THE STATE HORTICULTURAL SO
CIETY.
The annual convention met in the
rooms of the State Library, at Atlanta,
August sth., President P. J. Berckmans
in the chair, snd Secretary Kinsey at
his post. The proceedings were not
marked by any event of special interest.
Several interesting essays were read,
and the discussions of the fruit catalogue
were conducted in a familiar way, add
ing the new knowledge and experience
gained during the past year to the com
mon stock. We were present daring
a short talk on the Le Conte pear—the
new variety that has attracted so much
attention during the past year. It
seems to be admitted that the fruit is, as
to quality, “very good,” and the tree is
remarkable for vigor, symmetrical
growth, and exemption from blight.
The readiness with which cuttings of the
Le Conte strike root seems to be confined
to the Southern part of Georgia, where
the variety was first cultivated. It is
a fact that in Thomas and adjacent coun
ties, twigs of ten or twelve inches in
length inserted in the ground, grow
with almost the same certainty as willow
cuttings; but in Middle and North Geor
gia this method of propagating trees
has signally failed in the experience of
Such experts as President Berckmans,
W. P. Robinson, Dr. Sam Hape and
ethers.
The annual display of fruits, which
was spread in the large hall of the De
partment of Agriculture, was very fine
considering the season. It consisted
chiefly of grapes, pears, peaches and ap
ples. The display of peaches by Mr.
Sam H. Rumph, of Marshallville, Ga.,
was the best of its kind. A new variety,
Elberta, a seedling from the Chinese
cling and originabed by Mr. Rumph, at-,
traded universal attention. It is totally
unlike its parent in respect of color, tex
ture and flavor, being large in size, of a
rich yellow color, free-s‘one, and of very
superior flavor. It is considered quite
an acquisition to the list of first class
peaches. Just here we are reminded
that many farmers who bring peaches to
the Atlanta market, make ridiculous
claims for excellence in quality of their
peaches. Hundreds of bushels of dry,
mealy free-stones, or hard vinegary
cling-stones, of small size, are daily of
fered, at fifteen or twenty cents per peck)
as the “best peach in the country.” One
would suppose that these vendors had
never seen a really good specimen of
peach. From within a radius of fifty
miles or even more, Atlanta draws her
supply of country peaches, and we ven
ture to say what not one bushel in ten
that comes from this source, can justly
claim to be of even medium quality. It
is just the state of things that the Horti
cultural Society desires to remedy—to
elevate the standard of excellence and
taste, and impiove the quality of our
fruit.
The Society re-elected the old officers
and selected Macon, Ga., as the place
for the next annual meeting.
FISH FARMING.
Now that fish culture is assumingprac
tical shape in this oountry, anything in
that line is of interest. A writer from
France says: Many years ag > the French
government aided the first efforts made
in artificial fish culture. So thoroughly
did the experiments succeed, that it has
become a most important industry in
the country, and wherever natural lakes,
creeks or rivers were to be found, they
were stocked with the finny tribe. On
some of the great estates, belonging to
the nobility, whereby sub dividing their
property or attempting to live in a style
beyond their incomes, their precuniary
condition has been greatly helped by
converting the artificial lakes and ponds
in their pleasure grounds into fish breed
ing establishments; and by their pro
ducts their prosperity has been redeemed.
A great many less wealthy persons own
ing lands too poor for Successful farm
ing, and where water was abundant,
have dug pond- and lakes upon their
premises and have embarked in this
most lucrative farming.
Farmers should bear in mind the high
prices, many of them have been com
pelled to pay for hay the past season. In
many instances hay has cost as much
per poo nd as corn, and hard to get at
that. The showers that have fallen in
many places, have started the crab and
crow foot grasses into luxuriant growth,
and every effnt should be made to con
vert as much as possible into hay. No
farmer ever had more good hay or fod
der than he could profitably use or dis
pose of. It is a burning shame that the
farmers of Georgia will devote their best
energies to destroying grass during the
growing season, and then pay their
hard-earned money for western hay (so
called) at ruinous prices.
GEORGIA STATE AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY.
SUMMER MEETING, ROME, GEORGIA, 1881.
Rome, Ga., Aug., 9th, 1881.
The August meeting of the Agricultur
al Society, of Georgia, began to-day in
this city, at 10:30 am. There is a very
full attendance of the members, and all
quarters of the State are represented.
