REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE

Hon. L. G. Hardman, Governor of Georgia, State Capitol, Atlanta, Georgia.

January 1, 1931.

Dear Sir:-

I submit herewith biennial report covering the work of the Department of Agriculture from January 1st, 1929, through December 31st, 1930.
Reports of the different divisions of the Department are included herewith also.
An examination of these reports discloses that the various heads of the divisions have. been faithful in the performance of their duties, and in carrying out the activities which the law places upon their respective heads.
In our report of two years ago, it was shown that sales made through the Bureau of Markets over a period of 18 months totalled $1,802,739.19. In comparison with these sales covering 18 months, the Bureau of Markets, during 12 months of 1929 made sales totalling $1,746,726.91, and during the 12 months of 1930, the total sales amounted to $1,707,255.88, making a total handled direct by the Bureau of Markets over a period of 24 months of $3,453,982.79.
In addition to these sales which were handled direct through the Bureau of Markets, the Market Bulletin of -2ach week carries hundreds of notices of farm products wanted and farm products for sale. Through the medium of these notices, a tremendous amount of farm products is marketed, which sales are not handled through the Bureau of Markets.
In order to form an idea of what results were obtained from
these notices in the Ml'lrket Bulletin, questionnajr(ls w(lr~
8

mailed out periodically to those who had notices in issues of the Market Bulletin, requesting them to notify the Department how many dollars worth of farm products had been sold through this medium in one week, and the replies to these questionnaires show that on an average of $67,000.00 worth of farm products are handled weekly direct between buyer and seller. This, in 12 months, amounts to $3,484,000.00.

As stated above, in the last two years, the Bureau of Markets handled in direct sales $3,453,982.79, or an average of $1,726,991.39 per annum. This, added to the annual sales made direct between buyer and seller of $3,484,000, shows the annual business done direct through the Bureau of Markets and through the medium of the Market Bulletin of $5,210,991.39.

During the year 1929, the entire cost of the Bureau of Markets, including the publication of the Market Bulletin, was $92,466.52, exclusive of fruit inspection, which shows that the entire cost for operating the Bureau of Markets amounts to 1.8% of the business handled through the Bureau of Markets, and through the medium of notices in the Market Bulletin.

During the year 1929, there were 73,260 readers of the Market Bulletin, and in 1930, this increased to 89,728. The average cost of the Bulletin per reader for the two years was 45 cents. The number of readers of the Market Bulletin at this date is a little upward of 100,000.

In 1930, the total cost of operating the Bureau of Markets

and publishing the Market Bulletin was $105,487.73, which

includes $10,521.83 which was expended in an effort to main-

tain a reasonable price on hogs that year.



You will note the increased sales through the Market Bulletin and the Bureau of Markets which have been accomplished in spite of the uniform decrease in prices for these commodities, which demonstrates the great increase in th0 volum~ of .business handled.

A great many of the sales handled direct by the Bureau of Markets were made in co-operation with the county agents.
In 1930, the largest item of direct sales by the Bureau of Markets was hogs, of which 12,821,268 pounds were sold, which brought $1,097,499.50, which shows an increase over 1929 of $392,139.96. These sales were conducted with the co-operation of the county agents in the 42 counties. One hundred and seventeen (117) counties were served with cooperative poultry sales totalling 2,037,587 pounds, representing 155 cars, which brought $440,773.01 to the farmers. The movement of poultry declined 93 cars.
In 1930, the Bureau of Markets handled 518 cars of watermelons, or an increase of approximately 100% over 1929, the Bureau of Markets furnishing bond guaranteeing the freight for the shipper, as the railroads will not accept watermelons for shipment unless freight is paid or guaranteed in advance, and without this bond furnished by the Bureau of Markets, almost one-half of the farmers who ship their melons through the Bureau of Markets would not have been able to move them.
Fertilizer Inspection. In 1929, there were 16,865 samples of fertilizer analyzed
and reported at a total cost, for all purposes, of $123,532.18, or an average cost per sample of $7.32. In 1930, there were 13,097 samples taken, analyzed and reported at a total cost of $95,361.04, or an average cost per sample of $7.28.
Food Inspection. During the period of January 1st, 1929, to December 31st,
1930, a strict inspection has been maintained over the State of both food and feeds. In all this work, the inspectors have endeavored to work in harmony with municipal and county authorities, and a total of 29,859 inspections have been made.
Every effort has been made to answer complaints, in addition to this regular work. On December 31, 1930, 2,705 brands of feeds were registered in the Pure Food Department by 360 manufacturers and jobbers. 'l'hese inspectors also in-
5

sped and check up on weights and scales, and see that proper weights are maintained over the State in so far as is practical.
These inspectors have taken 3,535 samples of food and feed, which have been analyzed by the State Chemist. Veterinary Department.
The State Veterinarian has submitted his report covering the period from January 1, 1929 to December 31, 1930, which is included in this report, and I desire to call to your attention reference in his report to the needed legislation in regard to dairies and milk substitutes.
During the year 1929, this Department, in co-operation with the U. S. Department of Animal Husbandry, tested 89,586 cattle, belonging to 24,039 different owners, and condemned 117 head as tub~rcular cattle. In 1930, 98,636 head of cattle were tested, belonging to 31,247 owners, and 78 were condemned as tubercular. The relatively small number of cattle in Georgia infected with tuberculosis as compared with other states demonstrates the healthfulness of Georgia's climate for cattle.
The report of the State Veterinarian contains a great deal of valuable information as to the various cattle, hog and poultry diseases, which it is necessary to control.
Georgia is now rid of cattle ticks, but it is necessary to maintain a vigilant watch, especially on the borders of the State where cattle are being brought in from other states, to prevent re-infestations from becoming serious.

