HEAVY SENTENCES
FOR LAW VIOLATORS
Judge Miller Firm Against Lii
quOr Makers and Boot
leggers.

Judge Miller spent a part of the
forenoon Friday in passing sentence
upon a number of defendants who
had been convicted of crimes by the
jury and those who had entered pleas
of guilty when arraigned.
From the heavy sentences passed
it is evidently the Judges intention
to break up the unlawful making
and selling of liquor in this county.
Two of the defendants who entered
pleas of guilty to selling liquor each
received a sentence of $500.00 and
80 days in Jail, and four convicted of
making liquor were sentenced to the
state penitentiary. Three of the num-
Der for one year each and the other
one for two years.
The grand jury finished its busi-
ness, made its final report and were
discharged, under the thanks of the
court.

Diversihcation of Crops Demonstrated
Looking back to 1920 we note
many important things that are SOL
aclng as to cotton, and brimful of
encouragement for the future. The
facts in mind are those elected by a
comparison of property values and
crop production in 1920 and in 1913.
We have seen that, in 1920, the
value of property on the digest was
in excess of that of 1913 in the sum
of SASS, 453,044. The value of the
total property, returned for taxa
ton. in 1920 exceeded that of 1913
by $479,629,944. Good!
The record further shows that. in
1920, Georgia produced 13,477, 900
bushels of corn; 100000 bushels of
oats; 100000 bushels of wheat:
10000 bushels of rye; 4,O16, 900
bushels of peanuts; $4,000 bushels of
rice; $4,000 bushels of Irish pota-
toes and 6,549,000 bushels of sweet
potatoes MORE than in 1913.
Those are the eight leading food
crops. In addition, Georgia produced,
in 1920, 100000 tons of hay and
14,220,000 pounds of tobacco MORE
than in 1913. There you have strik-
ing results of crop diversitication.
The foregoing statements are true
to the record-a record of which all
Georgians may well be proud.

2.-The movement begun in
Brooks county will be carried to
every! county in the state, where
farmers will be asked to take SIM
liar action in self-defense.
3.-That the newspapers os the
state. will be asked to assist in the
campaign to prevent farmers from
paying exorbitant prices for fertili-
GERS this year.
4.-That the farmers will sit
steady in the boat and will not fix
price, passing the buck directly to
the fertilizer dealers who must make
the first move.
These salient facts were emphati-
cally pointed to in number of ad-
dresses made by farmers, who de-
clared they would not buy single
pound at present prices. That the
farmers will keep faith with their
resolution was evident without ques-
ton to even a casual observer at the
mass meeting Saturday.
STRONG RESOLUTIONS
The question of prices had been
thoroughly discussed when the fol-
lowing resolution was introduced and
adopted with enthusiasm
Whereas, at mass meeting of
the farmers of the county held
last Saturday, it was unanimous
ly decided that no fertilizers
would be bought by us during
the present year at the scale

Brooks County Farmers Say
Fertilizers Are Too High!

The death kneel of fertilizer sales
in Brooks county at present prices
was again sounded on Saturday af-
ternoon when the leading farmers
held their 'secoRd mass meeting to
protest against What they term the
fertilizer trust.
Not only did the mass meeting en-
phatically re&ffirm the pledge made
the week before that no fertilizers
would be bought until price salts
factory to the farmers should be
made, but by resolution the meeting
determined to make the protest move
ment statewide.
A resolution was adopted calling on
every county in the state to hold
mass meetings and adopt resolutions
protesting against prohibitive fertil-
izer prices and pledging the farmers
not to buy unless satisfactory re-
duction should be made.
Another resolution was passed
Saturday, requesting the newspapers
of the state to use their influence, ed
itorially and news columns, in g
campaigns of publicity to further the
interests of the farmer in the state
wide movement.
The meeting Saturday was marked
by a record attendance of the most
progressive farmers in the county
and by an earnestness~and serious
intent which made the occasion one
of vital import. Every vote was un'
animously cast and every word spo.
ken was in harmony with the purpose
for which the meeting was called
At the close of the two hour confer
ence the following striking result:
were apparent:
1.-The farmers will not buy any
fertilizers this year in Brooks county
until the price is reduced to figure
which will be accepted by them IL

all the crops except cotton had been
harvested-cotton so distressingly
low in price.
1920, less radical in the matter of
abnormalcy than 1919, is a desirable
year for use in a comparison with a
genuinely normal year, say 1913.
Only a few crops will be used in the
comparison for the reason that a
number which figured in 1919 and
1920 are not of record for 1913.
Eight of the leading bushel crops will
be laid under contribution for the
purpose in view:
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1921-02-18

In a recently published statement,
in which a group of facts, touching
crop values in the United States and
in Georgia, 1920 and 1919, was pre-
sented, the writer hereof directed at
tention to the important fact that in
the presence of radically abnormal
conditions, such as controlled, vi ct
arms, as it were, up to the middle of
1920, it was impossible to arrive at
a just conclusion when studying the
agricultural and the industrial pro-
gress of a great country like ours.
The assertion was ventured that,
in such a study, comparison of crop
values could not prove to be other
than a barren ideality--misleadi
and unfair.
For example,: A comparison be-
tween the crop values of perfectly
normal and representative year such
as 1913 and crop values Of so abnor-
NAL year as 1919, would result in
nothing more than a statement show
ing the excess values of the abnormal
year in which latter the dollar of
1913 had lost much of its purchasing
power-really functioning on a basis
of five-eighths (62hc) of the pre-
war dollar.
1t was respectfully submitted that
a comparison of bulk crops, i. e.,
those reckoned by bushels, would give
a much clearer insight into the actual
status of affairs; that to sum up crops
thus reckoned for 1920 and 1919,
would show the situation as it relates
to farm homes.
This is particularly true in the pres
ence of the market situation as to
cotton, the price of which has ruled,
is ruling, far below the cost of pro-
duction.
THE COTTON SITUATION
is more prominent and compelling
than in the history of the great staple.
Cotton growers, merchants and bank
ers are eXerting themselves in every
practicable way for the betterment
of the cotton producers and the people
generally. / am confident that plans,
wise in every detail, will be developed
that will compass the situation at
every point.

side of the shield in Georgia these as
surfing facts were brought out: That
in 1920, Georgia produced 100000
bushels of corn; 100000 bushels of
oats; 2,566,00O bushels of peanuts
$4,000 bushels of Irish or white pota-
toes; 100000 bushels of sweet pota-
toes; 1000 bushels of soy beans;
1,128,000 bushels Of apples and 3d.
600 tons of hay MORE than in 1919.
1t was shown that the bulk crops Of
1920-those reckoned by bushels
exceeded the corresponding crops of
1919 by 100000 bushels; that, if
the minus" crops of 1920 were de-
Quoted from the total just given, the
