TIFT DEFENDS TARIFF
Asks That Timber Schedule Be
Left Undisturbed.
HAD RAlllEjYjmi PAYNE
Chairman Asks Why People of the
South Vote Against Tariff and
Then Ask for Protection.
Washington, D. C. The timber
schedule was again under discussion
before the house ways and means
committee. H. H. Tift of Tilton, Ga.,
who appeared at the request of the
committee, said that the creation of
forest reserves by the government
had had the effect of increasing the
price of stumpage. He declared that
the government gets the highest
prices for what it sells.
Mr. Tift asked that the lumber
schedule be left undisturbed, saying
that the free entry of lumber would
not tend to conserve the American
forests, and that the consumers prob
ably would get no benefit in the way
of reduced prices.
He admitted that he would be sat
isfied with the retention of the tariff
on the lower grades of lumber.
Chairman Payne asked Mr. Tift
why the people of the south come
before the committee and ask for
higher duties than the people from
any other section, and then vote for
a low tariff in the national election.
“Taft got 40,000 votes in Georgia,”
remarked the witness.
"Yes,” replied Mr. Payne; "but he
should have gotten a majority.”
"There was no campaign made in
Georgia for him,” retorted the wit
ness.
John H. Finney, representing the
Appalachian National Forest Associa
tion, urged the committee to take the
duty off certain white pine seedings,
which, he said, were needed for re
forestation, as this type of trees does
not reproduce itself.
CATTLE RAISING IN GEORGIA
Will Be Chief Topic of Discussion at
Farmers' Conference.
Athens, Ga. —What promises to be
the most interesting gathering of the
farmers to be held during the com
ing year, is that to be known as
the Farmers’ Conference, which will
be held under the direction of Dr. A.
M, Soule, president of the State Ag
ricultural College, from January 18th
to the 23rd, inclusive.
Commissioner of Agriculture T. G.
Hudson has been invited to attend
this conference and deliver an ad
dress, which he has accepted. In ad
dltion, State Entomologist E. L. Wor
sham will also attend this confer
ence, and it is expected that Govern
or Smith, State School Commijppner
Jere M. Pound and State CheMst R.
E. Stallings will also attend and de
liver short and instructive talks.
Cattle trading in Georgia is to be
one of the chief topics of discussion.
Dr. Soule is a staunch advocate of
the use of cotton seed meal mixed
with hulls as a cattle feed, having
made numerous tests which proved
it to be the best, as well as the
cheapest feed on the market.
The dairy operated in connection
wtih the agricultural college, where
this ration is fed to the milch cows,
will be one of the interesting exhibits
during the conference, as will be the
rich products secured from this dairy.
The full program of the conference
is to be announced later, giving the
names of the speakers and their sub
jects
Georgia, as an agricultural state, is
rapidly forging ahead in the great
interest being aroused over the de
velopment of Georgia, raised prod'
ucts.
NEW STATE FARM.
Prison Board Ptans Purchase of 5,000
Acre Tract.
Atlanta, Ga.—The prison commis
sion has under consideration a prop
osition to purchase a far mof about
5 000 acres to he used exclusively for
white convicts, the idea being to em
ploy them upon the farm rather
than upon the public roads.
Should the commission decide to
take this step, the state farm at Mil
ledgeville, where both white and ne
gro convicts are now stationed, will
.be used exclusively for sick or aged
negro convicts who are unable to do
service upon the roads.

SCHOOL BOOHS ADOPTED.
Vertical Writing Dropped in Favor of
Semi-Slar.t System.
Atlanta, Ga. —After thorough inves
tigation, the state school book com
mission has finished the task of re
vising the school book system of the
state and making the final adoptions
of the text-books to be used in the
common schools during the next five
years, beginning January !l, 1909, or
as soon as the changes can be effect
ed in the various schools.
With a view to securing uniformity
and simplicity as nearly as possible,
the commission dropped several
books from the various branches and
substituted other books written by
the same author.
The only new books adopted were
Wentworth’s New Elementary Arith
metic, which will precede Went
worth’s Practical Arithmetic, and
Hyde’s Second Book of Grammar, to
follow Hyde’s Course in English. The
latter book is already in use in the
largeroities of the state and may be
purchased' for 40 cetns. The new
arithmetic will cost 25 cents.
The books dropped by the commis
sion are Bacon’s Primary and Inter
mediate Arithmetic, Mines’ Standard
Arithmetic, Reed & Kellogg’s Graded
Lessons in English Grammar, Conn’s
Elementary Physiology, Coleman’s
Elements of Physiology and Holton’s
Primer.
One important change made by the
commission was the abandonment of
the vertical writing system and the
adoption of the semi-slant: To this
end the Roudebush copy books were
discarded and the Writing Hour Sys
tem was adopted.
