DirMnin or Aonictn,T,:nE,
Atlanta, Aug. I, 1808.
The widely distributed rains, follow
ing the long oontinned drouth, have
enneed some (bedding of the cotton,
and, la some liutaaoea, came too late to
rescue the ootW crop, bat, ns s rale,
wops throughout the state are in good
condition and further oultlrution after
this date Is not only nunesessary, but
might proru actually hurtful. The
"laying by" ot these standard crops
should not mean a cessation of farm
aetirtly, nor an entire abandonment of
Ihu plans so calfelnlly formulated in the
beginning of the year, rostnnately for
Georgia the strictly "cotton, farm," os-
sept tat ran Instances, la a thing of the
past.
Ia nearly all sections of the stats
there is hay la- be, eared, orchards end
Tiaeyarde So be looked after, cattle and
hogs to reoelTe the proper care, and
lbatly, fall crtjpe to be prepared for.
Another important branch of hie work,
to which the average farmer has been
so far woefully indifferent, is tho de
struction of the Tar ions insect enemies,
which are beginning to infest onr Soldi
ufid depredate on onr cropa. To keep
these in check II ’has become neoessary
that each indiridual farmer wage
un Incessant t Warfare • on thorn. At
this season orach may be done to des
troy their breeding places. In the
stubble fields, in.the fence corners and
ia many byplaces they will be fennd
entrenched, preparing for their winter
accommodation in- order to be ready in
the spring to start out on their destruc-
tire work with thejlrsi wnrm days. If
neglected now Aht.fesnlt will be an as
tonishing increase in numbers nud in
the amount of iujifry to various crops.
In Tennessee in 1894 the chinch bug
Was observed ia different sectious of
the state, but not in numbers sufficient
to cause any alarm and no precautions
were taken to prevent their reappear-
•nop- In 1898 a'territory of nearly 600 i
square miles Wat literally covered by
them depredators, and the farmers in
this motion not only sustained great loss
by the actual injhty to their crops, but
were compelled Up at considerable ex
pense destroy the hordes of bugs whloh
Infested every phrt of their Helds. We
•red not therefore lay the flattering
unction to our souls that the season of
"laying by” is u Rasonof entire "rest."
While there may be a comparative let
up in the driving work necessary to the
proper management of yoar standard
crops there are still various farm oiter-
utions just us Important which should
not be "laid by." Indeed, after nearly
•0 years' experience on tho farm, we
have come to the conclusion tlmt, for
the up-to-date farmer, "layingbv tirno”
oomes only when lifo itself cease's.
| FALL CROPS.
Because we have failed in one or oven
two trials with crimson clover we should
not abandon the attempt to grow it. It
is certainly a most valnablo adjunct to
onr forage supply, Imsides performing
lor onr lands during tho winlor tho
work which the pen crop accomplishes
In the summer, namoly, storing up both
humus and nitrogenfor future crops.
The general mistake in planting fall
oats and rye, two of our most impor
tant crops, is that they are put in too
late and the land is not made rich
enough. It the need are pnt in early
and the crop forced forward by high
manuring, the result is usually most
satisfactory. In very cold weather it is
slways the rich sitots which escape,
sometimes when the poor thin spots
are entirely killed ont. The pres
ent year the spring oats were an entire
failure, while the full crop wuh uuunu-
ally fine. Angnst is uone too early to
begin the preparations for all crops to
*» sown in the fall. After the land is
thoroughly brokou it should bo har
rowed and reharrowed until smooth
and line. Time was when the prepara
tion and cultivation of our lands, though
u rudest and most imperfect
character, produced phenomenal crops,
because the virgin soil abounded in the
elements of plant food. But today,
thoughtfnl farmers realize (he fact that,
oven in our incomparable climate,
where we can produce two or throe
crops on the same land each year, the
time has passed when muscle can count
against braiu. All over the stnte we
begin to see the evidences of this.
BRAIN WORK.
Intelligent energy is taking the place
of mere plodding. The farmers who
havo a woll defined, thoroughly stndiod
plan, which they follow with unfailing
pertinacity, are the men w*ho nro forg
ing to tho front in successful agricult
ure. Science, by its discovery nt com
plete plant foods, and bv its equally im
portant tindings as to the food require
ments of different crops, points out the
means, bnt it remains for the farmer to
take hold of these means and by ju
dicious rotation of crops, thorough
preparation of the laud and proper
cultivation, to promote the chemical
changes ueeessnry to the most protitablo
development of his business. Some of
the results of such <-aroful mothods nru
seen in the yields of wheat and oats
reported to this department tiic present
year, larger thnn ever before, in some
oases almost phenomenal.
the standard bale.
Equally Important with the careful
saving and baling of opr cotton is the
necessity of meeting the complaints
made by the various transportation com
panies and mills against the different
Uses of our American isiles. The loss
of spare in storing these bales, and the
generally damaged condition in which
W cotton reaches foreign markets, j
ffivsn rise to a general protest, and I
as about three-fourths of our cotton is
handled ky European buyers, it is to our
i interest to meet their demands In this
respect.
The discriminations which may be
made against our cotton on uccount of
these objections may amount in the ag
gregate to au incredible sum. It has
been found after several tests that the
host size for convenience of handling
and storing is the hale mado from a
press measuring 24 inches in width by
I 64 inches in length. This Is tho sizo ad-
vocatod by all tho cotton growers’ asso
ciations. This size, 24x64, lias been
found to press to a greatur density, and
after Itcing coniprossod for tinal' ship,
mout the original lugging will entirely
cover the compressed bale and thus
much of tlie injury from tho rough
handling of our cotton will be pre
vented.
All Ihis redounds to tho interest-of
tho farmer, because nil the extra ex
penses from waste of rp.too, higher in
surance and actual waste of cotton are
charged against his cotton in the gen
eral account, nud any method which
will reduce those expenses will udd that
much to the price.
In a circular uddruased to the ginners
of tlie Boutb, issued by J. II. Sloan of
Augusta, Ga., one of tho leading cotton
men of tho south, he says that our cot-,
ton, us a rule, reaches the European
manufacturers in such badly damaged
condition thnt they refuse to pay a good
price for it. He has mado a study of
this subject and is in a position which
gives him every opportunity of ascer
taining its true status. In Lis address
to the ginnors he says:
W» tako the liberty of calling your
attention to the importance of exerting
all our efforts In fuvor of the adoption
of the standard size cotton hale, which
is u kale nmdo in a press box, measuring
on tho inside 24 Indies wide by b4 inches
loug, and deep enough to make a hale
weighing about 500 pounds.
It is well understood that the more
cotton that can be stowod in a steamer,
tho less the ireight and consequently
the more the oottou grower will receive
for his crop. It naturally soems that
a few inches in the sizo of bales would
•make no differenco, lint a few inches
running irregularly ibrough un ocean
steamer nmouniB to a great loss of space,
and in stowing bales of irregular sizes,
thoy are so screwed iu odd shaped spaces
us to ofton lire,-ill, and nearly always are
torn and twisted out of shape by tho
time they reach tho foreign ports. Tho
lost spaces also form air pussngos and
in case of a lire tho damage is tnuoh
greater, consequently the insurance is
higher thnn it should lie. The same
com plaints are mode by the railroads
and by the mills when they put their
cotton iu warehouses.
