FOB SALE BY ***.■'•*’ Department of Agriculture, Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 1, 1893. Cotton picking is now the all-absorb- t»ig work, blit there are other duties be longing to this season, which, if a differ ent system wero adopted, would bo con sidered as important and command an equal share of attention. On most Geor gia farms this duty of saving the cotton tnkes precedence of and overshadows every other because of tho large nrea de voted to this crop; because it is regarded as tho only money crop of tho south; be cause tho farmer must hurry to get out enough to meet his obligations, now ma turing, and because, if left standing in the fields beyond a certain period, it sus tains irreparable injury from wind and weather. It is not, therefore, to he won dered at that other duties must lio in abeyance; that tho fall preparation and fall crops are generally neglected, and also that much cotton is forced on tho market which could otherwise quietly await favorable prices. LET US CONSIDER this question. Suppose every Georgia farmer had, in tho past, made it n part of his farm economy to sow largely in tho fall of oats, rye nnd barley, with enough wheat, whore it can he raised, for home consumption; had, each spring, put in full crops of corn, peas, sorghum, potatoes, ground peas, and by this policy and by concentration in work and fertili zation, had not only roduced the area, hut nlso the cost of cotton production! Wo would now witness, in one stuto at least, agricultural independence. For, although tho unequal pressure of our national legislation might fall most heavily on tho business of the farmer ho could hear up against tho unjust load, and while other men nnd other avoca tions might he swept away in the gen eral destruction, lit-, being grounded on the rock of home supplies, could weather the storm and emerge, if not unbanned, at least with life and limb and strength to 1 >ogin the stmggle anew. Becuuso I am more and more im pressed with the importance of this mo mentous question I would ugnin urge its careful study. No ono knows better than I the difficulties in tho way of changing a cotton farm into one of di versified crops. No one more fully un derstands the feeling of uncertainty with which a man embarks into a new and untried system after following its oppo site all his life. To one who has been accustomed to selling a hundred hales it seems like starvation to ho reducod to a half or a fourth of that amount, and yet, paradoxical as it may scorn, the smaller amount may ho made to represent more actual cash than the larger. But this much-to-be-desired result cannot lie reached by the old haphazard methods. Careful study must ho given not only to tho plants, their habits and needs, hut to soils and soil conditions; to fertilizers and their properties; to their elements available and suited to tho lands and the crops under cultivation; to the system of plowing, which will best bring to tho surface the elements existing even in our joorest lands; nnd last, hut not least, the >est nnd cheapest plan of restoring fer tility to lands worn by years and yoars of successive cotton and coni culture. In the history of our agricultural country there liavo been three periods: First, tho strictly pastoral stage, with only a sufficient area under cultivation to afford bread, tho inhabitants depend ing on flocks and herds for sources of supply. As the population increased and a more urgent necessity arose for larger bread supplies tho forests were felled, and, the lands being fresh and filled with humus, a moderate applica tion of energy caused tho yields from all crops to he ahund&nt. Tho hams were filled, cotton was king, the farmers wore independent, and contentment marked the second era. But population has wonderfully increased, cultivated lands, after a long series of years in which everything lias been done to deplete, nothing to build up, have at last re belled, and we find ourselves struggling against tho third and perhaps most diffi cult era, in which our lands do not respond as formerly, and we are com pelled, if we would realize remunerative returns, to resort to some system of renovation and rotation. Even in the § rain growing middle and eastern states re lands show such a marked decline that tho farmers have been compelled to substitute other crops and turn their at tention to more careful systems of rota tion nnd cultivation. In many instances tho fanners, becoming discohraged, have emigrated to the newer and more fertile western lands, where they again subdue the forests or bring under cultivation the rolling prairies. In our own section, comparatively new, there nro thousands of acres once covered with magnificent forest growth, which from our prodigal use of their resources, and our want of care in preserving them against destruc tion, are practically abandoned, the gul lies widening and growing deeper with every shower, and nearly every atom of available plant food either leached out by winter rains or burnt out by our long summer suns. These hare lands are “wasting lands.” It has been proven in England by careful experiment that even a poor soil "without vegetation loses annually by drainage nitrates equivalent to 224 pounds per acre of so dium nitrate.” The naked land itself, left hare, wastes by natural drainage that amount of this fertilizer per acre. What a powerful argument in favor of covering these lands with some crop, peas, clover, rye, that will arrest this waste, make some return for the labor and at the same time accumulate a sup ply of nitrogen for future crops. If you are unable to do thts at least furnish pasture for stock 1 am aware this UPBUILDING is slow and tedious work, and that wo can only work on a limited nrea each year, hut tho era of exhaustion is upon us and wo must meet it successfully or go !) tho wall. A liegiuning has already been made. On many farms the fields of cow peas, that hopo of Georgia farm ers, are now ready for the reapor nnd attest the effort that is being made to ro- turn to the soil some of the fertility that, wo have bo ruthlessly destroyed. But wo must broaden tho foundation, and tliero is much work that can be done on a southern fnrin at this season, not so should first select soil as near ns possible adapted to tho plant. Select rich, well draiuod moist land, though if unable to obtain t*j this by a liberal uso of ninuure BY THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT you will ho able to secure good crops, PREPARATION. Thorough preparation is essential to a numerative crop.