cluded in full in this report.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE STATE BUREAU OF
MARKETS FOR THE YEAR OF 1929
Hon. Eugene Talmadge,
Commissioner of Agriculture,
State Capitol.
Dear Sir:
In accordance with the provision of the Statute I have the honor as Director of the State Bureau of Markets to submit herewith my report for the year ending December 31, 1929.
The Market Bulletin at the close of business on December 31 had an active circulation of 73,400. This shows an increase for the year of 22,854. We have revised our mailing list for the Bulletin twice during the year. This revision is done through the co-operation of the Postmasters. In this way we eliminate any chance of errors or duplication, as well as remove names of those who have died or moved away. Through this means we dropped during the year 8,440 names, making a net total increase in circulation for th,e Bulletin of 14,374.
The total number of ads carried for the year was 51,142. I am especially pleased to advise that from the 232 complaints we had regarding ads carried, we settled satisfactorily to all concerned 210 during the year. At the present writing we have either settled satisfactorily the remainder of these complaints or denied the parties the use of the Market Bulletein.
You will note that the Market Bulletin for 1929 shows a substantial increase over the preceding year, both in circulation and in number of ads carried. We endeavor to hold the Bulletin to eight pages, but during the past year we published two 24-page issues, one 20-page, ten 16-page, and four 12-page issues. So far as is possible, we endeavor to carry every ad received in this office up through Tuesday Noon in our issue
7

of the following Thursday. There are, of course, exceptions to this, as the size of the Bulletin must be determined on Saturday when we plan to publish an edition larger than eight pages.
From the information we have, the Georgia Market Bulletin is the largest publication of its kind in the United States, both in circulation and in number of ads carried. We are sending the Bulletin to every state in the Union, as well as to Canada, Cuba, and the Canal Zone.
The direct sales made through this Department for 1929 amounted to $1,746,726.91. The total number of Counties served with these sales was 127. Poultry led with 248 cars, bringing a total of $874,855.60. This shows an increase of $450,329.45 over the poultry sales for 1928. We served with poultry cars 116 Counties, 35 of which had no County Agent. The total number of towns served was 740. Hogs came next with 538 cars, bringing a total of $705,359.66. This shows an increase over the hog sales made in 1928 of $119,132.48. We served 52 Counties with these sales.
We have had a representative from this office attend 98% of the co-operative hog sales held during 1929. These representatives supervise the weighing and grading of the hogs, so that there will be no complaint from neither the buyer nor the seller. We also have a representative on the majority of our poultry runs. It is uncommon for the buyer of poultry to request that we have a representative accompany the car. I have no hesitancy in saying that both our co-operative hog and poultry sales have been an incentive to our farmers to improve the quality of both their hogs and poultry. The result of this is already being reflected in the prices received. Am pleased to advise that the prices received at our co-operative poultry sales during 1929 were from 3c to 5c per pound higher than received in any adjoining state.

Enclosed you will find the sales of both poultry and hogs by Counties, also the consolidated total by Counties.
The sales listed in this report do not include sales through the Market Bulletin, but are direct sales made by this office for the farmers. We are of the opinion that the sales mad~ through the Market Bulletin would be several times the amount of the direct sales made through this office, but there is, of course, no way of accurately determining the amount of money received through ads carried in the Market Bulletin.

I cannot recommend to you too strongly the necessity of a Commission Merchants Law in Georgia, and it would include both brokers and jobbers. The only way to eliminate the flyby-night commission merchant or jobber is for the State to require that he be licensed. The Commissioner of Agriculture or the Director of the Bureau of Markets should be empowered with the authority to revoke a license when in his opinion this act has been violated. We are handling at this time with the U. S. Department of Agriculture a complaint against an out-of-the-state concern, with the hope that our evidence will be sufficient for the conviction of this concern under the Produce Agency Act. This Department is called upon weekly for assistance in collecting claims, and making adjustments, and has collected during 1929 several thousand dollars in this way. The majority of these requests are from transactions in which we have played no part.
I am especially pleased to report that our experiment with fresh frozen peaches has been all that we could expect. We have distributed these peaches through some of the leading hotels of the East, Railroad Dining Cars, and they were served to members of the Disarmament Conference on the U. S. S. George Washington, and with but a single exception the com~ ment expressed has been most favorable. Several concerns are interested in this proposition in a financial way. Am of the opinion that next season we will have at least three plants in operation packing fresh peaches. Should this meet with the success that I have every reason to believe it will, within the next few years at least three thousand cars of Georgia peaches will be handled in this manner. This would take care of our over-production and should be the means of advancing the price of our peaches at least 50 cents per package.
The Georgia peach crop for 1929 was the smallest peach crop within the last ten years. The total movement from the state was 5,804 cars. The total number of cars inspected was 5,245. The inspection work last year was exceedingly difficult due to the unusually large number of circulios. Fully fifty per cent of the crop did not grade U. S. l's. Due to the small crop, our inspection work on peaches showed a large deficit.
10

