SOIL COMMITTEE OF
SENATE APPROVES
AULT'S PROBE BILLS

Thirteen bills embodying the result
OF the Ault investigation of the state
Gepar .ment of agriculture have been
approved bv the senate's agricultural
committee and will be fixed as special
order in the upper house within the
next few days
The measures. sponsored by Senators
Harris. Bush and Cromartie, senate
members Of the Ault committee con-
template a complete revision of the
laws now governing the agricultural de-
partment especially in the handling of
oil and fertilizer inspection. Laws now
governing the inspection of food are
amplified and the commissioner of ag-
riculture is held to a strict accounting
as to mis- appointments.
On Monday Atlanta fertilizer manu-
facturers will pack the senate galleries
to watch the fate of Senator Ballock's
fertilizer bill This measure, which
prohibits the use of artificial filing in
fertilizer, will, the dealers maintain, cut
into their profits considerably.
