It is Said Georgia Farmers May Not Use Fertilizers Next Year. Atlanta, Dec. 30.-FertiUzors and rural credits were two subjects con sidered at a meeting in Atlanta yes terday of a number pf organizers and othei officials of tho Georgia Farm ers' Union, at which President O. S. Barrett, of the National Farmers' Un ion, and President J. J. Brown, of the Georgia Union, were present: At the present high prices of ferti lizers, due to tho excessive cost of certain materials entering Into their manufacture and for which European war conditions are responsible, there ls a disposition on the part of the ma jority of Georgia farmers not to uso any fertilizers at all next year. "Wo realize," President Brown said, "the great Importance of using fertilizers and getting the best possi ble yield. But lt must also be real ized that the time can come when fer tilizer prices get so high as to make their use almost prohibitive. Many Georgia farmers think the situation has reached that stage to-day. This ls a problem which we have to con sider, and we are trying to ascertain if there ls any possible way in which to get down tho cost to a working ba sis for the Georgia farmer. While we have reached no solution as yet, we ure going thoroughly into the matter and are hopeful of bringing abovit a better situation than that which now confronts us. "As to the matter of rural credits," President Brown continued, "every body knows just how the farmer stands on that subject. But If we aro going to have rural credits we want the kind that will do us some good. It may as well be understood In the beginning that the farmers of Geor gia, and, I believe, of the whole South, will not sanction a rural credit plan that compels one farmer to put up his land as security, even in small degree for another farmer's debt. This ?jort. of 'landschaft' scheme, 1 understand, is among those proposed to bo considered by Congress, but i( may as- well bo understood now that lt will not answer our purpose. Con gress must give us something better than this if it proposes to satisfy the farmer in the matter of rural credits, and we shall, of course, let them know it. Sciatica's Piercing Pnin.

Bremen, Germany, Dec. 30.-Ger many's substitutes for cotton in mak ing gunpowder have been so success ful that for eight months no cotton has been used, the president of tho Bremen Chamber of Commerce told a convention of merchants. "I have had the opportunity to es tablish officially that for eight months not a kilogram of cotton has boen used for making powder," he said. "Thanks to German science and industry, we have succeeded in Winning from the Immeasurable sup ply of German forests a cellular ma terial which is cheaper and better suited for powder making than cot ton. Even after the war German ammunition factories will not buy another bale of cotton from America. "Tile second important Ingredient -saltpetre-ls now manufactured exclusively in Germany from tho air. Our factories already are so ad vanced that lu the spring they will be nblo to cover the entire require ments for nitrogen, and if the war lasts longer they will even be able to export this product."

Af ter the war there will be no moro Importation of camphor from Japan or turpentine from America, he said. A Bussian is not of age until his 20th year. Banks Go to 17. S. Court. (The State.)