The following interesting matter should havo appeared in our last report, but was omitted on account of tho unusual amount of matter before us: FOR THE APPLE.

Kye nnd barley can ho sown much later, and, wherever possible, heavy seodings of theso should be put in. These green crops not only contribute a largo quota to tho food supply for man and lienst, hut feed the land also nnd put it in let ter condition for the coming summer’s crops. Tho hulk of tho WHEAT crop will he sown in the next few weeks. As I havo udvisod lieforo, oven in those sections where wheat is not a paying money crop, each farmer should sow enough to supply his family, and this, with tho improvement to his land, will reconcile him to the work. The follow ing on wheat, which I quote from a valued exchange, so clearly and forcibly treats of this subject thut I feel it can not lie improved upon: - "What fanners need to learn in wheat growing districts is tho groat value of a regular rotation in which a leguminous crop immediately precedes tho wheat. Instead of putting wheat in roughly on corn ground with a sprinkling of fertil izer to make a crop and leave tho land worse off, how much lietter it would bo to sow the annual winter-growing crim son clover, with the same amount of fer tilizer, among tho corn in August or September; let it ho pastured whenever fit to be trodden in winter, and in May plow it under and sow the land in cow peas broadcast. The result would he a trig crop of pea vine hay for stock and manure making, and a preparation for a wheat crop far more certain than the notoriously uncertain corn-ground wheat. And if you find it difficult to cure the pea vines as hay. run them through tho cutter when in full pod, and make tho best ensilage that can be made for cows. With plenty of ensilage, clover hay and wheat straw, and plenty of good stock to eat them, tho road to big wheat crops, rich land ami indepen dence is ojicn, and a farm enriched will always enrich the farmer as fast as a run-down farm will run him down.” Another suhjoct very little understood and therefore very little practiced at tho south is FALL PLOWING. It is contended by many southern ag riculturists that the advantages to ho gained by deep plowing of land are not for our section. Their idea is that as wo do not have the heavy freezes of more northern latitudes, which wero to disin tegrate the land, tho benefits to us are not commensurate with the labor, and that from the packing heavy winter rains much of our work has to be gone over in tho spring. This is, in a meas ure, true, and if this disintegration were tho only advantage their position would he well taken. But there aro other and equally strong reasons for deep fall plow ing, more especially on our stiff red lands, which Hre only in rare instances thoroughly worked. Among theso rea- _ sons in favor of deep fall plowing are j the following: The loosening, turning and ai ration of tho subsoil; the preven tion of washing; the storing of moisture from tho winter rains, which, fnlling on unplowed land, pass off, carrying with them much of the top soil; tho bringing to the surface of the mineral elements, which are stored in sufficient quantities in all our lands, and for which, in the form of commercial phosphates and pot ash, we each year pay out large sums. These locked up stores, to become avail able, must lie brought to tho surface and there combined with vegetable mat ter and fall under the direct action of the rains, the frosts and the atmosphere. By this deep fall plowing wo open the door through which nature yields up these treasures. Jeff Wilbora, high au thority in such matters, says that by deep plowing of red clay lands as early as possible in fall and winter and then cultivating in peas, to supply the neces sary nitrogen, heavy crops can ho made anil tlio land improved each year. He has "proved his faith by Iris works” and certainly his eminent success should en courage others to try tho same plan, be ing assured that it is not an empty theory. Let me urge this plan upon the atten tion of our farmers. Let eacli one try a small area os an experiment, doing tho work thoroughly, and, having oncosatis fied himself as to its utility and practi cality, lot him appropriate tho minerals dormant in his soil and thus avoid theso heavy obligations for fertilizers, which are now hastening his cotton on tho mar ket. I do not mean that he can dis pense altogether with the use of com mercial fertilizers, for in conjunction with green crops they are an important adjunct in this work of renovation, but I do say that tho man who is able to do this fall plowing, following it with le guminous crops, will attain to surpris ing results and at far less cost. CUT THE GRASS which all over the state now covers the corn fields and which, where peas