■■nnnBHnilHH 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. * PENNEYLVANlA.

ROBINSON, Ais’t General Pase’r Agent 8AVANNAHL OA. 7 JOB WOUK 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. GA. DBPTi OP AGRICULTURE. IRRIGATION. 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. GA. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE. 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. GA. DEPT, OF AGRICULTURE. A GOOD PLACE.