For the first time since the Bureau of Markets was created in 1917, this Department gave Federal-State Inspection on watermelons in 1929. This inspection was, of course, voluntary on the part of the shipper. I would recommend that the Bureau of Markets enlarge on this work and for the coming season give this inspection to every community desiring it. By confining the inspection to groups or communities, am of the opinion it can be done at approximately $1.00 per car. The prices received for melons handled through this Department were most encouraging. The watermelon growers are to a large extent in the same predicament as the peach growers, that is, they are compelled to secure financial assistance to sign either with brokers or selling agents. The cost of this service is entirely too much. The average selling cost is 15c per package on peaches. It has only recently been called to my attention that several operators are charging double commission in the handling of watermelons. In other words, a commission charge is made at both ends.
In co-operation with U. S. Department of Agriculture, this Department issues daily during the peach and watermelon movements a report giving the prices being paid f. o. b. the tracks, and the prices being paid in the leading Eastern and Middle Western Markets. This service is of untold value in enabling the shipper to price intelligently from day to day his peaches and watermelons. It is the intention of this Department during the coming season to give this information each day over the radio, as soon as it has been released. I know of no better service that this Department could render than to stress to our Georgia farmers the necessity of well-graded and well-packed products. Competition in every line is very keen, and it is but natural for us to buy the products most attractively packed.
The work of our Traffic Manager has been most satisfactory. He has been very active in opposing the proposed increases in freight rates on watermelons. This increase in rates will be published within the next ninety days. When this is done it is the intention of the Traffic Manager to petition the Interstate Commerce Commission, asking for a suspension of the rates pending investigation and hearing.
11

Should the Interstate Commerce Commission finally approve of these proposed increased, am of the opinion that it will be after the 1930 crop is moved. Every effort possible should be used to prevent this proposed increase. The services of our rate expert are used by this Department almost daily, as the seller is only interested in the price he receives, and the buyer in what the produce will cost him delivered. We are now in a position to quote a delivered price on all farm products, regardless of where or how they move. Our Traffic Manager opposed before the Public Service Commission the increase of Interstate Rates on peaches under refrigeration, yet a substantial increase was granted. The rates on velvet beans both shell and in pod are entirely out of line with similar products. This Department is endeavoring to have them placed in the same class as fertilizer materials, and am glad to advise that the railroads have agreed to this, and the new tariff will carry a reduction of approximately 42%. Our Traffic Manager has been successful in getting all the railroads handling poultry cars in this state to grant transportation of one attendant on each car. On November 27, 1929, this Department ran the first pick-up hog car ever to be operated in this State, and such was its success that we are planning to arrange other cars to be operated in this way.
Am delighted to advise that this Department was able to operate well within our appropriation. After paying a deficit on peach inspection, we had several thousand dollars balance on January 1, 1930.
Respectfully submitted,
A. D. JONES, Director,
State Bureau of Markets.

Hon. Eugene Talmadge,
Commissioner of Agriculture,
State Capitol,
Atlanta, Georgia.
Dear Sir:
Complying with the Act creating the Bureau of Markets, I beg to submit the following report for the year of 1930 :
On January 1st of this year the Market Bulletin had a circulation of 91,701, which shows an increase for the year of 1930 of 18,311. From the information I have, this is the largest circulation the Bulletin has ever had. Our mailing list was revised once during the year, which is done by sending all the Postmasters a list of the subscribers receiving mail at their office, and having them strike from the list all those who have died, moved away, or who are receiving duplicates. We have had no one soliciting subscriptions to the Bulletin, neither do we place any name on our mailing list unless the request comes direct from the party desiring the Bulletin. The result of this system is that only the people who are interested in the Market Bulletin are receiving it. The Bulletin carried more ads during the year of 1930 than ever before. More than half of the issues published during the year were larger than the standard eight-page paper. We endeavored to hold the Bulletin to eight pages, but during 1930 we published 18 issues of 12 pages, 7 issues of 16 pages, 6 issues of 20 pages, and 3 issues of 24 pages. The total number of ads carried throughout the year was 58,379, which shows an increase of 7,237 ads over the year of 1929. The Market Bulletin is the largest publication of its kind in the United States, both in circulation and in number of ads carried. We are sending the Bulletin to every State in the Union, and also to Canada, Europe, the Canal Zone, Mexico and Cuba. The actual cost of printing and postage for the Market Bulletin for 1930 was $44,641.80. You will note that this amount was approxi-
mately 45% vf the total appropriation re~~ived forth~ Burea\l
17

of Markets. Had we taken into account the expense of writing ads, editing, and mailing the Bulletin, this would have amounted to fully half of our appropriation. I am of the opinion that it would be economy on the part of the State to buy a printing press and print the Market Bulletin on stateowned machinery.
The total sales made through the Bureau of Markets for the year 1930 amounted to $1,707,255.88, which represents the sales being made from 126 Counties. Our carlot sales for the year 1929 amounted to 1,358, in comparison with the carlot sales for 1930 of 1,827, which shows an increase of 469 cars over 1929. These figures represent a 35% increase in volume of carlot sales made by this Department for 1930. Had the general conditions of the country been normal, it stands to reason that this increase in volume would have been reflected in the price received for this farm produce. I am glad to advise that the amount of farm products sold through the Bureau of Markets during the past three years has each year shown an increase in volume over the previous year.
Hogs led these sales in volume with 12,821,268 pounds, which represented 833 cars with a value of $1,097,499.50. This shows an increase over 1929 of $392,139.96. These sales were conducted with the co-operation of the County Agents in 42 Counties.
One hundred and seventeen Counties were served with cooperative poultry sales, with a total tonnage of 2,037,587 pounds, representing 155 cars, and 'bringing $440,773.01 to the farmers. This shows a decrease in the movement of poultry in comparison with 1929 of 93 cars, amounting to $429,764.80. I attribute this decrease in the movement of poultry in carlots to cheap prices, additional use of trucks, and shortage of poultry in the State. The price of poultry during the past year has been very cheap, especially compared with 1929. Our prices, however, will compare favorably with any of the Southeastern States. The prices that we received. during
1929 were from 3c to 5c per pound higher than any of the
adjoining states.

