Goldniuitb, Comptroller Gen eral, from returns made to hia office by the Try Receivers for 1873 and 1874, and by Tax Collectors in 1873; and by him reported to this Department. I havo nr* ranged the tables for convenience, and havo compiled from the returns in the Comptroller’s office, the facts and deduc tions following the tables, and hereby publish the same for information, believ ing it will bo interesting und useful to all classes of the people of Georgia : & i IN 283: „ss! jsjssf iftlBtlS'lttgRBi rs'i's.'s %% ►2 oo w5fcM <» 5 sS- ^ 6» 5o tf’ s S3 IBPJLb: __ | s s 2 a 1'?,§ § g i s | i g *2 e 1 ?*© c'S’ g I o ll l i Stock Returned.

It should bo borne in mind that tho crops returned ns planted and produced by negroes, mean those that were owned exclusively by, and under tho sole control and management of negroes. If it were knowu what number of ne groes thus worked exclusively on their rn account, and what number of hands >rked the crops credited to tho whites; and if the returns made were approxi mately correct, the knowledge thus gained onld be far more useful and satisfactory As before remarked, tho present law for the collection of statistics affecting agri culture does not, in uiy opiniou, require them to be takon iu sufficient extent, de tail and exactness. The wider und more precise tho inquiries and returns made (up to a certain limit), the greater ill bo tho light thrown on our matcrii ‘ condition, and the more important will 1 the aids thereby rendered to our agricul tural, manufacturing and commercial in terests. Statistics should bo approximate ly accurate and reliable; and some plan, to ascertain important facts in relation to agriculture, readily and surely, will be most valuable aid to tho tillers of the soil, as well as others. Before concluding, 1 cannot refrain •oui especially noting tho gratifying in crease iu tho acreage of corn, wheat, outs, sugar cane aud potatoes, planted for this year’s crop—those indispensable articles of home supply which ought to bo rnudo at homo. The decrease in cotton excels tho in crease in corn; while the increase in wheat, oats, sweet potatoes and sugar cane, shows that the farmers have most decidedly turned their efforts in tho di rection of making all their houio supplies. The deer case in acreage of cotton is 3 34*100 per cent.; while the increase in is l.'>| per cent., and iu wheat over ll) per cent. It is earnestly hopod that the coming year will exhibit a corres pondingly greater increase in the acreage planted, of all kinds of grain, tho grasses, sugar cane, potatoes; etc. Tho increased number of all kinds of farm stock is particularly gratifying. It is not unlikely that th'e mcroflso of horses and mules is due more to purchases than to the raising of colts. It is hoped that with tho continually increasing produc tions of grain and forage, and sheep, hogs and cattle, more attention will be given to tbo raising of our own horses and mules. What policy can possibly be move ruin ous, what spectacle more decidedly to bo condemned, than that of an ay. ricultural people, living in ttie most productive country, and blessed with tho most genial climate on tho globe, purchasing their supplies!— a farmer buying that which his ouui farm will abundantly produce ! Tho evidence here exhibited, that this suicidal policy is changing, is a most gratifying fact. A farming people who purchase their supplies of farm produce, will certatnly grow poorer as long as they continue to do so. What would the world say of a cotton manufacturer who pur chased the yarns and cloth necessary to supply the market, which his own factory should turn out ? ^ And I trust I shall be pardoned in at tributing much of this encouraging change for tho better to the efforts and teachings of tho Patrons of Husbandry in Georgia. A resolution urging farmers to plant only third of their cultivated crops in cot ton, aud the remainder equally iu corn and the small grains was introduced by Col. T. J. Smith, Muster of the State Grange, at its uieetiug in Macon, nearly a year ago; aud it was unanimously adopted at the great muss meeting of that body iu Atlanta, in January last. This resolution was, by order of the body, sent to each subordinate Grange, with the request that the policy he urged upon each indi vidual member, which was faithfully done all over tho State; aud tho good effects are very apparent. Lot tho policy be still further urged, aud the good work contin ued. Last year tho acreage of corn, accord ing to tho returns, was 1,1)27,0Id acres, producing 10,023,013 bushels. If the yield this year, por acre, is equal to lust year, the crop will amount to 11,358,447 bushels, being an increase of 1,335,034 bushels. What amount of corn was imported for this year’s supply, I have beou unable to ascertain satisfactorily. It is believed, however, that it excels the incronse of corn luado this year fiver last year, aud that a considerable (though largely re duced) quantity, will havo to ho brought from abroad, to supplement our present crop, it is e-truestly hoped that a still larger area, aud a further increased pro duction next year, will fully meet tho home demand. Unless wo have n self-sustaining indus try, we shall forever remain poor. Whenever wo make, at home, every needful article of farm produce, the pres ent ruinous rates of interest will cease; money will no longer bo in such groat do- maud, and our people will soon be out of debt. Then plenty and contentment will TELEGRAPHIC NOTES.

It is proper to remark that tho Act of 20th February, 1874, providing for the collection and publication of Agricultu ral Statistics, is not oh specific and exact in its requirements, as it perba| s might well bo; hence, the returns, even when made with care, are not as full as conld be desired, and ns public interest would seem to require. And I might further remark, that Rome of the Tax Receivers and Collectors ap pear not to have exercised such care in Let us no longer bo slaves to our own folly, or forge the chains which manacle our liiubH. The policy of kooping out of debt—of buying nothing except, what can ho paid for at once—is gradually gaining strength, and this, in a great measure, justice re quires to be said, is due to the influence of tho Granges. If the Order of Pa trons of Husbandry never accomplish anything moio than to impress upon our farmers Ihe very important lessons of raising their own farm supplies, and of paying as they go, their labors will not be iu vain. And I take great pleasure in saying that much of the good thus accomplished is due to tho iutluouce and patriotic labors of the State Agricultural Society and itH subordinate societies. This useful and time-bouored organization is groatly dis tinguished by being uuder tho manage ment of a largo number of the very best and wisest men in Georgia, who have worked in harmony, having no selfish motive to serv ; but have, in every pos sible wav, labored to induce our farmers to adopt tho policy of making tlioir own supplies, of keeping out of debt, and of working vigorously with our own bands to regain our former condition of plenty and prosperity.
