FARM BUREAU MAKES
REPLYTOJJ.BRDWN
*
Editor The Journal: The attached
article is a resolution passed unani
mously by the Georgia Farm Bureau
Federation, in answer to attacks
made upon the federation by Com
missioner of Agriculture J. J. Brown.
Please publish it in its entirety,
as It is a most comprehensive an
swer to the' attacks now being circu
lated broadcast throughout the state
by Mr. Brown.
Yours verv truly.
R. A. KELLY, President,
Georgia Farm Bureau Federation.
Gainesville. Ga., May 28. 1921.
“Hon. J. J. Brown, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: We have read your let
ter to Mr. Guy Clopton. of Gaines
ville, one of your oil inspectors, with
very much interest. We think that
the farmers of the state have about
reached the point where they do not
care to hear from you further. /This
organization, the Hall County Farm
Bureau, does not propose, to lower its
standing by getting into a contro
versy with a politician like you and
except for the fact that your letter
was written for the express purpose
of discrediting the farm bureau here
we would not reply. However, we
cannot allow the letter to go unan
swered.
The farmers of Georgia remember
you as the man who urged them to
reduce their fertilizers in 1919. They
did as you recommended and lost
millions of dollars on account of a
short cotton crop.
The farmers of Georgia remember
you as the man who urged them to
hold their cotton last fall when it
was selling at from 25 to 30 cents per
pound. They did as you recommend
ed and they lost from fifty to one
hundred million dollars by taking
your advice.
The farmers of Georgia remember
you as the man who urged them to
Join the American Cotton associa
tion. They did so. in large numbers,
but before the organization could
start functioning you had dropped it
ajid had hopped on another horse,
notwithstanding the fact that thou
sands of dollars in money had been
secured and this mopey has h#en
spent to no avail so far as the farm
ers are concerned.
Bureau of Markets
The farmers of Georgia remember
you as the man who recommended
that a state bureau of markets be es
tablished. They remember that the
legislature has for the past several
years made large appropriations for
this bureau of markets. They re
member that this bureau of markets
has only been a political tool in your
hands and that it has not rendered
the dirt farmers of the state any
good whatever, as far as we know.
Not one farmer in a hundred knows
there is such an organization. This
bureau is costing the state over fifty
thousand dollars per year. The farm
ers of Georgia are opposed to this ap
propriation. A
The farmers of Georgia remember
that you rode into office on an econo
my-efficiency platform. They realize
that you have not kept this promise.
They realize that your appointees as
oil inspectors are drawing from the
state about two hundred thousand
dollars annually. If this work can
be done for cne-fifth the cost they
think it would be good business to
reduce the number of these inspec
tors. You are opposed to this. Why?
The farmers of Georgia remember
you as the man whom they elected,
so that certain evils which existed
in the state department of agricul
ture might be remedied. They are
aware of the fact that the state de
partment of agriculture at present is
at its lowest ebb in a generation so
far as rendering real service to the
dirt farmers of the state are con
cerned.
The farmers of Georgia know you
now as the man who is backing the
so-called Sapiro cotton marketing
plan in Georgia. They are not yet
ready to join such organization as
you will find out shortly. If the
plan was all that could be expected
they are opposed to it as long as it is
to be run by you and your political
cohorts.
Your letter to Mr. Clopton is so full
of inaccuracies and deliberate lies
that we will not attempt to answer
all of them. You are on the defense,
the farm bureau is not, and until you
explain satisfactorily to the farmers

of the state some of the workings of
your department it does not become
you to try to hide behind a poison
screen of lies and vilification.
First you state in your letter “Dr.
Soule and his annex, the Georgia
Farm Bureau Federation, etc.,” lit
No. 1. The farm bureau is a na
tional organization composed of two
million dirt farmers. So far as we
know every commissioner of agricul
ture in the United States Is back ot
the movement except you.
You state that it receives its in
structions from the northwest.
That’s another lie. The Georgia Farm
Bureau is composed of Georgia
farmers, organized for the purposfe
of solving the problems which now
confront the Georgia farmer. The
farmers of the state are supporting
the organization in ever-increasing
numbers and they will continue to
do so, you and your bunch to the
contrary notwithstanding.
You state that it receives support
from Y’all street. Still another liS
and you knew it was a lie when you
wrate it. You wrote it to try to dis
credit the organization and in your
desperation you are willing to resort
to any means, fair or foul, to so dis
credit it..
The Georgia division of the farrq
bureau is composed of real dirt
farmers. Can you say the same of
the bunch of men who met in At
lanta and adopted the so-called Sa
piro cotton marketing plan-
You state that the farm bureau in
its Atlanta meeting passed a resolu
tion to the effect that "they were
opposed to a co-operative plan of
marketing, or any other plan of mar
keting, that would interfere with
the great system of markets that
had been built up during the last 150
years” (quotation from your letter
to Mr. Clopton). The Georgia Farm
Bureau passed no such resolution
and you lied when you wrote such