I would respectfully call your attention to the fact that the Bureau of Markets handled 518 cars of watermelons during 1930, which was about 100% increase over 1929. During both 1929 and 1930 this Department furnished bond for any watermelon shipper in the State who desired to use it. As you know, the railroads will not accept watermelons for shipment unless the freight is paid in advance, or the shipper gives bond guaranteeing payment of freight. Without the use of this bond in 1930, am of the opinion that fully 200 of the 518 cars
of melons could not h~ve been moved. In the sale of water~

19

melons, this Department handles the entire transaction. The watermelons are shipped from the Bureau of Markets to the Bureau of Markets. This is done so that we may at all times be in a position to sell or divert immediately. Otherwise, it would be necessary to secure the approval of the shipper before a car could be diverted.
You will note that we collected during 1930, 51 claims on farm produce handled through this Department, realizing a total amount of $1,833.94.
The sales listed above do not include any sales made through ads carried in the Market Bulletin. During 1930 we sent out several hundred letters asking advertisers for the amount they had either bought or sold through the Bulletin. Based on these replies and the number of ads carried in the Bulletin during 1930, the Market Bulletin assisted the farmers of Georgia in selling products valued at approximately $7,955,000. It is a common occurence for advertisers to call this office requesting that their ad be discontinued, due to the fact that their supply has been exhausted or that they have more orders than they can fill from a previous notice carried in the Bulletin.
The Georgia peach crop was the smallest in 1930, with the exception of 1929, that we have grown in the past ten years. The total movement from the State was 8,632 cars. Of this number, we inspected and issued Federal-State Inspection Certificates on 4,109 cars.
In co-operation with the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics, we issued daily Market News Letters during the movement of both peaches and watermelons. This information was released daily around noon, so that the majority of the growers and shippers had in their possession the following morning information regarding the number of cars moved, prices being paid f. o. b. shipping points, also prices being paid in the leading markets of the country. This information is very valuable to carlot shippers. It is my intention to broadcast this information on peaches and watermelons from Ma
20

con, Georgia, each day at noon during the movement this year. It is possible that we will be able to give a similar service to the tobacco growers during 1931.
Respectfully submitted, A. D. JONES, Director, State Bureau of Markets.
Atlanta, Georgia, June 1, 1931.

STATE CHEMIST
February 2, 1931.
Hon. Eugene Talmadge,
Commissioner of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir:
Permit me to submit the following report covering briefly the work done in the Laboratory of the State Chemist dating from January 1, 1929, through December 31, 1930.
Since almost all of this work has been published in detail in bulletin form, I shall give only a brief outline of the work of each Laboratory, and refer to the various published reports. We have carefully carried out official analyses of all samples submitted to us by official inspection forces of the Department, and have drawn conclusions as to whether or not the goods they represent were adulterated or misbranded, or both, within the meaning of the particular regulatory law under which the sample was taken.
Laboratory
The work of the Laboratory during this period was under the direction of Mr. J. Frampton King, State Chemist. Plans for moving the Laboratory were put into effect on November 1, 1930, and at this date the Laboratory is located on State owned property at 254 Capitol Place, S. W., with assurance of marked improvement as to its services. Its capacity has been increased and it is my opinion that from a practical standpoint it is the largest in the South and among the very best in the United States.
Fertilizer, Foods, Drugs, Commercial Feeds, Insecticides, Dairy Products, Legume Inoculations.
The Chemical work required by law to be done in connection with the above subjects and for the several departments under whose jurisdiction these subjects come, has been done at
27

a minimum cost, consistent with good laboratory practice, and the employees in the various Laboratories and office have shown themselves industrious, accurate, and efficient.
The number of samples and interpretative facts will be found in the reports and bulletins of this and the other de-. partments by whom the chemical work was done.
The Laboratory has not only given full co-operation to the State Agricultural Divisions, but also to all other State Divisions, and to other State and Federal Departments whenever its functions and facilities were needed. It has also made such unofficial miscellaneous analyses and given chemical information for the benefit of the general public, and private individuals of the State as could be consistent and reasonably done.
Respectfully submitted, C. REYNOLD.S CLARK, State Chemist.

Ron. Eugene Talmadge, Commissioner of Agriculture, Atlanta, Georgia.

May 29, 1931.

Dear Sir:

We hand you herewith biennial report covering period from January 1, 1929, through December 31, 1930.
We have maintained a strict inspection over the State of both foods and feeds, realizing that this division is charged with the responsibility of the enforcement of the Food and Drug Acts of this State, and the rules and regulations of this department in conformance thereto, to the end that the citizens of this State shall be safeguarded against the adulteration, misbranding, and imitation of foods for man and beast, of beverages, candies and condiments.
Your food inspectors have at all times endeavored to work in closest harmony with both municipal and county authorities in an effort to find the best means of enforcing the food and feed laws; and in interstate shipments have also cooperated with the handling of food and fruits of all kinds.
A total of 29,859 inspections have been made. In addition to our regular survey work, many special trips have been made on complaints, which are not given on our regular form for reporting inspections. These special trips are made in our endeavor to follow through and investigate fully any complaints or requests coming into this office. On December 31st, 1930, we had 2,705 brands of feeds registered in this office, by 360 different manufacturers and jobbers.
In order to protect the consumer from fraudulent and adulterated food and feeding-stuffs, regulatory samples have been taken of both foods and feeds sold in this State, and analyses made of these samples by the State Chemist. We have observed the project plan in the taking of samples, and have taken up and followed through the following projects: Cotton

