Letter of Transmittal

March I, 1927.

Hon. Clifford Walker, Governor, State of Georgia.

Dear Sir:

In compliance with an Act of the General Assembly, I am sub-^ mitting herewith the first biennial report of the Department of Agriculture, covering the period from January 1, 1925, to December 31, 1926.
Respectfully submitted, J. J. BROWN,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Report of J. J. Brown, Commissioner.
In submitting this my last report as Commissioner of Agricul ture,--for, with the closing of my present term next June, I shall again resume my life's chosen work, a Georgia farmer--I deem it proper to review some of the important matters pertaining to Geor gia's Agriculture, for which I have fought since taking upon myself the duties incumbent on the Commissioner.
After filling out the last five months of Hon. J. D. Price's term as Commissioner of Agriculture in 1917, I issued a special report to the Governor and General Assembly, dated June 20 of that year. These five months preceded my regular term of office which began with the opening of the legislature. In this special report, under the head of "Correlation and Harmony," I urged the General Assem bly of Georgia to frame agricultural laws which would make clear and distinct the respective duties of Georgia's two great agricul tural agencies, namely, the State Department of Agriculture and the State College of Agriculture. I clearly stated that the functions of the State Department of Agriculture were administrative and regulatory, and just as emphatically that the functions of the State College of Agriculture were educational and research work.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture properly renders splendid service to the states in extension and research work through the state colleges of agriculture. It was my desire then to administer the affairs of the State Department of Agriculture in such a way as to co-operate whenever possible, with both the State College of Agriculture and the U. S. Department of Agriculture, in all lines of agricultural activity where greater efficiency could be secured by co-operation than by acting independently. / am still of the opinion that the wisest course which these two great agricultui al agencies can pursue, is to co-operate heartily with each other and with the U. S. Department of Agriculture whenever necessary for the best interest of Georgia's agriculture, and to avoid all duplications and transfer of administrative, police and regulatory work from the State Depart ment to the College and of educational and research work from the College to the State Department. My observation and experience as Commissioner convince me, beyond a doubt, that all regulatory police work such as is now done by the fertilizer inspectors, chemical labora tories, the gas and oil inspectors, the Market Bureau, the Board of Entomology, the State Veternarian, and the Pure Food Division should remain in the Department of Agriculture; while the educational, exexperimental, research and extension work should remain with the State College of Agriculture. ~
5

One of the planks in my first successful campaign was the estab lishment of the Market Division in the State Department of Agri culture. On this basis, soon after becoming Commissioner, I did establish a Market Bureau. The growth of this Market Bureau and its publication, the Market Bulletin, from that day until this, has proved unquestionably the urgent need for such an activity in the State Department of Agriculture. Thousands of letters are on file in the Bureau of Markets bearing strongest testimonials to the valuable service rendered by this Bureau and the Market Bulletin. As sufficient proof of the existence of these testimonials, a few of them have been published in the Market Bulletin from time to time. I think Georgia should take pride in the fact that we were the first State to publish a Market Bulletin, and although today practically all the southern states have followed Georgia's lead in this pioneer marketing work, our Market Bulletin in make-up and service still excels all others.
The Market Bulletin is a medium carrying "For Sale" and "Want" Ads for agricultural products free of charge. It is supported entirely by agricultural funds, with but one object in view, namely, TO SECURE BETTER SALE FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. This object is so eminently fair, that all persons, interested in the welfare of Georgia's agriculture, rally to the support of the Market Bureau and Market Bulletin.
Ifeel sure that the Georgia legislature will continue its liberal policy to this, one of the most important divisions in the Department of Agi iculture, which my successor has already announced on the platfoim that he will actively support and to which he will give his personal attention.
The full report of the Market Bureau Division is in this biennial report.

In my 1917 special report, I heartily endorsed the work of the Georgia Experiment Station, at Experiment, Georgia, and recom mended the establishment of other experiment stations in different regions of our State. The apparent need of such stations exists on account of the differences in soil and products of north Georgia and south Georgia. The General Assembly approved this position, and the Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station, at Tifton, Georgia, was formally opened January 1,1920. This station in a way co-operating with the Georgia Experiment Station, Experiment, Georgia, is rendering a wonderful service to the coastal plain region of our State. Many of our Georgia farmers find each year a solu tion for a portion of their agricultural problems by taking advantages either in person or from bulletins, of the information given out from the experimental and research courses of these stations, as well as

6

from additional information given out by the State College of Agri culture.
/ stand foursquare for the legislative support of all these agricul tural institutions, and trust that a rapidly increasing number of our farmers, from year to year, may find it possible and convenient to avail themselves of the valuable agricultural aids rendered by these agencies through courses of instructions and bulletins published.

The State Veterinarian in his annual report, which, on account of its volume will be published in a separate booklet within the next three weeks, reviews the work of tick eradication from its be ginning to date. When, in 1917,1 assumed charge as Commissioner of Agriculture more than half of the State was still infested with cattle fever ticks and under State and Federal quarantine. It is a source of great pleasure to me to see the work practically com pleted during my administration.

Though without special appropriation for this work, the Veterinary Department has for the past several years done an enormous amount of tuberculin testing of cattle--especially dairy cows. Tuberculosis in cattle has assumed a position of extraordinary economic impor tance. The Federal Government appropriates several million dollars annually to eradicate this dreadful disease,--which is transmissible to man,--and under co-operative agreements with the various states partly reimburses the owner of tubercular cattle for animals condemned as reactors to the tuberculin test. Since Georgia has failed to provide an appropriation for this work, Georgia cattle owners who had cattle condemned as tubercular reactors have not shared in this federal appropriation.

I believe a suitable Act should be passed and adequate appro priation provided to put Georgia farmers and cattle owners on a par with those of other states whose losses from bovine tubercu
losis are mitigated by State and Federal appropriation.

Contagious abortion in cattle, cholera among hogs and the con trol of other contagious diseases are extensively discussed in this
report which, on account of its volume and its general public interest, will be published separately.

The system of gathering accurate statistics on meats and meat food products shipped into the State of Georgia, as inaugurated by the State Veterinarian, has been continued. As will be pointed out by Dr. Bahnsen, State Veterinarian, Georgia's opportunity for profitable pork production is great. We have a market for all we can and will produce within our own border, and unexcelled railway facilities make the large Eastern markets exceedingly accessible to us.

This report emphasizes the splendid topographical advantages for growing sheep, both for wool and mutton, on the mountain

7

ranges of North Georgia. In years gone by North and South Geor gia had many flocks of sheep, but during the past twenty years the interest in sheep has been reduced almost to the vanishing point. Shall we again re-establish our former interest in the sheep industry, or shall we pass up this opportunity of agricultural develop
ment?

All interested in live stock conservation and production are urged to apply for a copy of the State Veterinarian's report.

