Atlanta, May 21.—-The Legislature is ■asked to reduce the number of oil and fertilizer Inspectors In Georgia to n min imum, whilo “a largor and more pro gressive cduoationnl program for the ru ral .schools” Is urgod, in resolutions adopted Monday afternoon by the advi- nory board of the Georgia Farm Bureau IFedcration, mooting at the. headquarters of the bureau in tim Chamber of Com- imonreo building. Tim bonrd also adopted resolutions worldly commending the n<lminlstrntion of Gov.'dlcCt Tims. W. Ifnrdwiok for his announced ipotlcy of economy in Btntc affairs, und ipdodgcd him tlm support of tho Farm Bureau in carrying out this ipojicy. ' . . .' IDio resolution calls upon tho Legis laturo to reduce tho number of oil Inspec tors, pointing out that nt prcBont thoro aro approximately 103 inspectors in the State, und that they are paid an average ranJaiy of $100 monthly, Tho resolution 'dedlarns that, by reducing this number to six, and having the oil inspected nt terminal -points, with two or throe trav- ioHiq? inspectors to go from ono point to nnothor, nioro than $100,000 would be saved the State In snlnrlcs. Oil Incpco tors in Georgia are not paid by tho State, it wns pointed out, but by fees from the mil companies. Those fees, instead of ■going to the inspectors, would lie paid Onto tho State Treasury. Similar argu ments worn advanced nsklng that tho fortiliser Inspectors bo reduced in mini- 1>nr. slay. A resolution wns unnnimously passed adse asking the Legislature to abolish the su-cnllod Btnto Buronu of Markets, the rosduCtlon declaring tlmt by so doing $50,000 annually would bo saved the State. Tho ITHohlt Ion set out that the ' -Stnto Oollogc of Agriculture was doing wxnetiy the same work that tho so-called •■Stnto Bureau of Markets was supposed to do, nnd that there wns no necessity ■for e duplication of this work—cspecinl- ly at the Stnto's expense. Tho bonrd also went on record ns be ing opposed to tho Snplro plnn of cotton marketing. Resolutions declaring that tho plnn wns impracticable, unsound nnd not feasible lit this .time, wore miaul-, imonsly adopted. •* ,1-W PICNIC TIME. Telfair Enterprise. Hero’s picnic season again, right nround the corner. It suggests old puns about ants in the blackborry pie, nnd sand in the sugar, ami all that, but we the uro not welcoming the season with any BR*VA^JT" aVftnt ’ " ,U We’MUjlad we’re back around to pic nic. time and family reunion weather, because it will give our citizens who have boon more or less housod up for several months a chance to got out and shako linnds nnd renew acquaintance with each otlior. It means chnutnuquns nnd camp-meetings for many communi ties, nnd they moan not only entertain ment but educational features that aro too good to bo overlopked. -It glvos whole families an opportunity to get together and talk over ‘‘the good old days,” while nothing brings tho farmer nnd the town man into closer toueli than a big outdoor meeting of some kind, whore they enn sit beneath the trees, whittle, anil talk to tlioir lioart’B con tent. They get each others’ ideas of business conditions; they discuss agri culture and offor ench other helpful sug gestions, and in this wny ench loams much tlmt Is going to prove valuable later on. It gives the young people a chance, too, to got their lungs full of good, pure, fresh air, and to show off their now Charles S. Barrett, president (It tipi Farmers' Uniou, who is now ongngCd ill using tho Cotton Growors’ Oo-oporativ'tf Association to further his political mach inations, 1b Issuing m«h stntommitB, nnd thou ‘‘running away from the ,music” when his linntl is called. Tho otlior dny tile Atlanta Constitution quoted- Mr. -Bnrrott ns snylng “lie would bet $1,000 tlmt. the Georgia Farm Bureau Fodorn- ijioM did not linvo 1,000 bona fblo mom- hors.” Tho next morning, R. A, Kel ley, president of tho State Form Buronu Federation, wrote out his chock for $1,000 and offered to cover Mr. Barrett’s wager, lotting any unprejudiced person bo the judge. However, It developed tlmt Mr. Barrett lied left for Washing ton on nu afternoon train, nonrly four teen liouro before the urticlo in question wns to be published. When Mr. Bnrrott eoinos buck, If he does, he will have a ehnneo to miiko good bin offer to bet $1,000, but tho elmneos nro 100 to l lie will have some loop-holo to "ornwflsli” out of it. As a matter of fact, tho State Farm Bnronu Federation hns a membership of 10,000, nnd the list is being augmented by now additions every clothes, und to form friendships which will Inst throughout the years to come. In fact, everybody bonnflts from outdoor gatherings, no matter where or when they are hold. And we can only hope this section will see many picnics and family reunions this season, nnd that oncli will be marked by a roeord-broaklng attend ance, BUSINESS SITTING UP.

Ono yonr ago the dollar was worth only, 37 Vents as compared with Its value before the world war;—today it is worth 65 cents. In order to test the purchasing value of tho dollar today ns compared with its buying power twelve months ago, a Now- nan citizen oL-nn iuqutiing turn of mind decided to tost tlm accuracy, of the Gov ernment’s analysis by making an inves tigation on his own account, and this is what he iearned— In Mav, 1920, $31,40 would buy In the Newnau market one buBhel of Irish potatoes, ($3.40,) and 100 lbs. granule ted sugar, ($28,00.) Today tho same amount of money will buy at any gro eory store In Nownnn the following household commodities: One bnshel Irish potatoos, $1.70: 100 lbs. granulated-su gar, $10; 48 lbs. best flour, $3.25; 1 bushel meal, $1,40; 8 lbB. lard, $1; 0 cans peaches, $1.80; 2 rains blackberries, 80c.; 4 cans hominy, 60c.; 10 lbs. navy beans, $1.25; 10 lbs. rice, 75o.; 10 lbs. grits, $1; 3 lbs. coffee, $1.20; 4 pkgs. cornflakes, 50c.; 12 pkgs.

And this is not all; more than one Nownnn retailor to whom the above list was submitted said tlie articles enu merated could be purchased here today at a saving of $2 to $3, as compared with the prices quoted.