29

Seed Meal, Loaf bread, poultry feed, chicken scratch feeds, horse and mule feeds, syrup, mixed wheat feeds, beverages, wheat bran, wheat shorts, butter, dairy feeds, coffee, 1lour, extracts, vinegar, honey, and olive oil. In addition to the above, miscellaneous samples were taken and analyzed of many other foods and feeds.
In order to protect the consumers from short weights your inspectors also check up on the weights and scales and see that customers get the quantity as well as the quality of food and feeds. We are pleased to report that there are very few complaints as to weights now.
A total of 1,278 withhold-from-sale notices have been issued. In numerous instances our inspectors have avoided issuing withhold notices on food and feeds where there was only some slight deviation from the letter of the law; but we have stayed on the job, and have had the irregularities corrected and the law complied with. A large percentage of the violations in regard to food and feed products is due to mislabeling or misbranding, and in most instances the manufacturer, jobber or distributor was permitted to properly relabel same.
A total of 3,535 samples of food and feed have been sent in by the Inspectors for analyses by the State Chemist.
We are pleased to report that quite an improvement has been noted in the sanitary condition of places handling food for sale or serving it to the public. A total of 271 notices have been issued to abate the insanitary condition of places handling food for sale. These notices are always followed up by the Inspector, often in co-operation with the municipal or county authorities, and very satisfactory results have been obtained.
Your cotton oil mill Inspector has given closest attention to the operation of the cotton oil mills in the State, most of which manufacture feeding-stuffs as well as other products. We are pleased to report that cotton seed meal is now of a higher standard than heretofore.
Your dairy Inspector-working jointly with thi~ a~ well a~
80

the State Veterinary Department-has inspected the dairies in all sections of the State, and reports that the condition of the dairies have greatly improved.

Your Sanitary Engineer makes a rigid inspection of all oyster packing and shipping plants, as well as the beds along the coast, thus insuring the public that all oysters and shell-fish offered for sale are from certified packing plants and in good sanitary condition. We have issued certificate of inspection to 28 houses, where the packers and shippen; have complied with the law governing same.

We are pleased to report a wonderful improvement in sanitary conditions of stores, hotels, and cafes, and also in the grades of feeds being sold in this state.

Three of your Inspectors are expert peanut graders, and they have graded quite a lot of peanuts for the farmers of this State during the year.

We have made every effort to encourage and serve the farmers of this state; and to encourage the manufacturing industry of the state, which industry utilizes the raw materials from our Georgia farms. We have at all times tried to give the manufacturer, distributor and dealer just and fair treatment; and at the same time as officers of the law to uphold the standards fixed by this department in order that the consumers in the State may be protected.

Our interpretation of the law is in the interest of the public safety, and that the lives and health of all our citizens may be protected.

We are attaching hereto summary of the work done in this

Division.

Respectfully submitted,

J. C. THRASHER,

Chief Food Inspector.

Our Pharmacy Laws, narcotic laws, and paint laws should be amended in some points in order to get the best results in law enforcement. I have a keen sense of appreciation of your attitude toward law enforcement and am sure that it has been of substantial aid to me in my work.
Our assistant inspectors in the drug and paint divisions, including our office force, have been attentive and co-operative. The weight of our drug inspection has been augmented through the generous co-operation of the Food Division with whom the Drug Division is associated.
The achievement herewith reported has been accomplished on a constructive basis in the interest of public health.

Yours very respectfully,

Copp: Mr. Carreker, Chief Clerk

A.M. STEAD,
Chi{lf Drug Inspector,

Honorable Eugene Talmadge,
Commissioner of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Georgia.
Dear Sir:
I submit the following report which covers the activities of the Veterinary Division, Department of Agriculture, for the period from January 1, 1929, to December 31, 1930.
NEW LEGISLATION
The Georgia Legislature at its 1929 session amended the 1914 dairy laws, authorizing and requiring the State Veterinarian to inspect creameries, dairies, condenseries, butter, cheese and cream factories; to obtain statistics from such plants; to provide for licensing of cream testers', cream sta tions and manufacturing plants. The new law was immediately put into operation and, I believe, has been of value to our Georgia dairymen, as well as the general public. However, in fairness to Georgia dairymen this law must be amended so as to restrict milk and milk products coming into this State from other states unless such milk or milk products has been produced under as good or better sanitary requirements as is exacted of Georgia dairymen. The effect of the present system of sale and distribution of oleomargarine and butter substitutes in competition with natural dairy products on the economic development of the Georgia dairy industry should receive careful consideration by the next General Assembly.
TUBERCULOSIS
The eradication of bovine tuberculosis is of major importance; this disease can and must be eradicated from animals. Many human cases of tuberculosis have been traced directly to a bovine source of infection.
The Department has made considerable progress towards eradicating bovine tuberculosis in Georgia since systematic work beg&n in the fall of 1927.
36

ln cooperation with the federal government and the respective county commissioners we have tested all cattle in the following counties: Banks, Bartow, Cobb, Clarke, Catoosa, Chattooga, Cherokee, Dade, Douglas, Dawson, Floyd, Fannin, Forsyth, Gordon, Gilmer, Gwinnett, Hall, Hart, Haralson, Habersham, Lumpkin, Milton, Murray, Madison, Oconee, Polk, Pickens, Rabun, Union, White, Walker and Whitfield. All reactors to the tuberculin test have been slaughtered under inspection. ':l'he work is nearing completion in four other counties.
The percentage of reactors to the test has been unusually low, as compared with some of the dairy states. We attribute the low percentage in reactors to the fact that for many years practically all dairy cattle supplying milk to the larger cities have been tested by this Department for tuberculosis. ln the past the percentage of reactors in some of the dairy herds reached as high as 50%, and even more in some cases. Un the other hand, many large herds were found to be free of this disease on the first and on subsequent tests. All reactors to the tuberculosis test are slaughtered under official inspection, the infected premises cleaned and disinfected, and retests made on each herd in which infection is found until the entire herd is free of tuberculosis.
The counties in which we have completed the work represents a vast area. Before any county is released from quarantine and recognized by the- State and Federal governments as "Modified Accredited Tuberculosis Free Area" all cattleirrespective of age or breed-in such area must pass a negative tuberculin test and every reactor to the tuberculin test must be slaughtered. To prevent the introduction of bovine tuberculosis into these counties we provide by regulations and inspections that no cattle be taken into this "Modified Accredited Tuberculosis Free Area" until such cattle have been tuberculin tested and found free of tuberculosis. Cattle from accredited herds or from "Modified Accredited Tuberculosis Free Areas" may be shipped direct into the Modified Accredited Areas.
During the year of 1929, in cooperation with the U. S.
37

