are apparently not
so badly damaged. The wood just be-
neath the buds is browued, and some of
the my opinion most
^bese trees may recover and be re-
stored to a fair condition. This, how-
ever, is a. question. Many will undoubt-
edly die in the course of this summer.
Trees that were badly weakened from
tke Sau j 0S8 sca ie, 0 r from the depie-
aations of other insects, or from neglect
or otherwise, in most cases were kilied
beyond ^ a doub.t and should be dug up an
on 0 The work of restoration can bo
greatly aided by cutting the trees back
severely. Each grower must determine
for himself how much must be cut
away, according to the extent and the
location of the damage. As a rule, at
Je as t one-third of the growth of the
limbs should be cutoff. In a few oases
it “ will be wise to cut the limbs back to
Stubbs , , about . , ... 1-* inches. • All ah badly dam-
aged limbs should be taken OUtentirely.

Neither should cultivation be