At this time, the distressing low price of cotton and the correspond ingly high price of beef cattle, dairy products, and all kinds of meats, justify whatever reasonable thing may be done to assist the livestock industry. Our State should pass a law giving reasonable reimburse ment to owners of cattle destroyed for tuberculosis, thus making avail
able the U. S. appropriation.

In my special report of 1917, I "urged that the Georgia legis lature consider most carefully the matter of providing for a pro gressive land tax in this State. Under the present arrangement there are many large tracts of land being held for speculative pur poses, in a state of idleness, that are not bearing their just share of taxation, while industry and thrift, as represented by the land holdings of small farmers, are being taxed unduly by comparison." This system of taxation, which exists largely until today, seems to penalize the honest, energetic, intelligent small farmer, who by the "sweat of his face" succeeds in improving his small holdings and providing a comfortable home for himself, wife and children.

We know that the happiest citizens and the most prosperous sections of any State are to be found where the small independent farmers are most numerous. So, why discourage the backbone of our great Com
monwealth by a burdensome system of taxation? ***

Knowing that the health of all our people, both rural and urban, depends largely upon the quality of the food which they consume, I have all during my administration laid great stress upon the activ ities of the Pure Food Division. This Division not only protects our citizens in the food they eat, but protects them, by its an ade quate system of inspection, from being defrauded by the purchase of commercial concentrated stock feeds which fail to come up to the guaranteed standard. All of this is classed as police regulatory work.

In 1918 this Division of our Department made 6,000 inspections
and found it necessary to direct that 347 articles be withheld from sale. Last year1 we made 15,844 similar inspections and found only 304 withholds. For the same two years, there was a reduction in the number of food violations also. This is a fine record for our Pure

8

Food Division, because we all know that a city or state is best policed when there are few or no violations of law. Furthermore, we have discovered in recent years that the increased use of arsenic preparations to control the insect pests on commercial peaches and apples has, also, made some of our fruit dangerous to use as food unless subjected to a process of purification before marketing. Consequently, in co-operation with the U. S. government, we are inspecting fruit shipments, rushing samples taken to our labora tories for the arsenic test, condemning those unfit for food,--thus protecting both the producer and consumer of Georgia's excellent fruit. Likewise, in co-operation with the U. S. Department of Agri culture, the Georgia State Board of Health and the State Fish and Game Commissioner, we have corrected unsanitary conditions in the oyster shucking houses of our coast, and today Georgia's oysters, just as fine and succulent as any Blue Point oysters, are as sanitary and wholesome as any to be found on the market. This inspection of the oyster industry adds to Georgia's potential resources another great industry that is sure to grow by leaps and bounds.
Ifeel that this material reduction in the purefood violations, together with the inspection offruit shipments and the development of the oyster industry will justify a continuation of vigorous legislative support to this vital division of our Department.
The full report of the Pure Food division appears as a part of this bulletin.

The report of Dr. T. A. Cheatham, State Drug Inspector, appears later on in this bulletin. Some vital needs are enumerated by Dr. Cheatham and should receive the careful consideration of the Gen eral Assembly. Pure drugs and modern drug laws will go far toward the conservation of the general public health. A suitable committee should be appointed by the legislature to redraft and enlarge our drug laws, bringing them up to date technically and generally. With the rapid changes and discoveries that are being made con tinually in all sciences, it is preposterous to contend that Georgia's drug laws enacted in 1881 are adequate for the protection of the public health today.

I commend Dr. Cheatham's appealfor a revision of our drug laws.

***

From my report of June 20, 1917, in a section discussing LONG TERM FERTILIZER INSPECTORS, I quote the following:
"I would recommend that, beginning with my regular term of office, the Commissioner of Agriculture be authorized to select in every case the men who serve under him as fertilizer and oil in spectors, and that in no case shall the appointment of any such inspector be valid beyond the time when a new Commissioner of

9

Agriculture shall cause the appointment and qualification of a successor to any such appointee of a previous administration, and that all Commissions be held subject to the discretion and pleasure of the Commissioner of Agriculture."
As the law was then, so it is now, that the two-year term of these inspectors shall be made in October previous to the beginning of a new administration the next June.
If the appointment and jurisdiction of these fertilizer and oil inspec tors is still to remain in the hands of the Commissioner of Agriculture, their term should be concurrent with his administration.
A comprehensive report of the State Chemist is published in this bulletin. He calls attention to other publications, extant, which together with this report give a full account of this important Divi sion of the State Department of Agriculture.
** *
I have consistently, continously, and emphatically, from the beginning of my administration, advocated the enactment of a PURE SEEDS LAW for the State of Georgia.
So many violations of what would be the provisions in a PURE SEEDS LAW have been reported to me, from time to time, that I con sider this legislation absolutely necessary. Thirty-eight states of the Union now have a PURE SEEDS LAW.
** *
In the inspection of illuminating oils, gases, and motor fuels, I have placed an inspector at each receiving tank throughout the State, with specific instructions to inspect, in accordance with our law, every car and container coming into our State with these com modities. Our tests at present are the flash and gravity tests. For a number of years I have been convinced that these should be supplemented by the distillation test recommended by the U. S. Bureau of Mines.
In my report for 1917, under the head of "Oil Inspection," I used the following:
"I also deem it highly in order for the General Assembly of Georgia to enact a measure that will protect the people of the State against fraud in the sale of lubricants and paints."
No law providing for the distillation test and the inspection of lubricants and paints has been enacted.
I strongly recommend that the distillation test be added to the tests employed by the Oil Division of our Department, and that each car and container bringing these commodities into our State be inspected, as heretofore, and that the oil inspectors be authorized to inspect all local Filling Stations to determine the purity of the commodity and the cor rectness of the measure. In addition, let the Act give the inspectors similar jurisdiction over paints, lubricating oils, and like commodities.
10

If the work, herein mentioned, can be done with less inspectors or less cost, I am for that; but I am unalterably opposed to endangering the lives of our citizens by lack of inspection or careless inspection, or that will allow bootleg gasoline to come into our State. The law says each car tank must be inspected.
The report of the State Oil Inspector, L. H. Glenn, is found farther on in this bulletin.
***
In my annual reports, I have called attention repeatedly to the fact that the Department of Agriculture turns into the state treas ury, annually, a sum of money, ranging sometimes as high as a halfmilllion dollars, from the funds paid into it for police regulatory work, after having deducted from these funds all the money allowed the Department through the various appropriations fixed by the legislature and having covered all expenses incident thereto. This money paid into the state treasury, and referred to in my reports as "net income," is a surplus from the revenues collected principally through the sales of fertilizer and pure food tax tags and stamps and inspection fees on illuminating and motor gases and oils. This is strictly a revenue measure created for the purpose of defraying the expenses of doing our police regulatory work. Consequently, it becomes definitely an agricultural fund and should not be diverted into the state treasury for general tax purposes. These fees are paid quite largely by individuals and corporations doing interstate commerce business. Such fees collected purely as revenue are pro hibited by the Constitution of the United States from being turned into any state treasury for general tax purposes^--especially if these fees are collected grossly in excess of the actual amounts required to do this police work.
_ I have recommended increased appropriations for different divi sions of our work during my administration, the funds for these increases to be taken from this "net income" turned into the state treasury. The legislature has responded in past years more or less liberally to these recommendations,--the largest being $100,000 appropriated to the Market Bureau for the publication of the Market Bulletin and other work. However, other equally important recom mendations have been turned down, although the available funds were adequate to care for them.
I want to go on record now as being unalterably in favor of using agri culturalfunds for agricultural purposes. Acting on this principle, I urged the legislature at its last session to increase the maintenance fund of the Department of Agriculture. I trust that the coming legis lature will make the maintenance fund of the- Department of Agricul ture sufficientfor its requirements. Also, I hope that allfuture legisla tures will see that AGRICULTURAL REVENUE FUNDS ARE APPROPRIATED FOR AGRICULTURAL WORK.
11

