which year marked the inception of the syrup growing industry. Tn that year syrup was selling on the streets for 25 cents a gallon. In a few years 1t had dropped to IS cents gallon. But this price was in a measure a blessing in disguise in the opinion of Mir Rod- denberry.
 It had taught the farmers the value of economical and intensive methods and it had taught them that no matter how low the price got in one year it would rally from the depression. At present the price was between 20 and 25 cents a gallon. Because of thia low price MT. Roddenberry was conii- dent that the sugar cane acreage in his section would be cut at least 30 per cent.
 Difficulties of Market.
 Speaking of his experience as an ex- tensive seller of syrup MT. Roddenber- ry said he had found that 1t was ex- tremely difficult to convince the public at large of the purity of cane syrup. He saw drift from the sypup pra- ducers to the proprietors of the syrup refiuers. Tn time he said he believed that the trade would be in the control of the syrup rehners. Mir. Roddenber- ry said that he did not see that any thing could be done except to let lL go and let the men engaged in tho production of syrup turn their atten- tion to the making of sugar. He did not see that there was any practical way of having the syrup placed upon the tables of the country generally.
 He related an experience he had had in Texas in selling syrup. He had made a personal trip through Texas in the interest of his business He found that Shreveport houses dealing in Louisiana molasses were cutting into the trade of the Georgia cane syrup. One firm in Texas to which he had sold in one season no less than 1000 barrels of syrup, gave up his syrup because the Shreveport houses had not only sold them the syrup. but they had employed a travelling man and paid him to drum up trade for that brand of molasses. He found that theso houses were doing the same thing ip other portions of Texas and shutting out all other syrups

 Professor McCandless urged that all the Southern States should pass laws which would be effective in preventing the adulteration of food.
 Professor McCandless endorsed the Georgia law for the inspection of fer tilizers. The excellent crops grown in Georgia, the result from the acreage showed that the fertilizer used was of an excellent quality.
 The speaker heartily favored the Hepburn bill, now pending in Congress. He was fearful that this bill was be- ing so effectively fought that 1t would not get an early consideration ih the Senate. He asked that all that could do so memorabilia the Senate and ask that the bill be passed.
 Professor McCandless reviewed some of his experiences in the work for pure food. He had Investigated the adulteration of the Georgia cane syrup. Tn doing this he purchased in the open market every brand of Georgia syrup. He found that at least 50 per cent of these brands which were sold as pure Georgia cane syrup were adulterated.
 In closing. the speaker drew a strik- ing picture of the great evils that were brought about by the adulteration of food stuffs and of the great need for immediate reform.
