Ql’kstxos.—I am a farmer, and like
thousands of others, feel luterestod iu
tiio work of the Department of Agri
culture. In your monthly answers to
questions giro me some information on
this subject. I« the department an ex
ponce or a source of revenue to the
state? This is not strictly an agricult
ural question, but it is strictly business,
ami the farmers want information ou U.
Answ'hh L—Answering your speoiflo
question first, the State Agricultural
Department, si) far from being an es
pouse to the state, has paid luto tho
treasury, for the benefit of the school
fund, something like $750,000. At first
the inspection too was 60 cents a torn
The fertilize? business had uot reached
its present magnitude, aud it was
thought that 50 cents a ton would about
pay tha expenses of running tho depart
ment. The idea of a revenue from this
source was not thou thought of. But
the sale of fertilizers iuoroased Tory
rapidly, and the ingpeotion foe was con
sequently reduced to 10 cents, an
amount so smigl that the seller cannot
claim auy additional price for the fertil
izers aud yet it protect* the consumer,
aud in the aggregate the department
puts into tho treasury a clear aunual
profit. inspector's That is after every expense,
salaries, Inspector's expeu
ees, tags, bottles, express oharges, pub
lications, salaries of commissioner, his
Clerks, state chemist aud two assistants,
have all beCu paid, tho state is a gainer
by between $20,000 and $430,000 each
yoar. This result has been accom
plished by the 1 exercise of the utmost
care ami economy in the management
of the affairs of the department Tlie
business; of the office has increased tre
mendously since 1890, whou the present
commissioner took chargo.
2. The work of the chemical depart
meat has ui!, re than doubled. In 1889-
80 there were 538 analyses; in 1893-97
1,068 analyses, and the number of brands
increased from 440 to 1,178. One of the
first changes made by the pres snt com
missioner was to bring the chemical de»
pavtineut to Atlanta. The laboratory is
now in the eapitol and nli the analyses
are conducted there.
3. Inspecting is no longer done in bulk
at the factories. The system of inspecting
inaugurated by the present commissioner
is the best af any state in tho Union, •
although tho inspection fee of 10 cents
is tho smallest of auy state. 'Inspectors
are forbidden to take samples until after
the fertilizers leave the factories. They
get their samples from farmers’ wagons,
on the cars, in the merchants’ ware
houses, etc., but always after the goods
havp left the hands of the manufactur
ers and are on sale. By this method
the entire state is oaref ally covered, and
it is an extremely difficult matter to sail
spurious goods in Georgia. But for this
careful and thorough inspection the
state would lie flooded with worthless
fertilizers and the farmers suffer in con
sequence.
. 4 Another reform inansr.rated !rr the
! presp •.Gf»’n v; !>; fbe r«.iootiou
of iha annual pay of Tortilizer ins pec
tors flow {1,500 to {1,000 each, auu In
I stead of keeping a large force ou doty
'■ all the time, only four are appointed for
[ the full time, the others are employed
during the busy season, ami when the
pressure is removed they ore discharged,
Thus, though the sale of fertilizers and
] tho consequent Increased work tremendously, of the inspector* the
have both
cog { ig about the same, and until the
unprecedented sains of fertilizers the
past sea ,on, the oo:it of inspecting -wa*
actually less than formally.
5 . Under the present administration
of tbs department, the pay of the oil in
spectors has been so reduced that
whereas formerly the state did not re
ceive one cent from thl* source the pres
cut commissioner has been able to put
$85,000 into the treasury after oil ex
pense, have been paid.
7. Although the office work of the
j department lias doubled and trebled
aU i oe the present commissioner took
i charge, the office expenses are several
j hundred dollars less each year now than
then. The increased work is done by
the same number of clerks, three, and
: thoir combiuod salaries have bean re
duced from $4 500 to $3,720, an aunual
rod notion of #780 in cierk litre. Until
last yoar tho saving in clsrk hire was
i 0Ter $i,000 each year, but owiug to iu
creased work ami responsibility tho sal.

| S. Besides the "Monthly Talks and
Answers to Questions,” which are pub
ij g ^ 0( j by the weekly press throngh-
1 out ( ho state, tho commissioner has
; prepared and issued thousand* of
pamphlets and books, giving infoma
j tion aa to the resources of Georgia.
| These books and pamphlets have been
j sent throughout the north aud west,
hat so great has been tho demand for
thorn that it has boon impossible to
fully meet it.
7. Iu the matter of buying tags the
(K>mmi»«loaer has been hampered by
the fact that the state printer olaimed’
this as one of his perquisites, aud in
this he was sustained by the priuting
committee. Notwithstanding this fact,
the commissioner demanded a reduc
tion iu the price and succeeded in re
ducing it from £3 .00 to ?1.60 per 1 , 00 ft
Ftualiy he ajtpcaloil to the attorney
general and was advised that he oould*
make the purchase wherever ho pleased.
Proceeding on this authority he entered
into negotiations for obtaining the tags
cheaper, aud thou advertised for sealed
bids. Tho first firm which received the
contract failed to comply with the terms,
so also tho second, and after a third ad
vertising for bids tho contract was
finally awarded to the Donisou Manu
facturing company, at 45 cents per 1 , 000 .
