Wheat Rust.

TaLi.adf.gA, Ala., May 22, 1878. $
Agricultural Editor Constitution, Atlanta,
(in. —l)i;Au Sik : I read in your valuable
Constitution, with much interest, your agri
cultural column, its Well as clippings from
exchanges, in relation to crops throughout
your State. 1 see in your paper of the 7th
lust., a mention of where Captain Henry G.
Lamar, of Baker county, will likely reap
twenty bushels of wheat to the acre, and also
where Judge Wright, of Dougherty, expects
a yield equally as good. Now I would like
exceedingly to have some of these gentlemen
give us theif mode of preparing the ground,
etc.; what manure, if any, is used ; or, in lieu
ofthis; Won't you instruct us? Yours, very
truly k Andrew Jack-sOS.
The above, and one or two other letters
Asking information about wheal; hare been
received, and wc reply :
In regard to rust, wheat growers generally
know that when the rust attacks only the
leaves little harm is done, lull when It is scat*
tered Over the leaves and stalks, stud the
weather becomes moist and Warm, it grows
fapidly aild soon destroys the crop. After
the rust begins an arrest of the filling out of
lire grains takes place. If the grains are in
Hie dough state when it begins, it is better
then to cut the wheat; if the grains arc in
the milk state, culling will not answer.—
Bust is not as apt to attack wheat that ripens
early, hence it is better to sow early varie
ties. Some'persons have sown salt and lime
on their wheat ground, and believing these
things stimulated growth and thus worked
an advantage. Some think a top dressing of
rtable manure, followed by harrowing, would
have a good effect.
To make good crops—if you have land you
Call devote to the purpose—sow peas on it
broadcast, at the same time applying from
150 to 200 pounds of some good superphos
phate—one that has at least ten per cent, of
available phosphoric acid, and if it is pine land
eli mid have about two per cent, of potash.
Turn under the c:op of pea vines in Sep.
tember, and apply on top of the land after
ploughing in the pea vines, four or five bush
els of lime per acre, broadcast. At the pro
per time sow and harrow in the wheat.
If it is intended to sow wheat on laud on
which a crop of corn is now growing, apply
broadcast, when the corn is last ploughed,
from 150 to 200 pounds per acre of a good
superphosphate, and plant peas in rows be
tween the corn rows. The superphosphate
will very materially benefit the corn as well
as the peas. Phosphoric acid i.s a good pro
ducer, and should be used to produce all seed
crops,
When the corn is gathered, cither out and
burn the stalks, or pull them up and burn
them in the furrows when you turn under the
pea vines. If the season is favorable supe
rior wheat will be made.
In his directions tor wdieat growing, the
Commissioner of Agriculture says:
” H it is possible, secure seed from a relia
-dle grower. Early ripening is au alt impor
tant quality. Hardiness to resist disease is
next. Color or size of the grain are minor
considerations. Red wheats are generally
more hardy. The early red May is au old
and very popular variety, and generally cs
capes rust by reasons of earliness and gen
eral hardiness. The early red purple straw
is another good variety. 'Phe Niearauga, a
new variety seeded for three years by Mr. C.
1). Block, Campbelltu, Ca., is believed to
be peculiarly mst.pmof, but is somewhat ob
jectionable on account of its exceedingly
hug rough beard.
"Select, if possible, high, rolling land with
clay subsoil, not too rich, and after thorough
preparation of the soil bv deep ploughing and
liarrowing, sow 15th October to the Ist I>e
cembcr, according to latitude—using, if con
venient. the following compost, which will
answer also for oats :
FOKMUI.A FOIi WUEAT OR WINTER OATS-OX
CLAY LAND.
t otton seed (green) 25 bushels or 750 pounds.
Stable manure 650 pounds.
Superphosphate .500 pounds.
Sulphate ot ammonia 100 pounds.
Slaking a ton of 2,000 pounds.
OX FIXE LAND.
Cotton seed (green) 25 bushels or 750 pounds.
Stable manure -...550 pounds.
Superphosphate 500 pounds.
Sulphate ammonia 100 pounds.
Muriate of potash 100 pounds.
Making a to:: of 2,000
“Prepare as directed in circular N. 42.
After the laud has been thoroughly broken,
apply 400 pounds <f the compost per acre,
and harrow or plough ui lightly with the grain.
For winter crops, the fertilizers should be ap
plied near the surface, and should contain a
larger per cent, of ammonia than those used
on summer crops.”
The Commissioner also says: “Farmers
who are determined to succeed will have per
fected their plans, secured seed, and prepar
ed fertilizers ere this report will reach many
of them, and are only waiting for the time to
arrive. Let every step in the preparation of
the soil, the manures, the selection of seed,
and the sowing be as nearly perfect as possi
ble. Sow no more than can be sown accor
ding to the requirements which have been
taught by experience and by precept to be
necessary to success. A -farmer who shall
merely scratch in a half bushel or three
pecks of inferior seed to the acre, on thin land
covered with cornstalks, grass and weeds,
using, herhnps, the worn-out plows from the
last summer’s ploughing, lias no right to ex
pect a good yield of good wheat—no right to
complain if Providence does not smile upon
his slipshod efforts, or perform a miracle for
his special benefit.
Ihe farmer who has not secured his seed
wheat, should do sc without delay. Early
ripening red wheats are the most reliable.
Early red May, early purple straw (red), Fultz
Niearaugua. are recommended. Tappaban.
nock (white) does well in Middle and North
Georgia. Sow on cotton land if possible.
Prepare the land by deep ploughing, and sow
the seed and fertilizers, and harrow or plow
in smoothly with a small plow. It will pay
to roll the land after covering the seed.”
It the wheat is sown on cotton land, or an}'
land which cannot be prepared by raising
and turning Under a crop of pea vines, it
should have a good superphosphate, applied
with the seed. Unless the composts recommend
ed by the Commissioner can be prepared
and applied according to his directions.
It is better to soW a few acres and so pre
pare the land as to make it produce from 20
to 40 bushels per acre, than to put in a
broader area and make from five to ten bush
els per acre.— At. Const.

