Legislation as Will Meet
The Deflciency
A joint statement signed by Theo
dore N. Vail, President of the Ameri
can Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, representing the Bell System,
and by George W. Robinson, Presi
dent of the United States Independ

ing the independent telephone inter
ests of the country, was delivered to
each member of the United States
Senate and House of Representatives
on May 19th, when Congress conven

The statement outlines the present
status of the telephone properties,
now under Government possession,
control and operation, and indicates
the need of remedial legislation by
Congress in order that the telephone
properties may be returned by the
Government to their owners, and ex

Congress and the officials of the Gov
ernment in considering this matter.
The statement follows:
“Washington, May 19, 1919.
“To the Members of the Senate and
House of Representatives—
“On midnight July 31, 1918, under
the authority of Congress for war
purposes, the President took super
vision, possession, control, and opera
tion of the telephone systems of the
country and has since operated them.
The war has practically ceased. The
public press is strongly demanding,
the general public and the owners of
the telephone properties are urging
that they be returned as speedily as
possible, that former conditions may
be restored and more satisfactory
service be afforded. The President

and the Postmaster-General have an
nounced that this will be done as soon
'as adequate arrangements be prov
vided for receiving and advantage
ously operating them. It remains on
ly for Congress to enact such legisla
tion as speedily as possible.”
“The expenses of these systems
have largely increased dyring the past
year, for wages alone at the rate of
more than $20,000,000 per annum.
This was inevitable and necessary by
reason of larger proportional in
creases by railroads and industries in
the country. The revenues are inad
equate to care for such increases, and
the deficit of the Government on that
account to date is large and steadily
increasing. The Postmaster-General
ordered that steps be taken to secure
adequate revenues, but contentions
with the regulatory authorities of the
states, not yet settled, have prevent
ed such adjustments.
“If such conditions continue, nec
essarily the credit of the operating
companies will be impaired, proper
expenses cannot be met, the best op
erating forces cannot be retained,
needed extensions and satisfactory
service cannot be provided. A deteri
oration will ensue which.in some lo
calities may threaten a recurrence to
public ownership or operation in ord
er to care, even inadequately, for
public needs. By prompt action con
gress can prevent this contingency.
“Just and speedy settlements
should be made for all properties tak
en under the existing law, that such
balances now in the possession of
the Government may be restored to
assist in the upbuilding and extension
of the various systems for better pub
lic use. The conditions and regu
lation of operation should be clearly
defined so as to permit the companies
to re-establish and maintain a satis
factory service with reasonable rates
without discrimination and procure
the benefits of legitimate competi
tion. The principal operating com
panies of the United States are vitally
interested in co-operating with Con
gress and the officials of the Gov
ernment to accomplish these results.”

;FARMERS ARE MAKING MONEY
| SELLING MILK FOR CHEESE
} One of the new industries of the
state that is forging ahead is cheese
‘making in the mountain counties of
North Georgia. The first factory was
started near Young Harris and in a
short time two others will be in oper
ation. Behind it is an interesting
‘story of how the State College of
Agriculture, co-operating with the U.
S. Department of Agriculture, is
building permanent industries of one
kind and another over the state that
provide markets and assist the farm
er in making more money on the same
land. :
Although Georgia consumes cheese
in such quantities that carload ship
ments are made from Wisconsin,
none has been made in the state nu
til recently. The first factory was
built in the spring of 1918 near
Young Harris and the business start
ed in a small way. L. H. Marlatt,
Athens, Ga., is in charge of the
cheese factory work in the state.
Cheese making soon became a popu
lar industry and the little factory
made good from the first day.
The two new factories that are be
ing built are nearly completed and
part of the machinery installed. One
is located six miles from Young Har
ris and will be known as the ‘“State
Line Cheese Factory.”” The other is
at Cleveland and will be called the
“Cleveland Co-operative Cheese Fac
tory.” These two new buildings will
be improvements over the first one
put up at Young Harris.
The detailed report for April is
most gratifying. The net price per
pound of butterfat received by the
’fm‘mers was 841 cents. Butter is
lselling in that territory at from 20c
‘to 25c¢ per pound. From present in
dications the value of milk received
' this season will be treble what it was
| last year.

CROPS FOR HOGS
If we are to make our own meat
it will be necessary to grow crops
for the hogs to graze off. Rape will
give us the earliest grazing of any
crop that can be planted now. Pre
pare the land well, fertilize well and
sow in rows eighteen inches apart,
sowing about 3 pounds per acre, and
cultivate as for cabbage. Rape will
not succeed on poor land. Oats also
make fine grazing for hogs. So does
sorghum. Turn the hogs on it when
about 2to 3 feet high. But for the
main crops for hogs, plant cowpeas,
peanuts and sweet potatoes. With
these crops pork can be grown cheap
ly and the land will be improved for
subsequent crops.—T. B. Parker, in
The Progressive Farmer.