I have attempted to comply with the provisions included in the Act'of 1874 creating the State Department of Agriculture, which stated that one of the Commissioner's duties was to collect agri cultural statistics showing, by counties, the acreage, average yield per acre and the total production of all the principal crops grown in this State. I have been more or less successful in this attempt, issuing (including the statistics in the back of this report) five such bulletins during my administration. They are: "ANNUAL RE PORT FOR 1917," "GEORGIA INVITES YOU," "AGRICUL TURAL AIDS AND FACTS," "GEORGIA AGRICULTURESTATE AND COUNTY," and this BIENNIAL REPORT.
This statistical work, although authorized in 1874, had received but little attention, comparatively speaking, until taken up by me in 1917. It was impossible to accomplish anything worthwhile with the very small appropriation available. Consequently, we have entered into co-operation with the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the State College of Agriculture, thus laying the foundation since 1923 for approximately correct, valuable and up-to-date state and county agricultural statistics, provided the Georgia legislature will appropriate sufficient funds to defray our part of the expenses occasioned by this co-operative work. It is only through co-opera tion that the State Department of Agriculture can be able, without the expenditure of a large appropriation of agricultural funds, to collect and publish county statistics of any value. By co-operating with the U. S. Government, we have the advantage of their statis tical Bureau, which has been operating for a long time and which is permitted to use the franked or penalty envelope in all of its large and voluminous correspondence necessary to secure data and com pile reliable statistics.
The appropriation for this statistical work needs to be increasedfrom the agriculturalfund referred to above. This fund should total $10,000 annually {North Carolina has $15,000) to carry out present work and cover the initial cost of a partial census now proposed in some states, notably, our sister state, Alabama, and which we would like to inau gurate in Georgia. This census would determine statistics, by a uni
form system of samples taken from year to year. See the report of Peter V. Rice, State Statistician, appearing in
the last section of this report.

When I first became Commissioner of Agriculture, an existing

law prohibited the use of fertilizer tags for any other year except

the one designated on their face. The operation of this law caused

the Department to have a greater or less number of tags left over

each year because it was impossible, in giving an order for the print

ing or these tags, for theCommissioner to definitely determine the

number that would be taken by the fertilizer companies. These

13

excess tags became junk, although they represented an outlay of agricultural funds. I advocated the passage of a law permitting the fertilizer tags to be used year after year, just as the feed stamps were used. When this law was enacted, we found there had accumulated over a period of years, beginning long before my administration, something like ten million fertilizer tags. A record of these was made and they were destroyed as junk, as they could not be of any further use.
Looking further towards the improvement of our fertilizer in spection laws, I prepared a bill increasing the fertilizer tax from xoc to 30c per ton. This was done only after ample investigation was made to ascertain whether or not the increased tax per ton would increase the price of fertilizer to the farmer. We were reliably in formed by the fertilizer companies that their prices were made each year to cover approximately a tax of 30c per ton, as most states charged about that amount, and some states even more. This in crease in fertilizer inspection fees made possible the $100,000 ap propriation for the Market Bureau, and did not increase the cost of a ton of fertilizer by a single penny to any Georgia farmer. The users of fertilizer in out State were already paying this amount, and the new law returned a part of it to them through the increased facilities of the Market Bureau.
The appropriation committee of the last legislature appropriated only $75,000 of the $100,000 allocated by law from fertilizer inspec tion fees for the support of the Market Bureau and Market Bulletin. I contend that the $100,000 should have been available during 1926, the same as in 1922, 1923, 1924 and 1925. I have conferred with some of the most eminent legal authorities of our State and find that they agree entirely with me in this view that the $100,000 is now and should have been available all along since the passage of the Act setting aside that amount for the Market Bureau. Our attorneygeneral has concurred in this view throughout.
The services of our Market Bureau and its publication, the Market Bulletin, were seriously impaired during the year 1926, on account of the $25,000 shortage from the amount allowed by law. I was unable to convince your Excellency, as Governor, that we were entitled to this $25,000, or to secure from you a friendly consent to allow legal action to be taken against the State to recover this $25,000. All of which resulted in suspending the publication of the Market Bulletin for several months and otherwise handicapping the activities of the Market Bureau.
I do not believe that the failure of the legislative committee to make an appropriation specifically provided for by the law, as it stands on our statute books, did in any way nullify the law, not withstanding the action of your Excellency to the contrary.
***
13

In the letter of transmittal submitting my 1921 report to the Governor, I expressed the sincere hope that the General Assembly would establish a State Auditing Department. Since that time an Auditing Department has been established, and the efficient and valu able service which it has rendered more than justifies its creation. I gladly refer you to the Auditor's Report of the Department of Agricul ture.
The Commissioner of Agriculture, in Georgia, is by virtue of his office, also, the Commissioner of Immigration.
From my first annual report, issued in 1917, under the head of "Immigration," I quote the following:
"The State of Georgia could better afford to legislate in favor of its own landless citizenship, with a view to making them farm owners while much of our best lands can still be had at a reasonably low price, than to expend large sums in an effort to induce people from other parts of our Union to come and develop our resources along agricultural lines."
Today I stand for the same principles and more. I am unquestion ably opposed to Georgia being made the dumping ground for sur plus foreigners, especially the undesirable riff-raff from southern Europe and other sections of the Old World, with their pauperized labor and low standards of living. California's experience should be a sufficient warning to the other States of our Union.
Our membership in the sisterhood of States throws open our doors to the U. S. citizen, who desires to make his home within our borders, to take upon himself a part of our responsibilities and to participate in the wonderfulfuture that is now looming up in Georgia.

