Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-04-11

It is a very good thing for Messrs.
Candidate. Politician and Company
that this is an "off year" politically IN
Georgia. for it is evident that the far
mers are buster than usual with their
crops nowadays. and when crop plant
ing and cultivating IS extensive, then
the voting invariably is light, and
the consequent results most uncer-
tain.
Reports received at the Georgia
state College of Agriculture from the
sixty odd farm demonstration agents
working throughout the state reveal
that oats and other small grain crops
In Georgia are in an unusually -four
ishing condition: that farmers are be-
hind with planting and soil prepare %
ton. but not as far behind as at this
time last year; that greater interest
than ever is now eing taken in get
ting good seed tC plant, the demand
for which is great = than can be sup
piled: and that 1ore farmers than
ever before are tanning crop rota-
lions and mixing ertiliZers at home.
With these ia is established, and
the cotton crop well under way, il
is evident that Uncle Reuben ism
going to burden his mind with any
thing in particular of political per-
suasion this year.
James d. Price. of Oconee, after a
two days visit to Atlanta, returned
to his home in Pennington to-day.
Mr.. Price will be sworn in as Com
missioner of Agriculture in July, but
will make no announcements with re

swearing in,
Tax values in Georgia, including
corporation property, SUCH as thaI
owned by railroads and similar or
CARNATIONS, show an increase in 1917
over 1911 of S29,019.904
This increase should add a hand
some penny to the states income
this year.
A well known Georgian. recently
returned from a trip to Washington
saws a Georgia Congressman told hln
that more than 1900 Georgians al
ready have applied for office under
the new administration, and that eN-
cry mail brings new applications. IN
That is one reason why II Is 50
pleasant to be d Georgia Congress
man at this time.
