No Remedy Equals It.
Dr. C. Lanx.of Los Angeles } Oal., who
his been a druggist and chemist for for
ty-one jears, says: “I enn honestly say
that I have never made or sold a rheu
matic remedy that gives such a large
percentage of oures as URIOSOL.” It
also pleasantly builds up the general
system. Every sufferer should try it
and not be deluded into trying other
t hings eaiu to be “just as good.” Drug
gists sell it at $1.00 per bottle, or Bix
bottles for $5,00. *

W EATLY EXECUTED
AT THIS OFFICE
Before the civil war rice was one
of the staple crops of Georgia, and
was a great source of profit to those
who cultivated It. But changed labor
conditions, lack of necessary capital
and other causes have prevented the
complete reaction pf this industry
which, In Georgia, was wrecked by the
war.
Yet with favorable conditions the
cultivation of rice must be very pro
fitable, because there Is an increasing
demand for it and the present annual
production in the United States is
only about half as great as the annual
consumption.
Rice is chiefly grown on lands that
are low, level and easily irrigated,
yet there are varieties that can be
grown on fertile lands without irriga
tion. Some of these upland varieties
have-been successfully cultivated in
the northern counties of Georgia. But
they are not equal in quality to the
lowland rice produced by irrigation.
Upland rice may be grown on any
soil adapted to wheat or cotton, pro
vided the climate conditions are favor
able.
The best soil for rice is a medium
loma, containing about 50 per cent, of
clay. A large proportion of the rice
grown in Georgia is produced on tidal
deltas. A body of land along some
river and at a distance from the sea
sufficiently great to be free from salt
water is selected with reference to the
possibility of flooding it from the river
at high tide and of draining it at low
tide. In Georgia are also found ex
cellent marshes upon what may be ro-
latlvely termed high land. Uusally
these <htn be easily drained and in
many cases can be irrigated from some
convenient stream. On these tracts,
however, the water supply Is unre
liable, being insufficient in time of
drouth, and too cold in case of fresh
ets. Although reservoirs to obviate
these objectidns are expensive, yet un
der favorable conditions t.liese inland
marshes are Improved at less expense
than the delta lands and the results
remunerate well tho time and labor
expended upon them.
The time for plowing differs with
different lands and circumstances, but
in wet culture the plowing is generally
done in the spring shortly before plant
ing time. In Georgia it is the custom
with many to plough or dig over with
a hoe early In the winter.
Some planters advocate shallow
plowing; but, if the soil is well drain
ed deep plowing is considered by many
to be more profitable. If deep plowing
just before planting brings too much
alkali to the surface, a good remedy is
to plow a little deeper than the pre
vious plowing just after the harvest.
The alkali will then be washed out be
fore the spring. Shortly after the plow
the disk harrow should be used and
then followed by the smoothing har
row, next, in order to secure the best
results, the harrow should be followed
with a heavy roller, which will crush
the lumps making the soil more com
pact and conserving the moisture for
germinating the grain. Then it will
be unnecessary to flood for sprouting.
Thorough drainage and deep plow
ing have been found to be the only
effective way to dispose of the alkali
that is brought to the surface by Irri
gation. As the'water Is drained away,
the excess of soluble salts is carried
off.

