These unfavorable conditions liuvo ’not only imposed ADDITION Ah WORK or. the fanner, in that he tuts in many eases been compelled to plow up nnd re plant his cotton, but whero a bare stand has been left the cultivation has been more difficult, on account of tho care necessary to snvo eaclt littlo plant. vV hue the crops in tho northern portion of the state are backward, tho weather for tho latter portion of the month has brought about must encouraging growth nnd development, and as a rule the crops nro fairly well advanced. Every month should he n busy otto on the larin, but if there is any one period into which more should he crowded than at »ny other time, tho work for THE MONTH OF JUNK Is tlint, which requires inoro thought, closoi-attention to tho various needs of tire different crops, greater cure in tho cultivation, more intelligent direction iu every way. A mistake now may prove fatal. A COHN CHOP can, nt this period, bo utterly ruined by ono injudicious plowing. Remember that it needs all the support it can draw from tho soil through its roots. They were put there and their office is to tako in the elements of plant food suited to its growth and development, nnd should they ho injured, the vitality of the plant is impaired to just that extent. How important, then, tlint the plan of culti vation should ho such as to conserve every influence of heat nnd light nnd air to the best, develpmont of tho plant. Before this talk reaches tho farmers in tho more southern portion of the state, the corn crop will have been “laid by." hut in middle nnd northern Georgia much of tho crop will have to receive another working. This difference is even more marked titan usual because of tho very unnropitious weather dur ing portions of April and May. As a rule the last working should be given to coru just as the stalks bunch to tas- Hcl upe.Ulxy I till VI a--re I( Ijtu mi^o, tvhore you cun possibly manage to do the work sow PEAS broadcast, and while you may receive no benefit in tho shape of matured peas, yon will ho repaid in tho fertilizing properties which this crop has deposit ed in your soil, and your land will he put in better condition for succeeding crops. No farmer can regret sowing peas even if ho never gathers the crop. There is an idea that this is wasted if it never reaches tho barn, but the grateful shade they furnish the land, tho crowd ing out of noxious woods and grasses, which take t,p the fertilizer and return nothing exc pt additional work and worry for tho farmers; tho fertilizing material they absorb into the soil will more than repay for tho time and labor expended. Don’t allow oilier work to > crowd out this important crop. Wei must restore some of the elements of | fertility to our exhausted lands, nnd there can no hotter time be found to | commence this needed reform than just now. On your oat stubblo scatter a phosphate and sow a bushel of peas to the acre. With seasons you will get a good cutting of vines for your stock, and by turning the stubble under in the full, you lay the foundation for a marked improvement in tho crops which follow. If yon do not need tho vines for stock feed, leave them until they attain ma turity and then turn under. COTTON should ho cultivated flat nnd shallow and with the leading thought that the work should bo hastened in such man ner that the plants will lie encouraged to mature and begin taking on fruit at tlio earliest possible moment. Tho farmer who succeeds in this lias reason to congratulate himself that he has pursued an intelligent and remunera tive plan. The time at which cultiva tion should cease, depends so much on the character of the land and its gen eral condition, that it is impossible to lay down any tixed time for the suspen sion of this work. When, however, the fruiting season arrives, tho fields being in good tilth, the cultivation having been such as to best appropriate the elements of plant growth and development, it matters not whether you have plowed your crop over three times or six times, you have reached the period when further culti vation may result in harm. On old and very stiff land I have sometimes seen good rosults from a plowing Into in July, but where tho conditions are favorable it is best to lay by” early in July. The effect of Ji* ‘J 1 ? ", the fal1 ’ them nwny careful y—the methods for doing this we will discuss later—and sell in tho spring, when they always command Fhey can ho saved and uith xeiy little trouble or expense over the old haphazard methods. Keep tho DARDENS clean. Don t allow tho weeds and grass to appropriate the fertilizer intended for j-our vegetables, to tlio disappoint incut of the good wife nnd children whose comfort and health are so largely dependent on the aid of good, whole some food with ordinary seasons, there Is no reason why every fanner should not ho supplied with an abundance of homo raised vegetables, in every re spect so superior to those shipped and exposed for sale in the city markets. We should watch closely apj.ir.