IMPORTANT QUESTIONS DISCUSSED
Cotton Not the Only Crop That Will Suffer
as a Result of the Long Drouth—The
Sowing of Small Grains, Grasses, Etc-,
Unavoidably Delayed—The Advantages
* of Fall Plowing.
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 1,189 G.
FALL CROPS.
The consequences of the long drouth
are not confined to the cotton crop. The
land has been in such parched condition,
that no preparation for the usual fall
crops could be made. The small grains,
grasses, clovers, which should have been
prepared for in August and early Sep
tember, and sown in the latter month,
have been unavoidably delayed, and
unless the seasons are unusually favor
able from the present date the farmer
will be disappointed in his seeding of
these fall crops. We should not, how
ever, be discouraged, but take advant
age of every available opportunity, and
put in as large areas of these necessary
crops, as circumstances will, admit.
Don’t make the mistake, because time
is pressing, of too hurried preparation
and seeding. An acre well prepared
and fertilized, will be worth several
times as much as a far larger area s .wn
in the old tithe, careless method. '
FALL PLOWING.
The cotton fields being cleared so much
earlier than usual, will give farmers
the opportunity, so rare in cotton lands,
of testing the value of fall plowing.
Last fall we turned over with 4 2-horse
plow several acres of stiff land on which
there was a heavy growth of vegetable
matter, leaving the furrows flush, that
they might get the full effects of the air,
the frosts and the rains. Could those
who doubt the advantages of fall plow
ing, have followed each successive step
in the management of the crops grown
on these acres, they would no longer
urge objections to the plan. From the
outset, when the spring preparations
began, this land, was easier to manure.
During the time of preparation when
other fields became too hard toplow,
these were still managable, and all dur
ing the cultivation of the crop, it has
been much easier to keep the mulch of
finely pulverized soil on these, than on
less favored spots. Today, although
these crops have suffered in common
with every other green thing, from the
effects of the protracted dry spell, the
yield is superior and the plants in better
condition than elsewhere. On all heavy
lands and lands underlaid with a stiff
clay subsoil, fall plowing is above value.
The greatest need in our section for the
successful production of crops, is a suf
ficient supply of moisture during the
long hot months, when the usual sum
mer drouth prevails. And there is no
more certain method of supplying thia
moisture on demand, than by storing it
up in the subsoil. If fall plowing is
properly done, the subsoil being loosened
so as to receive and absorb the winter
rains, we form a reservoir underneath
the immediate surface. When the hot,
dry weather of summer begins, the
moisture gradually ascends—and, when
it comes in reach of the thirsty roots, it
is immediately absorbed by them, and
goes to nourish the drooping plants.
Let a farmer mpke the experiment with
a small patch of land, ana mark the dif
ference between the plowed and the un
plowed plats, even in the winter months.
Where the land is left hard, when the
winter rains fall, the water, instead of
sinking into the land, penetrates only
the surface and when it runs off, which
it will inevitably do, it often carries
with it much of the surface soil, in many
cases fertilized at heavy expense. Let
him mark that on the deeply plowed
plat, we have the double advantage of
retaining both the water and the pre
cious elements of fertility. Another ad
vantage of fall plowing is that a man
and a mule will accomplish more satis
factory and more thorough work in the
pleasant fall weather, than when the
busy days of spring come. There is
time to do the work carefully and com
pletely, no crops are pressing for atten
tion, and each furrow can be most ef
fectively run. Another fact which
makes fall plowing most important is
that every acre of such land contains
in its subsoil an amount of phosphoric
acid and potash, which is more than
sufficient to supply the needs of any
crops that may be grown on them for an
indefinite number of years—but in their
present condition these elements are not
available. It has been proven over and
over again that when these unavailable
elements are brought to the surface and
exposed to the action of the air, the
frosts and the rains, they are converted
into available plant food. It seems folly
for a farmer to run up such heavy bills
with the fertilizer merchants, when by
putting his plow in deep and bringing
to the surface a small portion of these
heretofore unappropriated e'.ements, he
can each year supply his crops . with
sonic portion of the piapt food

