The reason for this deficit grows
cut of the fact that appropriations
are made insadvance and on the basis
of estimated revenue. The legislature
usually counts on certain increase in
tax receipts growing out Of the in
creased valuation of property. Some
times the general assembly oyershoots
the mark. Then a deficit results.
AS a matter Of fact, the income re-
ceived from the rental Of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, from inspection
Of oil and fertilizers, and from special
taxes, furnished enough to keep up
the legislative, executive and judicial
establishments. Then the governor is
authorized to borrow 100000 to meet
casual deficiencies.
But there IS never enough money in
hand to pay the teachers Of the state
their Salaries when due. AS usual, they
must wait until the tax returns begin
to come in during December, To cor
rect this situation, Governor Brown
would. have the constitution of the
state amended so as. to permit an is
sue of 100000 Of bonds to put the
state on its feet.

RATE INCREASE ON GEORGIA ROAD.
After Nov. I, Passenger Fares Wit
Be at Rate Of 2 IL Cents.

Atlanta, Ca The Georgia Railroad
win, beginning November / next,
charge 2 IL cents per mile for trans
'portation OF passengers over its line
instead o fthe q 1-4-cent rate, hereto
fore charged.
Authority for this increase was
granted by the railroad commission
of Georgia by a unanimous vote.
The Georgia Railroad has made
several attempts to have the railroad
commission grant it authority to
charge a 2 1.2-cent rate, but has here
tofcre been unsuccessful. In its pc
tition 1t sets forth that rate of 2 IA
cents was unreasonably low, and not
fairly compensatory; that the Central
of Georgia, Atlantic Coast Line and
other roads serving the same territory
were allowed to charge the higher
rate.
Mr.. Gambler in his decision dismiss
es the claim of discrimination grow
ing out of the lower rate which the
Georgia Railroad is now permitted to
charge, as compared with other roads
in that territory. He holds the argu-
ment 1lntenable and sets forth that
the commission fixes rates on each
sroad" in the state. He shows that
different freight tariffs are charged
and no claim of discrimination is
made on that account.

FERTILIZER BULLETIN.
Tags for ss&@5 Tons Were sold Dur
inc the season.

Atlanta, Ga. Commissions Of Az
Yiculture T. G. Hudson is sending out
the fertilizer bulletin for the season
bf' lS08-19OS, which shows that tags
have been sold for SS4,2S5 tons Of fer
tiliers, and cotton seed meal for use
In Georgia this year. The department
has no way of knowing how much
is actually used, except by the
amount Of tags sold This represents
an income to the department OF agri-
culture of something like $4,000. At
ter all expenses OF inspection are paid
by the department, the law requires
that the balance Of this sum shall
be apportioned among the eleven dis
trict agricultural colleges of the state.
The season just CLOSING has been
unusually heavy, as there were 2,274
brands of fertilizers inspected during
this season, as against 1922 OF last
season, which, according to Or. r.
p, tSallingS state chemist, is the
heaviest laboratory work done since
the establishment of this department.
In his remarks, Commissioner Hud-
son, says, in part: I'VE are glad TO
report that, IN the main, there Is an
improvement of business copditons IN
Georgia, as compared with last year.
Unless there. is change In the pres
ent outlook, our cotton crop will very
probably be somewhat short OF that OF
last season in acreage and yield. Sci
dom has there been better prospect
for a fine yield of cotton in South
Georgia, and the small grains also
show an increase In acreage and in
yield" He concluded his splendid
address with an appeal to the farm
ers of Georgia to place their farms
upon a businesslike and selE-sustain-
ing basis.
This bulletin contains number Of
the best fertilizer formulas known at
the department. and It is interesting
to know that practically every one OF
them includes cotton seed meal as one
of the principal ingredients for com
mercial fertilizers.
Cotton seed meal, too, Is being sold
throughout the state under the pure
food law as a cattle feed, for its
value as such is even greater thar
as a component part Of a commercial
fertilizer in that the manure OF cat
tie fed with cotton seed meal is az
good for fertiliziing purposes as the
original cotton seed meal.

REMEDY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE.
Black Fungus is Said to BE Enemy
of Dreaded Pest. .H

Atlanta, Cain the accidental dis
coyery of the black fungus, peach
growers believe they have at last
found successful remedy. for the
San Jose scale, one of the. worst foes
Of the orchard. ..@@es b
This fungus was first discovered in
Florida, where orange growers used it
in combating a certain infection in
their groves. 1t grows on the limbs
of trees, and produces a light feathery
growth which the wind blows to other
trees. This growth, thus blown by
the wind, lands on the scale-infected
trees and kills the scale.
Hitherto orchardmen have depended
on sprays to kill the scale. This
method is not infallible, and is very
expensive. The fungus eliminates ex-
pense and works its own cure with
out aid.
