V ■.ixvir.au ,-mmuj mmiiam Monthly Talk With Fiii-inurs. Since the last lnouth’s crop report was issued, llio excessive rains in many'local ities. and particularly along tho water courses, have worked iucaluculahlo in jury to the growing crops, and that which at ono time was an exceptionally lino prospect lias been materially in jured. This condition is more marked on the bottom lands, and in a largo poc- dortiou of tho cotton licit, tlie COTTON on tho light gray, sandy lands has tho appearance of having Been scalded, and rust, which is now general, lias destroy- all hope of any further growth qr matu rity of fruit. In the lower portion of tlio state tlie heavy rains, coming just at tlie critical fruiting season, have short ened this crop very matcriall v. A short age of one-third in tho fertilizers used nn'l in many cases tlie inability of fail ure of farmers to cultivate their crops us rapidly and as thoroughly as tliair condition demanded, is another cause for tlie unpromising prospect as to Hint ing. Tho wood is small everywhere, lmt on stiff lands where fertilized and well worked at the proper time, is well fruit ed. 13nt a general survey of,the crop throughout tho.state indicates a large reduction of the yield in tho present crop. But, however great this reduc tion, the large surplus from last year’s crop, which is yot on hand, seems to still exert a depressing influence on (he mar ket, Never in fifty years lias the price of cotton opened so low, and the fact that our chief moucy crop is produced at a heavy loss has not only impaired tho credit of the producer, lmt lias, to a great extent, paralyzed his energies,and many farmers are casting ahng.it ful some other-employment by which they hope to bring relief to themselves anil their families. While our farmers are cramped and there is A FEELING OF UNREST apparent over tho entire country, tliero is another class of our citizens as sensi bly affected, and but for the careful methods and business sagacity of many of our merchants in dealing with these perplexing problems they too would to day be in a condition as distressing as that of the farmer. Many of t hese are, however, conducting their business on a credit basis, their credit based on our main staple crop anil when this crop is selling below the cost of production they must necessarily hear their proportion of the general suffering. Since the war wo have pursued a false system of farming, which looked only to immediate results, without regard to the future building up of our lands. Ar. long as the price of cotton was' fairly above the cost of production, this system inured to tlie benefit of tho merchant, because it enabled him to sell to 1ho short-sighted farmer tlie supplies which ho ought to have raised at home. In return, tho merchant secured tho cotton crop, which would always com mand the cash when put upon tho mar ket, It is true that in isolated cases farmers have by this plan made money, hut it is only where very large yields have been secured, and where great en ergy and ability to control labor have been demonstrated. Some farmers have better business qualifica tions than others, and as with' merchants, their qualifications enable them to succeed Where their less astute and enterprising neighbor would fail. But no matter what a man’s qualifica tions, he cannot successfully conduct a is conceded that he pays a higher rate of interest than men engaged in other pur suits, because he has to borrow for a longer time, and‘that his profits are, ns a rule, smaller in proportion to the cap ital and labor invested 7 BETTER METHODS and a new and wide awake farm policy sre the imperative needs of the time. We raise seventy-five per cent, of all tlio eotlon made in t he world, and only 0110- seventh of this crop is manufac tured in this country. Is it nut most importont that xve should consider care fully (he markets of the old world, and dot ermine what proportion of onr lands we can safely and profitably devote to cotton 7 For the past few years produc tion has so fur outstripped tlio demands of trade, that we gr.- now confronted xvitli ils consequences in a condition of affairs alarming to every one who desires tlie prosperity of the South and the suc cess of tier great agricultural industry. The low price of cotton is sensibly felt in fill our main centers of trade, because every occupation rests upon tho great foundation stone—agriculture, and when that is undermined the whole structure is in danger. Tlio experience of tlie past quarter of a century clearly indicates that we must make radical changes in our farm management—home-raised sup plies, diversity of crops and a determina tion to build up and improve our lands, 1st, by fewer acres in crops requiring clean culture; 2d, by a larger area in rye and other small grain crops, following these with peas, and these in turn by our standard crops. This plan will insure a supply of vegetable matter in the soil to be’utilized by subsequent corn and cot ton crops, prevents washing and leach ing and gives the land a rest from tho exhausting processes under which it lias suffered so many years. Diversity should bo the slogan from one end of this land lo the other—diversity of crops, diversity of pursuits, etc. Our large crops of cot ton have have not only injured our lands, hut have heavily taxed our resources, brain and credit and muscle, and to com pute our losses would require no ordinary calculation. In tlm hist season alone t lie Southern farmers lost over one hundred millions. And ithnsboeoineaproverbthnt every man who handles cotton .realizes more on iff ban the farmer who produces it. To illustrate: Great Britain imported $213,000,000 worth of raw cotton; man ufactured and sold $310,447,210 worth of goods—more than one hundred millions profit—besides keeping enough cotton to supply tlio wants of forty millions ofi inhabitants. Had the South manufac tured even her share of this amount, how I much money would