STATE OF GEORGIA, 7
Dep’T OP ftshICULTURB, >
Atlanta, Ga., Jfcn. 9, 1874. )
At a Cnnvcritipp df Georgia Agri
culturists. which'assembled in At>
lanthj on the 16tb.ofTJdcem ber last,
Mr.'H. P. JdhnMAof Griffin, offered
the fqlluwuy^;
“Itesolved, Xh a t the reco nmon
datiun made by the Cotton States
Agiicultural Coareptinn, that one
third of land be com; pue.-
third in smaU pniny »nd’or:e tliird
In cotioh, be adopied \>y this Con
vention ; and that a eommiit'’e'bc
t6 drift an addressappf tl
ing to all plant rs to carry out this'
system this year.”
Gen. A. 11. Colquilt offered the
following as an amendment r
“That the Commissionei of Agri
culture be rcquesied to issue a circu
lar, embodying the views of the fore
going resolution.”
The amendmapt was agreed to,
and the resolution as amended was
adopted.
In compliancei with this request
I most eamesily appeal ,to every till
er of the soil inf Georgia, to »> far
adopt the recommendation, as not
to fail in any easel to raise at homo
an abundant supply of every article
for consumption 'that can be pro
duced upon the fcrm.
The embarrassment and distress
among farmers which meet us every -
where forcibly admonish us that ihe
plan heretolore pursued bv a major
ity of the planters in Georgia is not
wise, and that it should be speedily
changed.
We have been led astray—away
from the paths of wisdom and safety,
into those of errof, leading ineviia
bly to ruin—with (he beguiling fas
cinuion of making cotton to bes Id
at a high price, and thereby rapidly
regaining our 101 l wealth. It has
proved 10 be worse, if possible, than
a delusion and a snare, it is a rock
upon which thousands of liirmers
have b en shipwrecked, and unless
we desist Lorn inis course, impover
ishment and bankruptcy will be our
certain doom. Each and eyery one
of us must make a full supply cf
provisions and forage ai home ; arid
let what little cotton we make be
wholly a surplus e-op?
If we will all adopt this po icy,
and unflinchingly pursue it. a tew
years will find us out of debt, with
plenty of life’s neces-aries on hand
and surplus money in our pockets.
What tongue or pen can fully de
pict the happy condition of the
country if the farmers were out of
debt, had no farm products 10 buy,
and had one half, or even one third,
as much cotion as they made this
year? We can, in three years, ho
in that condition, if we will adopt
the recornmendotion of the Conven
tion, to plant not m reihan one-third
of our crops in cotton, and steadily
adhere to it.
If we wil l adopt and bravely carry
out this policy, m ten years Georgia
will be the richest country the sun
ever shined upon. Our farmers will
l»e our moneyed men. They wdl
own all ihehank stock, railroad
siock, and all the manulactories in
the country ; invade the towns and
cities with their superabundant mon
ey, and possess much of the b st
real estate in them : and have the
means to invest in any profitable en
terprise that may oiler.
We hear much complaint about
ihe demoralized condition of the la
bor of tbe country and of the scarcity
of money and hard limes ; any many
of us are earnestly seeking methods
of procuring better labor and induc
ing capitalists from abroad to bring
money into this State, It is true
that our labor is greatly reduced in
effectiveness and value, ami that
money is soarce and interest high
hut if our present labor, however in
ferior it may be, were but rightly
directed, the land would teem with
plenty. Money is scarce and inter
est high because we have too many
things to buy. We ought not m buy
a single thing which our farms will
produce. Then we would not spend
so much money. The demand would
be lessened, the supply would equal
the demand, and the rate of interest
would be low. We would not dre
| whether foreign capital would come
among us or not, *and if we should
want oiher labor, we would be able
to procure it, and our very condition
would greatly improve the labor we
have. There is no telling the ad
vamages ano blessifigs which would
ensue from adopting and firmly ffd
jhe'tng to the policy recommended.'
Already some ol the’se benefits are
a: parent. The same recommenda
tion was' made by similar assem
blages of Georgia in and vyiis
heeded, to some extent—the reaii't
being-a perceptible increase in out
provision a.d forage, and a flight
reduction,of our coiton crop,, giving
hope and-encouragement to all to 1 do
likewise.
It is a well ascertained faet, that
Cor the years 1873-an I 1574, it.cosl
more to raise a pound of cotton ilrat
a pound of cotion brought in market.
It is safe to sty that for these two
years seven-iemhs of the cotton that
was sold for less thin 15 cents prf
pound, cost more to jpake i4 than
it brought.
Before the war, when our fapmer&
made everything needed for con
sumntion which iheir farms wunld
produce, it cost from 6 to 7 cents to
raise a pound of cotton. Ftir the
past two'years the actual cost of
making it, as ascertained by a num.
ber of the |?.st farmers in Georgia,
who trave kept an-exact account of
the same from first ia last, ranges
from 12A to 17 cents per pound.
A careful inquiry, ma le by this
Department, lias failed to find a sin
gle firmer who always raises Iris
supplies, who is not out of debt and
in easy, it not ihrilty, ciicumsiances/
or if such a man owes anything, it
is fir laud or some valuible invest
ment—certainly not lor what his
family must have to eat and wear.
On theorher hand, the suite careful
inquiry has failed lo find a single
farmer who pursued a different poli
cy, who is rot more or less embar
rassed, irequently to a serious ex
tent.
Farmers of Georgia l pliant less
cotton. Do not. 1 entreat you, any
longer pursue a suicidal policy. Live
at home. Cease to make haste to
be rich. Remember that slow and
s early gains alone are euduring.—
Keep out of debt. Let every farmer
and every lanner's wile ha e a hor
ror of debt and avoid it, as they
would the touoh of a reptile. Let
every o.re adopt the system of plant
ing a smaller area of ground, of
thorough culture, and high fertiliza
tion. Make every loot ot your lands
rich. No farmer dan afford to culti
vate poor land.
II possible make your manures at
home. They are cheapest mid sen-,
erally pay best. Very
tiiiz-us can be ipade ot stable iffTP
imro and cotton seed, properly corn*
posted with dissolved or ground
b->nes» silt, plasier, potash, etc. -I
here present a few formulae far com
pounding cheap home made fertili
zers, with the cost of the articles
annexed, from which it will be seen
that a sufficient q rantity of good
manure is within the reach of the
poorest farrne-. Such math .ds of
making manures, coupled with tbe
turning U’.ider ot given crops i r Au
gu.-t, will give us ad the fertilizing
we need, and if persisted in, will
make our lands as rich as we de
sire,
Without a change ruin.is even in
sigh now. “A prud-nlman fore-
B'-etii the evil and hideth himself,
but the simple p iss on and are pun
ished.” Prov. 22;3,
Wnli ihe hope lint our Agricul
ture liny speedily be revived Irom
its present languishing condition,
and become the most profitable oc
cupation in the State.
I am. m >st respectfully,
Your obedient servant,’