The above is a brief review and summary of some of the vital

matters to which I have called attention, and for which I have

worked to see enacted into law during the terms of my administra

tion of the agricultural department. As stated in the beginning,

they have been and are matters of vast concern to me and I am

grateful to the legislators who have fought for the same principles

and succeeded in securing the enactment of much legislation cover

ing these policies. There are yet outstanding some important mat

ters which must be enacted into law, if we are to serve the best in

terest of Georgia's agriculture. I have fought for these things and

am, today, ready to join all who have Georgia's agricultural interest

at heart, in one concerted movement to place upon our statute

books one comprehensive law, which will give our State an up-to-date

agricultural code. Our neighbor, the great State of Alabama, which,

in soil and products, has much in common with our own beloved

Commonwealth, has recently adopted an Agricultural Code, which

might well be taken as a basis for Georgia. However, this is a

matter which must be decided by the Legislature, and it is my

recommendation that a committee be appointed from both the Sen

ate and the House to make thorough investigations of the laws of

other states as well as our own laws, and report back to the Legis

lature, making such recommendations as they think would be of

material benefit to Georgia's Agricultural Department.

My first breath was taken from the pure air of Georgia's South

ern Clime; for fifty years I have lived upon her soil and observed her

marvelous growth and development. Today, with a vision tutored

by the changing business cycles of the past half century, there

stretches out before me another half century of Georgia's history,

fraught with cycles grander and far more marvelous than those

which bestowed upon us the name, "EMPIRE STATE OF THE SOUTH."

15

Today, says Mr. Gould, of the Manufacturers' Record, "The industry of the nation is gravitating southward at a rate never before equaled in the history of any section." This statement from one so well informed on general business conditions, is not startling, when we stop and consider that the water-falls on a thou sand streams, the timber on many thousands of hills and broad ex tended plains, the green grass and growing crops on every hill and vale made immortal by our own Sidney Lanier, all make a magni ficent setting for our nation's most prosperous industrial center growing and pulsating in the very midst of great old Georgia. As, each contingent of the nation's migratory industry takes its flight from the bleak and rigid northern clime to Georgia's twelve months outdoor life, they will open up for our farmers a nearby market for the bountiful yields of their fields, their orchards, and their herds. This is no Elysian dream; it is seen; unmistakably, in the signs of the times. Men of my age will not live to see the fulfillment of it all, but we can, like Moses of old, stand on the hills of time and see the glorious day that is now dawning upon Georgia.
Respectfully submitted, J. J. BROWN,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
MARKET BUREAU
Hon. J. J. Brown,
Commissioner of Agriculture,
Dear Sir:
As Director of the Bureau of Markets, I hereby hand you its report for the years 1925 and 1926.
Knowing that you are the originator of the Bureau of Markets, and the work that is now being done through it, I am glad to report to you, that for the years of 1925 and 1926 the circulation of the Market Bulletin was around eighty thousand. At the present time we are forced to actively purge the mailing list through a system that we have, so as to keep the circulation from growing much larger. We are not handling the large mail that is coming into our office each day as rapidly as we wish, for the lack of funds to pay another stenographer and to print a full sixteen page bulletin each week.
I am sure that the people of the State are realizing the worth of this department more than ever. I wish space would permit me to give to you in this report copies of the large numbers of letters coming to us each day, praising and thanking us for our aid to them in sell ing their produce.
I wish it were possible, for us to give the number of sales made
16

through the advertisements in the Bulletin, but we cannot, since we have no way of getting that record, though we know it is very large.

Below you will find a full list of the sales made directly through this department for the year 1925; also the year 1926.

You will please notice the increase in the number of cars of poultry sold through this division in 1926 over 1925. The sale of poultry in car shipments is still increasing during the spring months of 1927. The poultry industry in Georgia is growing very rapidly.

You can see from this report that we have been connected with four hundred and thirty-six co-operative hog sales, bringing to those who participated the large sum of $707,500.00 for the year 1926. I am sure this work has been very profitable to them. At this time, when we are getting up this report (March 1, 1927) the price has declined to about nine and one-half cents per pound , though we hope it will soon rally.

17

The number of cars of cattle is small, because of the fact that the people in Georgia have so few cattle for sale. They are realizing right at this time that cattle are scarce, and the price is advancing rapidly. We hope that the higher price will encourage the farmers to raise and ship more cattle.
The shipments of peas, soy and velvet beans show small number of cars for 1925 and 1926. In the year 1925 this crop was very small in Georgia on account of extremely dry weather. The crop was much larger in 1926, but you will remember that the Bureau of Markets was not doing much work during the months of October and November of 1926 due to a misunderstanding between the Department of Agriculture and the Governor as to the amount of the appropriation for 1926. At this time (March 1, 1927) peas and beans from the 1926 crop are moving in large quantities and bring ing fairly good prices, due to the activities of this division.
You will see that the sweet potato shipments are less in 1926 than in 1925, which was caused by the small crop of 1925 with light supplies available after January 1926. The farmers believing they could get a better price for the 1926 crop in the spring of 1927, carried them over. The total number of cars from the 1926 crop will be about the same as from the crop of 1925.
Looking back over the records of the Bureau since its organiza tion by you in the year 1917, when you began by the mailing of a single sheet of small size, printed here in the office on a mimeograph machine, and seeing this division today as a great, big clearing house for the sale of the farm produce of Georgia, mailing eighty thousand bulletins each week (from eight to sixteen pages each), and selling annually thousands of carloads of farm produce, I cer tainly can see that this Division is a great blessing to the farming people of Georgia.
As we think of those days before the beginning of the Bureau of Markets, when the poultry, eggs, hogs, cattle, peas, corn, sweet potatoes, watermelons, cantaloupes, Irish potatoes, and other vegetable crops brought to the people very little money, and now see the large sum derived from these crops annually, we must admit that the Bureau of Markets with the Market Bulletin have been of the greatest aid.

CHEMICAL LABORATORIES
Hon. J. J. Brown,
Commissioner of Agriculture,
Dear Sir:
Permit me to submit the following report which represents a brief resume of the work done in the various chemical laboratories of the
18

