BLUM St CO., 517-519 W. Bay Street, Jacksonville, Florida ADVESTISE 1 IN THE REASON IT PAYS. (*<>n<*(‘rn in the Southern states which does not do an interstate business, and the pool or combination agreement between them all forces those of Georgia to take into consideration not simply the tax of this State, but of all the States where their commodities ■ are sold. This done, an average is struck and this is added to the price at which fertilizers may be sold in Georgia. Georgia's fertilizer tax of ten cents per ton is lower than Alabama's by twenty cents, than Arkan sas'. North and South Carolina's bv fifteen cents, but the farmers of Georgia do not get much benefit from it. as the other states' share is so much greater. The producers' rate in this State is not ten cents, but twenty-live cents, the average rate 1 where the com modities are sold. Who gets this additional fifteen cents paid by the farmers of Georgia? The farmers of South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Arkansas. Raise the tax in Georgia to twenty-five cents per ton and it would bring up the average in the states mentioned to twenty-six cents, as against twenty-five cents as at present. This would cause tin 1 other states, all except Alabama, the loss of their advan tage over us. It would raise a revenue of over $200,- 000 for our schools, tremendously important schools, in which the money already invested will be of no avail unless capital necessary to operate them is pro vided.
