FARMERS JN A BaD FIX.”
eply to the question, “How are the
rs getting on”—which is so often
i persons visiting the city from the
ry, or to those who hiive returned
more or let-8 extended trips—the
r is often given in the above words.
i further queried, “how,” I lie reply
srally: “Well, they are short of
.nd fodder, and are biningWee
>rn and hay at high prices, have
d a big crop of cotton, and the in
>ns are that cotton will be low,”
Hany are now ready to admit that
I'oomb’s assertion echoed by Mr.
ins-that “every sun that iias
n the 8 >mh since the war, finds
I m farmer s poorer”—is true. We dissent
oni die assertion and would offer as a
ibtlitute that the farmers of the South
are backshitlden from thepoai'ion they
ad attained in 1879 8 ', and have com
teheed to retrograde instead of contrn
ing in rhe road to independence that
My iiudemered and followed for -everar
Mrs previous. The comparatively goon
rites for cotton in 1879 80 and 1880 81
avje brought on a telapse of the cotton
iver (or mania—for it edicts on the
irmer were more like mania than fever)
nd farmers have suffered themselves to
egedu ed from the path of virtuous in
epen ience by the siren voice of the cot
mt;ue-n. The situation is indeed d
lorabie and alarming. Tmre is a larger
elicit of corn and other provisi >ns than
laftoccun-d in several years, and these
nI uries are commanding a higher
Iran at any time within the same
. Corn is now (June 3) worth 85
n Atlanta, and bacon 10 cents
sale with an upward tendency,
are parries here who offer to bet
>rti will b- oue dollar per bushel
r 10th of June. With a proapec
-n or eight cents for cotton nexr
nd a demand of $1 25 to $1.50 for
on a credit—what is io become of
WBe farmers who are devoting all their
>} aergies to the production of cotton ?
Jnst here we would remark that we
ave heard and read numberless argu
ifints on the folly of raising cotton and
dying corn and bacon and everything
Ise, but we can hardly call to mind
single defence of the policy of raising
>ttori to buy corn. It would t-eem
lat a policy so generally practised as
.St of planting all creation and the 1- ng
rws >n cotton, and the nooks and cor
n's and short rows in corn, would find
>le and eloquent advocates.
Farmers are generally liberal and gen-
S ous enough to tell their neighbors
hen they have discovered a “good
dng,’’ and are ready enough to boast of
teir success in whatever way it may
»ve been attained. But where is the
either in words or in results
•which is to induce every farmer to rely
Q “all cotton and a little corn” as the
He policy? It would seem that where
> many farmers run this schedule that
ley, or at least some of them, would be
filling and ready to “give a reason for
le faith that is in them,” and encourage
ud persuade al 1 |o embark on the same
tosperous lit « But, while we have
line upon lid and precept on precept”
i favor of n ting home supplies, we
ip-ely bear of man who has the temer
i y to" raise his bice or wield his pen in
..dvocacy of the system-so generally pre
" , valent in the South—of relying on the
MVest for bread and meat that is to bus
tain our very existence, while we make
-.cotton for the world. Why is this? Are
there none to be found among these
speculative planters, who are bold and
® self confident enough to justify their
|| policy by appeals to reason and to fig
■ tires ; and generous enough to exhort
M the few remaining “old fogies” who have
no better sense than to devote their time
and energies to raising hogs and sheep,
corn and wheat, —bread for the eater
, J and seed for the sower? Our columns
are open to both sides of the question,
H our object being to ascertain and incul
ft cate the truth. Will any one respond
Hto this challenge? We venture the as-
H sertion that among the fifty thousand
I’ farmers (more or less) of Georgia who
I are practicing the delusive policy, not a
I man will be found who will advocate
H the wisdom and sound business policy
| of relying on bought corn, bacon and
| hay. There may be instances where
I farmers have succeeded in keeping clear
I of debt and even making money by the
I plan, but they are only rare exceptions
I and prove nothing but the truth of the
■ general rule.
Q UARTERLYREPORI OFDEPART
MENI OF AGRICULTURE.
The Commissioner of Agriculture has
| modified the system of monthly crop Re
' ports, and will hereafter issue them quar
| terly instead of monthly.
The report for the quarter ending April
| 30th has been published, and from it we
gather the following informations in re-
I gard to the crops in Georgia.
Cobh.—The area planted in corn in
the whole State, compared to that of 1880,
is 102. In the different sections of the
State it is as follows: In North Gecrgia,
100, Middle Georgia, 100, Southwest Geor
gia, 102, East Georgia, 105, and in South
east Georgia 103. Owing to the peculiar
season, the preparation of the soil was
much less thorough than in 1880, espe
cially in North and Middle Georgia.
