Ie Farmers’ Index. tiers intended for the Editor of this De* nt should beakdressed, "Fit.iui’ Indkx, '24. Allanta, Oa ” 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. sXfxi BitterSl VEGETABLEWkjJF A PLKFECT -PKING AND SUMMER MEDICINE.