os w&n noia* aie" 1 moisture ror runner
use. The prairie lands of Mississippi
were at one time thought to be almost
inexhaustable, but there are acres and
acres in that state from which the rich
top soil has been ruthlessly skimmed—
and now that the hard subsoil has been
reached, the farmers, instead of breaking
this and releasing the stores of plant
food confiueo there, are turning to com
mercial fertilizers to supplement the
thin layer of top soil which remains.
And this is but a repetition of the agri
cultural history of our older southern
states. Georgia farmers are just begin
ning a thorough investigation of this im
portant question, and each year we see
new converts added to the list of those
who make fall plowing a study and a
success. As before mentioned, we have
an unusually favorable opportunity this
year for testing this question. Cotton
picking will doubtless be over early in
this month and labor will be abundant
and cheap. The fields, which are us
ually occupied until the last month of
the year, now offer no hindrance to ex
perimentation on this line. Let us give
a few of these hardrun acres a chance
to recuperate their wasted stores. We
would rejoic to see every farmer in the
state try it, if only a half acre on this
plan, and report results at this office.
Put the plow in deep and bring a little
of the subsoil to the surface. If there
is a coating of vegetable matter, don’t
turn it entirely under; leave the furrows
at an angle of about 45 degrees. Don’t
bring up a large quantity of the sub
soil and leave it flat on the surface,
there to harden and bake. The plan is
to ge gradually deeper and deeper each
year—bring up a small quantity of the
subsoil tv the surface, leaving it there
for the forces of nature to complete the
work of disintegration and decomposi
tion. On sandy lands this plan is not
admissable; they require different treat
ment. It is only on heavy clay lands, or
those having stiff clay subsoils, that the
full benefits of fall plowing may be
realized. Don’t leave the sweet and Irish
POTATOES
in the fields until the tops are killed by
frost. In a measpre the keeping qual
ities of the potatoes are injured, and
moreover, after the first frost, we are
apt to have rains, which prevent the
saving of the potatoes in a perfectly dry
state, an absolute necessity, if we would
preserve them successfully through the
winter months. , It is also important
that they be kept dry. If the straw,
earth, or other'covering becomes damp,
it shoul 1 be removed and dry material
substituted.
FEEDING FOR MANURE AND FOR BEEF.
In the Inquiries for this month is one
of great importance and interest, as to
the merits and costs of different foods
in producing manure, fat and flesh.
The study of these questions indicates
an advance in our system of agricul
ture, and those who inquire into and
investigate this subject will discover
that our methods have been ill advised
and wasteful, and that fpr a given
amount of food judicieusly used, we
can produce a much more profitable re
turn in both meat anil manure than has
heretofore been customary.
THE COTTON TIE TRUST
is also inquired into by a farmer who
wishes to know the history and cause
of the re cent fight made against the
“combine,” which has forced up the
price of ties beyond all reasonable limits.
We have replied at length in order to
show the farmers how they have been
fleeced, and to put them on guard
against a repetition of the same tactics
another year. The “trust” has made
several hundred thousand dollars out of
the farmers, which prompt and united
effort could have prevented.

CONDITION OF CROPS.
Continued Drouth Injures Cotton —The
Corn Crop Likely to Bo Short.
COTTON.
Condition worse than at last report on
account of drouth through September.
With reasonably fair weather the crop
will be entirely gathered by the middle
of October. A full estimate of the
yield would be 60 per cent of an aver
age crop for this state, and from seven
to seven and a half millions for the en
tire crop. The price should be, and I
think will be, higher.
CORN.
This crop is injured more than was
supposed a month ago, and in some por
tions of the state the supply will be
short. I therefore urge upon those
farmers who know they will be short of
stock feed, to save everything possible
in the way of forage, viz: pea vines,
ground pea vines and hay of any kind.
And also to plant rye patches and early
oats, that by these means they may sup
plement their corn crops and be saved
from buying corn and fodder. In most
of the counties in this state there is a
sufficient supply of corn made.
FALL CROPS.
*Su"h as potatoes, sugar cane, peas,
sorghum> etc., have been injured seri
ously, partic ..larly the three first. Sor
ghum has turned out fairly well; while
the grinding showed a lack of juice, the
long drouth had eliminated nearly all
the water from the sap and very little
boiling was required to convert it into
syrup. Sweet potatoes, peas and cane
will be shorter than for many years
past; indeed in many ptaces these crops
might be called a total failure.
WHEAT AND OATS.
A large acreage should be planted in
these grains this fall. The early gath
ering of the cotton crop will enable
those so disposed to prepare thoroughly
and plant With care, a larger crop than
usual, of these two important cereals,
one or both of which should be planted
on every farm in the state.
STOCK.
The condition of stock continues good,
and doubtless there will be more hogs
killed this winter than for many years
past. This is as it should be. Our
farmers should never relax their efforts
to make their farms self supporting;
then, and then only, will they be truly
independent.
The department of agriculture esti
mates that the cost of sowing an acre
of wheat in Alabama is 90 cents, and
fiom this amount the figure diminishes
in other states to 24 cents in lowa.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When the tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing' and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will, be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the inucoussurfaces.