For the same reason the crop was
planted 12 days later than in 1880. The
stand compared with a “good stand” is
only 83. The best stand ie reported in
South West Georgia, where it is 91, and
the poorest in East Georgia, where it is
reported at 69. The principal cause of
the reduction in the stand ha? been the
heavy baking rains of the early spring,
while in some sections complaint is made
of injury by birds and worms.
Oats. —From comparative insignific
ance, this has become one of the most
important- crops of the State and is now
largely relied upon for feeding work
stock.
The excessive rains of last October and
November prevented the usual area from
being sown in the fall, but the area nas
been supplemented by spring sewings,
so that the acreage for the State is re
ported at 91. Os the entire area 44 per
cent, was sown in the fall. Os this 25 per
cent, was winter killed. Eighty-two per
cent, of the crop has been sown with
the rust proof varieties which alone are
reliable except in extremly favorable
peasons.
The condition of fall sown compared
to an average is reported at 89, condition
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1881.
of epr ng sown 94 and the condition of
the whole crop 89. Much of the oat crop
was s wn quite late in the spring and
hence it is difficult, to make a proper es
timate of its prospect.
Wheat.—The wheat crop of the State
is quite promising, but the acreage coin
pared lo that of last year, which was
itself small, is repotted al 60 ; s > that a
full crop caunoi be lenliied e' en with I e
most favorable sea-one. Much of tue
Ciop was sown very late, and will o f
course be more liable to rust; but no
casualilies have affected the crop, while
at the same dale last year it wasr-porttd
injured by iusi 31 percent., and by in
sects 14 per cent. The condition and
prospects of the crop, compared to an
averugt*, is reported 103, this year, and
ihe seasons since the Ist of May have
been peculiaily favorable for wheat.
Cotton. I'he cotton crop of the State
ha? been planted 11 days liner than last
year, according to the reports of the coi
i espondenla of this D, part ment,and Ihree
per cent, more planted than lastyeai.
As an off.iet, however, to the live plant
ing, drti<n per cent, more fertilizers have
beeu applud to the cotton crop of the
B>aie than w. s applied to lhe same last
.rear. As tie transition from win er to
summer has been unusually sudden,
skipping over sp-mg as it were, and the
use ol feriilizeis having the efiect of has
tening the maturity ol the crop, it will
probaoly be equdly as early as that of
lastyeai. Ol the whole area planted io
coiton, 82 percent, is manured either
with commeicial fertilizers, home man
ure, or comp >st, of which 21 per cent, is
manured with home manure or Compost
—only one-fourth was home manure and
three fourths wiih purchased manures
This ratio should be revtrsed if the pro
per attention weie given to the saving of
home manures.
A gentleman in Southwest Georgia,
who plants about 3,090 acres in cotton,
finds it practicable and profitable to
manure his whole crop with compost ol
lot manure and cot on seed. Why may
notoheis do thes><me? The planters
and farmers of Georgia have spent, this
year, about $6,000,000 for fertilizers, ai
least oue half of which might have been
kept at home by judicious management.
Modoui t the judicious useof commercial
fertilizers to supplement the home man
ure is profitable, but their extravagant
and indiscriminate use, as at present
practiced, is ill-idvised and must prove
disastrous to tue cotton planter.
Prices of Corn Bacon, etc —Corn
sells at the average price of 89 cents per
bushel cash, and $1.12 “on time.” This
is simply ruinous policy—no legitimate
business can pay such rates of interest
and prosper. Farmers cannot afford to
buy corn at 89 cents cash per busheland
yet they are paying “on time” 54 per
cent, per annum on the cash price. Of
fer to lend a man money at 54 per cent,
per annum, or 4 J per cent, per month, and
he would feel that his inteligence was
insulted, and yet he buys corn, agrees to
pay 54 per cent, per annum on the cash
price, and mortgages his property to ee
cme the principal and interest.
Similar rates are paid on ..aeon and
hay which could and should be produc
ed on the farm.
The cities were formerly fed by the
country, now the country is fed from the
cities. This is an unnatural, abnormal
condition of things that must be reversed
or bring disaster upon both country and
cities.
Fish.—The introduction of the Ger
man Carp, the wonderful growth they
have made, have exciied an interest in
fish culture never felt before in the State.
Numerous private ponds are being con
structed in the State, in anticipation of
the fall distribution of fry. In some
count e i as many as twenty ponds are in
process of construction. The success of
those distributions in lhe fall of 1879 has
excited the expectations of the most san
guine, and the fact that they have spawn
ed this spring, when only two years old
from the egg, has demonstrated the pecu
liar adaptation of our climate to their
culture. If the usual supply of fry isob
tained from Professor Baird, of the Unit
ed States Commission of Fish and Fish
eries, and that supply is supplemented
by drafts upon the ponds in the State,
all reasonable demands for stocking the
ponds in the State can probably be met
this fall. *
Grain and Stock. —A correspondent
from Gordon County writes: “Many
farmers are seemingly anxious to
change from cotton to grain and etock
raising but they are in debt, and they
must raise another crop of cotton to en
able them to make the desired change.