How Jackson Green Deceived His Poor
Old Grandfather.
Jackson Green is fourteen years
o'd,and he lives on Sixth street.—-
'l’lle other day while rending
dime novel, his ghindfather came in
with the paper and asked him to
read the president’s message. It ir
ritated Jacks nn to break otf his s ory
just where the tripper was going to
ue scalped, and made up his mind
io have revmigu on his grandfather.
He took up th© paper and started
off as u3 follows :
The business of the patent office
allows a steady increase. Since 18-
30 over 155,000 patents have been
issue. Officer Deck, of the station
house, wants it distinctly understood
that htFTS trot Deck tmftnWltaMMfr
few days since as a lunatic.
*Wnat I’exclaimed the old man,
‘is that in the mes-age V
'iiight here, every word of it I'
replied Jackson. And he contin
ued ;
The business of the agricultura I
bureau is rapidly growing and the
department grounds are being en*
larged, and tne highest prize in a
nese lottery is twenty-nine celt's,
au 1 the man who draws it has his

on as a heap ol a fellow.
'■‘Whatl what is’ that V roared
the old m in. ‘I aever heard ol such
a message as that!’
.‘J can't help it,’ replied Jackson :
‘you asked me to read the presidet's
message and I’m reading it.’ Aud
he went on:
During the year 5,758 new ap

s9tves bom i-te ravages of insects,
‘Jackson Qmeri, does that mes
sage read that way V aske the old
man,
‘You don’ suppose 1M lie to you,
do yoo 1’ inquired Jackson, putting
nu an injured look, .
,•‘Well, it seems singular,’ mused
the old ‘1 sit mldu’t wonder if
Grant was tired.when wro o that.’.
*Wel*, I didn’t write the mes
sage,’ replied Jackson, and contin
ued' :
There are 17,620 survivors of the
war of 1812 on the pension rolls, at
a total annual rite of $1,691,620
anil still another lot ot tho4e one
dollar felt shirts—they go like hot
cakes ou a cold morning.
. ‘Hold on, Jackson—stop right
there 1’ said the old man as he rose
up. ‘You needit’t read another
word ofihat messtge. If General
Grant thinks he can insult the
Amctipan people with impunity he
will find himself mistaken. You
may throw the paper in the s ove,
Jackson, and let this bo an awful ex
ample to yoo never to taste intoxi
cating drinks.’
Jackson tossed the paper and re
sumed his dime novel, while the old
«nt leaned back and pondered on