Department during the years 1925 and 1926. This report would, if given in detail, occupy a space many times larger than that allotted me. However, since all the work has been published in detail in bulletin form, and this report is simply a review of the two years' activity, I shall only give an outline of the work of each laboratory, and then refer you to the various published reports for that par ticular laboratory. We have made careful analyses of all samples submitted to us by the various inspection forces of the Department during the two years, and have drawn conclusions as to whether the goods they represent were adulterated or misbranded, or both, within the meaning of the particular regulatory law under which the sample was taken.
FERTILIZER
The records show that during the years 1925 and 1926, 1,556,810 tons of commercial fertilizer were sold in this State. In carrying out our inspection work, we inspected 115,521 tons. This means that we inspected one ton to every thirteen tons sold in the State. We analyzed 10,532 samples, each sample representing approxi mately eleven tons. The sampling of one of every thirteen tons sold in the State, using our very accurate method of sampling, that is, taking a core of the sample through the entire bag with the Indiana sampler, and sampling ten per cent of all bags represented, constitutes a very accurate and thorough inspection of the com mercial fertilizer sold in this State. 46% of this fertilizer met its guarantee in every particular. 41% of the amount contained plant food sufficient to meet the commercial value placed on them, but failed to meet the guarantee. 13% of the entire amount inspected failed to comply with the requirements of the law, and were subject to the penalty prescribed, which is twenty-five per cent of the pur chase price plus the shortage shown by the analysis, this amount of money going back into the pockets of the farmer who purchased this particular lot of goods.
In compliance with the provisions of the law, as amended in 1924, we have determined and published for the first time the water soluble nitrogen in all goods offered for sale in this State. These deter minations are shown in the bulletin as the percentage of the total nitrogen which is soluble in water, for instance, 60% or 50%, which means that 60% of the total nitrogen in the first instance is soluble in water, 40% being insoluble, and half in the second instance being soluble. This information may not be of great value to the lay mind, but to those who have studied the various fertilizer materials or to those who care to take the time to study these various materials, it will mean a great deal in the intelligent purchasing of commer cial fertilizers. Speaking in general terms, when one glances at an analysis showing 60% of the total nitrogen soluble in water the
19

first thought is that 60% of the total nitrogen in that particular sample is derived from either Nitrate or Sulphate of Ammonia, the other 40% being derived from some organic source, or sources and in most instances this is true. However, there are organic materials, or materials classed as organic, which show anywhere from 5% to 50% water soluble nitrogen. It is necessary, therefore, in studying and interpreting the results, as given in our water soluble analyses to know something of the character of the particular nitrogenous material under consideration.
In carrying out the above outlined inspection work, which we choose to call the routine analyses, the purpose of which is to show whether or not the particular goods under consideration meet the guarantee claimed by the manufacturers, a tremendous amount of analytical work is necessary, this work requiring anywhere from five to six months for its completion. You, of course, appreciate the fact that fertilizer moves very rapidly in the spring of the year. The sampling must be done in a short period of time, which throws into the laboratory a tremendous volume of analytical work within that short period. This work cannot be completed as rapidly as it reaches the laboratory, but, as stated above, requires about six months of our time. This routine work is reported directly to the farmer, the original certificate going to him and a duplicate to the manufacturer.
Immediately after finishing the routine work each season, the laboratory takes up and devotes the rest of the year to analytical work on the activity of the nitrogen in the various nitrogenous materials going into the different brands of fertilizer sold in the State. This work is very important, but owing to the fact that it could not be completed until late in the year, it has not been published in detail heretofore. We published it in 1925 for the first time, and I invite your attention to this part of the bulletin. Here again, the results which we are giving very probably will not mean much to the lay mind, but will mean a great deal to those who have been trained along agricultural lines, or to those who care to take the time to study the information given in these tables. Nitrogen is the element of plant food in the average commercial fertilizer which costs the farmer the most money; for instance, organic nitrogen is worth approximately $5.00 per unit, mineral nitrogen approximately $3.50 per unit, while phosphoric acid costs only $0.80 per unit, and potash $0.70 per unit. Again, most of the phosphoric acid is derived from Acid Phosphate, a standard product, and Bone Meal, which is also well known and does not permit of very much manipulation. The potash is derived mainly from the various potash salts, which are also well known, and do not permit of manipulation. Nitrogen is derived from any number of miscellaneous materials, some of which are good and some bad, in that the nitrogen in some is avail
20

able to growing plants within a reasonable length of time, while
in others it is not. It is very important, then, that work should be
done on the activity of the nitrogen in the various materials which
are used. That is why we devote as much of our time to this work
as we have after the routine analyses have been made. You will note by referring to the table beginning on page 102 of bulletin No. 100, just how this table is made up. We give first the name of manufacturer, and the name of the brand of fertilizer, and laboratory number; then the total nitrogen guaranteed by the company and as found by analysis. We then give the percentage of water in soluble nitrogen found, which represents mainly the organic nitro gen content of the goods. We then give the percentage of the total nitrogen that is soluble in water, and finally the percentage activity of the total nitrogen. The water soluble nitrogen in the various materials is considered available, so the thing that is important from the farmer's standpoint is the activity of the water insoluble organic nitrogen contained in his goods. The activity of this water insoluble organic is what we determine, which added to the water soluble content gives the total activity for that particular brand of goods. In reporting the activity work done in 1926, we have again changed the form of the table somewhat. A glance at the table marked^ "Nitrogen Activity" in the latter part of bulletin No. 102 will show the following: The name of the manufacturer, the brand of the fertilizer, the total nitrogen guarantee by the manufacturer, the total nitrogen found by analysis, the water soluble nitrogen, (Which includes all of the mineral nitrogen and in some instances a small percentage of the organic), the active water insoluble organic, and the inactive water insoluble organic. The sum of the water soluble, the active water insoluble organic, and the inactive water insoluble organic is equal to the total nitrogen found. The sum of the water soluble and the active water insoluble organic is the total amount of nitrogen that can be expected to become available to plants during any ordinary growing season. This is expressed in percentage of the total nitrogen found, and constitutes the last column of the table. The inactive water insoluble organic is that part of the nitrogen which cannot be expected to become avail able to growing plants during any particular season. To anyone wishing to know the character of the nitrogen in the fertilizer which he is using, I would invite a careful inspection of this table. The present day tendency in agriculture is toward a scientific study and understanding of the various phases of our farming problems. This information is therefore given with the hope that it will be of value in the intelligent purchasing of commercial fertilizer. We have in this State a splendid fertilizer law, but it has been amended so many times in the past twenty years that its various provisions! are difficult of interpretation. I believe a law embodying the im-'
21

portant features of the original law and these various amendments should be written.

The following table gives a summary of the work, for details of which I refer you to bulletin No. 100, entitled "Commercial Fer tilizer for the Season of 1925," and bulletin No. 10a, entitled "Com
mercial Fertilizer for the season of 1926:"

FOOD
One of the most important acts of legislation ever placed on the statute books, in so far as benefit to all the people is concerned, is the Food and Drugs Act, the purpose of which is to prevent adulter ation, misbranding, and imitation of food for man or beast, of beverages, condiments, candies, medicines, drugs, etc. In our direction of this work, we have adopted the project system of in spection, which means that the work is planned before it is under taken, and when the project is taken up, it is finished before taking ,on something else; for instance, if it were our purpose to take up the inspection of flavoring extracts, we would inspect all flavoring ex tracts sold throughout the State, examine all labels, and get an idea of what was going on throughout the State in regard to flavor ing extracts. This then would be our project until we had cleaned up the question of extracts. This is a much better plan than making a miscellaneous inspection of food products without being able to follow up the results of our work very successfully. Under the project plan, follow up inspections are made until all manufacturers and dealers are familiar with the provisions of the law in so far as their particular product is concerned, all adulteration is eliminated, and all labelling has been corrected.
22

