WORK FOR COMING MONTH CmmImImM «f Agriculture Neebltt Vrgt* CHtlMM Activity In Carry, •■a Oat All Plan* Formulated at tho Beginning of the Tear. 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.