to Mr. Clopton and you knew you
were lying at the tipie. We have
before us the resolution as passed in
regard to the Sapiro plan. It states
“Resolved; That the Geargia Farm
Bureau Federation cannot give its
indorsement to said Sapiro or Cali
fornia Cotton Marketing Plan.” This
is the resolution, nothing has been
added to it or taken from it.
“Hands Off” Policy
The Georgia Farm Bureau .took
this action after it had held meet
ings in fifteen points in Georgia and
after it had heard from real dirt
farmers on the proposition. The real
dirt farmers say that they will have
nothing whatever to do with such a
plan. Probably you have found this
out by this time. However, you are
very versatile and if this don’t work
you can jump to some other propo
sition and pbsh it for awhile as you
have done so many times in the past.
You know what the Sapiro plan is
and the farmers are rapidly learning
what it is. We know what the re
sult will be and you will soon find
out if you do not know now.
The farm bureau is an organiza
tion with nothing to conceal from
any body, any time, anywhere. It in
vites the widest publicity and in
vestigation. Its meetings are al
ways open. We only insist that
when the farm bureau is under dis
cussion by you that you confine
yourself to the truth. This you
certainly did not do in your letter
to Mr. Clopton.
The farm bureau in Hall county is
composed of two hundred of the best
farmers of Hall county. Its pro
gram of work is constructive. It
proposes to do certian things for the
farmer that you have talked so
much but have never taken steps to
accomplish. It cannot afford to get
into a mud-slinging campaign with a
cheap pqliticlan like you. You have
spent four years in office, and all
that the farmers of Georgia ever
heard from you is villigication of
some one, cussing the government,
etc. Quit that and get busy and
do something.
Yours truly,
Hall County Farm Bureau.

tied up at a Baltimore and Ohio rail
road pier. The steamer is one of the
shipping board’s vessels and is af
fected here by the strike.
The blaze was confined to the boil

have started by sparks igniting oil
waste. The amount of damage could
not be learned early this morning,
but it was said to be not extensive.

HARDWICK OUTLINES
INAUGURAL PUNS
Governor-elect Thomas W. Hard
wick will devote his inaugural ad
dress to a general resume of condi
tions in tlvc state, reserving for sub
sequent oral and written messages to
the legislature concrete and specific
recommendations concerning matters
of immediate moment.
In outlining this purpose Tuesdav
morning. Mr. Hardwick declared that
it has not been definitely determined
whether the inaugural ceremonies
will be held out of doors, on the
Washington street plaza of the state
capitol, or within the hall of the
house of representatives., Determina
tion of this detail will be made at
a conference betwen Mr. Hardwick
and Stat Chairman W. C. Vereen, of
Moultrie.
"Mr. Vereen has volunteered to
assume the burden of arranging the
details of the inauguration.” said the
governor-elect. “As chairman of the
state Democraatic committee, his
views should be consulted. He will
be in Atlanta during the week at
which time decision will be made as
to whether the ceremonies shall be
held in doors or out of doors.’
In view of the widespread interest
in the inauguration address of Mr.
Hardwick —an .interest that fore
shadows a record-breaking attend
ance—it is believed that Chairman
Vereen will insist upon ap open air
inauguration, and this will be per
fectly agreeable to the governor-
C1 The purpose of Mr. Hardwick to
confine his inaugural address to gen
eral matters, reserving detailed rec
ommendations for subsequent com
munication to the legislature, con
forms to the custom • that lias ob
tained heretofore in Georgia. But his
purpose to use both oral and wHtten
messages in communicating with the
legislature will mark a new depar
tU“l do not expect to personally ap
pear before the legislature ® ve [£
time occasion arises from me
communicate with the two houses
said Mr. Hardwick. "But I P™hably
will appear In person and address
the houses in joint session on severaj
matters of unusual moment that
must be considered and concerning
which I have, formulated definite
the governor-elejft did
not describe the matters of
moment that he has in mind. It is be
lieved he includes under this head
recommendations concerning reve
nues and expenditures. • Indeed, it is
not‘unlikely that he will a^ r ess the
general assembly at an early date
after its meeting upon his pay-as
vou-go” idea, and make is unmis
takably clear that no
bills will be approved by him unless
he "can be shown” that the revenues
of the state will be adequate to meet
such obligations when they fall due.
The governor-elect s plans for find
.ng a part of the rentals of the Wes
tern and Atlantic railroad, for a pe
riod of years, as a means of securing
money to liquidate unpaid obliga
tions of the state, may be an
< ther subject upon which Mr. Hard
wick will. address the two houses in
ioint session. .. .
The various subjects upon which
Mr. Hardwick may address the legis
lature cannot be outlined in advance,
since the relative importance of ques
tions that may arise cannot be an
ticipated, but the fact’is that asi gov
ernor of Georgia, Thomas W. Hard
wick will, on occasions, appear in
person in the hall of the house of
representative and exercise hm con
stitutional prerogative ot advising
with the legislature concerning ar
fairs of state.

