A HEAVY CUT Mad by the Georgia Railroad Commla ' aion on Fartilizars. , The Atlanta Constitution of yes terday saysr "The 20 per cent cut on fertilizer rates goes into effect to day. It is said that the farmers have taken a deep interest in this 1 matter, and are more stirred upover it than on any similar question in years. The argument was made before the railroad commission that the proposed reduction would save them from $150,000 to $200,000 a year on freights. . This was denied by the representatives oTthe rail- , roads, who Stated that the middle men would pocket that difference and charge the farmers as" much as though the old rates Were charged; Advices from the interior, how ever, are to the effect that the farmers are clamoring for every cent's difference made by the cutj The competition is. very keen, this year between the agents who sell and they are said to be selling orf small margins. ' - - ' ' -The great bulk, of the product is shipped in January", February and March.- Probably 40 per cent of the output of the factories is moved in January. . , ' ",';' Very little of it has been shipped "f so far this season. Buyers ordered .their shipments hald back until the reduction should-go into effect For the next few days -the movement will be very heavy. Everybody will . want his goods to move while the commission's order is Jn effect. : The argument io to be heard next Wed nesJay, and there is chance that the reduction may be called off after that, but this Is not very confidently, looked for. - . . w s Probably the strongest -. point which the roads made on their side of the case was that the reduction would take a large sum of money out of their treasuries without any com pensation, as it is not belived that the sales will be increased by rea son of the lower freight rate. Fully three-fourths of the product of the factories has been sold now, and if V ere should be a very, much larger dou.-iud for fertilizers, the factories could not supply it. . '. -, :,.;,.' The manufacturers say that if the 2i) per cent cut reduction Jaad been held up for thirty days, no shipments v ould have been made for a month, nn 1 by then the railroads would not have been able to have hauled all the fertilizer in sixty days.
