BIG SLUMP IN FERTILIZER
SALES.
Agricultural Department selling only
few Tags. Slump due to Low
Price OF Cottoh.

According to the state agricultural
department fertilizer sales in Georgia
are falling off at al alarming rate.
The sale of fertilizer tags is not near
80 heavy this year as 1t was last, and
this is q sure indication that the vol
ume of business being done by the
fertilizer companies is not neat sogreat
as in 1904.
The great slump in the cotton mar
ket and the determination Of the far
mers to cut down the cotton acreage
and the amount Of fertilizer used is no
doubt responsible for the decrease in
sales. Last year more fertilizer than
ever before in the history of the state
was used, and had not the price Of cot
ton gone, down, there would have been
an increase in the sales this year over
last.
The farmers seem to be getting to-
gether, however, and not only are
they going to cut down the cotton
acreage but the general expenses OF
their farms as well. :,
Professor J. T. Derry, of the agrieul-
tural department, who has charge OF
shipping all the tags, states that the
volume of business this month Is faI
below the same month of last year in
the amount of tags which have been
sold, and it can be inferred from that
that the sales everywhere are on the
decrease.
From other states comes the same
information that the fertilizer sales are
falling off, and that the cotton acreage
is being trimmed down. !

Jackson, Miss, January 12.-Gov-

following statement in regard to the
policy of the state in holding its cotton
and reducing the acreage:
believing that the price for which
cotton is selling today is below the
cost of production, that the low price
was brought about by the persistent
hanmering of the bears, perfectly or.
gapized, the board of control has deter
mined to cooperate with the cotton
planters of the south by withholding
from the market 1000 bales of it's cot
ton. The board of control has deter
mined also to plant more corn. peas
and other foodstuffs and to cut down
the acreage in cotton for the present
year. It is our purpose to raise every
thing on the ~penitentiary that the
convicts eat except a little sugar, coffee

COHONRECEPT
NOW NEGOTIABLE
COMPRESS COMPANIES BE-
LIEVE NEW PLAN SOLVES
THE PROBLEM.
Atlantic Company and Gulf Company
Make Arrangement with Ameri
can Bonding Company where
by Receipts are Guar
antced.

What has been termed a solution of
the cotton situation was yesterday an
nounced by G. g. Hanson, president
of the Gulf Compress Company.
Tie plan, in a word, consists of the
bonding company's guaranty of every
ware house receipts issued by either of
the two companies headed by MI.
Hanson. The leading bankers, a S
and south, have stated that their re-
ceipts, so guaranteed, would be gener-
ally acct pied everywhere as collateral
for loans at from 4 10 6 per cent:
The cost of the guaranty to the own
er of cotton is about 3 cents a bale or q
scarcely appreciate addition TO the
already moderate ware house charges
existing throughout the south. 1t is
generally believed by those 10 whom
the plan has been unfolded that in it
has been found the most practical
means of enabling farmers to borrow
money cheapiy and quickly on what
ever cotton they desire to hold.
The first reque-t for a guaranteed re-
ceipt anne to Mr.. Hanson a week ago
yesterday, but two years ago tue
boards of directors of his companies
foreseeing such conditions as now ex-
list, adopted a resolution authorizing
him to act on his personal authority.
AS soon as possible he held a confer
ence with Mr.. E. Nj. Durant, who rep
resents the American Bonding Com
pany in. this territory. The contract
between the ware house companies
was closed lase Monday and announc-
ed yesterday, a statement accompany
ing the announcement to the effect
that the companies now stood ready
to issue these generally negotiable re-
ceipts.
The ware houses at present operated
by the Atlantic and Gulf Compress
Companies are in the following cities,
there being a number Of warehouses
in most of the cities;

Mr. Hanson stated yesterday that If
desired his company could handle all
the cotton the farmers of the south
might desire to hold, as, he said, when
the business grew he would see that
the ware house facilities of his COM
panies were expanded to meet every
requirement.
The American Bonding Company
has assets amounting to slightly more
than. 1850, 900, and its unadjusted
claims yesterday amounted to just
about $65, 900 all told. The standing
Of the company is something that
ware house receipts guaranteed by it
will he readily accepted as collateral
by eastern banks. In speaking of the
newly launched plan, Mr.. Durant, of
the bonding company, said yesterday:
"The great difficulty in the past has
been TO secur a ware house receipt
negotiable outside of the town or city
where it was issued. This has been
heretofore an insurmountable task on
account of the complications arising
out of the ware house end of it. But
now my company, which has the
strength and standing to guarantee
receipts, has agreed to do so in the
case of two companies"