were thinly sown, has sprung up, offering the farmer a beautiful crop of the very best hay, far superior to that imported from other states. We not only need it on our farms, hut there is a ready market in the towns for a good article, well curod. Tho fanner who allows this to waste may yet havo to buy tho imported article with some of his hard-earned and not too abundant cotton money. R. T. Nesbitt, Com Raw eggs are good to cure scours in young stock. Ono egg makes a good dose. Give plain or in boiled milk. Give fattening cattle as much as they will eat, and often—five times a day. Never give rapid changes of food, hut change often. A good guide for a safe quantity of grain per day to maturing cattle is one pound to every hundred of their own weight. Tlius an animal weighing 1,000 may receive 10 pounds gallons water. For destruction of the tent caterpillar, canker worm and bud inoth, use tho Borileax mixture, one-lialf strength with Paris green, ono pound to 150 gallons just before the blossoms unfold, and for tho same and tho codling moth as soon as tho petals havo fallon. Make a third application of the Bor deaux mixturo and Paris green in about two weeks from the timo tho petals fall, should thoro have been heavy rains since tho last application, then uso tho nnnno- niacal carbonate of copper one pound to 50 gallons of water at intervals of from two to four weeks, according to the weaUjar, until tho middle of August. We would recommend the trial of sul phate of copper, ono pound to 500 and 800 gallons of water after tho middle of Juno. Should no rain occur after tho uso of any fungicide or insecticide, no further application need be made until it does rain; but if the interval lias been long, spraying should immediately fol low a heavy rain. FOR THE BEAR. For tho pear scab leaf blight, and sucking of the fruit and coddling moth, tho same treatment should he given as for the apple, except that no Paris green need l>e used until after the petals have fallon, nnd only two applications of that need he made, If the penr tree psylla should appear, spray the trees thoroughly with kerosene emulsion, one part to twenty parts water. FOR THE PLUM. We would advise the same treatment as given to the apple and pear, for the plum leuf blight, black wurt and the fruit rot. For the plum curculio use the Bordeaux mixture, ono-half strength, with Paris green one pound to 200 gal lons. Ono application of pie ammoni- acal carbonate of copper should be made aftor the middle of August, to prevent tho rotting of the fruit and tho leaf blight. FOR THE PEACH. To destroy the plum curculio, spray with the Bordeaux mixture, one-fourth strength, nnd Paris green ono pound to 200 gallons. For the fruit rot, spray with tho ammouiacal carbonate of cop per, one pound to 60 gullons of water. Try the sulphate of copper, one pound to 100 gullons of water for tho fruit rot. FOR THE GRAPE. Spray with the concentrated solution of sulphate of copper every part of tho vines and trellis before tho buds unfold. Just before the blossom buds unfold, spray with the Bordeaux mixture, one- half strength, with Paris green, oi.j pound to 100 gullons. As soon as the potals have fallen, spray again with the same; then at intervals of about two weeks use the ammoniacal carhonato of copper, ono pound to 25 gallons. Try the sulphate of copper, one pound to 500 and 700 gallons of water at the same in tervals. FOn RASPBERRY AND BLACKBERRY. For tho anthracnose of tho blackcaps and the yellow rust of the blackberry, uso the concentrated solution of sulphate of copper heforo the buds open. Then spray with the Bordeaux mixture one- half strength, or tho ammoniacal car bonate of copper before the blossom buds unfold, and two or three times after the fruit has been gathered, at intervals of two or three weeks. The first disease attacks tho canes principally, and more attention in spraying should bo given to them than to the leaves. FOR THE STRAWBERRY. Spray with the Bordeaux mixture, one-half strength and Paris green one pound to 100 gallons for the leaf blight and the "spotted paria,” as soon us growth begins in the spring. Just be fore tho blossoms open use the Bordeaux mixture same strength, hut no Paris green. After tho fruit has been gath ered Paris green and tho Bordeaux mixt ure should ho used if the bed or fiold is to be carried through another season. FOR THE POTATO. As soon as the larvie of the potato hoetle begin to appear, spray with the Bordeaux mixture, one-lialf strenght, and Paris green one pound to 100 gal lons. Use the same mixturo as often as they appear in sufficient numbers to he injurious. If tho weather be warm and moist, applications should he made at intervals of from ono to three weeks after the vines have blossomed, of the Bordeaux mixture, one-half strength or the