-a .. various crops uuu douvor to arrive at some certain conclu sion as to their adaptability to our soils nnd their effect on the crops. STABLE MANURE is n complete fertilizer, and therefore ndnptod to itlI our standard crops. Let me urgo upon our farmers to try nnd save every pound of this life-giving, life-sustaining plant food. Stall or pen your cattle at night. Keep tho stalls well filled with leaves, straw or any substance than will ohssrb or retain tho volatile elements. Wool’s earth, or, if you have it. marl or land plaster, spread upon the bedding will act as an absorb ent, thus retaining the valuable ele ments which are usually allowed to waste. The urine contains as valuable plant food as the inure solid matter, nnd this should impress the thrifty fanner who has never given this subject much thought, with the importance of so con structing his stables that no loss will occur from leaching or leaking. On tTip average farm nearly all of this is wasted, and it is only when tho farm er's attention is called to tho oversight that lie realizes the largo saving which lie might annually accomplish by care in this one particular. Were the small farm economies more generally prac ticed, we might be saved many expendi tures which now seem absolutely neces sary in order to carry on our business. R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner. r 1 WOODWORK,! I WTAWMOnsjl thf REST IS THE CHEAPEST. lend TEN centre ^tSSSSSP^ »g*ln corn ns regard this crop, we are first moving to nself-sustaining position. | Reports liavo been recolvod nt the de- ' parment of a number of farmers in lower Georgia who have corn sufficient nnd to spare, nnd of an increase of tho largo number usual in north Georgia. " lth 1,10 increased yield in corn comes an increase in our meat product, which conies in further on tlio road to indo- pendence. OTok'SAUBV OAUA*.X*^* commercial fertilizers has been to has ten the maturing of tho crop and thus materially shorten tho crop season. This month also finds us with SMALL GItAiN to he harvested, whioli is a heavy draft on tho resources of tho farm, and unless arranged for with careful forethought, entails much inconvenience. As our farms aro usually managed tho harvest comes when every nerve is strained in taking care of tho other main crops, and unless additional labor can bo pro cured, ioss must follow. If a mower can ho hired and your lands admit of its use, save tho grain with that. But if it is necessary to use cradles as many are compelled to do, additional help must be hired, oecauso tho regular force must he kept at the cultivated crops. Shock carefully and cap securely, thus avoid ing i*K3 waste which too often results from careless haste in theso important particulars. By careful management tho harvesting cun go on, aud the other crops receive their duo share of atten tion. The work is imperative and ex acting, hut by prudence and foresight anv clashing of duties may bo uvoideo, and tho general work of tho farm more on undisturbed. Continue to put out POTATOES, you can’t have too many, and if you Gpticrul lie m nr lift. Notwithstanding tho fact that the temperature during the month has ranged very low crops, with the excep tion of cotton, have not suffered and nro looking well. Tlio warm weather that has been interspersed with tho cold days and nights bus done much to s'- cure this result. Several storms of special severity liavo passed over locali ties especially in the eastern portion ot tho state causing considerable destruc tion to fences, buildings and crops, nnd the high winds that have prevailed in blown many peaches aud plumbs trom thetreos. COTTON. As notoil this crop has suffered most from tho prevailing weather conditions, nnd in many quarters poor stands aro reported ns a result of the cool nights. However, tho plant has groat recupera tive powers, nnd the increased heat that has prevailed at intervals has had tho effect of invigorating the plants thn survived the cold. A comparison of the tabulated statement for the samo period last year does not show n gratifying re sult nnd tho prospect is not ns good as nt this time last year. In several of the larger cotton counties correspondents noting the various reports that have h. on issued since the report from this department emphasize the tact that iu their counties no increase has been made in t lie cotton acreage. From per sonal observation and predicated upon reports we do not nt this time see that eithor tho acreage or condition prom ises in Georgia a much greater yield this year than last. We would rather that all reduction was the result of a cutting down of the acreage and none the result of crop failure and sincerely hope that our farmers realizing their situation xvill not again permit them selves to bo confronted by so large a production beyond tho demands of con sumption, WHEAT. A reftrenca to tho tabulated