THE AGRICULTURAL BUREAU.
“Hon- Lon Livingston says, in conver¬ I
sation with a Constitution reporter, that !
the Agricultural B ireau of Georgia is
not only sustaining, but pays $ 4 °, 000
into the State treasury—dividend from !
the, inspection of fertilizers above the |
cost of running the Bureau. We would
like to ask the Senator who actually pays ;
these inspection fees? Do not the man- !
ufacturers of fertiliz rs count in inspec
tionfees as a part of the cost of produc
tionand placing their goods on the mar
ket? Certainly they do; therefore, the
54oooo that goes into the treasury tc
educate the negroes, and $20,000 that
goes to keep up Jack Henderson, his
Unfold and the dodgasted Bureau, are
"umg out of nobody but the tax ridden
farmers. And they receive no benefit,
We have talked with over twenty of our
farmers and not one says he has ever
been benefitted by it. We now ask all
of our farmers who have been benefit >
hv this great Bureau to report us in what
way and how much.”
The above short editorial appeared in
this paper July the 27th. In the Con
etitution of the 7th inat. we notice a
letter from Conyers signed by Mr. Tuck
er-Swann and others in which says,
‘Ai it has bee« copied in several other
Papers and conveys an erroneous impres
**00reflecting the upon the intelligence of
farms of our county, we ask that
you publish the following reply.’’ Again
they say that they have been' benefitted
in various ways by the department and
are unwilling to be misrepresented by
toe Weekly
“ «’« ^ lot believe the above tetter
gotten up at the instance of a certain
at,scrupulous politician, a State Senator
we would not notice it, but we do believe
PI he « its originator, and shall dea,
"Rh it accordingly, iu the first
^ whole tener is false from begining to
end. We de:y any man to show one
word iu our editorial reflecting in the
Obtest manner upon the intelligence
«f our farmers. It can’t be done, and
ffie attempt to prejudice the minds of
{ he farmers against us by such boldfaced,
natl ‘ ue suteiaejits, is beneath the
ty of any gentleman. We bam eyer
worked for the interest of our farmers
faithfully and well, and the man who
testifies that we have ever knowingly
misrepresented them or threir interests at
any time or in any manner testifies to
what is not true. How h>'ve we mis
represented the gentlemen who sign the
letter. Have we ever stated that they
said they had not been benefitted? we
said we had talked with over twenty o’
our farmers who say they ha^e not been
benefitted, and it is true- We cm get
the Tnafnes of 500 in neccessary. We
now ask these gentlemen did we ever
as ^ either of you about the matter? n<
one of you can say that we did. We asr
you through our editorial to report to us
if you had been benefitted. Did you do
it? No!- Y ou sent your answer to the
Atlanta Constitution unjustly condemn
ing us for the purpose of assisting one or
two mean politicians. The whole matter
is two trauspar ent to gu 1 many people.
Whv did you not report <o ns? Why
say we had reflected upon the intelli
genee of our farmers and misrepresented
you when no word reflecting npon them
was used and your names did notap
pear in our paper? Surely yon do not
set yourselves up as the entire farn ing
force of this county. It reminds us
more of the circulars of a certain Island
Shoals merchant than any thing else—
ggjf persecution to get sympathy. Now
a few words as to the benefits they have
received. What are they? a manual on
the hog, sheep, chicken, analysis of soil
( es f, crop reports Ac.
Now we want to know what in the
name of goodness they have received in
tbe way of benefits from the manual on
the hog? How many hogs do you sup
pose these gentlemen have? Sure'y not
enough to authorize the ereetion of a
Bureau at a cost of over $23,000 to issue
manuals, directing his cultivation. We
would like <o know how many more hogs
these gentlemen have raised siuce-l they
received these valuable manuals and
how much larger they are? And
they have also been ‘ ben
efltted by a manual on the sheep! How
much? Is there any man of the signers
who owns 20 sheep? Is there 100 sheep
owned by the whole number, 38, of the
signers? Don’t they own as many dogs
as they do sheep? We venture the as
sertion that they do and belie re the facts
will susta n us, Surely then the manual on
the sheep is sufficient cause for a $25,000
Bureau? As to the manual* on chickens
and the crop reports they are all bosh.
They do not increase the yield of either
nor raise one cent the price.
They say‘‘through the inspection of
fertilizers, even admitting that we pay
the fees for inspection, we teel that we
get many dollars worth of protection for
every dollar we pay out.
We do not believe this true The ma¬
jority of onr frrmers do not believe it
true, for theyjsay that they got beltei _-u
ano before the inspection was forced
than they do now, for then it sold npon
,ts merits, but now it is sold on the
gr iund of having been inspected one
pint «ut of a cargo! Even if the inspec¬
tion did give ttem benefit, is it necessary
to pay $23 000 for a Bureau to have it
done? Can it be inspected without it?
Certainly it can. It seems that a child
might see through this thing.
The charge has been made that we
have misrepresented our farmers and
that we h ive reflected upon their intefii
gence. We say it is false and give be
h>w the names of good farmers who say
they have not been misrepresented and
the most of whom say farther that they
believe the Agricultural Bu.eauto be an
imposition upon 1 he farmers. Had we
time to see them we could get the names
of 500 farmers, and we know that if the
quettion was left to our farmers they
would wipe out the Agricultural , . , , Bureau „
