Commissioner Janes’ Crop
IvEPORTF O R J U L Y.
Department of Agriculture, /
Atlanta, Ga. , Aug S, 1877. \
There lias boon no change in the con
dition and piospect of corn in ortli
(Jeoriia—the average being the same as
reported first of July—loß. All the
counties of this section report a high
average prospect, excepting Floyd, 90,
Forsyth, 90, Folk, 83, aud Union, 90.
The seasons have been almost uniformly
good. A considerable surplus yield is
indicated, which will g far towards
making up the deficiency in other sec
tions of the'State.
In Middle Georgia tlun’e is a falling
off of lu per cent, in the prospect since
Ist July, being 89 against 99 one month
ago. This is owing to drouth—which
was particularly severe iu Hancock,
McDuffie, Newton, Taliaferro anil War
ren, the overage prospect in these coun
ties being only 71 per cent, of an average
crop.
The injury to the corn crop Ims been
still greater in South West Georgia—the
failing oft' in one month amounting to ‘2l
per cent.—noticeable in Bibb, Clay,
Dougherty, Karly. Quitman, Randolph,
Terrell, and Webster, in which counties
the prospect ranges from 40 to GO per
cent.—averaging 58. The average for
the entire section is only 72, against 93,
on Ist July. One half of tho counties
average less than 75.
In East Georgia, the prospect is 88,
against 96, Ist July. The most marked
decrea. e ia observed in the counties of
Dodge, Telfair, Twiggs, Washington aim
.Wilkinson, which show an average pros-
pect of only 72.
In South Eu-'d; Georgia, there iB an
improvement of <uo per cent. The aver
bftt as jt embraces but a com
plratively smallyrTTof the State, does
not materially 4fftcct the general average,
which is estimated at 89.8 per cent.—a
reduction of 8.2 pvr cent, from the pros
pect on Ist July,
On the whole—whilst the prospect is
not very gratifying—it is not discourag
ing. There is ample time and abundant
resources to provide against any undue
scarcity of corn, which might otherwise
exist next sea on. See under head of
oats, etc.
COTTON,
There has been a steady failing in the
prospect throughout the mouth in Mid
dle, Houth went and East Georgia and an
improvement of 5 per cent, in North,
and i per cent, in South-East Georgia.
Hast is re ported in Early county, and
caterpillars in several counties.
The average prospect for the State—
by sections—is 80.0, against 89 on Ist
July, showing a reduction of 2.4 per
cent.; but it must be borne in mind that
.Middle and South West Georgia are the
largest and chief cotton producing sec
tions of th - State, and it appears that
the prospect in each of tlie.se is only 80
—a meau reduction of 8 per cent, from
Ist July.
The opinion was expressed in the June
Report, that it was “highly improbable
that an axorage crop of cotton will be
produced this year in Georgia.” That
opinion has been confirmed by the re
ports herein presented, and, as the
drought still prevails, and the close ol
the growing and fruiting season is near
at baud—the indications are very strong
that not more than three fourths of a
crop wil be made.
MISOELLAKEOrS CHOPS.
Sugar cane, sorghum, field peas, and
sweet potatoes, have ail shared, more or
less, iu tl e injury from the drouth. Itice
is slightly improved m prospect,
WHEAT HAIJVKHT.
An effort was made iu the question, on
which tins report is baj>cd, to aset rtaiu,
approximately, the yield of wheat—but
with only partial success. The yield of
Murray county was 41,500 bushels;
Banks, 42,000. Twenty-three counties
iu Middle Georgia report an aggregate
of 858,501 bushels; teu counties in South
West Georgia, 54,720, and five counties
in Kant Georgia, 20,587 bushels.
HYRCr MAKING.
Iu answer to the question. “What
variety of sorghum is best—all things
considered—for syrup?” the preference
is generally given to the variety known
by the various local names—Golden,
Golden Top, Golden Bod, etc., and the*
Imphee. Query—are these all identical?
For crushing the canes, the Victor Mill
seems to bo most generally prefered
where it has been tried. The same is
true of the Cook, and the Scantling
Evaporators. These comparisons ap
pear, however, to have been made only
with the old style appliances.
Tiie cane should be harvested about
the time when the seed are parsing from
tiie dough state, whilst still soft enough
to be divided easily with the thumb nail,
and stripped and at several days before
grinding. In the South West portion of
the State, where the Southern or Bib
bon cane is almost exclusively grown,
the improved Georgia, two roller mill is
generally used for grinding, and com
mon iron kettles for reducing the juice.
Where the improved machinery has been I
used, it has, generally, been prefered— I
especially the evaporators.
McDUFFIE WEEKLY FfUENAL. .August 29, 1877.
The use ®f the Saecharometer, to de
termine the moment when the syrup is
sufficiently reduced, greatly facilitates
making uniformly good syrup. They
cost but little—sl,so each, by the dozen.
FALL CROPS—TURNIPS
In view of the partial failure of the
corn crop in a large portion of the State
as well as the intrinsic value of turnips,
they should be largely sown ou well pre
pared land, highly fertilized with a good
ammoniated superphosphate. They are
nob to be relied on as a fattening food,
but when fed to milch cows, they in
crease largely the flow of milk, and as a
hog food they furnish considerable nutri
ment, and iu connection with more con-
I densed food aid largely in inducing a
good appetite aud healthy digestion.
IRISH POTATOES.
For a fall crop these may now be .
planted in Middle aud Southern Georgia, j
If the soil is well prepared, and the |
tubers planted without cutting, not loss
than six iuehes deep—with good seasons
a tine yield may be secured, especially,
if they are well mulched. These will
keep much better during winter, tliau
the summer crop. Extreme Northern
Georgia, can and ought to supply the
whole State with whiter potatoes.
oats.
This important cereal, lias occupied a
large space in the publications of the
1 Department, since its establishment, and
j it is highly gratifying to note the greatly
increased area, annually devoted to it.
The crop just harvested was not a full
one—chiefly owing to the late sowing of
the fall crop and the unprecedented cold
of the past winter ; but the result has
not been at all discouraging. The rust
proof oat which has become so popular,
is not strictly a winter oat, proof against
wiutov killing, but is practically so if
sown early in the fall. TANARUS! e Winter
killing, is strictly a winter oat, but not
I rustproof.
Sowings should commence iu North
Georgia the latter part of August, and
later the further South, and extending
through September and October. Far
mers are again urged to sow a large crop
of oats. If the same conditions be com
plied with iu both crops, oats are much
more reliable than coru ; with the exer
cise of the stun • judgement as to the time
of sowing outs, as to planting corn—not
consulting mere convenience, as was
once the universal practice—the same
in selecting approved seed, aud in pi e
paring and manuring and sowing, the
oat crop will more uniformly succeed
than will the corn.
What would be said of the farmer,
who should plant his corn crop any time
between Ist March, and t.lie Ist of June,
as mere convenience and other demands
upon his time might determine? And
yet such a system or want of system, has
prevailed in regard to sowing oats for
many years ; and very often the sowing
has been postponed to November or
December or to March—and indeed,
often entirely neglected.

