EfiS OF GEORGIA. v -I}* ■ 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.

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 nu iie in the p ipVr and is looke I up 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 plications .for army invalid pensions were allowed and an aggregate an* nmil ra eOf $39,332, and kerosene oil is the bek furniture oil ; it cleanses, adds, a polish and pre 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 degradation of men in Rjgh A J^ssJ’baV4?fP le Wo “ ai J. her husband feared Go»" and (ended, “I guess he does, fojHr ne ver goes out on Sundays bis£ UQ w .‘l h H NO. 36.
