More Fertilizers This Henr.
The fertilizer trade is all over Tor the
season and it now appears that the FARMERS
of the state of Georgia are going TO use en-
siderably more of the stuff this year IMAM
last 1t is well known that last year was
noted for the small quantity of comtnefClai
fertilizers engaged by the farmers IN TINS
state though it not so remarkable
in this respect as was the year previous.
This year the farmers seem to be using
more than last year 1t - true nfN nt' H.
less that the quantity is Tar below the
amount of former years. The increase OF
acreage this year may have something 10
do with it. but ii is more than likeiy tlat
the cause is due to the fact that the lar
mers are going to use more fertilizers under
corn and grain crops this year than usual.
1t is thought by farmers VINO were in the
agricultural office yesterday, that there Wlil
be but little increase in the acreage OF the
cotton crop in this state for the ensuing
year. The farmers have found by their eX-
neriences last year and the year before
that the way to get themselves out OF dept
is to raise their family supplies at nome
and cut down their acreage in cotton II
is hardly thought likely that the increase
in the use Of fertilizers in the state this
year means any particular increase IN the
acreage of cotton that is 10 be
Paying OF the Teachers.
Commissioner BradweH Of the education
a! department of state, is busy with the
work of paving off the school teachers

en- due. This is the first time the new rue

general assembly fixing 1t that the teachers

much money can be turned loose over the
! state Just at this time. 1t viii be nea:Y q