state ment shows an encouraging condition ns regards this crop. Compared with last year the yield promised, judging from the harvested area, and the con dition of the standing crop, ar in north Georgia 98|, middle Georgia 98J, and tho state 103. Two successive years of successful raising of this crop ought to induce our fanners to study tho best methods of cultivation and sort to thorough instead of super ficial preparation. Usually clnssitie- as a side instead of a main crop wheat culture in Georgia has not received the attention it merits and do servos. In our last report we called at tention to the adaptability of so much of our soil to this cereal, and wo trust that thoughtful consideration of tho matter will, year by year, see an in creased acreage and better methods. Wo doubt not that a study of tho causes of failure, aud avoiding them ?.-ill, except when the year is unusually disastrous, nssuro a fair yield. OATS. The weather during the month has favored this crop, and the rains early in the mouth have had tho effect of in creasing tlift yield. Hero again wo would call attention to tho fact that if a larger yield of oats is desired, more care than we are accustomed to bestow Should he taken in the preparation and fertilization of the soil. Compared with an average, the pros pective yield for the state is 97 3-5. OORN. In regard to this crop the most flat teriug conditions exist, and, while hud worms have done considerable damage in localities, on the whole the outlook is promising. With the increased acre- MELONS. Tlie reports to tho department and the compiled figures of tho Molon Growers’ association show a decrease in ioai teage in melons, Whileasa money crop nml a source of diversification the beliovo to ho a enuso for congratulation to the melon growers, ns a glutting of tho market always results disas trously to the producer. Tlio condition of tho crop is fair, though tho cool nights have not been favorable to the host development of the plant. Th crop is now being laid by, and shipping will commence in about two weeks, the Florida melon already having made its appeurnnee in the market. » PEAS. Before closing this report we desire to call attention to pea planting nnd to urge upon our farmers tho necessity o' putting in between the furrow and on other land ns large a crop ns possible The cow pen is essentially tho logtimen of Southern Georgia whero clover will not flourish. In tho renovation of land it plays a scientific part as do ull legu- inen and has the power possessed by no other germs of plants of adding free nitrogen to the soil. Nitrogen or ammonia ns it is classed by tho depart ment, is tlio most expensive of plants foods nnd its artificial supply to plants does not give the satisfactory result ns when supplied by means of legutnenous plants. These plants seeni to he na tures prime restorer to bo utilized by man. The process of restoration when soil is reclaimed hv its ordinary vege tation is slow, by these crops rapid nnd complete. When tho farmer can with out loss aud even with profit, add to the productiveness of his soil it xvoul seem unnecessary to call attention to the matter. But in looking after tho cultivation of the crops upon which we depend for money and supplies we are too apt to lose sight of the significance June, above all other months, is the month for sowing this crop, and ns al luded to it can bo planted in mnnv places whero clover would not grow. The crop can follow n crop of grtiin and invigorate tho land and largely replace tlie plant food that has been removed. In planting in corn it is best to use r i early hush variety, in order not to in jure tho corn. If the land is very ric' the peas can be broad cast, hut we would not advise this. ’<■ T. 7 £ X 2 e ~ Sto s 05; Js; r i-il 'i- (John- Condition compared to an average of 11 years.

One source of annoyance to tho far mer and of much suffering to the horses worked iu the spring and summer plow ing are tlio collar and harness galls Theso wounds or abrasions are very common during tho spring plowing particularly with horses used in break ing new ground, or from ill-fitting col lars or harness at any time of the year. In the spring of the year, when the horse has been unused to steady work for some months, the skin is tender and easily injured. Tho horse, from being wintered on a scanty allowance of grain, is soft, sweats easily, and if the collar and shoulders are not properly attended to, chafing of the skin is al most sure to follow. The harness should he repaired, cleaned and oiled before tlie spring plowing begins. Dur ing tlie springtime tho collar in particu lar should be thoroughly cleansed after every day’s use. A good preventive against collar and harness galls, especially the former, is to bathe well, at the oloso of tho day’s work, tlio shoulders and other parts of j tho horse-ruobing or working against tlio harness, in a strong solution of cold Water and common salt.