If possible procure seed from a reliable

is next. Color or size of the grain are
minor considerations, lied wheats are

and generally escapes rust by reason of
earliness and general hardiness. The

variety.

on account of its exceedingly long rough

IIOG CHOP,
Hogs intended for killing' next winter
should be pushed forward by liberal
pasturage and feeding, so ns to induce
i rapid growth and high condition before
| cold weather. They fatten much more
j easily in the fall than winter. The first
cold spell in November should find them
ready for butchering. Send for a copy
of the Manual on tire Hog, published by
this department.

Much may be doue in the way of re
| diicing the heavy and continuous drafts
! on the coin frib aud the forage house.
Tbo grass which springs up with the
August aud September rains, in the
corn-field, and which grows so luxuriant
ly in the swamps, and on ‘he borders of
the small streams, may bo easily made
to yield many tons of excellent forage
It should be a rule with farmers, to*
postpone the regular draft on the stored
corn and forage to feed work animals, as
long os possible—using for this purpose,
pasturage, cut gross, corn tops, pea
vines, etc,, so long as they can be had.
It will astonish any one who has never
before tried it, to realize the great saving
which may be accomplished in this way.
It is now the season for sowing rye
and barley for winter grazing and for
green feeding in the spring. Rye may
be sown on small, very rich, lota, at the
rate of two bushels of seed per acre. It
will furnish grazing during the winter,
and an immense amount of green forage
from early in March until May.