have been kept at homo, put in circulation and finally sought permanent investment within her The factories would have our commercial fertilizers. When these coarse manures can be sown broadcast mid a grain crop sown, followed by pens llio land will be in such a condition that the application of a moderate amount of fertilizers will produce crops which will astonish and delight the farmer win tiles the experiment. Let ns make, as iar as possible, these needed changes in our own immediate surroundings. Those lil tie ripples in tho big ocean of progress wi.l spread until entire neighborhoods will be effected by the waves of improve ment, until our red bills will be clothed iu verdure and millions saved to the South. Now is tlm timo to sow yotir patches oi rye and barley. Don’t lie afraid oi too much manure. Lay it on bounti fully and after tho hind has been thor oughly and deeply broken, sow youi seed. Remember that PREPARATION IS AS IMPORTANT AS MA NURING, and if you wish good returns, you must break deeply and harrow until your land is m fine tilth. Tliesr crops insure green food for both cattle and stock, and mean an abundance of rich milk and butter, and sleek and healthy animals. Very little is accomplished in this world iii any occupation without lalsirious work and the farmer will find that lie is in exception to tins rule, if he makes a sue cess ol his business. Energy, bruins und application will accomplish almost anv deaircd result. AVill my fellow farmers follow the lead of those pioneers who an now reaping tlie benefit of their im proved methods 7 I will be pleased to receivo tho view.- of farmers throughout tho state on am mid ever line pertaining to our interest. How many farmers have resolved to innki? their meat at homo? How many intend to change the ruinous policy of risking their entire interest in ono crop’: limy many intend to improvo their lands t How many are making perma nent pastures V Let me hear from you, 3ii) friends, and let us have a genuine awakening throughout tlie state. We " ill never have a better opportunity to make the change, therefore ictus make t intelligently, let us make it systemut- icnlly. It. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner of Agriculture. Notes from Corresiiomlcutfl horde given employment to a class of people who are averse mid unaccustomed to c country life; would have opened iq markets for products which, under tin present system, are often wasted on tin farm, and tho tlumsaiMe of bushels ol fruit and vegetables which have been allowed to decay for want of a market, would now be converted into cash ami in tlio farmer's pocket. There is no estimating tho possibilities of our section when the energy and intelligence of our people become diverted from the old and unsatisfactory channels into which they have run for the past tiiird of a century. The lumber industry, is a very impor tant one and represents nearly as much capital as cotton. Even .under present conditions, the grain product is worth more tlmn our cottton, but one-third of tlie gross value of our cotton crop goes to the West to purchase breadstuff's. In the last two mouths over 82,000,000 pounds of meat have been shipped to Ui South from Chicago alone; representing over $8,000,000, which ought to have been kept at home, OTHER l'AYINO INDUSTRIES. When a proper knowledge of the land best suited, of the most approved methods for planting, cultivating, curing and marketing tobacco, shall have been thor oughly mastered and intelligently ap plied, we will have a crop that pays a larger dividend per acre than anv crop xve now cultivate, and I trust it will bo only a few years before our enterprising farmers will bo enjoying tlie fruits of this new industry. Another industry, which has proven most profitable to the Northern farmer, is tho MANUFACTURE OF CHEESE, It has been demonstrated beyond a doubt that at the South we can produce, and at loss cost, the finest of cream cheese, and with cold storage convenient, it can be preserved indefinitely. A smaller quantity of milk is required hero to pro duce a pound of. these than in tho stato of Ohio, and when our cheap lands, bet tor opportunities for keeping cattle and shorter winters are considered, we will, I hope, soon see this new field of profit able employment thoroughly worded. At tlio experiment station at Griffin this industry is being thoroughly tested, and there is now being conducted there, in daily operation, a successful CHEESE FACTORY, Any man in the state who feels an in- tei’est in t his question and is desirous of Studying all its details, will bo welcomed at tlio experiment farm, and in thirty days a competent man can gain such un insight in|o correct methods as will en able him to manage a factory for liim- solf and neighbors. He, of course, pays bis traveling expenses and board for that time. Heretofore, in keeping any consider able number of cows, the great difficulty tlie farmer has encountered lias been tlio want of n ready and convenient market for the surplus milk. But if we can sell our milk as it is brought from tlio burns, or can convert it into cheese, and can find a ready sale for this product in our nearest towns or in our country neigh borhoods, it will give nil impetus to stock-raising,solve the manure and grass questions, and start our people on a lino of work heretofore considered impracti cable in tliis section. An outlay of $200 or $300 will purchase (lie necessary out fit for a cheese factory. Let neighbor hoods get together and erect these cheese factories. In tlio hands of intelligent and enterprising business men, they will develop and expand in every community resources entirely unknown now. Let us remember that a new era is upon us ; labor is becoming each year more unreliable, and the results of this tabor less remunerative. To meet these changes we will be compelled to change our —m—...... NORTH GEORGIA, Banks—Cotton improving since lost report. Corn not so good. .
