The newspapers today express SYM

also that General Kuropatkin, Viceroy

fertilizers. Their present selling
price is based upon an average tax of
% cents throughout the country.
If the fate of agricultural education
in Georgia were not in the balance,
the state should increase this tax
The farmers of Georgia are now
paying a price for fertilizers that will
enable the big companies to pay a
tax of p and 80 cents in other states
The only return received by Georgia
is the 10 cents per ton now charged
for inspection. We are not receiving
our share.
Even if the increased revenue which
comes to Georgia from raising its
tax to the average charged in the
six cotton states in this section should
cause an advance in rates-though
this is far from probable-it would
not be added to the cost of fertilizers
in Georgia. The very slight increase
would apply to every ton of fertili-
Zers sold in these various states
The same price is now quoted in all
and will continue to be-
The truth of these facts, which
have been so strongly brought out by
the advocates of the Martin bill,
should be apparent to the members
Of the senate, as they are to a great
majority of the farmers of Georgia
1t must not be said that Georgia has
not the wisdom to appreciate nor
the patriotism to foster these schools
There is too much at stake to falter
now in the campaign for their
support They are vitality needed and
the state will prosper abundantly
from their operation.
The question is now before the
senate. The committee reporting the
bill was practically evenly divided 1t
is rumored that if a tie vote had
resulted, Chairman Henderson would
have voted to report the measure for
at least a One-year trial.
The measure appears to be a just
and fair one; its advocates declare
it will not be any additional burden
upon the farmer. It's fate is fraught
with grave meaning to the agricultur-
al schools of the state
