FIGHT AGAINST FEE
SYSTEM IS REVIVED
|NLARGER COUNTIES

A renewal Of the fight to abolish
/ the present fee system of paying
county officers and to put the Of
ficials on salaries in the larger
counties of the state, is being ag1-
tated in ally the larger cities as an
! issue for the session of the legisla.
ture to begin June 81. A similar
measure lost by a close vote at the
last session.
Labor unions and other organiza-
tons in Atlanta have adopted reso-
buttons calling upon the six repre-
sentatives of Fulton and Dekalb
counties to aid in abolshing the fee
system in these two counties. OPP
ponents Of the present system de-
clare that many big counties could
put their officials on attractive
salaries and still save thousands of
dollars per annums
Savannah real estate men and the
Order of Railway Conductors in that
city have adopted resolutions call
ing upon the Chatham county dele
cation to fight the fee system, as
a matter of economy for the taxpay-
ers of that county. Similar move
ments have been inaugurated in
Macon, Augusta, Columbus, and
other cities of more than 10000
population, it is said.
Representative of Atlanta labor
unions have been going over the re-
ports of fees that all officials are
supposed to file each quarter with
COMPTROLLER General William A.
Wright, to get material for an or
ganized fight on the fee system AS
it applies to Fulton county. These
investigators state that the reports
are not complete, as all the officials
do not file them regularly. In his
annual report to the next legisla-
ture. Comptroller General Wright
will recommend that the law re-
curing such reports be repealed, as
the purpose of the act, passed in
1912, has been accomplished.
County Option Purpose
Supporters of the plan to put
county officers on salaries are en-
deavoring to work out a plan by
which counties desiring to continue
the fee system may do so. by a vote
of the people of those counties,
Most Of the opposition to the bill
| introduced last year came from the
smaller counties, where any consid-
cradle salary would be more than
the officials get at present under
the fee system.
The announced intention of the
state budget commission to rec
ommend that appropriations by the
next legislature be substantially
what they were for the past two
| years, but that cuts be made in some
departments, notably the state de-
partment of agriculture. is calculat,
ed to stir up some real strife when
the lawmakers get together.
Every state department has its
champions in the legislature, and
practically every department. has
submitted to the budget commission
request for more money than it
spent last year. If the total appro-
priations can not be increased, it is
manifest that the appropriation for
no particular department car be
raised without an equal reduction in
some other department. There is
where the sanguinary conflict is 60
ing to begin.
Commissioner j. J. Brown, of the
department of agriculture, has said
that he will fight in the legislature
against any reduction in the appro-
priatiOns to his department for the
benefit of the Georgia farmer. He

The agricultural record discloses
the fact that Georgia farmers did
not do themselves proud in 1922 in
the general average yield of corn
per acre-only twelve bushels. This
is noteworthy for the reason, Oft
times stated in this correspondence,
that on the general average yield
per acre of every crop depends the
cost Of production. The greater the
average yield per acre, the smaller
the cost Of production.
Low Yields Costly
A low average yield per acre is
attributable to number of things
preparation of the soil. the use in
adequate quantity of high grade fer
tilizer adapted to the desired crop,
the variety of seed used, methods
of cultivation. A liberal applica
ton of fertilizer per acre and SEED
selection are the factors.
Farming is, to every intelligent,
well-informed man, one of the most
appealing and enthusing Vocations
known to men.
If. in ploughing corn or cotton, for
example, one goes up one row and
down the next row, without think
ing of the nature of his work, with
out observation, one will quickly be-
come a. plodder "A primrose to him
will be a primrose" that's all,
In 1912 Georgia's general average
yield of corn per acre was 1873 bush
els. The fact brought forth many
uncomplimentary references, not to
say criticisms, on our methods OF
farming.
Fertilizer Used Scantily
Glow Gomez" Primarily, we put
under corn that year, on a general
average only "a pounds of CONNER
cial fertilizer per acre. Discarding
the question as to the variety OF
seed corn planted, etc, how could we
expect a larger yield? We applied
to cotton per acre, that year, 227
pounds of fertilizer on an average;
yield per acre, 159 pounds of i:nt'
In 1918, we used 12S pounds of
fertilizer per acre under corn; gen
eral average yield per acre, 1915 bush
els. We applied to cotton 26S pounds
of fertilizer per acre; general aver
age yield of lint, 2OS pounds per
acre The more economical policy