One of the greatest difficulties we have found in the enforcement of this law in the past has been that as soon as one particular manu facturer is straightened out, in so far as his product is concerned, he goes out and meets the trade and finds some other manufacturer, who has not been straightened out and who is selling the same line of goods, and in order to meet his competition, the man whom we have straightened out immediately falls back into the old trail from which we have just taken him. Under the project plan, where all manufacturers and dealers in any particular food product are straight ened out pretty much at the same time, and follow up inspections are made before the project is finished, we find that a great deal of permanent good can be accomplished.
Some of the major projects handled during the past two years are: Beverages, syrups, (including preserves, jams, and jellies) canned goods, sausage factories and their products, oysters, bakery products, fruits and vegetables of all kinds, and investigational and regulatory work on spray residues on fruits and vegetables. Food officials have been given considerable concern during the past few years over the fact that there was some danger of the health of the consumer being impaired by unwittingly consuming fruits and vegetables containing an appreciable amount of poisonous spray residue. Our State holds prominence as a peach producing State. Last year we produced an excess of 20,000 cars, and our growing areas are being rapidly extended. In order to produce marketable peaches, we are compelled to fight insect infestation, and give constant care to our orchards both in dormant and growing seasons. In combating the ravages of these insect pests, we make use of a stomach poison, lead arsenate, which is applied either as a dust or as a spray. This laboratory undertook in 1925 an investiga tion which was two-fold in its purpose. We wanted to determine, first, working under the provisions of the Food and Drugs Act and in the light of such information as was obtainable at that time, whether or not the public health was in danger from eating peaches that had been sprayed or dusted with lead arsenate as late as four weeks before harvesting, as is the practice in this State. The other reason was to obtain accurate analytical data as to the conditions existing, which data we wished to place in the hands of our growers for their guidance in the development of their industry along scien tific lines, and perhaps to give them information which would pre vent them from unwittingly falling into the trap of having their fruit embargoed by Federal or State officials on account of excessive spray residue.
The work in 1925 was not extensive enough to enable us to draw definite conclusions. However, in 1926 we covered thoroughly the entire growing area of our State, both in apples and peaches. We have published some of this work in two small pamphlets, one en titled "Arsenical Spray and Dust Residue on Peaches," and the
23

other "Spray Residue on Georgia Apples." You have these bul letins before you. In undertaking the work on peaches, we were fearful lest the investigation show excessive arsenic, which in the absence of any known means of cleaning, might prove fatal to the industry. We were much gratified to learn that the problem was not nearly so serious as we had anticipated, in so far as our peaches were concerned. The maximum amount of arsenic found upon peaches, when expressed as As,o3 in grains per pound, was .0046, well within the limit set by medical opinion. However, this fact must not be lost sight of. This work covers only one season, and that season was not one which could be deemed a very satisfactory or conclusive one on which to base an opinion. In other words, applications were not as heavy last year, as have been put on in the past, or that may be put on subsequently. At some time in the future, we may have a heavy infestation, necessitating heavier and more frequent spraying, and then conditions at the time of harvest may be entirely different. Our work seems to indicate that dust is more readily and completely removed by the agencies that are at work in the removal of these residues, and it might prove prac tical to make the last application on peaches one of dust instead of spray. Another thing shown by the work done so far is that there is more danger of having an excess of residue on small fruit than on the large. When this work, as it pertains to apples, was taken up, we were again surprised. It was thought that the apple, having a comparatively smooth surface, would readily lend itself to the cleaning processes of nature, but this was not true. Some varieties seemed to hold to the spray and dusting material very tenaciously. The apple, also, is so shaped that it holds considerable residue in the stem and calyx ends. Preliminary work on apples showed that, in many instances, the fruit, before leaving the orchard, was carrying excessive residue. Upon investigation, it was found that nearly all boxed apples were handled through packing houses, and that these houses had some form of brushing or cleaning machinery, which was used to polish the fruit, and thus improve its appearance before being offered for sale. The problem undertaken was to determine the amount of residue on the apples as they came from the orchard, and the amount left on the fruit after passing over the brushes, in other words, to determine the efficiency of these brush ing machines. This, as you can imagine, entailed a tremendous amount of inspection and laboratory work. This work was done, and the growers given the benefit of what we found. We were happy to find that in most instances, where the co-operation of those con cerned was given, and it was freely given in most instances, the brushes already installed cleaned this heavily sprayed fruit to a point where it was entirely satisfactory. In a few instances, one where they were operating a brush with gummed bristles, and another or two, where the speed of the brush and the angle at which
24

it was operated wasn't exactly right, the cleaning was not satisfac tory. However, upon correcting these minor troubles, the machines were made to operate successfully. The variety of apple being cleaned has something to do with the efficiency of the machine. Some apples have a rougher skin than others, and some varieties are flat, and thus are hard to make turn while going over the brush. All of these minor troubles were studied, and with the co-operation of the packing house officials, were eliminated. Where apples were not being sent to packing houses for conditioning, they were re quired to be wiped by hand. We found, in many instances, apples coming into the packing houses with four or five times the amount of residue which, according to medical opinion, should be classed as safe. These apples were cleaned before being placed on the market.
Another project on which we have devoted quite a bit of time is the oyster industry along our coast. Strict sanitary regulations pertaining to the construction, equipment and operation of oyster shucking houses, have been prepared, and strict supervision through a full time inspector is being maintained during the entire shucking season. Samples are drawn from each shucking house, before and after washing and packing, from time to time, submitting to the laboratory for bacteriological examination for contamination. As a result of these strict sanitary inspections, and the checking up afforded by bacteriological examination of the output of the plant from time to time, we have been able to establish a very high standard under which Georgia shellfish are being produced. This standard will be maintained, and will be made even more rigid as the work is carried on. Suffice it to say that a great deal of progress has been made in connection with this particular industry, and I think I can safely say that there is only the remotest possibility of there being an outbreak of typhoid fever as a result of eating Georgia oysters.
Quite a bit could be said regarding work which has been done along these various projects, but, as outlined at the beginning of this report, it would consume too much space, and I am, therefore, going to conclude the matter by calling your attention to the various publications which we have issued covering this work.
Below you will find an itemized list of the various food products, which we have worked on during the past two years, for details of which I refer you to our monthly bulletin entitled "Food, Drug, and Feeding Stuffs," Volume 12, Nos. 1-12, inclusive, and Volume 13, Nos. 1-12, inclusive.