Futurity.
Is it possible that man's being is limited
to this life ? Is it possible that no immor
tality awaits him beyond the grave? Is it
possible that man’s death is an eternal sleep ?
If so, why, then, this constant looking into
the future? Why this incessant dissatisfac
tion with the present, and this longing for
future good ? Why this constant instinctive
shrinking back from the dark, bottomless
abyss of annihilation, and this ceaseless aspi
ration after immortality ? Is it possible that
these ennobling aspirations were born in the
hearts of all men, only that they might perish
in the grave ? Was man’s soul, with all its
sublime faculties, with all its inspiriting hopes,
and with all its cravings of eternal felicity,
launched into being by its August Creator,
only to be the miserable foot-ball of a cruel
destiny through the checkered ills of this
short life, and then afterwards to flounder,
and finally to sink forever beneath the turbid
waves of the shoreless gulf of everlasting Ob
livion ? Nil} - ! Kay!! If the great and
GOOD Creator had not prepared a happy and
glorious future destiny for llis creature man.
He assuredly would not have implanted in
his soul at first such lofty aspirations after
eternal felicity. Give to the brute all that
its animal nature craves, and it will have no
thought of the morrow, and no cravings for
any tiling higher and better in the future.
But it is not so with man. Satisfy all man's
animal and fleshly wants—give him houses
and lands, and gold and silver, and pearls
and diamonds—satiate him with food and
drink and raiment, and all the luxuries,
dainties and pleasures which his animal na
ture may desire—and, after all, he is not sat
isfied. His mind and heart crave something
higher and better. He is conscious that his
being is not limited by time, and that he was
formed for a higher aitd nobler sphere than
the humble and miserable one which lie fills
in this material and fleeting world. In this
world, and in this life, lie feels that lie is a
son far from home, and from his father's
house. 11 is thoughts rise upward, and his
heart anticipates the happj' time in the glori
ous future when he shall reach his eternal
home and be embraced in the loving arms of
that Heavenly FA I 11ER, in whose house
“arc many mansions.” Such arc the hopes
of the good man. And even the wicked man
dreads annihilation ; and, although he fears
that the sins which render him Unhappy in
this life may follow and torment him in the
eternal world, yet, he shrinks back instinct
ively from the very thought of eternal noth
ingness and oblivion, and hopes to find some
way yet h$ T wliicdi he may escape from his
sins and their consequences, and may secure
to himself an immortality of blessedness.
G. 11. Caktiuixxr.
Prayer.
Fill up the void spaces of your time with
I meditation and prayer.
They are the safest who arc most in their
closets, who pray not to be seen of men. but
to be hoard of God.
i Prayer doth not consist in gifted expres-
I sions and volubility of speech, but a broken
ness of heart. Imperfect, broken groans from
a broken heart, God will accept. A hard
heart cannot pray ; a broken heart is made
up of prayer.
j It is a comfort to Christians apart to have
their prayers meet before a throne of grace,
and their persons shall meet before a throne
of glory.
When God pours out His Spirit upon man,
, then man will pour out his heart before God.
He that lives without prayer, or prays with
out life, hath not the Spirit of God.
Prayer does not consist in the elegance of
; the phrase, but in the strength of the affec
tion.
1
;
Where there is a willing heart, there will
he a continual crying to heaven for help.
Pray that you may pray.
Waiting upon Goil continual!}' will abate
your unnecessary cares and sweeten your
necessary ones.
Let nothing go between Heaven and prayer
but Christ.
l'raycr, if it be done as a task, is no prayer.
Sin quenches prayer ; afflictions quicken it.
The same spirit of prayer which teaches a
man to cry earnestly, teaches him to wait
patiently ; for as it assures him that mercy
is in the Lord's hand, so it assures him it
will be given forth in the Lord's time.
The breath of prayer comes from the life
of faith.
They that spend their days in faith and
prayer, shall end their days in peace and
comfort.
My life, and all I have from Adam, is sub
ject to deatli; we want a life which death can
not touch. Such a life is found only in Christ,
for he is the Lord of life in the hour of death;
yea, he will turn death itself into life.— R>muun.

A little Whitehall boy was given ten cents,
a few days since, to go to the grocery and

“My dear!’’ she remarked through the tel