A choice tomato plant, per haps of a new vnrioty, a lmlf dozen young cabbages, two or three young squashes near together, are found lying prostrate iu tho morning, when they were upright and healthy the evening beforo. It is easy to Bee tlint their stenib hnvp been cut off near tlie sur face of tho ground during tho night, hut no other signs of tho depredator are visible. Sometimes by poking the earth away from tlie roots of tlio plants one cun find a dirty brown worm. This is tho cut worm, tlie author of the mis chief. There are u great many different spe cies of these cut worms, aud they ut- tack a great variety of field ami garden crops. They nro ull young or lame of medium sized night-flying moths. These moths deposit their eggs generally on the twigs or branches of trees or shrubs, nnd the larvae, which soon hatch from the eggs, descend to the ground, whore they feed upon grass or clover. Tlu-y become about half grown by the tin. 1 winter suts in. Then they shqltLr •’auus’uioj pass' 1110 winter, anil 111 spring come out of their hiding places in a very famished condition. They begin feeding as k kui as possible, nnd attack a grout variety of plants, such ns cabbages, tomatoes, turnips, squashes, melons, corn, oats, and others. Iu the garden they commonly gnaw off the stems and leave tho plants lying on til' ground, though occasionally they ei the whole plant. Late in tlio spring or early in summer, they become tiul grown ns worms. Then they make themselves hollow cells in the soil and change to tho pupa or chrysalis state. Two or three weeks later they again change, this time coming fortli as adult moths. I11 somo specios there aro two broods each season, und in others there is hut ono. Like all other injurious insects, cut worms flue' late greatly in numbers from year to year. Some seasons they are very destructive, while at other times their injuries may attract no at tention. This is doubtless due to the various enemies cut worms have to con tend with. They uro preyed upon by birds, toads, frogs, and predacious bee tles. They -• -e attainted by many kinds of parasites, and arc subject to certain contagious diseases. All tlies'i agencies help greatly o keep the pests in check. ARTIFICIAL REMEDIES. I have recently summarized three most iinpor ant methods of artificially checking cut worm damage as follows : ]. Tlie poison method. This consists in killing off the worms beforo tlie crops nre planted, by strewing over tho soil bunches of fresli clover 01 cabbage leaves, which liuvo been tieated with Paris green or London Purple, either by dipping into a solution of poison, or dusting it on dry. Tho half grown worms prowling about in search of food, eat of tho baits thus set and aro de stroyed before doing any harm. This method has proved a practical succes • with many gardeners, aud is well worth trying, whero there is likely to be trouble from those parts. Of course care must ho taken that chickens or stock do not get at tho poisoned leaves 2. Using boards as traps. This method consists in placing hoards on tlie ground in and about tho garden, nnd collecting in the morning the worms that will congregate beneath them dur ing tlio night. 3. Digging out the worms where plants have been cut off. This is prac ticable in most gardens and is well worth doing, thus preventing further damage. Fall plowing is also a valuable gen eral measure, because it exposes the worms to, enemies and tho weather, Burning up rubbish and burning over waste grassland also kills somo.

Tho clover crop, in all well-arranged systems of farming, occupies a promi nent place. The clover crop is well adapted to follow any other crop, and is a good preparation of the soil for any other crop. The nil-important problem which confronts tho farmer everywhere is how to maintain and increase tho fertility of his soil, and the clover plunt is an indispensable aid. Tho farmer who makes the most free and continu ous use of clover will maintain his farm at tho highest point of productiveness at .the least expense. Tbo clover plant, when cured for hay ii a most valuable food, rich in intro genous elements, and is much more va. liable food feeding than other kinds of hay. HOW CLOVER GATHERS NITROGEN.