A DOUBLE CASE.
Remarkable Cure of a Boston Alan
who was Afflicted with Salt=
Rheum and Rheumatism.
BOTH PROMPTLY CURED BY DR. WILLIAMS’
PINK PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE.
From the Herald, Boston, Mass.
Those-who have had the misfortune to be
afflicted with salt-rheum, more especially
when it tons come in early childhood, can
appreciate what it is to “ doctor ” for this al
most incurable trouble. They almost all tes
tify that they have “doctored” for years,
and often with spine of the leading physi
cians, spending large sums of money without
obtaining relief. When this is complicated
with an attack of rheumatism, especially in
the case of a man whose advocation is one
that exposes him to it, the serious nature of
his physical ills may be imagined, and also
the potent eflicacy of such a remedy as Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, which
has proved able to conquer such a concensus
of bodily problems, and to put the man into
a condition of vigor as a substitute for one
of a most disheartening outlook.
In view of the circumstances it is not sur
prising that many in Boston, especially those
of the railroad men, who have been familiar
both with the individual aud the attendant
circa instances, should make so much com
ment on the cure wrought in the case of Mr.
James Freeman, for a number of years past
employed as a brakeman on the Old Colony
Division of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad. This gentleman had
been afflicted with salt-rheum from infancy
and his blood had a decided tendency to
humors, in addition to which the exposed
character of his occupation promoted an ag
gravated attack of muscular rheumatism
which threatened t to destroy his usefulness
and deprive him of this means of livelihood.
But learning of the remarkable testimony
which had been given to the eflicacy of Dr.
Williams’ Pink riiis for Pale People when
ever tried for these and kindred ililllculties,
particularly such as arise from aii impover
ished or disordered condition <<f the blood, he
was induced to try them, and the result has
been so gratifying that ho has became a
pioneer in recommending I hem tn his fellow
workmen, who through his wvnis and the
manifest results of his example h"vc shown
a constantly increasing use of tie- pills.
In view of the degree of attenti >n which
tli«‘ case attracted, particularly in Us eflbetof
promoting the use of the pills among men
who are not in the habit of taking medicine,
the ci re inn stances were deemed worthy of
personal investigation, ami accordingly a re
porter made a call at the eery home of Mr.
Freeman, at233Shawinont Avenue, Boston,
Mass., where hi; and his wife were found to
be thoroughly free and unreserved instating
the facts, and most cordial in appreciation of
the Pink Pills.
“Yes, it is true.,” he said in response tn
enquiry, “ 1 have the greatest satisfaction in
giving my won! as to what Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills have done for me. I have no per
sonal interest, in speaking about the matter
except that I feel grateful for the cure they
have caused, and I think it is only right that
I should try and let others have the same
opportunity for benefit as myself.” In re
gard to the origin of his use of the Pink Pills
he remarked:
“I was first led to try them on account nf
a certificate from a Montreal man which was
published in the papers, and I thought the
same thing that had done go much for him
would help me.
*1 needed to take the Pink Pills for the
condition of the blood and for rheumatism.
The fart is that my blond has been of a very
humory nature and I have been troubled
with salt-rheum from infancy. My head
was covered with it and a good deal of my

“ i’hen came iny rheumatic trouble dur
ing three months <»f Lot winter. I think it
came from exposure in the railroad yard dur
ing bad weather. It was muscular rheuma

arm so lfiat I could hardly lift it that high.”
Here Mr. Freeman raised his ouistretched
right arm slowly to a position below the
middle of his breast ami j/ave a graphic idea
of the difficulty and distress whicn accom
panied that effort before taking tin; Pink
Pills.
“I began to receive lamefit from the first
time that 1 took the pills, and I have never
I known them to fail of doing good. The
| trouble with a good many people is that they
think they do everything by taking the first
i small quantity of any remedy. I am not
one of those who are satisfied with that kind
i of sampling, and when I became satisfied
that they were the right thing for me 1 re
| solved to use them with fullest effect. 1 soon
| secufrcd about 25 boxes. I bought them
[mostly from Janes’ Apothecary Store on
' Washington Street. One of the first good
cfieids I found was an increase of appetite
and the benefit of a general tonic. My blood
became purer and better, ami the effects of
the muscular rheumatism rapidly disappear
ed. As I took no other medicine the whole
effect must have come from Dr. Williams’
Pink Pilis. I was so gratified with their
effect that 1 must have bought altogether
about eighty box»‘s.
“The result was that I was enabled to at
tend to my work as a brakeman on the cars,
which you know requires a pretty free
' strength in the arms, and 1 found my gener-
I al health and spirits tomnl up.
“ In the early periods of takinglhe pills T
■ took one ns a dose, ami latterly 1 increased to
two ami then thrce ; the tuning cfi’eiq being
■ all the stronger without any disagreeable

People Don’t Buy Pianos
For looks alone. If they did, any one of
the pretty piano cases, offered for sale,
with the tin-pan attachment inside, would
do very well and not cost much.
A tew months’ use serves to show the
difference between a good and bad piano
—between a piano carefully made of ex
cellent material and a piano made of
cheap stuff, slapped together anyhow.
The Conover is as good a jiiano as was
ever made. You may see it any time you
will come in. Seeing’s free.”
