oe 33 COMMISSION FR WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1949 NUMBER 3 Editorial By TOM LINDER ' Tn the mail this morning, I received copy of letter which Judge Max L. Me- Rae, of McRae, Georgia, has written to . he Constitution. 1 appreciate the Judge's letter very much, and I am re- ' poducing it as follows: oe September 10, 1949 _ Hon. Ralph McGill, Editor _ Atlanta Constitution Atlanta, Georgia _My dear Sir: = I do not think the Atlanta papers al- ways deal fairly with Tom Linder, Com- missioner of Agriculture. = I think I am as fully acquainted with _ the operations of the State Department _ of Agriculture as any one not directly _ connected with the Department. e When Eugene Talmadge took office _ as Commissioner of Agriculture in 1927 _ I was appointed Director of the Bureau - of Markets, and served in this capacity _ and as Field Representative of the De- ' partment all during Mr. Talmadges six _ years as Commissioner of Agriculture. . I think Tom Linder is rendering a great service to the farmers of the State in the efficient operation of the various branches of his Department; the farm- ers secure prompt reports on the analy- sis of their fertilizer samples and germ- ination tests on various seeds sent in.- The greatest service rendered to the farmers and people of the State is in the : publication of the Market Bulletin. I _ understand this,costs the Department x around $80,000. 00 a year, but the bene _ fits received by the farmers in the ad- ; _vertising of their various products for _ sale runs into the millions of dollars. I _ have personally bought and sold many _ thousand dollars worth of live stock and : other farm products through the Market - Bulletin. ; = The State Farmers Markets in At- - lanta and other points in Georgia serve _ the farmers well and I do not think any _ State in the Union has a better system of State Markets. Why not give him justice and investi- _ gate for yourself and give him a break : in your papers. With kind regards, I remain, Sincerely yours, MAX L. McRAE Phe Department of Agriculture for the Past six years has hada standing ap- D3 Opriation under Executive Or der of mount of fees we collect. he amounts collected from'July 1, to 30, in peel per opti ty ie Tita a ieee STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE partment during the next fiscal year. In other words, the Department of Agricul- ture has been operating on a cash basis. The funds we collected one year were spent the next year. During the fiscal year July 1, 1948, to June 30, 1949, the Department of Agri- eulture collected in fees, market rents, ete., a total of $771,698.84. As we have op- erated for the past six years, this $771,- 698.84 would have been available to op- erate the Department from July 1, 1949, to June 30, 1950. When the Legislature met in Satire 1949, and passed a General Appropria- tion Act, the amount appropriated for the operation of the Department of Ag- riculture was set at $700,000.00 Because of this appropriation, the Department has $71,698.84 less money for this cur- rent fiscal year than we would have had under the Executive Order. Also, because the Appropriation Bill provides for a cut on all Departments having increased their work since 1941- 42, in the event of a decrease in State Reyenue from all sources, we may not Congratulations I am reprinting below a letter from one of Mississippis capable Congressmen which I appreciate very much: House of Representatives Washington, D. C. September 12, 1949 Hon. Tom Linder Commissioner of Agriculture Atlanta, Georgia Dear Linder: I have just received your paper of September 7th, carrying the dis- missal of those charges which I re- ferred to on the floor of the House some time ago, I congratulate you, and trust that never again will a man be indicted for trying to help the farmers of this nation. Sincerely your friend, pea year were avail- Commissioner of J. EZ. RANKIN get the $700,000.00. It is, therefore, necessary for the Department of Agri- culture to curtail somewhat our opera- tions to take up the loss of $71,000.00 and to take care of any further cut that might occur due to decrease in revenue tuder the tax laws in effect prior to the last extra session of the Legislature. The revenue of the Department of Ag-, riculture was derived almost entirely from Fertilizer Tags, Egg Stamps, Feed Stamps, Farmers Markets and Dairy fees. The fees from these five sources amount to $729,669.03. This left only $42,029.81 from sundry other sources. The other fees collected were also on farm products such as Fertilizer Regi- strations, Dealers Licenses, Cotton Seed Meal Stamps, Feed Registrations, Insecticides, ete. .From this you ean readily see that the Department of Agri- eulture belongs to the farmers of the State. That it is paid for by the farmers of the State. - That the operation of the Department, including the publishing and mailing of the Market Bulletin, has net cost the general taxpayers of the State one cent. Se far ag the current fiscal year is con- cerned, the farmers have not only paid for the operation of the Department, but in addition, they have paid more thar 71,000.00 into the State Treasury fo) use of the general fund. During the years that I have been of Agriculture, every State Farmers Market in Georgia has been built. We are continuing to. en- large and improve these month by raonth. The cost of operation of these Farmers Markets during the last fiseal vear was $164,914.33. This was in addi- tion to $154,686.60 that was expended to operate the Bureau of Markets and to print and mail the Market Bulletin. Also, during my. Administration, the Legislature passed Pure Seed Laws and there was expended in the enforcement of these laws during the last fiscal year, $41,170.62. We now have a_ splendid Seed Laboratory, and we have as large force of Seed Inspectors in the field and Seed Analysts in the Seed Laboratory as our funds will permit. Also, during my Administration, the Legislature passed the Weights and a ry ave j DO oO PAGE TWO MARKET BULLETIN s/ednesday, September 2 on th LES GEORGIA MARKET BULLETIN Address all items for publication and ali requests to ibe put vailing list and for ehange of address to STATE BUREAU OF MARKETS. 222 STATE CAPITOU, Atlanta.