I am of the opinion derived from mv
small amount of experimental knowl
edge, that owing to the scarcity of labor,
the grain and stock business would pay
the larger profit. There is more interest
manifested in raising colts, horses and
mules, than formerly. Cattle are mostly
scrubs and need improving. Hogs are
generally crossed with Essex or Berk
shire. Peach trees failed to bloom this
spring. About one half of the corn crop
was planted Ist of May.
Many of our farmers are staking every
thing on cotton. Many are buying
meat, flonr, corn, etc. Provisions are
very scarce. It is common to see on the
same wagon, guano, meat and flour go
ing out of town. Stock food is complete
ly exhausted.”
Another from Baker County says;
Our farmers are in worse condition than
at any time since the war. My observa
tion is, all who raise their own supplies
are pr< spering—all who do not, are in
debt, and going from bad to worse. Sol
omon says: “Though you bray a fool in
a mortar, as wheat with a pestle, yet his
foolishness will not depart from him.”
Our people have been brayed in the
mortar of adversity for fifteen years, and
are as big fools as ever.
SMALL NOTES.
Graham Bread.—You have publish
many articles about yeast bread. I do
not remember seeing anything about
graham gem?. lam a man of sedentary
abits; lost my health in the “late un
pleasantness,” and have never been well
since ; so bread is of vital importance to
me. Over two years ago we commenced
making gems, and now no member of
my family will even taste other kinds of
bread.
Manner: A panful of flour is stirred
to a thick batter. The gem pans are
heated hot on the stove, buttered, filled
with the batter and placed in a hot oven
where the gems will cook about as quick
ly as ordinary biscuit. Serve when cold.
Water or milk may be used in making
the batter, though, of course, milk is the
best. Gems made in this manner are
a? much superior, in point of hedtbful
nt-s-’, toyeast bread of the best descrip
tion as t lie yeaai bread is to leathery pan
cakes. Os course, farmers, as a rule, are
not troubled with indigestion, but we
have heard of farmeis being sick, and
certainly believe that the whole world
would be better off, if good, wholesome
bread was the rule and not the excep
tion. Mv health has constantly improv
ed diving ihe past two years, and is bet
ter now than at any time during the
past eighteen years, though I have been
scciis'omed in the past to the best of
yeast bread. Oue thing more: A fraction
of the trouble and care bestowed on ord
inary bread will make a gem tit for a king
to eat. S.
The Corn Crop.—The United States
corn cropaVernges nearlvorabout 1,500,-
000,000 buAiels, or 47,000,000 tons, eu
uiigii to load 5,0J0,000 rail cars, making
30,1)00 trains e,,cti half a mile long; or
enough to fill two continuous lines <if box
cars from Baffin’s Bay to C.>pe Horn, and
require at. 1 ei 60,090 locomotives to draw
them. Ibe importance is obvious of ob
taining Uns vast ci op at. any leduction
in labor and ex,>ei se; and hence the in
trod uc io u i f simple labor-saving mach
inery lor cultivation; of paying fertiliz
ers; of such a system of management as
shall exclude devouring weeds; or of
piauling the in st productive sorts,
would ,-ave millions of dollars in ihe ag
gregate. One item of seasonable work
at the present time is clean tillage, a.
weeds unquestionably ab.-orb millions ol
bushels of grain in ihe United States;
Pass ti e cnlti atereaily, pass it often,
i a=s it as long us a horse can go safely
between the rows- the sulky cultivator
as long as corn will permit, and lhe one
h«rse implement afterwaids.
The Agricultural Di partment.—
List week Gen. Win. G. L Due closed
his term of service as Commissioner of
Agriculture, and is succeeded by Dr.
Geo. B, L ning, who has been President
of the New-England Agricultural Society
for many years, and has been a member of
the Massachusetts Board Agriculture
-ince 1864. He has also served a term
in the United States House of Represent
atives. Dr. Loring enters upon theduties
ol his office with the endorsement of
New-England farmers as to bis fitness
and capacity, and will, in their opinion,
connuct the business to the satisfaction
of the whole country.
Tar on Fruit Trees.— For the bene
fit of those whom it may concern, I give
my experience with pine tar on fruit
trees. Having several valuable young
peartrees scratched by cats, and being
told that tar was a reliable remedy for
all vegetable wounds, I applied a coat
to the affected parts. The result is, I
have more experience and less trees. If
there is another such idiot this side of
the Rocky Mountains, I should like ot
hear from him.
