as EGG HATCHERIES
NOW IN STATE
Ga. Still Producing Les Than
Half Her Needs In Poultry
And Eggs
ATHENS. November 90

ATHENS, November 26.-Forty-
five hatcheries with a capacity of
532, 800 eggs are now iii operation
in the state, according to state
ment bv ]. H. Wood, professor of
poultry and husbandry at the State
College of Agriculture. This rep
resents an increase of more than
600 over last year and indicates
some Of the progress made under
the new agricultural program
throughout the state.
"More than S4O,O0o,GO0 worth
of poultry products were consumed
in the state last year." stated Pro
lessor Wood, "and less than half
this amount was produced here.
While the value of poultry and
eggs produced in Georgia increased
more than 81 100000 this year we
are still importing about $40, 5OO,-
600 worth.
while the incubator capacity is
over a half million, this can only
supply seven chicks to every farm
in the state. Conditions in Georgia
are well suited to poultry raising
and there is no reason Why we can
not supply not only our needs, but
raise surplus for outside mar
kets."
Professor Wood also stated that
forty-two county poultry associa-
tions were funetioning, and tha'
more than thirty asked assistance
from the college organization.

THEORIES ARE SCORED

Gregor Defends AID VaIcrem
Tax System in Letter

ATLANTA, Nov. 26.-(By the
Associated Press) One of the solu-
tions of the states financial prob
lens lies in the distribution of the
tax burden and economy in the
several departments, Representa-
tive De La Perriere, of Jackson,
stated in explaining his bill to re-
duce the fertilizer tag tax from 80
10 Is cents.
The measure recently was re-
ported adversely by agricultural
committee, number two of the
house.
81 believe that the solution of
the tax problem which today con-
fronts the state lies first in distIi-
button and second in economy" he
said, have no desire to abolish the
bureau markets, the Market Bulle-
tin or any agency which may in
any way help the farmer and pro-
notes the farmers interest. / do
believe, however, that if Georgia
is to be placed on sound financial
basis, that it will be necessary for
the various state departments to
operate with less expense.
prior to August 10, 1921, the
bureau of markets was maintained
on the fertilizer tag tax, which was
only loo per ton. The Market Bal
letin was issued weekly, and I'd the
best of my knowledge the bureau Of
markets served the farmers as eff
fectively as it does today. Before
1921 we thought the good times
had come to stay. We thought we
could continue making money as we
did before and during the war
hence, the state legislature passed
an act raising the tax from Toe to
30c per ton on fertilizers. In the
meantime conditions have changed.
Georgia, in my opinion, is now
facing an agricultural crisis. Thous-
ands of plows already idle and hun
dreds of families are leaving the
farms of Georgia for farms and cit
les Of other states. | believe it is
our duty to make farming as easy
and rs attractive as possible. II Is
aust as important that crops be pro.
duced with minimum expense as
that they be marketed with mini.
mum ease end expense.
Under the present law the in
come derived from the fertilizer
tax for the year 1928 will be APP

M DONOUGH FIRE LOSS
is SET AT $25, 900

M'DONOUGH, Nov &c. - Fire
caused loss estimated at $4,000
here Saturday night when the
Southern railway station and S. w.
Farrer's store were completely de-
stroyed by flames starting in the
station. Quick work by fremen
saved the Kimball Bros. warehouse
and 100 bales of cotton from be-
ing consumed. The warehouse was
slillhtiy damaged, but all of The
cotton was saved. Many bales were
rushed out of the warehouse when
it appeared that the structure was
to be burned.
Starting about 10 o'clock in some
manner not yet explained, the
flames spread rapidly in the station
before 5he fire was discovered. The
IRE ragged for more than an hour
despite the efforts Of firemen to
check it.
Tho railway station was valued
e over $4,000, while the loss to
the Farrer store was placed at
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-11-26

ty-nine thousand eight hundred and
ninety-eight dollars and iorty cents.
Under the existing law, two-thirds
of this amount. not to exceed tire
sum of s100,d00 per year, goes 80
the bureau Of markets. In the
year 1917, the burea uof markets
only received $4,000. In the year
1918, the bureau of markets re-
ceived $35 GOO for its maintenance
and support Of this department.
in the year 1920 and 1921, the
bureau of markets received $685.
0O0, and the Market Bulletin served
the people of Georgia as effective
ly as it does today In the year
1929, the bureau received $3.50
appropriation, and $4,000 fertiliz-
Ser Zee from the tag tax, giving
them 100000 to operate on. In
ether words, IN 1917 this depart
ment only received $4,000. As
you will see from the above figures,
it is taking $4,000 more to OPP
crate this department. than it did in
the year 1917.
If the bill which l introduced to
reduce the fertilizer tag tax from
soc to 15c per ton, becomes a law,
this department (the bureau Of
markets) will receive $66, 382.80
per annum, which certainly seems
large enough amount to defray the
expenses to this department.
The tax of SOC per ton which is
now imposed on the struggling far
mers of Georgia, is paid not by the
fertilizer companies but by the man
who buys the fertilizers. Hence, a
reduction in tag tax from SOC TO
15c per ton, as the bill which | m
PRODUCED provided for, would bene-
fit not the fertilizer companies but
the farmer
1t is my honest opinion that
this department, the bureau of mar
kets, could operate on even less
than one-half the amount it re-
ceives under the present tax, and
at the same time save the farmers
Of Georgia 15c per ton on every
ton of fertilizers they purchased.
1 believe by this distribution and
economy it win be possible to re-
duce taxes instead of increasing
them, and at the same time provide
sufficient revenue for the main
tenance and support Of all the state
departments. 1t was with this Oh
ject in view that / introduced the
fertilizer tag tax from soc to 15c
per ton"
