The Tariff Tax.

The Republican National Commit
tee publishes statement in Whleh
it shows that the average per capita
collection for ninetythree millions
Of people through the custom house
is S3.46. If each voter represents
five persons, he pays into the nation
al government $3.50 upon goods
actually imported into the country,
and as we have got to provide for
government expenses some way,
there is no actual loss to the people
upon actual Importation.
Their statement is an appeal to
voters and is deceptive in an attempt
to induce the voter to believe that
the tariff only costs him $3.46, and
that all the pr ,ceeds of it are paid
into the national treasury.
In the first instance the importer
pays the custom dues, freight brok-
erage, etc, which he adds to his for
elSn Cost, together Will q piul'S ADi
himself, and thus establishes the do
mestic price. There will BIO no inn
portations unless a domestic price
level can be established sufficiently
high to cover foreign cost, these
charges and a profit TO the importer.
The fewer goods imported, the less
revenue the government receives
The more goods imported, the greater
the revenue. The tariff tax with al
the other charges is ultimately PAID
by the consumer Of the importation
There is a further deception in the
statement of the Republican nationa
committee, in that 1t leaves out o.
consideration, and so far as it can
conceals the fact that our importa
tions constitute a very small percent
age of the domestic consumption o

these commodities are sold at approx

PROMOTING COOPERATION
THROUGH FARMERS INSTITUTES

they are entitled the situation will soon
adjust itself
1t is proposed also to institute a cam
paign during the winter and summer
of the ensuing year through the agen-
cy of the College of Agriculture look
ing toward the establishment of coop
reative organizations among Georgia
farmers. This work will be pursued in
so far as possible through the agen-
cy OF the extension department and the
farmers Institute branch in particular.
Farmers Institutes have been held in
Georgia for several years and they.
seem now to enjoy the confidence of our
farmers as shown by the fact that 127
county meetings held last year were at
tended by $4,000 farmers. Institutes
are organized on county unit basis but
there should be local Institutes in every
county which should act as community
centers. The local institute organiza-
ton should be correlated with che
state institute. Thus there is a line of
communication from the small group
center to the organization will act as
a clearing house for the advice and in
formation Of the farmer. Until recent
" no special effort has been made to
cause Of the lack of funds. neither has
an attempt been made to prepare by
laws governing the organization Of
county Institutes until quite recently.
A plan looking to this end is now under
advfsement and the college hopes at an
early date TO be in position to outline
plans for the establishment of coop
erative clubs based on the lines fol-
lowed so successfully by groups Of
farmers iR other states. This. il is be-
lieved. will tend more towards the es-
adjustment of the true spirit Of Coop
Grafton than anything else that can be
done at present.
II is also intended to have the sub
iect of buying and selling cooperative
~ discussed by speakers at the insti-
tutds held during the winter and sum-
mer OF the year 1913. No doubt these
discussions will do much to inform the
public and to promote the cooperative
spirit which must be developed in COM
munity before successful results in
practice can be expected. In the mean
time the College of Agriculture will act
as a clearing house for farmers who de-
sire information along this line and
will endeavor in every way to give. in
formation and advice which will tend to
promote the welfare of the producer
and bring him in proper relation with
the consumer An effort will also be
made to distribute literature which viii
be of assistance. A series of articles
on cooperation will be prepared and
given as wide publicity as possible
through the press. An endeavor will
be made to have this important subject
discussed through the schools and thus
impress upon the youth of the state the

is the amount of plant food you would
need to return to the soil to keep up
a fair degree of fertility. on most Of
our Georgia lands phosphorfc acid is
deficient, On very sandy lands potash
is. present in too small a quantity to
make the land rated as a fertile soil.
On this account it is important in a
cotton fertilizer to emphasize the per-
centage of phosphorus and sometimes
potash as well. Our experience cover
ing a good many years leads us to be-
lieve that on loamy lands 93-4 formu-
la will be found very satisfactory,
though a 9-3-5 will be better for sandy
lands In addition some nitrate of soda
may be used as a top dressing II sea-
sonal conditions and the development of
the plant seem to indicate that it needs
an additional supply of nitrogen for its
perfect development. On any, cotton
farm which is to be permanently sue
cessful in the future a rotation of crops
must be adopted and one to two green
crops plowed under every third to fifth
year to supply the needed vegetable
matter 1t will be necessary to furnish
the phosphorus ana potash in mineral
form from outside sources.

The urgent need OF farmers learning
a cooperate effectively in buying and
selling is everywhere apparent 1t may
be stated with good authority that it
cost from IS cents to 81 cents out Of
every dollar to place the products of the
farm in the hands Of the consumer. This
condition. may justly be termed outra-
-oous ana accounts in larse measure for
the evidences OF discomfort seen among
farmers. There is no reason why such
conditions should continue 10 exist but
IL the situation is TO be adjusted sat
isfactorily some different means OF pre-
pairing and marketing farm products
must be arrived at in the near future
few years ago the farmers OF the
eastern shore Of Virginia engaged IN
tie growing Of Irish and sweet potatoes
were almost bankrupJed because they
had no organization for the marketing
Of their products. hence when the crop
utatured one 10 twenty-five cars as
the case might be OF Irish or sweet
POTATOES we're dumped on the same local
market Naturally the commission men
were in high feather. The market-was
glutted and they bought at their prices
while the farmer sometimes barely re-
ceIved in return the freight charges on
his shipment After this state Of af-
fairs continued for a few years the far
ufers got together and formed a CO.
Operative organization and since that
date they have received a steadily in
creasing price for their potatoes and are
in a more prosperous condition at the
present than ever before This result
was brought about by the farmers or
eaniziuE an exchange which distributed
their crops to those sections OF the cOun-
try demanding them at profitable prices
Thus 4 gluttony Of the market was
avoided and prices were steadily main
tanned throughout the year.
This organization not only increased
the returns to the growers to a very
marked degree but enabled the produ-
Ger TO buy his fertilizer and other sup
plies at a greatly reduced cost The
men who organized this exchange were
good average farmers such as may be
found In almost any community
: throughout the south. They enjoyed no
special advantage over farmers in other
localities. hence. what they did so sue
cessfuIly may be followed with profit
by the planters OF other sections. The
question of the grower receiving an ade-
uuate proportion Of the price paid by
the consumer for the necessities of life
IS now one OF our Nivelisst issues and
attention has recently been so strongly
centered on this matter that the present
seems a most opportune time for pro-
noting cooperative organizations among
farmers How NAV this be accomplished

selves can DO more TO promote these
organizations than anyone else. fer If
they give them the support to which