Abolition'of Cotton
Exchanges Advocated
NEW YORK, May 31.—Abolition
of c' m exchanges if they cannot
be regulated adequately by law, was
advocated by United States Senator
J. Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, in
an address here before a national
consultation of American cotton
growers, manufacturers and affiliat
ed interests.
Consideration is being given a law
concerning cotton futures, he as
serted, but he expressed <Joubt as
the possibility of framing a measure
that the exchanges could not find a
way to evade.
"If the cotton exchanges cannot be
regulated," Senator Heflin declared.
“I am in favor of killing them. I
say, give them another chance. How
ever, we don’t have to have ex

we have to have exchanges to sell

THIS IS HOW THE FIJI ISLANDERS RIDE LOGS. TRY" IT

DIGS are cranky, awkward
things in the water and I
have always marveled at the
lumber jack and rivermen of
Maine and Canada who could ride
them through all sorts of rough wa
ter and only average about one duck
ing a day.
But from reading about the Fiji
Islanders in my geography, I learned
the wrinkle of how to bridle a log
and keep it from being “cranky” and
rolling over all the time. When I
learned that secret I felt that I could
make a capital craft out of almost
any ordinary old log.
The South Sea’ islanders put out
riggers on their very narrow canoes
so that they cannot tip over or roll.
I put outriggers on a log (Fig. 1).
It was easy. All I had to do was
notch the log fore and aft, spike two
cross pieces on (A & B), then to
these spike two smaller logs (C &
D). The main log was about 18
inches through the butt. The smaller
logs were about 6 inches through the
butt.
There was my craft all ready for

From U. S. Pending

LONDON. May 31. —With the Brit
ish government supposed to be pro

aid to Sinn Feiners. “President” De
Valera has cabled an appeal to his
friends in the United States for fur
ther aid.
“Our enemies threaten increased
frightfulness, hoping to crush us,”
said his cablegram to the Irish Rec
ognition association. “With your
support we defy them. Liberty shall
not perish here.”
The message was said to have been
called out by British preparations for
the use of still greater force in sup

Mexicans Don’t Fear
Growth of Bolshevism
MEXICO CITY, May 31. —Bolshe-
vism does not constitute a menace
to Mexico, declared Antonio Diaz
Soto y Gama, socialist leader, in the
chamber of deputies last evening.
Senor Gama has long been recog
nized as a radical chief and has been
charged by political opponents in
the chamber with having planned
the invasion of the lower house of
the Mexican congress by alleged Bol
sheviki two weeks ago.
“Mexico is not prepared for Bol
shevism,” he asserted, during the
course of an address. “Its prole
tarian classes, because of their lack
of education, experience and general
worldly knowledge, are not in a po
sition to supplant the present ruling
class. Bolshevism, however, is ripe
in England, France, Italy, even in
the United States, but Mexico must
wait for further development before
such ideals can come to fruition
here.”
President Obregon declared in a
recent statement that Bolshevism
was “conceived in Russia by the
czars and not by the people of
that nation.”
“If the Russian people," he con
tinued. ‘had enjoyed the liberties
now enjoyed by the Mexican people,
Bolshevism would not have been
known. I am of the opinion that
the present Mexican government has
not committed errors which would
provoke a social upheaval of that
kind.”
me. I shoved it off the sand bar
where I had built it, into the water,
and climbed aboard. I could do a
jig on the big log and it just
wouldn’t roll over because the out
riggers held it firm.
But I wanted a more comfortable
craft than that, so I made a seat
about two feet from the stern of the
main log. I found a slab (Fig 2),
or as the pioneers used to call them,
a ponchon, and used an auger to
make a ponchon bench (Fig. 3).
Keeps You High, Dry
This was done by drilling holes
into the slab (E, F. G. & H) and in
serting the bench legs, first wetting
them a little so that the wood would
swell after it had been forced into
the holes. That made a bully seat
that would let me sit down, all high
and dry, and paddle my own capoe
wherever I wanted to go.
To be sure, the catamaran sort of
a thing was a little heavy to make
very fast progress but, by paddling
or poling (I found poling more suc
cessful) I found I could get almost
anywhere on Mud creek I wanted to
go, an dit wasn’t long before sev