COMMI8SINERS OF AGRICULTURE
HOLD MEETING.
Recently the Cotton States Asso
ciation of the Commissioners of Ag
riculture held their fourth annual con
vention in, Nashville, Term. Many
able papers were read on this occa
sion, and the commissioners also esti
mated that the aggregate of the en
tire cotton crop for all the southern
states for the season of 14K>-1402
would approximate 9,713,349 bales.
This association, which has been of
great service to the farmers of the
south, was organized at tho instance
and through the incidence of the dho^-
gla Department of Agriculture, and
their first meeting vm held in Atlanta
in the summer of 1899.
In view of the very short crop
corn raised in Georgia, and the partial
failure of the hay crop, wb advise the
farmers to plant more than .the usual
crop of wheat, so as to have the aver
age amount for grinding into flour
and a large surplus to be used Jor
feed for live stock. This extra
amount of wheat should be out in the
dough state. JPhen it will serve lor
both corn and hay.
GA. DEP’T OF AGRICULTURE.
Mr. W. R. Welke in Farm and
Ranch for July 26th, 1902, Writing for
his own State, Texas, says: “If the
rice farmer could find means to irri
gate his field and keep it for weeks,
and even months, under water, why
should the cotton, wheat and corn
raising people not be able to give their
fields one, or even two irrigations, one
before and another during the drouth
The subterfuge that it costs too mueh,
that the farmer is not able, is untena
ble. The fact Is that, either he does
not believe In It, or he is too indolent
to get out of the old rut. If he Is not
able to do it alone, can’t he combine
with his neighbor? It seems that the
hundreds of thousands of dollars in- *
vested every year in costly farm ma
chinery rusting and rotting in the rain,
could have been better employed on
Irrigation plants, that would enable the
buyer to have something to reap and
thrash. The best reaping and thrash
ing machinery cannot harvest a crop
that is not grown. Good cultivation
goes far to make a crop, but, if there
is not sufficient moisture in the soil
to dissolve the plant and enable the
foot to assimilate the same, there will
not be a paying crop, even on the best
available bottom soil, even if the sub
soil is taking some moisture from the
lower strata and a half a bale of cotton
or 20 bushels of corn to the acre may
be raised on this exraordinary soil.
Two bales of cotton and 80 to 100
bushels of corn to the acre with one
good irrigation at the right time would
make the gravest farmer smile. The
upland or prairie farmer is still more
in need of irrigation that the owner of
rich alluvial bottom lands.”
Now we will add to this remark of
Mr. Welke’s lrigation may not be prac-
tlcible on all Georgia farms, but there
are sections of the State where it is
practicable, and where it would se
cure to the farmer Immunity from
drouth and consequent failure of
crops.

WHEN TO SELL AT A PROFIT.
We find the* folowing good advice
In the “Massachusetts Ploughman” of
July 26th, 1902: f “It is one thing to
know how to fatten cattle or swine at
the lowest possible cost, and another
thing is to know how and when to sell
them at a profit. We know but one
sure rule for the selling part, though
we could give nearly a dozen for the
fattening. Sell them when they are
well fitted for slaughter; a day or a
week later means extra feed and small
gain; a day or a week less means a
lower price than might be obtained if
they were in prime condition. Some
have had experience enough to tell
this by the look and feel of the animal.
Others need the help of the scale to
tell them when the gain in weight Is
enough to pay for the food given. The
scale is more likely to be accurate
than the shrewdest guesses. Do not
make the mistake of feeding to long
after they have reached the prime
joint.
GA. DEPT, OF AGRICULTURE.
GEORGIA BEEF CATTLE.
With many people there is great
objection to western beef on'acount of
the taste that clings to most of it
from the materials that have been
used in the cold storage plants, to
keep it in good condition for the mar
ket.
When Georgia beeves have been
well fattened and properly cared for,
their flesh is much preferred by many
people. Hitherto the supply has never
been sufficient to meet the demand.
In view of the high price of western
meat, a fine opening is presented for
enterprising Georgia framers. If they
will set aside part of their land for
the pasturage of beef cattle and breed
from the best beef strains, we shall
soon have fine packing houses at hon^e
and with an abundant supply of homd-
raised beef, prices will come down to
the level of the poor man’s purse.
GA. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE.
WHERE TO PLACE A MANURE
RESERVOIR.
Never build a manure cellar under
the stable; for it will affect the air
breathed by the animals, or fill the
cow stables with microbes that will
surely affect the flavor of the milk
and the butter made from it. The
manure should be stored In a shed
outside. It may cost more, but it will
pay every time.

contributes his best efforts ;and his views
of political events as they arise from
time to time can not faU to interest those
who study public queSnons. _ .
