SAVANNAH. GA.
It Is the Duty of Every Man to Aim
High—'He Who Makes His Living
by-Tilting the Soil Should Bo no Ex-
ception to This Rule.
Talk of the Commissioner.
I have written many letters urging
the farmers of Georgia to take the one
step that will make our great State
absolutely self-supporting, andf some-
times I have feared that my persis
tence would weary them. But when
one knowe that he is right, he must
persevere.
Ia recent talks from this department
it has been shown that Georgia ls not
yet the self-supporting State that she
was previous to the civil war. Though
there Is in this respect great Improve
ment, much yet remains to be done.
Until every needed step has been tak
en, it behooves the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture to give line upon
line and precept upon precept.
In many section® of our State there
Is still time for the sowing of wheat,
rye and barley. By as much as we
have, through unfavorable seasons,
fallen shprt in our crops of cotton and
corn, by so much is the necessity up
on us to make up the deficiency in the
abundance of other crops. Unflagging
energy is the price of success, and
this is as true of farming as of any
other business. It is the diligent man,
who shrinks not at any necessary toil,
who makes his mark upon his day
and generation.
One of the best signs of-the times
Is the restlessness of the people In
every industrial pursuit, the constant
striving after better things.
A scientific farmer 1® a learned man,
in that particular branch of education.
Time was when no man was called
educated who had not received a di
ploma from a college. Now the man
shilled in his profession, whatever that
may be, 1® classed among the scientific.
It is the duty of every man to alin
high. He, who makes his living by
agriculture, should consider himself
under obligation to do his work In such
a way as will best promote the pros
perity and happiness of his family.
Whether he believes it or not, he has
no right to go on in the old slipshod
way, making a bare living put of the
Boll which holds within its bosom un
told wealth for him who seeks it in
the right way. He is unworthy the,
name of farmer, who sits idly down,
whining about his bad luck, instead of
bestirring himself like a man to force
fortune’s smile.
Of course, it is hard to be disappoint
ed and to have one’s expectations cut
short by unfavorable seasons; but the
remedy is his going right at it agam.
“What if the sky is overcast?
The dark appearance Will not last;
Etxpect a better day!.”
But, it is folly to expect anything
to turn up, unless you make it turn up.
The following suggestions from "The
Southern Planter,” a farm journal
published in Richmond, Ya., are so
practical that I take the liberty of giv-
them to our Georgia farmers:
"It should always be borne In mind
that all the cultivation that can be
given either of these crops (wheat and
winter oats), except it may be a har
rowing of the crop in the spring, Which
though often omitted, ia of great use
in helping the crop, must be given
before the crop is seeded; hence, the
importance of leaving nothing undone
that can conduce to a finely broken
surface soil and a compact subsoil - .
Plow deep; harrow and roll frequently.
Much good ha® been found to result
in the west from subsurface packing.
Thl® 1® practically a reversion to a
practice that has been in use In Eng
land ever since we can recollect. The
roller used for the purpose in England
1® one made with two large wheels,
having the roiling surface made V-
shaped, the point of the V being left
about one inch broad. These two
wheels are set on an axle, so as to run
one on each side of the furrow thrown
by the plow, so a® to pack the seam
between each furrow. A third wheel
Is set on the other end of the axle to
run on the unplowed land. This
roller follows the plow, waiting to
start until three furrows have been
turned. It® use has been found of
great’'benefit, especially -\yheh plowing
sod land for wheat. The close pack
ing of the seams of the furrow pre
vents seed from getting down under
the furrow, where it rarely germinates
or grows, and thus leads to a thin
growth of the crop. These subsurface
packing rollers can be had from West
ern Implement dealers, fTut we have
not seen them advertised in the east.
We have used the English Torn of
roile.r and can speak favorably of It.
In Its absence, the corrugated iron
roller advertised in our columns by
a Charlottesville firm, which is prac
tically the same as the roller known
In England as a Cambridge roller, can
be usefully substituted.”
The same writer suggests that after
the soil has been paefced weJl, the sur
face should be finely harrowed.
To get rid of the ravages of the
Hessian fly he suggests that in sec
tions specially annoyed by this pest,
wheat should not be sown until after
the flies have been trapped on a
strip of wheat seeded early and then
plowed down, wius octroying the eggs
and pupa.
About Cotton.
As to cotton, see that it ls picked as
fast as it opens, so that it may not, by
remaining on the plants, be stained and
wasted by storms. I would suggest
that farmers, who are able to hold
their cotton, should not be in too big
a hurry to get their crop to market
and thus cause prices to drop below
the point of good profit.
Shelter for Stook.
In some portion® of Georgia It Is
necessary to provide shelter for stock
during the winter, and, in fact, over
a large part of the state stock will
thrive better, if thus cared for during
our cold spells. Now is a good time
to have all barns, sheds and pens thor
oughly cleaned, repaired and white
washed, so as to be in the best possi
ble condition for housing your stock
comfortably.
Farm Implements.
The careful farmer saves himself
great loss by looking after his farm
implements. This is a good time to
see that all those not at this time in
use shall be thoroughly cleaned and
placed under cover.

Howto Prepare Emulsion.
Preparation—An emulsion of either
crude petroleum or kerosene may be
made from the following formula;
Two pounds of potash Whale oil
soap, four gallons of water, eight gal
lons of oil.
Weigh the soap carefully and place
with the water in a vessel over the
fire, using a slight excess of water to
make up for evaporation. Fit a pump
with a short piece of hose, to which
is attached a nozzle for throwing a
straight stream J three-sixteenths or
one quarter of an inch in diameter.
Pour the oil into the barrel or tub in
which the pump is sqt, and when the
whale-oil soap ls dissolved and the so
lution begins to boil, add It to the ofl
and pump the whole vigorously back
Into Itself for a period of at lest ten
mimiles. The stream from the noz
zle should be directed straight down
ward into the mixture so as to stir it
to the very bottom. After a few mln :
utes the oil and soap solution will be
seen to combine, forming a thick,
creamy emulsion, which, when per
fectly made, will remain without
change for weeks.
Materials: Pump Required—'Either
erode oil or kerosene will give good
results In making emulsion. The soap
should preferably be some soft whale
oil soap, such as Good’s No. 3. If a
hard soap is used the emulsion will be
curdy, and only with difficulty mix
with water. Country lye soap, answers
admirably, but must be used In some
what larger quantity than called for
in the formula given above.
The ordinary Bordeaux spray pump
answers very well for mixing the emul
sion, but almost any pump will do that
can be fitted with the requisite section
of hose and nozzle. A "Bordeaux” or
"Seneca” nozzle gives a very satisfac
tory sized stream for this work, though
rather small.
The water used must be soft, for if
hard, no stable emulsion can be pre
pared', and it sometimes happens that
foreign substances chanicing to be pres
ent, will prevent the emulsification. It
a lot of soap solution and oil, for any
reason, fails to emulsify properly, the
best thing to do is to throw the whole
away, carefully clean up the pump
wash out all. the vessels used and be
gin over.