FEEDING STUFFS

Commercial feeding stuff samples are submitted to the feed

laboratory for complete analysis, including moisture, protein, fat,

fibre, ash, and carbohydrates. A tremendous amount of inspec

tion and analytical work is necessary each year to prevent lowering

of our feeding stuffs standards, particularly the by-product feeds,

and to prevent damaged grains, such as bin-burnt wheat and oats,

from coming into the State and being mixed in our commercial

feeds. The following table will show the work done along this line

during the two years covered by this report, details of which may be

found in our monthly bulletin entitled "Food, Drugs, and Feeding

28

The laboratory is well equipped for work on insecticides, and stands ready and willing at all times to assist in every way possible to meet the various emergencies which might arise along this line. During the seasons just passed, the laboratory was called on to make quite a few analyses of insecticides and fungicides.

OIL AND GASOLINE DIVISION
Hon. J. J. Brown, Commissioner of Agriculture. Dear Sir:
I beg to submit for your careful consideration this my biennial report as State Oil Inspector for the years 1925 and 1926.
I herewith attach statement showing number of gallons of gasoline and kerosene that have been inspected each month during these years, and amount of money retained as fees by local inspectors, also the amount remitted by local inspectors to State Treasurer, for which I hold receipt.
From this statement you will see that there were 194,146,375 gallons of gasoline and kerosene inspected in 1926 as against 168,022,835 gallons in 1925, and 146,648,527 in 1924. In 1926 $819,277.46 was turned into the Treasurer as against $686,351.14 in 1925, and $604,463.23 in 1924. As compared with figures of 1917, the first year of your administration, in which 59,138,647 gallons of gasoline and kerosene were inspected, and $217,378.39 turned in to State Treasurer, it will be noted that figures for 1926 show an increase over 1917 of 135,007,728 gallons and $601,899.07 turned in to Treasurer.
All reports have been received and checked by this office on receipt of same, and will advise that all money with few exceptions
31

due the State has been paid into the Treasury. These exceptions are being adjusted.
There have been approximately 30,000 gallons of kerosene re jected and handled as required by law.
Respectfully,
L. H. GLENN,
General Oil Inspector.

PURE FOOD DIVISION
Hon. J. J. Brown, Commissioner of Agriculture.
Dear Sir:--
I beg to hand you herewith for your consideration my report as Chief Food Inspector for the State of Georgia, covering the scope of work done by your Food Inspectors for the years 1925 and 1926.
The records in the office of the Pure Food Division show that during the year 1925 your Food Inspectors visited 16,540 establish ments, and in 1926 15,844 where food was being handled. In some instances they found food being offered for sale under insanitary conditions, but in each instance the inspector pointed out to the party in charge wherein he was violating the Sanitary Laws of Georgia, and such conditions were remedied immediately. How ever, in a few cases it was necessary to issue abatement notices, and in still further instances where our inspectors were working with the inspectors of the various cities, cases were made against such violators and they were tried and fined in the Municipal Courts. As a whole we find the Sanitary conditions have greatly improved, but there is still room for further improvement.
During the year 1925 the inspectors of this Division collected and forwarded to the Laboratory for analysis 671 samples of food, 253 of which were found being offered for sale in violation of the Pure Food Laws of Georgia. In 1926 768 samples of food were collected, 192 of which were found to be in violation of Law. A large per cent of these violations was due to misbranding, and where such was the case the party was permitted to properly label the goods.
Your Food Inspectors also procured in 1925 538 samples of feedstuffs, 144 of which were found to be in violation of Law, and in 1926 they procured 465 feed samples, 143 of which were found to be in violation of Law. In some instances it was necessary to can cel the registrations of some of the feeds, and in other instances where feed was found being offered for sale that did not come up to the standard, such feeds were permitted to be shipped out of the State.
33

During the year 1925 your Food Inspectors issued 59 withholds from sale notices covering various food and feed products being offered for sale in violation of Law, and 304 withholds from sale notices in 1926. These notices cover various violations, such as misbranding, adulteration, damaged food or feed, no inspection tax stamps, etc.; in many instances the product was released as soon as the same was made to conform with the'Law. However, in some instances where the product could not be made to con form to the Law, the same was either permitted to be destroyed, or shipped out of the State.
This Division had encouraged co-operation between our inspectors and the inspectors of the various municipalities, and in this way much good is being done, as the city inspectors can do the follow up work in the absence of our inspectors; also in like manner we have accomplished a great deal towards better sanitation. We also did considerable work in co-operation with the Federal Food Inspectors, in handling interstate shipments, the articles being manufactured in other States, and in this way we were able to give the people of this State protection they could not receive otherwise.
I beg to attach herewith itemized list showing the various products withheld from sale during the year 1925 and 1926 as follows:

During the years 1925 and 1926 the Pure Food Division engaged in several specific projects along Food and Feed Inspection, viz:
35

Oysters, Bakeries, Sausage Manufacturers, etc., which we deemed to be the most important work that we could follow, and the results of our investigation and work have been most satisfactory.
OYSTERS
Owing to a rumor that oysters were a carrier of typhoid germs we made a special trip to the Georgia coast in December 1924 and looked thoroughly over the situation of handling oysters, with a view of establishing rules and regulations governing the handling of oysters in Georgia. We found the system of "Bank" shucking which had been in vogue for many, many years, and which we had tried to regulate from time to time was not satisfactory at all, so in January of 1925 we made a special trip to the eastern oyster terri tory, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia to learn how they handled Shell Fish in that section. Upon our return we called a meeting of all people who were interested in the oyster industry from a production standpoint. Also we got into communication with the U. S. Public Health Service, which had already been at work trying to correct the conditions of shucking and handling oysters, but had not succeeded to any great extent. The State Board of Health rendered us a great deal of assistance in this work, as well as did the Tide Water Commission. After a general survey and conference with all parties concerned we requested yourself as Commissioner of Agriculture, Dr. S. H. Wilson, State Chemist, and Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, State Veterinarian, who have the au thority to issue rules and regulations in regard to sanitation in the handling of food, to issue the rules and regulations that we thought best, this being done we placed Mr. J. F. Seegers, in charge of the oyster work on the coast, who in conjunction with Mr. O. C. Hop kins, of the U. S. Public Health Service, and Mr. J. T. Clancey, Tide Water Commissioner of Georgia, succeeded in bringing up to a high standard all of the oyster shucking, washing and packing plants. We now have in the State of Georgia 39 oyster concerns which are certified under the State and Federal regulations, and all of the oysters that are being shipped from Georgia points, either intrastate or interstate are certified oysters.
We do not hesitate to say that the Georgia oyster now being shipped is as pure, wholesome and delicious as any oyster produced anywhere.
BAKERIES
We have been especially active throughout the State in bringing the Bakeries up to the highest possible standard of cleanliness and sanitation, as well as using in their products wholesome ingredients. We have issued rules and regulations in regard to the conduct of this business from a sanitary standpoint, also as to the proper
36

