SENATOR GEORGE
MAKES MOVE FOR
CHEAPER FERTILIZER
BY THEODORE TILLER
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
406 Evonc pr;ld;ar

w ASHlNGTON, Dec. 10.-Accept.
ing as sincere President Coolidge's
utterances for legislation to relieve
the farmer, Senator Walter f.
George introduced on Monday a sen.
ate bill to put sulphate of ammonia
on the free list and to remove the
present duty of s. per ton. The
free listing of sulphante of ammonia.
largely used in the manufacture of
fertilizer, according to the Junior
Georgia senator, will be of ines.
Unable benefit to agriculture.
In his message to congress-" said
Senator George Monday, president
Coolidge says that cheaper fertilizers
must be provided. Also, the agri.
culture of the nation needs q. greater
supply and lower cost of fertilizer.
Again: The great advance of low
priced nitrates must be secured for
the direct benefit of the farmers and
the indirect benefit of the public. So
L have prepared an amendment to
the tariff act taking the IS per ton
duty off of sulphate of ammonia.
"Sulphate of ammonia Is a coke
oven by-product and probably the
most important ammoniate used in
FERTILIZER. 1t is not conceivable that
congress, in view of the strong state
ment of President Coolidge, will con-
tinue this duty of So per ton at the
direct expense of the farmers, when
all other fertilizer materials are duty
free.
current market reports show that
foreign sulphate of ammonia is com.
ing in despite the S. per ton handi.
cap, which of course, out farmers pay.
Yet this country is producing above
our present needs an enormous eX-
portable surplus, and it is being sold
abroad in C Ompetition with the sama
foreign producers who find our do
meStlc market attractive over the
bar of the IS duty.
The help to our farmers would
only start with relief of this duty.
Any lower price of sulphate of am
monia in consequence would instant
ly reflect in the chief competitive
material, nitrate of soda, which is
duty free. All other ammoniates, in
fact, would respond.
IF the presidents message is Civ
en- effect by his party, and no one
would question the accuracy or the
sincerity of the presidents timely
demands, immediate reduction in the
cost and price of fertilizers is as.
sured.
Some time must unavoidably
elapse before relief can be mad
through the development and opera
ton of Muscle Shoals, even if this
property be sold to Henry Ford"

GEORGIA PROHIBITION
MEN LEAD NATION
IN STILL CAPTURES

Georgia led the entire nation in
the number Of stills and distilleries
seized and destroyed during the fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1928, &C.
cording to the official report OF In.
ternal Revenue Commissioner David
Fl. Flair for the period, a copy of
which has been received by Fred
D. DiSmuke, director of federal pro.
hibition forces in the state.
Stills and distilleries NUMBERING 2.
946 were seized in Georgia during
the twelve-month period, represent
ing approximately IA per cent of ali
stills and distilleries seized in all
states. Virginia was Georgia S
closest rival with 2,032 seizures.
Georgia was first in the seizure
and destruction Of malt LIQUOR or
be~r, with 2,338,07S gallons, and. also
was first in the number of still
worms seized with 734.
The state was third in the amount
of whisky destroyed with 24,312 gal
Ions; was second in the number of
liquor cars seized with 1913, and was
fourth in the number of arrests and
prosecutions with 3,4SS.
The value of all property seized
and destroyed in the state during
the year by the federal agents was
1898, 1858. To this was added $104,-
O7O, the appraised value of the 1913
liquor automobiles and $1,000, the
appraised value of other undestroyed
material.
while on the face of figures,
Georgia seems to be the worst liquor
hole in the United States, / do not
think it is" Director Dismuke said
II just believe the prohibition force
in Georgia, despite the smallness of
it's personnel, has been more active
and more efficient than any other
state force"
Il believe Georgia is as clean from
a whisky standpoint as any other
state. and that it is much cleaner
than many states. This is particu-
larly true since the smuggling sit
uation at Savannah has been cleaned
up"
According to the report, California
led the union in the number of au-
tomobiles seized with d total of 333
California was also first in the num-
Der of arrests and prosecutions with
5,443; New York was second with
1927; Texas was third with 3,43S.

some of our boys and girls lack
this capacity. Without it, time
used in trying to give them a
higher education is time wasted.
If it were possible today to
give every boy and girl an edu-
cation that would compare favor
ably with the highest standards
of our universities, it would be
necessary to establish a code of
restrictions so only those who
excelled could enter our institu-
tions of highest learning. Other
wise, progress would stop.
To liberalize the entrance re-
quirements of our state univers-
ity would rot help us any. On
the contrary, it would pull the
university standards down to
such low level it would cease to
be an institution of higher learn
ing, and it would compel those
who are seeking a higher edu-
cation to go to other states to
complete their studies.
For years, American students
have gone to Germany, to Eng
land, to France to finish their
education and for no other reason
than the standards of this coun-
try were not high enough to meet
modern requirements. Instead
of quarreling about who should
go to universities and who should
not, it is more important that we
attract to our state university
the greater authorities in all sub
jects and even to raise it's
scholastic standards higher and
higher.
For the practical success of
life, no university education is
necessary. This has been proven
time and again by our captains
of industry and commerce who
started life with educational
handicaps. But to achieve sue
cess in the professions, higher
education is essential and uni
versity standards should be high
enough to keep out those who
for lack of fundamentals or
learning capacity, cannot make
the grade.
Those who know the principles
of higher education will not be
stopped by one rebuff. They will
rebuild their educational foun-
dations and the next time they
knock for admission at the uni
versity gates they know they
will win admission. They will
be ready to burn the midnight
oil to prepare themselves to serve
humanity and their country, not
alone from the heights, but from
the deepest depths of knowl-
edge.