.Bureau of Animal Industry, we tested 89,586 cattle belonging to 24,039 different owners and condemned 117 tubercular cattle. In 1930 we tested 98,636 cattle belonging to 31,247 different owners and condemned 78 reactors. These figures, especially when compared with the number of tubercular cattle found in older dairy states, bear eloquent testimony as to healthfulness of our climate and our cattle.
CONTAGIOUS ABORTION OR BANG'S DISEASE
Contagious abortion (Bang's Disease) is an infectious disease communicable to practically all domestic breeding animals. This disease has for years been an endless source of worry to live stock breeders, especially to cattle raisers. There is one feature of this disease that is not fully understood by the average breeder; that is, all animals infected with the Bacillus Abortus (Bang) do not abort. Abortion is merely one symptom of the disease and is not constant in all animals. It is a common belief that if a cow does not abort she is not infected; this impression is wrong and has led to much controversy as to the importance and the results of the test for this disease. Careful investigations have demonstrated that infected cows that do not abort but carry calves to maturity are fully as dangerous in a herd of susceptible animals as those that abort. Infection with the abortion organism may induce sterility of the animal even tnough no abortions take place. Sterile, non-breeding animals are a material handicap in every breeding or dairy herd. The blood test for abortion is reliable. As soon as breeders understand and accept the basic facts .relating to this disease, greater headway will be made in the control and eradication of this great live stock plague.
The increasing demand for control measures of contagious abortion during the past ten years is a good indication of the active interest taken by cattle breeders throughout the State.
In the past the Department has tested herds wherever and whenever a request for such test was made witnout a definite policy regulating the disposal of reactors. This practice has not been very effective in lessening the disease in the State,
38

because some uhscrupulous breeders used the information thus obtained to unload their reacting cattle to unsuspecting buyers. In some cases the spread of this disease can be traced to such practices. To prevent such evil practices and to make the control work more effective, we now require a form of agreement to be entered into by the owner and the Department before we test the cattle. This agreement provides for free service by the Department, and the owner pledges to eradicate the disease by slaughter of the reacting animals and by practicing sanitary measures to prevent reinfection of the premises and ammals. During 1930 37 herds were placed under supervision of the Department under the cooperative agreement referred to. When these herds are freed of the disease and the owners have complied with every provision of the contract, the Department will issue to the owner a certificate declaring his herd to be an "Accre<4ted Abortion Free Herd." This accreditation certificate is good for one year from date of issue unless revoked for viQlation of the agreement or reinfection of the herd.
During 1929 our Laboratory tested 7,765 blood samples for contagious abortion; during 1930 we tested 15,333 blood samples for this disease. All of these tests were made free of cost to the cattle owners.
In addition to this work the Laboratory has tested more than 600 poultry flocks for bacillary white diarrhea and con ducted several hundred bacteriological examinations in the diagnosis of infectious diseases of various animals submitted from every section of the State.
HEMORRHAGIC SEPTICEMIA
Hemorrhagic septicemia is a rather common infectious disease of all domestic-and some wild-animals and birds. It is not a primary disease. The organism causing hemorrhagic septicemia are normally found in soil and animal bodies; it is only when some condition that lowers the natural resistance of the animal body that this germ becomes pathogenic and produces disease.
39

Among the conditions which will lower an animal's resistance to disease may be mentioned parasites, sudden changes of the weather, chilling during long periods of wet weather, insufficient feeding, general insanitary surroundings and polluted water supply.
In acute outbreaks the disease is highly fatal. During acute attacks the virulency of the organism is raised to a point where it will readily infect and even kill other susceptible animals that come in contact with the sick animals or that range over the fields or pastures in which animals have died of hemorrhagic septicemia.
During 1930 there were reported nine outbreaks of this disease.
BLACKLEG
Blackleg-another soil born disease-affecting especially young cattle, has been more prevalent in the State during the past two years than in former years.
So far most outbreaks of blackleg in Georgia have been north of the Columbus-Augusta line. Treatment of this disease is very unsatisfactory. Once the disease appears in a community, all young cattle should be immunized against blackleg; but it is not a good policy or sound practice to vaccinate against this disease until it actually appears in a community. After it appears all young cattle should be vaccinated each year until the disease is under full control; and, even then, vaccination is cheap insurance against new outbreaks of this disease.
HOG CHOLERA
A vast majority of the general public believe 95%, or more, of all hog diseases are cholera. Careful investigations extending over a period of years revealed other conditions and swine diseases which may affect hogs independently or in combination with hog cholera. Upon investigation, about 50% of reported outbreaks of hog cholera were found to be infectious necrotic enteritis, swine flu, necro-basilosis, swine plague, and, in many instances, excessive parasitic infestation. Each
40