5. Q. Why is gold and silver
money notched on the edges?
A. The director of the mint says
that gold and silver money is notch
ed in order to make it more difficult
to mutilate the coins for profit,
6. Q. What was the size and
weight of the Cullinan diamond?
A. This diamond weighed 3,024%
carats, or 1.37 pounds, and measured
4 inches by 2.5 inches by 1.25 inches.
It has been cut into nine stones, the
largest of which, Cullinon 1, weighs
516 % carats.
7. Q. Why are legislators spoken
of as "solons”?
A. “Solon” was a very noted law
giver of Athens, Greece, born 640
B, C. He made and provided for the
enactment of very wise laws under
which the state prospered greatly.
Lawmakers are called “solons” some
times in admiration, sometimes in
sarcasm.
8. Q. Can a branch of an apple
tree be grafted on a pear tree and
the branch bear apples and the pear
tree bear pears?
A. The department of agriculture
says that although it is true that a
branch of the apple'tree can be graft
ed to a pear tree and the branch
have apples and the pear tree have
pears, this is not common and is sim
ply regarded as a curiosity. Such a
method of propagation has no prac
tical posibilities.
9. Q. What proportion of the
men employed by mines actually
work underground?
A. In bituminous mines four
fifths of the employes are under
ground,' directly engaged in getting
out the coal. In anthracite mines,
about one-third of the men are ac
tually mining coal, the rest being oc
cupied in preparing and moving it.
10. Q. Why are turpentine, tar
and pitch known as naval stores?
A. The origin of this term is ob
scure, but it is probable that it was
derived from the fact that these ma
terials were at one time mainly
used by shipping.

McAdoo Raps Harvey’s
Statement That U. S.
Fought Only Laggardly
HUNTINGTON, N. Y.. May 31.
William G. McAdoo, speaking at the
dedication of the tablet to the men
of Huntington who served in the
world war, denied "the ignoble asser
tion and that served ‘merely to save
our own skins’ and because we were
‘afraid to fight.’ ”
“I denounce as a caluminy the
statement that the brave men who
fought and died for America ‘to save
the United States and most re
luctantly and laggardly at that,’ ” Mr.
McAdoo said. “These men fought
because they loved liberty and were
not willing to have it swept from
the earth.
“But we lost, on the battle field of
politics, the victory over war itself.
Autocracy was left dead on the bat
tlefield, but Mars, the god of war.
was re-enthroned in the poditical
arena.”
Declaring that the problem of
world peace was great and over
shadowing he asserted that the world
was in many respects in greater tur
moil and misery than when the
armistice was signed—because the
United States had not done its part
toward bringing about* that organi
zation pf the nations which he said
would assure in the largess possible
measure their united co-operation.
Rejection of membership in the
League of Nations, he said, was a
grave mistake and he urged his pro
ponents to endeavor to obtain a re
consideration of the verdict.
He advised entering into an agree

cigarette like this
in my day—
The Camel idea wasn’t born then.
It was the exclusive expert Camel
blend that revolutionized cigarette
smoking.
That Camel blend of choice Turk

the right spot. It gives Camels such
mellow mildness and fragrance!
The first time I smoked Camels
I knew they were made for me. I
knew they were the smoothest,

State
Farm Bureau President :
Asks Co-operation m
Agricultural Probe
Following the publication of an ar
ticle by J. J. Brown to the effect
that he would seek to have the in
coming legislature make an Investi
gation of the state college of agri
culture, R. A. Kelley, president of
the Georgia Farm Bureau Federa
tion, has addressed a communication
to Commissioner Brown asking that
he co-operate with the farm bureau
in having an investigation made of
the entire department of agriculture
as well.
President Kelley points out that
nearly a half million dollars annual
ly is expended by the department of
agriculture and that the people of
the state have a right to know where
their money goes. '
“The farm bureau is working along
a strictly economic platform.” said,
Mr. Kelley,” and it believes that a
large amount of money is wasted in
the conduct of the department of
agriculture, which could be saved
the taxpayers.
“I am confident that the state col
lege of agriculture will welcome a
legislative investigation, and I am
equally confident that it will never be
made for the simple reason that
Commissioner Brown knows full well
that if such an investigation is made
it will reveal to the citizens of Geor
gia what’ valuable work the college
is doing.
“We have received many letters
from legislators-elect who are in
dorsing our stand for economy in all
lines to help the people of the state."
Mr. Kelley said that the farm bu
reau was now working on a com.
modify marketing plan for all prod
ucts, which would shortly be per-’
fected and presented to the farmer'
throughout Georgia.