ammoniacal carbonate of copper, one pound to 50 gallons of water, even if thero are no larva) present. The sul phate of copper one pound to 600 gal lons should also he tried on a small scale to test its value. STRAWBERRIES. Will you please tell me how to make • strawberry bed ? H. L. I., Marietta, Ga. In malting a strawberry hod you Nervous Prostration] with potash, salts and cottonseed meal or crushed cottonseed nro highly recom mended. Bonednst mixturo with wood ashes or muriate of potash instead, should Ih) usod at the rate of at least one-half ton of the former and 80 to 40 bushels of the ashes, or 250 pounds of muriate of potash instead. A good fer tilizer which hu8 given excollont results at tho stgjion, may he mixed at home by using at the rato per ocro of 1,000 pounds add phosphate, 250 pounds muriate of potash and 500 pounds of cotton seed meal, this might bo supplemented early in spring with top dressing of 200 pounds of muriate of Boda per acre. “In our experiments we have gener ally attained better rosults from chemi cal fertilizers than from stable manure, Tho latter is too stimulating nnd heat ing in its character, producing a rank growth of leavos and runners at the ex pense of the fruit, whilo in cose of drouth the plant will suffer and often (lie. Strawberries require a cool, moist soil; therefore, any heating manures must be avoided. The fertilizer experi ment at the station tho last season point in the samo direction, highly ammo- mated fertilizers produco increase foli age and runners, but when tho fruiting soason began we were disappointed in the promise. We also have observed that we obtain finer, firmer, more highly colored nnd bettor flavored berries from a fertilizer containing a smaller percent age of nitrogenous matter. We can safely conclude that it is within our ability, to a certain extent, to force the growth of our plants in a certain direction by using tho proper fertilizer materials. But we .must im press the cultivator again with the neooHsity of supplying a very liberal amount of plant food if a large crop and largo berries is to he the result of our endeavors. The expense of lulior in cul tivating plants, etc., is the same on a highly us a poorly cultivated soil, and as cultivation is the only source of expense after tho bed is established, our failure or success hinges on a liberal supply of plant food. MULTCHING. "The object of multching is some what different in colder countries than in our latitude. There the plants aro thus protected from severe freezing and repeated thawing in winter. In our lat itude wo multch to protect our plants from tho injurious effect of tho hot sun, and to keop tho ground moist.” METHOD OF PLANTING. In regard to planting thero are two methods—tho hill and matted row sys tem: For the best results, we aviso the former system, which occasions larger results aro obtained from tho lat ter. nevertheless more perfect fruit and plants are developed under tho former, and the crop is more assured. Plant 12 to 15 inches apart in rows three feet, and provent spreading by keeping the runners down. This article is necessarily limited, and those who desire to engago in strawberry culture as an industry wo would advise the purchase of a good work on the sub ject.

We have a small fly in this county which worries the cattle very much. Can you give me a remedy for them ? H. I. T. In the October report of ’92 and the July report of this year you will find a description of this fly, which is tho horn fly, also remedies. The following from the Breeders’ Gazette contains further information on the subject: They worry cattle until they become thin and weak and take special delight in massing by thousands and thousands all over the entire body of weak and de fenseless animals, as these animals bo- come powerless to oppose them. And in another way they will (or may) cause the death of thousands of stock. It is in this way : They eat or suck blood about in spots on cattle—on the neck, dewlap, hack of the shoulder blades and under the belly of tho animals. The spots when first discernible have a dry appear ance of the cuticle, with the hair eaten off short and stubby close to the skin, as if burned off. These spots may he about the size of a nickel or as large as a dol lar, hut more oftener of the smaller or intermediate size. The cuticle is next- eaten or dissolved away, and a raw, bloody sore results, which the pest con tinues to molest.” One breeder has applied the following mixture to the pests, and finds it knocks them every time: "Take kerosone, spirits of turpentine, sulphur and crysalic ointment and mix them well and rub or sprinkle it on the cows. I used it four weeks ago, and the flies have not bothered tho cows since.” Yet another farmer has sprayed upon [Conoludsd on 4th Page] $80.