reported outbreak was promptly investigated and immediate . steps taken to eradicate and prevent the spread of the disease.
Hog owners will find it profitable to raise hogs free of worms; this can be done by any farmer and it will pay.
Hog owners must recognize the fact that vaccinating hogs with serum and virus cannot eradicate other hog diseases, and unless properly and timely administered even serum and virus does not control cholera; it may take sanitation, rotation of pastures and constant control of all movements of infected swine in addition to immunization to eradicate the disease.
When properly administered, hog cholera serum and virus is a specific against hog cholera; the administration of serum and virus to hogs affected with other disease or when heavily infested with parasites frequently leads to breaks that set up new centers of hog cholera infection; therefore, the handling and use of virulent hog cholera virus should be restricted to only those qualified to handle such products. Hog cholera will not be eradicated as long as virus is distributed promiscuously to any and everybody.
POULTRY DISEASES
The poultry industry of Georgia is of vital economic importance in the agricultural industries of the State. In volume it surpasses, and in value it probably matches, either the hog or cattle industries. It is possible that, given adequate support, Georgia, in a few years, will be in a class with California or New Jersey as a poultry-raising state.
The expansion of every industry accentuates and multiplies its disadvantages; this general law holds good in the poultry industry. Though, comparatively speaking, Georgia is free of many diseases that, at present, worry flock owners in older poultry centers of the country; yet, even now, poultry diseases are more numerous in Georgia, and, at times, more disastrous, than in the past. Tuberculosis which is quite prevalent in other poultry raising states is seldom found in Georgia flocks. Therefore, this Department issued and put into effect a ruling requiring all poultry shipped into the State for breeding purposes to be tested for tuberculosis at point of origin.

Most infectious diseases that appear from time to time in flocks throughout the State will, if taken care of in time, result. in only small losses. Carelessness in a flock management during any infectious disease may cause considerable loss to the individual owner and such disease may spread over a large territory resulting in extensive community losses. A large number of flocks have been vaccinated against fowl typhoid, fowl cholera and chicken pox by this Department during the past two or three years in our efforts to keep such diseases under control and to reduce the individual flock losses.
Some diseases appear in flocks as a result of improper management, faulty breeding and insanitary conditions about the premises; for instance: colds, diphtheria, roup, intestinal disorders and parasites, both internal and external. Parasites are the direct cause of more poultry diseases and more poultry losses than would at first be thought possible. Parasites lower the vitality of the individual bird, thus making it an easy prey to infectious diseases. Parasitic control of flocks and premises will materially reduce losses from disease.
In small chicks the disease most prevalent from about four weeks of age to maturity is intestinal parasites and coccidiosis; both due to infected premises, insanitary housing, and crowding. Proper management and sanitation can and will prevent material losses from these causes.
Bacillary white diarrhea or pullorum disease in baby chicks is an infection which originated in the hen and attacks the chick at the time it leaves the shell. The losses due to this disease can hardly be estimated. All infected chicks do not die. Virile chicks that recover may harbor the disease in their systems only to later spread it through the eggs laid. This disease is controlled through eliminating infected birds from the breeding flock. Since no funds have been appropriated with which to carry on this work, this Department has, for the past few years, cooperated with the Georgia Baby Chick Association in conducting the flock tests. During the season of 1928-29 a total of 31,660 blood samples from 234 flocks were tested in our Laboratory. During the season of 1929-30 51,198 blood samples from 250 flocks were tested.
42

The testing work of the 1929-30 season has not been completely reported and checked up at this time.
Greater efforts should be made to encourage the Georgia poultry industry. A vast majority of those interested in the poultry industry are tax payers. Not only do they pay ad valorem taxes on their property, but all store bought feed fed to the 9,000,000 birds is paying a pure food stamp tax.
TICK ERADICATION
Until tick eradication in Florida is completed, the cattle industry of Georgia should be protected against reinfestation with cattle fever ticks. We maintain inspection along the Georgia-Florida border for the purpose of inspecting movements of cattle coming into Georgia from Florida. In addition we maintain cattle inspection at immediate slaughter centers in Georgia for the purpose of checking up on all cattle coming to these centers. Since each immediate slaughter center draws cattle from several adjoining counties, we get a full inspection on a major percentage of all cattle marketed from the grazing sections of Georgia.
Some tick eradication work on account of reinfestation or exposure to reinfestation, has been conducted in the following named counties: Brooks, Brantley, Baldwin, Cook, Clinch, Camden, Chatham, Charlton, Colquitt, Coffee, Decatur, Echols, Glynn, Grady, Irwin, Lowndes, Muscogee, Thomas, and Ware.
Our inspectors are all practical cattlemen. In addition to inspecting cattle, as provided for in the tick eradication program, they have kept in touch with the cattle breeders and assisted them in selecting and purchasing pure bred sires to improve their herds. Cattle owners frequently call on us for this service; especially breeders from the open range section of South Georgia. Most pure bred sires introduced in the open range section are of the beef breeds.
The eradication of the cattle fever tick in Georgia has given the cattle industry a wonderful opportunity to grow arid prosper. From a financial standpoint I do not know of any crop that has or can surpass the revenue derived from a good
43

calf crop, taking into consideration the cost of production and marketing.
Successful production of cattle in Georgia could not have reached the point it has today without the eradication of the cattle fever tick to pave the way.
It is advisable for Georgia to keep a close watch on all movements of cattle coming in from other states as long as other neighboring states still harbor fever ticks. Past experience has demonstrated that it is less costly to prevent infestation than it is to clean up reinfestation. Infestations are always annoying, troublesome and expensive to the cattle owners and to the State.
With close inspection for the next two years, in my opinion, our danger of reinfestation will be reduced to a minimum.
GLANDERS
Glanders, an infectious disease of horses and mules principally, although transmissible to man, has been of rare occur<ence in Georgia. When we consider that Atlanta is the second largest mule market in the world, our freedom from this disease is remarkable.
Many demands are made on this Department to examine mules and horses suspected of having glanders. A large percentage of the symptoms found in such reported cases have proven to be due to bad teeth, some form of cold or influenza.
The first outbreak of glanders found in Georgia since 1920 was discovered in the spring of 1930. This outbreak covered a period of about four months; fourteen animals were found infected and were destroyed. The outbreak spread into five counties and was located on six premises. All horses and mules exposed to infected animals were tested. A total of 114 mules and horses were tested on 53 premises that had been exposed to infected animals. All infected premises were quarantined, thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
Since we have no appropriation for reimbursing live stock owners for horses and mules killed on account of having
44

