Captain J. W. Lindsey, controls sinner of pensions, has completed cd ms annual report for the year endinug December JI, 1908, and has submitted it to Governor Smith. The report shows that the total number of pensioners paid in 1908 was 15,619 at a cost of $927,775,000. The appropria tion made by the legislature for the year was $950,000. leaving a balance now in the treasury ol $22,221.15. The roll for 1908 shows a decrease of 88 ns conipar ed with 1907.

The time was when we over gulleys and send our child eoukl better afford to rock along ren to log school houses than , now. We were struggling to get on our feet for a decade or two after the close of the war. and ; could not do then what we are abundantly able to do now. The fact is the prosecution of our own i business and the enehaneement ol the valuation of our own proper ty demand that we provide bet ter facilities for transportation and that we educate our children that they may meet the oppor tunities of this new and bright er day. Besides, the new and onward movement of those coun ties that have been wise enough to supply themselves with good ■ roads and good schools is an ob ject lesson before our eyes that we can neither gainsay nor re sist.

Atlanta-Governor-elect Brown’s suggestion of a bond issue to pay the common school teachers of the state has moved Comptroller William A. Wright to suggest three alternate plans for accom plishing the same results, and either of these plans would, it ap . pears, obviate the necessity of in creasing the boded indebtedness of the state, which the framers of the constitution forbade. It should be understood, howev that General Wright is not com , nutted.’ to either of the proposi tions nor is he in the attitude of , criticising adversely the sugges tion of governor-elect. He advan , ccs his suggestions simply for what they are worth, and in the belief that they may be of assist . anee in solving the problem of teachers’ pay. Governor-elect Brown, in a . speech at Elberton Saturday, ad vocated the issue of $600,000 worth of bonds, the money to be used to pay the teachers. This would require a constitutional amendment, which the legisla ture would have to submit to the , people. Here are General Wright s sug gestions : First, take the $240,000 which has already been derived from the tax on the manufacture and sale of '•near-beer"and set aside each year any other money that may be derived from the tax. ' In two or three years' time, at the remotest, the state would be enabled to pay up the indebted ness to the teachers. Second, take the yearly increase in revenue derived from the in crease in tax values, which, in 1907, amounted to $350,000, and set aside the fund until suffieent has been accumulated to accom plish the desired result. Third, amend the constitution by authorizing the governor to borrow $600,000. instead of lim iting him to $200,000, as is now the ease. Teachers' Institute.

Maintain Soil Fertility No farmer ought to be satis fied with leaving his farm a lit tle worse off with every crop. He ought to leave it a little better off He ought to supply the nourish ment in one form that he takes from the soil in another form. Consider the soil of your farm as your bank. You must put into it a little more than you take out of it if you want to preserve your credit and protect your fut ure. Do not be satisfied with being a poor farmer. If you are go ing to be a good farmer you must know what the best farm ers are doing everywhere, and the best farmers, either through commercial fertilizers or through their plant crops, are enriching their soils year by year. Remember thiat with each erop you harvest you have taken some ingredient out of the soil that must be replaced if you are going to maintain the fertility of your farm. Intelligent tillage, intelligent farming, leaves a farm better every year after you have har vested' your crop, but if you are constantly drawing on the re sources of fertility and putting nothing in its place, the value of your farm will steadily de cline. Cultivate crops, therefore, that increase the soil's fertility; farm wisely a.’ijl sagaciously, wasting nothing; then adu u th?. soil some commercial fertilizer to make good any of the loss. Study the subject with your neighbors, with your county conventions and societies, with the director of your experimental station. Find out what will make the next year’s crop greater.—Home and Farm. Union Warehouses Consolidated. Definite steps toward controll ing the situation in Georgia by amalgamating all the warehouses in the state were taken when representatives of the Farmers Union and managers and stock holders of the industrial ware houses met in Atlanta recently and perfected the organization of the. Union Consolidated! Ware house Coinpßny and elected its officers and directors. The organization of the ware house company with its control of more than one hundred formerly independent warehouses, is the most significant action yet taken by the farmer in adopting busi ness methods to protect himself from the speculators and enforce his rights. It will eliminate the embarrassment which has hereto fore been experienced in handling Hue cotton crop in Georgia and will extend the marketing of cot ton over a sufficient period to insure fair prices. The warehouse company also proposes to assign warehouse receipts in the nature of collat eral for such loans as will tide the holder of cotton over a period of financial stringency and will thus save him from the necessi ty of disposing of his cotton at a sacrificial price. The details of the plans under which the organization shall be operated have not all been work ed out. Time is necessary in which to perfect them, but the amalgamated warehouse will be ir operation next fall instead ol the individual warehouses which have operated in the past.
