Why n
| Financiers Must Go to the%
Farmers for Money |>
i? By James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture.
— -rr-rr- AST year the farm products of this country were worth
L $0,500,000,000. This year they will be worth from $500,000,-
000 to $1,000,000,000 more. It is not possible to give the
exact sum, but that the value of the crops will be greater
- - this year I have no doubt. What other element of our popula-
tion produces as much as this?
1 have often told capitalists that if they would make
■ ° - their railroad and other securities as safe as government
bonds they would have no trouble in borrowing money. The
recent exposures of the methods of juggling with railroad securities and all
that sort of thing have made people doubtful about where to lend their
money. The man who takes proper steps will not have difficulty in raising
money.
The country bank is close to the farmer. His money is deposited there,
and he receives interest on it in ironclad securities. The bank holds the
paper, but it is virtually in the hands of the farmer himself. •
With the increase in the demand for Western and Southern money the
details will be perfected and the transactions will be made more and more
directly with the farmer. This producer of the real wealth of the country
is coming to b 6 more of a financier than it ww ever thought he would, and
the end ii net yet. L .

Items of State Interest Ctiiied
From Random Sources.
Must First Organize District.
In answer to a question from the
comptroller general as to the period
for which a school district may collect
taxes, Attorney General Hart has held
that a district in order to collect taxes
for the year within which it is created
must be organized prior to the date
fixed by law for the return of taxes.

Slow Demand for Fertilizers.
Trade in fertilizers this year indi
cates a falling off of about 16 to 25
per cent, as compared with last year
according to information received at
the state department of agriculture.
Last year the sales of fertilizers in
Georgia were something more than 700,-
000 tons. Present indications point to
the fact that this year’s sales are like
ly to fall below 600,000 tons for all
purposes.

Prisonerse Cremated in Jail.
The county jail at Statesville was
destroyed by fire, believed to be of in
cendiary origin, one night the past
week, and two negro prisoners burned
to death. One of the prisoners was
charged with shooting a man named
Westberry in a recent riot between
negro employees of Perkins Brothers, a
sawmill firm, and white citizens and of
ficers, and it is believed that the fire
was an aftermath of this affair. There
has been much ill feeling between two
factions in the county.

Medicines Subject to Liquor Tax.
John G. Capers of the internal rev
nue department in Washington has
submitted to the revenue agents in
Georgia a list of 54 medicinal prepa
rations, any one of which if handled
by a Georgia druggist, will require pay
ment of the internal revenue tax or li
cense. The list shows under analysis
a sufficient amount of alcohol to re
quire payment of tiffs license tax.
Now anew question has arisen with
druggists. How many of these prepara
tions would fall under the ban of the
!state prohibition law? One druggist
'appeals to Attorney General Hart for
instructions.
Electric Road Seeks Franchise.
Austyh Granville of New York, who

The annual meeting of the GdlVgia
board of embalmers was held in Macon
jthe past week. The principal business
;of the meeting consisted in admitting
1 seven applicants as licensed embalm
'ers.
H. M. Patterson of Atlanta was
again elected president of the board,
and L. H. Burghard of Macon was
made secretary and treasurer.
The applicants who were admitted as
embalmers were H. E. Strong of At
lanta, Holt Waterhouse of Macon, E.
D. Newsome of Augusta, W. A. Curry of
Valdosta, H. F. McCoy, Robert Harri
son and Sarah Watson.

n success by Vice President C. B.
Chapman of Macon, Secretary R. B.
Daniel of Valdosta, Treasurer J. C.
Wardlaw of Milledgeville and by State

Cotton School Work Endorsed.
The 103 farnjers attending the Uni
versity Cotton School adopted resolu
tions in which they stress the import
ance of education and the good work
being done by the University Cotton
School. The resolutions conclude as
follows:
“Inasmuch as the income of the
sta<e is approximately $5,000,000 ja
year, it is certainly not asking too
much that one-hundredth part of this
revenue bo set aside for the malnte
nane of agricultural education, which
Is the backbone of the state.”
Hon. J. J. Connor, president of the
Georgia Agricultural Society, chairman
,of the board of trustees of the agricul
tural college connected with the uni
versity, and also author of the bill
which authorized the appropriation of
SIOO,OOO for the foundation of that col
lege, slates that the great success of
the cotton school during its Initial ses
sion will undoubtedly result in an ex
tension of the time for the next term.
The interest in the school is growing
by leaps and bounds all over the state.

less more funds are secured whereby
to continue this important associa
tion.
He states that those expected to con
tribute most largely to its support-, the
farmers, have failed to do so.
One of these circulars went to Pres
ident Harper of the Cotton Seed Crush
ers Association of Georgia and another
to Secretary Wallace at his home in
Augusta. These officers have, at once,
taken up the work of rescuing the
dairymen’s association by having the
members of the Cotton Seed Crushers
Association in Georgia take out mem
bership and contribute to its support.
Should the Georgia Dairy and live
Stock Association have to disorganize
for lack of support, it would be noth
ing short of a calamity, to not only
the farmers wha are feeding and rais
ing cattle, but to those who manufac
ture products that are extensively used
in connection therewith, for it is well
known that cotton seed meals and hulls
are the best and cheapest stock food
cn the market.

At 8:30 o’clock Saturday night the