labeling, showing on the label the name of the product, the name and address of the manufacturer, as well as the net contents. This applies to cakes as well as bread. All of which under the rules and regulations must be wrapped in a manner in which flies, dust and dirt cannot reach them while in course of transit from the bakery to the consumer; we have received splendid co-operation along this line, and we are frank to say that the bakeries themselves find it more profitable and more pleasant in their work than they did be fore we started this project.
SAUSAGE
The making of sausage has always been a mooted question. For several years your Pure Food Division has been working to stop adulteration and misbranding, to see that the product was made in a clean and wholesome way and under proper sanitary conditions, and that same be packed in cartons with proper labeling, showing whether it was a straight meat product, or contained cereal and added water, thereby placing the consumer on notice of what he was buying. The manufacturers of Sausage in this State seem to welcome the work that we are doing, and have responded readily to assist us in our efforts to elevate the conditions; we have a number of evidences from them in which they say they would not return to the old unsanitary way under any circumstances.
There are many other projects that we could mention but we are frank to say that in our judgment there is no work being carried on in the State today which does benefit the people to a greater extent, than the strict adherence to rules and regulations of the Pure Food Laws. You cannot estimate its worth in dollars and cents. Pure Food has a great bearing on the health of our people, especially little children. We have only had one aim, and that is to improve food and sanitary conditions of food manufacturers and food dis tributors, because we know that the health of our people is the wealth of our State.
We take this opportunity to express our appreciation of your interest in this work as you have realized at all times the impor tance of the Pure Food Division and have given us every assistance that was within your power. Each member of the force of this Division appreciates your sincerety and desires to assure you of our best wishes for your future welfare.
Respectfully, J. E. BODENHAMER, Chief Food Inspector.

DRUG INSPECTOR'S REPORT
Hon. J. J. Brown,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
Dear Sir:
On separate sheets I submit my reports in detail as State Drug In spector for 1926 and 1927. A comparison with previous years reports, you will find that my 1927 Report does not contain as many inspections, places visited, and violations found as they did. This is explained in part by ill health during the year, and the further fact that I was compelled to travel by rail, instead of by auto as in previous years. On account of poor rail road schedules, I was unable to do more than half I otherwise would have done. As you know I have never been supplied with an auto, as the other inspectors have. However, I believe that you will concede that the report is commendable, when you consider the "handicaps" I labored under. Again permit me to call your-attention to the "inefficient" Drug laws, under which I work and which afford but little protection to the retail druggist who endeavors to obey the law. Our present Drug laws, were enacted in 1881, or forty-six years ago, and at a time when the Drug business (wholesale, retail and manufacturing) were in their "infancy" and conditions and protective laws, were entirely different to those existing today. The entire Drug laws of the State, ought to be redrafted, so worded, as to meet, and control conditions as they exist today. This work ought to be done by a specially appointed committee from the Georgia Pharmaceu tical Association, which would be fully informed as to the necessary laws.
The Druggists of Georgia as a profession, is composed of the highest class of men from an intellectual, social, moral, and pro gressive standpoint, as well as respect for, and obedience to law, that can be found in the State. I am sure they would appreciate any assistance you might give them in the enactment of better, and more protective laws. In conclusion permit to thank you for the hearty co-operation, and assistance that you have always given me in the discharge of my official duties. You have at all times given me the "Glad Hand," which I most highly appreciate. I also wish to thank Mr. Oscar S. Lee, who was chief inspector and the entire force of inspectors, for the kind, courteous and valuable assistance they have given me at all times when called on. I also wish to thank that "Real American," and highly qualified State Chemist of yours, Dr. Sam H. Wilson, and his corps of competent assistants, for valuable assistance they have given me. With assurances of high personal regard, and best wishes for you, believe me,
Sincerely yours,
T. A. CHEATHAM, State Drug Inspector.

REPORT OF SPECIALIST IN AGRICULTURE AND ECONOMICS

State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.,

Hon. J. J. Brown,

January 5, 1927.

Commissioner of Agriculture. Dear Sir:

I find pleasure in submitting the customary report of the work in which I have been engaged, regularly and systematically since my report of May 5, 1925.

As Specialist in Agriculture and Economics, I have a wide field of endeavor--combined possibilities and actualities--in which to operate. Letters, which come to my desk from what I term "The
Central Office," are full of pertinent inquiries that touch quite every agricultural and economic topic.

A considerable number of such letters reach my desk from the outside--from North Carolina to California; from Florida to Maine. Usually, they are searching inquiries; some of them, at first blush, seemingly difficult of reply in a thoroughly satisfactory manner. However, each such letter has been pleasingly disposed of; answered
in full. Reduced to its last analysis, each letter, no matter how verbose, is practical in character; therefore, easy of reply. During the process necessary to a suitable answer to many letters, one is constantly adding to his stock of knowledge. I have found it so.

One may ask: "Why economics in agricultural affairs? What have they to do with work a-field?" The answer is: Because economics and agriculture are inter-changeable terms. They are inseparable. A lack of economics, so far-reaching in point of ap plicability, means the non-practice of true economy, that is, a vigorous use of money.
In replying to inquiries, I draw on my individual experience a-field from the first days of 1878 up to a few years ago when sum moned to work such as I have been doing since January 1, 1919.
I have religiously abstained from specific advice, I have preferred to make what I deemed to be thoughtful suggestions which could be utilized if one should care to follow them. I clung to facts and figures rather than luminous estimates. Theories and estimates have their place, but not in my work; I know that to be true.
During the eight years I have been in this work, I have not known an idle hour in my office. When routine business had been prop erly disposed of, I turned to work which frequently required re search far reaching in letter and spirit. Research, pursued in the right spirit, is like strolling in pastures new, and walking beside the
still waters.

47

I have laid under contribution to my work several of the great Sunday newspapers, and, through the deservedly popular Gilreath News Syndicate, I have been enabled to speak briefly on farm topics through fifty of the best weekly newspapers in the State.
At my own expense, I have had re-prints made of a number of my newspaper articles for gratuitous distribution. My articles, in every instance, have been free to the newspapers.
I desire heartily to thank you for your oft-repeated kindnesses which greatly strengthened me in my work.
Respectfully, MARTIN V. CALVIN, S. A. and E.
STATISTICIAN'S REPORT
Hon. J. J. Brown, Commissioner of Agriculture,
Dear Sir:
In compliance with your direction, I am handing you, herewith, my biennial agricultural statistical report for the years 1925 and 1926.
This report includes: (a) Tobacco warehouse statistics, which have been recorded and compiled according to the tobacco warehouse law. (b) Annual summary of the principal crops and livestock for each year. (c) County agricultural and livestock statistics for 1926, with comparative figures for previous years. This is our first attempt to give complete county statistics since 1923. There is an ever increasing demand for these statistics. This demand will be more and more pressing as we transform our agriculture to the diversified, livestock and dairy plan. Our fund is entirely inadequate for the work we are trying to do. We should have $10,000.00 appropriated for this statistical work, instead of $2,000.00. North Carolina has $15,000.00.
Respectfully submitted, PETER V. RICE, State Statistician.
