CRUDE PHOSPHATE
To Be REGISTERED
Or Sale Must Be Stopped, Says
Wilkinson
JAILS ARE CONDEMNED
Bib, Greene, Lowndes, Tuscaloosa
and Hale County Prisons Are In
adequate, Says State Inspector
Bush-Cannot Reduce Tax.

Montgomery, February 27.-(Special.)-
The sale of crude phosphate rock must
stop in the state, save as it is regis
tered and comes under the laws of the
state with regard to this kind of pro-
duct It is held by the commissioner
of agriculture that there is less than 81
per ton available fertilizer product, yet
the rock is being sold for $3.50 he says.
According to Commissioner Wilkinson the
O6S of citrate soluble phosphoric acid
is the only ingredient that will at once
become soluble, though in years to come
the balance may break up.
"There is now" says Mr.. Wilkinson,
'being shipped into this state a lot of
untreated phosphate rock, commonly
called floats Last season there was
so little of this on the market in Ala
bama that we did not require it regis
tered, but now, the quantity being sold
TO our farmers has so largely increased
that we from this time forward will re-
quire all brands of this phosphate rock
or floats to be registered; and further,
no dealer can sell the same unless it is
first tagged, as required by law for all
other fertilizers and fertilizer materials.
OF course this does not apply when
shipped direct to mixers. Unless this
order is vigorously enforced our farmers
are liable to suffer by being imposed
upon"
Demand for Jals.
State Jail and Mill Inspector Bush has
condemned the jails of Bibb, Greene,
Lowndes, Tuscaloosa and Hale counties,
in each case the inspector holding that
the prisons are not such as to make
them fit places for men and women sent
to them for confinement. He is especial
ly hard on Lowndes, pointing out that
1t is in every way unfit for service. Bel
ter ventilation and improvements are sug-
gested in Dallas, Perry and Pickens coun-
ties.
In the main the almshouses are held
to be fair, but the inspector suggests
that the plan of Jefferson county in buy
ing lands and looking after the poor be
used when possible and when not use the
salary system, this being the best he
thinks for those who are needy. The
recommendations are made in reports re-
leased Saturday to the governor. DR.. c.
F. Bush, the inspector, has made careful
inquiry and thinks that the jails are in
many cases almost wholly inadequate TO
the work demanded of them.