Even South Carolina has a delegation
here, composed of the best men in that
State. They received a royal reception
at the hands of everybody. In the dele
gation is an Ex Chancellar, a State Sen
ator. the President of the South Carolina
Agricultural and Mechanical Society;
the master of the South Carolina State
Grange—rice and sea-island cotton plan
ters and many others, and every one of
them, supporting or living under the
operation of the stock, or “no fence” law
in that State. Col. Lipscomb the Mas
ter of the State Grange, was very happy
in his reply to the speech of welcome.
After the ceremonies of receptions and
welcome from the city and farmers club
of Rome and Floyd county, the Presi
dent, Hon. Thou. Hardeman, Jr. read
hisad iress. He gave a resume of the
five years, during which he has been in
office. He shows considerable prosperity
and financial success in his management,
and the management of the executive
committee. At present the Society is
out of debt, and owns nearly SB,OOO.
General Brown read an essay on experi
ments at his farm near Athens, Ga. Dr.
J. P. Stephens, of Macon, gave a most
learned and well considered essay on
“The recuperation of exhausted soils. ’
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1881.
Major W. H. Beede, of Marshallville,
read an article on ‘‘the local labor prob
lem,” which caused great diversity of
thought to be expressed. His views did
not meet with the judgement of many
and so quite a discussion was had over
it. The meeting at night for experi
mental conversation was devoted to it -
teresting accounts of production on small
farms, and paste I wi h the usual good re
sults. These proceedings have consumed
the first day.
SECOND DAY, AUGUST 10th.
This morning at an early hour, the
Convention, with a large audience, met
iu the splendid Nevin’s opera house.
Mr. Nevins, in the spirit of true hospi
tality, gave the use of his building to the
Convention. The programme was re
sumed and Prof. White, of Athens, spoke
for half an hour, very much to the edifi
cation and entertainment of the Society,
on “Scientific experimentation in agri
culture.” The delegation which bad
gone to S >uth Carolina, made a repot t
of their impressions and observations
over there, especially on the fence ques
tion. From their report it is clear that
very soon the State of South,Carolina will
be without fences, except to enclose pas
tures and necessary lots for stock and
cattle, near the farmers houses. In
South Carolina the question has been
agitated for five years or more, and the
people being informed and prepared for
a wise settlement of the question, have,
almost unanimously agreed in thirteen
counties of the State, to br. ak up the
fences. The plan is successful, ai l all
are satisfied with it. Several gentlemen
did not appear, whose learned addresses
were expected, in consequence of which
the business was very much expedited.
Tn the afternoon of to day, the elec
tion of certain officers was had. In that
for President quite a stir took place, but,
after the tempest had passed,it was found
that Col.Hardeman was re-elected. Then
came on the usual “miscellaneous busi
ness, resolutions, etc.,” which are hurri
ed up, that the cars may be reached in
time.
The proceedings of to night consisted
for the most part in addresses.
The city of Savannah will be visited,
when the Society has its meeting in Feb
uary, 1882, unless,’he measlesand mumps
should deter then from going, as was done
last Spring at another place.
IN CONCLUSION.
The meeting of the members from dif
ferent sections of the country, the inter
change of opinions, and disagreements
on many subject, these constitute some
of the agencies which do good. This ses
sion was a good one. The delegates
pleased the people of Rome and iu turn
they pleased the Convention. The en
tertainment was superb and inexhausti
ble. But, the hot weather 1 How hot
it was! Ninety-eight degrees the mer
cury stood, Thursday the 11th.
THE STOCK LAW.
The most important matter before the
Convention was the stock law. It was
pretty fairly presented. The effect of
the discussion will be seen in results at
home, in the counties of the members,
where the fences begin to disappear in
the older and middle counties of the
State, the fences are already gone, in al
most every section, but the law will le
galize their destruction. . The fences,
bad fences, rotten fences,for the last eight
or ten years have caused the loss of large
numbers of hogs, cattle, and perhaps
mules and horses. The farmers in some
sections have been obliged to kill them,
when in their fields, to save the ungath
ered crops. And the losses in the fall,
by the depredations of cattle especially,
are great.
On Thursday, August 11th, most of
the delegates took an early train and
spent the day in Atlanta. A few remain
ed to keep company with the delegates
from South Carolina, who fell into the
hands of a committee on hospitality and
a right royal time was had. The colleges,
waterworks, fine buildings, beautiful
rivers, and Col. Sproules magnificent
spring wese duly examined and all pro
nounced to be very fine and satisfactory
by the guests.