glanders, I recommend that a sufficient sum be appropriated for this purpose.
MEAT MARKET AND SLAUGHTER HOUSE INSPECTION
Though an enormous transformation has taken place in the operation and sanitary standards of meat markets and slaughter houses since the first legislation on this subject in 1914, much remains to be done.
A law without specific appropriation for its enforcement is, in many respects, like a bank without money; even a department of state cannot operate efficiently and effectively without funds. To function properly the meat market and slaughter house division should have not less than two full time veterinarians assigned to it.
The Department should be given authority to promulgate and enforce uniform state slaughter house regulations which would qualify and authorize Georgia meats slaughtered in conformity with these regulations to be sold in any city in the State. As matters now stand, each city has a specific ordinance, all of which recognize federal meat inspection stamps, and very few of them recognize Georgia's Municipal Meat Inspection service. As a result of this anomaly, Georgia's meat and meat products are discriminated against in Georgia markets. This is unfair and exceedingly unfortunate. The remedy lies in a coordinated statewide meat inspection program that will open Georgia markets to Georgia producers and at the same time assure the consuming public of quality equal to meat and meat food products sold under federal inspection stamps. Properly coordinated, such a program would cost far less than the economic benefits derived therefrom.
Every slaughter house in the State desiring to market their product throughout the State should be licensed by the State Veterinarian and operate under regulations promulgated by him, including anti and postmortem inspection of all animals slaughtered in each plant. The local expense of inspection, as now, should be carried by each local plant.
45

The duty of the State Veterinarian and his deputies would be required to coordinate and standardize methods of inspection and sanitation at each plant. Such a system would open up a vast field for local consumption of Georgia meat products instead of, as now, favoring the sale of federal inspected meats from other states.
During the years of 1929-30 we have had, each year, in excess of 1,000 meat markets, 20 abattoirs and several county slaughter houses under inspection.
Modern refrigeration has been of great value in establishing an advanced standard in the operation of meat markets.
As in the past, I submit a list of meat and meat products shipped into Georgia from other states. I again call attention to the item of dry salt pork meat-42,185,605 pounds (more than 1,000 car loads containing 40,000 pounds each)-practically all of which is consumed on Georgia farms and all of which could and should be produced by Georgia farmers.
-SEE~ STATISTICS ATT'ACHED----
THE DAIRY INDUSTRY
In spite of a rapidly declining marke't and unfair manipulation on the part of some large distributors, our dairy industry has made some progress during the past two years.
But if we expect to develop a dairy industry of worth while magnitude in Georgia, we must have and enforce laws that will give Georgia farmers a fair opportunity to sell their products on Georgia markets ; we must have laws that protect the Georgia dairymen against unfair practices of unscrupulous distributors; we must regulate the distribution and sale of dairy products on a basis that will guarantee to the producer as well as to the distributor a fair compensation for his labor and a fair interest on his investment.
In no industry is the spread between the price the producer gets and the price the consumer pays as great as in the milk industry.
46

It is unreasonable to expect men and women to invest in dairy equipment and cattle for milk production when the returns for their market milk will scarcely pay for the cow feed.
If in the interest of public health it is fair, and I think it is, to set a high standard for the production of Georgia market milk, it is unjust and unfair to permit corporations to ship milk in from filthy and questionable sources in other states for the express purpose of controlling the Georgia milk market.
No milk or milk products from other states should be permitted to be sold in Georgia unless such milk or milk products are produced under as good or better sanitary conditions than is required of Georgia farmers.
Considering that many dairies have operated on a small margin of profit during 1930, it is remarkable how many improvements were made in dairy equipment during the year.
It is hoped that the prevailing disastrous prices of early 1931 will soon return to normalcy.
In 1929 we issued 58 licenses for manufacturing dairy products; 118 cream testers' permits for testing milk on but- terfat basis; all cream testers were examined at the respective cream stations or milk plants as to their efficiency and qualifications before permits were granted; 90 licenses for cream stations; 4,816 milk samples were collected and tested for butterfat; 2,100 milk samples were collected and submitted to the State Chemist for analysis.
In 1930 we issued 140 licenses for manufacturing dairy products; 169 cream testers' permits for testing milk on butterfat basis at cream stations and milk plants; 98 licenses for cream stations; 11,849 milk samples were collected and tested for butterfat; 4,955 milk samples were collected and submitted to the State Chemist for analysis.
Periodic inspections of all cream stations, milk plants and da,iril;)s a,re made by our inspectors. Some of these inspections
47

are made in cities in cooperation with the City Dairy Inspector.
It has been necessary to close several cream stations temporarily in order to get them cleaned up ar.d put in proper shape for handling milk products in a sanitary manner, and in some instances of inefficiency cream testers' permits were revoked.
It requires constant periodic inspection to keep some dairies in necessary sanitary condition and maintain suitable equipment for the production of clean, pure milk.
In general, I believe Georgia dairymen have shown as much or more improvement in the past two years as they have in several previous years; yet many improvements must be made and numerous problems must be solved before our dairy industry is on a sound, business basis.
Very respectfully, J. M. SUTTON, State Veterinarian.
