TO PROTECT SUGAR CANE.
Ed Eiaa sse.. Intfaduaed by Repr.

Bill Hae Bseit introduced by Repre-
sentative Rrln@tn.
an important bill has been intro
duced in the house by MIR. Brinson Of
Decatur county. looking to the protec-
ton of the sugar cane industry in
Georgia. The intention Of the meas
ure is to compel all articles sold as
Georgia cane syrup, when in fact they
are authorizations, to be so marked.
From an agricultural standpoint the
measure is one of the most important
that has yet been introduced in the
house and it's author in discussing its
merits says:
Il have had for some time under
consideration the Introduction Of such
bill, and do not hesitate to say
that in my opinion the future develop
ment of the sguar cane industry in this
state depends largely on the fate of
this bill. 1t is not generally known
but 1t is true, that in more than two
thirds of the states in the union Geor-
gia cane syrup is excluded solely be.
cause Of the authorizations. Dealers in
the large towns of this anu other
states pay 80 cents for our syrup, ship
it away, reboil it ad reshi~ 10 us al
less laan they at first gave for it.
There is something radically wrong IN
this, and everybody knows that it will
take rigid Legislation to correct it. |
have therefore drafted my bill with
the idea of suppressing the habit OF
mixing syrup ana selling it as the
genuine article. If properly protected
the syrup industry of south Georgia
will soon be the chief one, and GER
tainly it is more profitable one than
tle production of cotton. One acre of
fairly good cane will produce 900 gal
Ions OF syrup, this sold at 35 cents per
gallon, the present price, is $210 per
acre, and with proper attention the
farmer cannot clear less than 500 per
acre under the most adverse circum-
stances. Hence | am interesting my
self in the passage Of t.As bill, and il
/ secure it | shall consider That have
served the interests Of my constlttu-
ency ana added materially to the agri-
cultural needs OF south Georgia"

with the idea of ascertaining the prop

motive.
