Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson, Gives Good Advice to Pro ducers— Raise Plenty to Eat and Plant Cotton as a Suplus Crop. In this my first talk with the farm ers of Georgia, I take occasion to con gratulate them on the present pros perous condition of our beloved state According, to the Comptroller-Gen eral’s report for 11106 the assessed valuation of all property In Georgia shows an Increase of 140,000,00 over last year. In every line, agriculture, manufactures and commerce, Shows gratifying progress. Hut what most interests us 1b on agricultural con- Although the thirteen and one nation, and prescribed a test for the same. ..its law ha« been amended from time to time, an.l so carefully and conscientiously have the Inspectors carried out the intent of the law, that for a number of yearR an explosion with the accompanying destruction of life and property, which at ope time was quite common, Is now unheard of. It is my opinion, hoxvever, that in requiring that the matter of safety be paramount, the Illuminating quality of the oil may have been Impaired. The oil refined to tne point where it will pass the Georgia test must neces sarily, it seems, be of low specific gruv. lty, containing more or less of para- 11 no and possibly other heavy chemi cals. Such an oil will not give as bright a lignt us one containing a larger percentage of naptha and other light inflauiable gases. So the ques tion arises, shall we have a brilliant light with a maximum uf danger, or one not so bright xvlth a minimum of Georgia danger? This question xvus settled by the law above referred to, and it is now "up to us” to get the best results possible from the material at command, local conditions as good its we may. Very often the cause of bad oil Is in the; storage tank of your merchant. This tank Is usually placed lit some dark corner and left uncovered from year to year, and the dirt has accumulated In the bottom, until every gallon of oil that Is ’/Hired Into It Is contaminat ed. In |#,mping out of this tank into your can the small particles of dirt are stirred up and poured into It and dually find their way into your lamp wick, clog 11 up und as a result you have a poor light.

When properly used is better than butter at one-fourth the cost. For cooking either bread or meats is far superior to lard at one-half the cost.
