COMPARATIVE CONDITIONS
The Hest Showing Made In the South¬
ern Section of the State—Oilier
Staple Crops.
The Department of Agriculture has
just completed the work of making up
the average, acreage aud condition of
Georgia crops, using June 1 as the basis.
The result is herewith presented:
Perhaps the most important point
shown in the report is that the increase
in the cotton acreage is only from 2 to 7
per cent iu the different sections, but
the loss iu the condition of the crop, it
is believed, will more than compensate
lor this gain.
The Department of Agriculture sent
out from six to ten circulars to each of
the 137counties in thestate. These cir¬
culars doutaiued 34 questions, asking as
to the epmuarative Tne acreage and coudi
non 1 ot various crops, and replies
were received from between 9.0 aud
1,000 of them, or an average of seven or
eight from each county in the state.
The letter accompanying this circular
sent out by the department is as follows:
"Questions for May crop report, 1901.
Returnable June 1 , 1901.
“Department of Agriculture. Atlanta,
Ga., May 15. 1901.—Dear Sir: Please
answer the following questions on June
1 or as early as possible after that dare,
aud mail promptly so as to reach my
office by the third.
“An average crop, or average coudi
tiou, or anything with which compart
son is made, is always taken as 100 .
Thus, if the corn crop at any time is 10
per cent better than last year, or 10 per
cent better tbau an average, it should be
reported as 110 in each case, and if 10
per cent below these standards, it should
be reported 90. Avoid vague compari
sons, such as ‘some better,’ ‘hardly as
good’, ‘above an average,’ etc.
“In making up your answers let
them apply to the whole county in
which vou reside, not simply to your
‘ ' '
own farm.
“If a crop about which questions are
asked is not grown in your county, use
character X. If you have not sufficient
data to make an approximate estimate,
leave the space blank.
“Very respectfully,

The average stand over the state as com¬

The fruit crop at this time is looked
upon as next almost in importance to
the cotton crop. The percentage of a

that escaped the frost is put at 74 per
cent, apples 07 per cent aud pears 06 7
per cent, The grape crop throughout
the state as compared to last year is 87.7

of the fruit crop are 73 8 per cent, an
outlook much better than was expected
iu view of the many setbacks with
which the fruit has had to contend.

Love nno i iiritt.
The late Professor Shuttleworth of
London was particularly fond of tolling
how, when he once acted as locum
tenons In Devonshire, he Lad to pro¬
claim the banns of marriage of a
young yokel aud u village maid. A
fortnight later the young swain tailed
nt the professor’s lodgings.
“You put up the banns for rue, he
said.
* • Yes, 1 remember,” replied M r.
Shuttleworth.
“Well,” inquired the yokel, “has It
got to go on?”
“What do you mean?" asked the pro
fessor. Are you tired of the girl7”
“No,” was the unexpected answer,
“but I like her sister better.”
“Ob, if the original girl doesn’t mind,
you can marry her sister.”
“But should 1 have to he ‘called’
again?” M
“Certainly, that’s necessary, an
swered Mr. Shuttleworth.
“But should I have to pay again?”
“Yes, it would cost you three and six
pence.” rejoined yokel
“Oh, would it?" the
after reflection, “Then I’ll let it re
main as it is. And he did.—London
Telegraph.
They Eat Themselves.
From various causes, such as anger
and fear, many animals eat their own
flesh. Bats, when caught in a trap by
the leg, will gnaw off the captured
member, and mice in captivity have
been known to bite off their tails. Hut
there are some cryatures which £0
much further and actually eat parts of
themselves if left for too long a period
without food.
A hyena belonging to a menagerie
was kept by the proprietor without
food in order to tame it. One morning
he was horrified to find that the fero¬
cious creature had actually eaten part
of its own leg.
An eagle in the zoo a few years ago
was noted for the fact that it would
now and then pick pieces of flesh out
of its own legs and eat them.
Certain caterpillars and toads devour
their cast off skin. This may be due
to fear, but it looks like economy.
There is just a trace of this charac¬
teristic in human beings. Children
when iu rage sometimes bite their own
hands and arms, although It must be
admitted that they desist when it be¬
gins to hurt
