Tho Exeeutivo Committee of tho
Georgia State Agricultural Society,
in presenting their wimi-unnual r<
port, would make a few practical re
flections to thin body, and through it
to the poople of Georgia, hearing
upon our interests anil condition as
an agricultural elans. In 11 10 outset
of the observations wo shall make,
candor compels us to say that the
Ultimo is an oppressive one. The
subject is one of vast proportions, and '
at best, under the most propitious
circumstances, would tax tlm best in
tellect and widest experience of the
country to the utmost.
But troubles and complications, al
most unexampled in our history as a
people, are now suporadded to t he in
trinsic difficulties of the situation, and
we assemble to-day as a body of pa
triots and agriculturalists, envii nod
with problems of large and grave im .
port. Seldom before in the history ;
of mankind, whore a people have not |
been scourged by famine, pestilenc
or a very recent war, lias the anoma
lous and painful state of things exist
ed which marks the condition to-day |
of a large portion of the people of j
< leorgia.
Can anything bo more genial than \
our climate, more benignant than our
seasons, more bountiful tlinn our soil, |
or more valuable and sustaining than ;
our staples? And yet what is the
actual condition of our people? \Y<
do not now allude to the nun-produ
cer* of the State; ma are we now ob-1
jecting t<> the importation of such im
mense bulk of supplies of all sorts
furnished these non-producers, by
producers beyond our limits, which it
should bo the exclusive) province of
Georgia farmers to supply ; but we
arc filled with apprehension and hu
miliation when we confess the alarm
ing fact that the men in Georgia who
profess to get their living by planting
and farming are not making ' their
own bread. "This is not simply a fact
for the statistical), it is not a matter
for ingenious disquisition or pits asm it
debate, but it should strike terror into
our hearts, as should the sound of the
■'fire bell at midnight." Xo wonder
credit is lost, business paralyzed, en
terprise suppressed, capital frighten
ed away, and immigration warned
from our borders, 'i bis i,s the specta
cle wo present. An agricultural peo
ple “begging bread!
Alas! that wo should ever have seen
the day?
How plain a talc, shall relmko us !
The public intelligence lias not com
mitted—could not possibly have com
mitted-any such blunder. Must we
confess the fact to each other ? We
had as well, and here in this presence
of the assembled representatives of
tho agriculture of Georgia, plead
guilty to the charge involving cen
sure," as well upon our moral as upon
our common sense.
. , The tillers of the soil of our Stete
—the intelligent constituency here
represented did not, m < l to be told ,
that frri agricultural community could
possibly exist in which farmers did
not produce their own supply. Xo :
the fact wo fear must be confessed,
tlyrfc, while each man professed to be
lieve this fundamental truth, each man
hoped his brother farmer and neigh
bor wtmld be so far convinced of its
light, and leave him to profit by the
opposite policy of a large cotton crop
and tho enhancement of the price!
which every other farmer’s full sup-;
jalv of provisions would insure, lie
hold the result! No surplus ef meat
and.broad for sale to non-producers
in our midst- none for the stranger
nt our gates. Xo, not enough or near
onougli for our own household.
The oft repeated lessons of experi- 1
once having again been disregarded- -
the hazardous policy pursued; and
these are among the leading causes of
the present distress. \\ o refused the
paths of known safety.
Let us pause here and resolve oil ef
fectual, saving reform. It is in vain
that these pleasant semi-nuvvuii re-1
unions are held, and the prolific brains
of our leaders in agricultural science
and practice teem with suggestions!
and lessons. In vain may the public. •
,spirit of the State bestow its subsidies
if such a short-sighted policy and such
irrational uutliriftir.rss are long'-r to!
neutralize and undo all that better
counsels may dm a
We ask your indulge nee while we
expand this topic by a few homely
and practical roHeetious.
First, wo assume,, that with an 1
abundance of tlm in cries of life,
ojeh and ©very family iu the, Si ale is
placed beyond pliy. leal suffering from
want, and can, from its slate of inde
pendence, calmly and patiently pro
vide from an improved domestic and
rural economy; for we hold that no
man perplexed with debt, much more
the man discouraged by narrow
means of subsistence, can give such
calm, collected and hopeful energy to
his business as will promise large re
sults. How surely, and may wo not
say how easily? can each iarniers
family in the State place itself bev-m !
the danger of trouble and embarrass
ment from supplies.
Given a family of .ton persons living
upon their own land which supplies
.fuel without cost: AS u assume Unit
one hundred and thirty bushels of
meal, twelve barrels of flour, one hun
dred bushels of sv,v et, potatoes, seveu
tv-five bushels of Irish potatoes, ore
thousand pounds of pork, the milk
and butter from two cows, the profits
from thirty hens, tho honey from five
hives, the fruit from a very limited
number of fruit trees, with such a
supply of garden vegetables as threr
fsiurths of an acre would produce, will
a family in comfort and abun
‘’dance* Sr; acres in corn, half an
acre each in sweet and Irish potatoes,
three aares in wheat, five hogs' and
two acres in clover, or one in millet or
drilled corn, will *. cun gnv.l c
thing as a liberal supply of provisions
I for a family of ten persons for a
twelvemonth. Twelve acres would bo
enough, and more than enough, to
produce these supplies.
This is far less than the task of one
I hand for a year’s work only seven
j acres in actually cultivated crops.
After providing for the food of a horse
used in the crop, by four acres of corn
ami two of outs, one laboring man
could still cultivate cotton enough for
; the remaining actual wants of a fam
ily already supplied with abundant
and wholesome food.
Let no one disdain this humble cx
! liibifc of t.ls) capabilities of our soil, or
this homely reviw of the vital possi
bilities of every film house in Geor
gia. Goukl our voice bo heal'd this
day, and heeded throughout the limits
! of this dear old State, and the policy
; here .indicated he reduced to practi
cal effect, joy, which springs from
plenty, would soon take the place of
| that dejection with which penury and
, restriction have overshadowed so
: many faces in our midst.
In ono season (unless to those al
■ ready imprudently involved in debt),
Ipk uty would smile upon his lionrtli
stone.
but there is a class who must wait
[longer, and practice yet moro econo-
I mies. Tliev must atone for the past
before the future shall find them free
men ; for the debtor is ever servant to
the lender, call the relationship what
wo may.
Tho direct and immediate result of
universal abundance would bo in
dependence—real freedom of action
and thought—freedom from the re
straints of a self assured bondage
which honor forbids men to shake off,
except by meeting all its exactions.
The farmer, in this attitude, can afford
! to wait.
A cognat. cause of our trouble has
j been the credit'system at high rates
:of interest. This stupendous source
!of trouble is closely connected with
the farmer ; for, be it observed, that
: the borrowing of money is almostox
! clusively for the purpose of the ovor
| production of cotton. It is the effort
to stretch out after more cotton than
we have the actual means of produc
j mg, by borrowing from abroad—-bor
rowing fertile future— runing reck
less risks, and playing the prodigal.
I Seldom is a loan effected or needed
! for making provisions, and if made
for this purpose, it is small, propor-
I tioned to the means of the borrower,
and made by a man pretty sure to pay
soon. But to make more cotton,
I men incur debt; and to pay debts,
they must make more cotton ; and
these two tilings act and re-act till we
i see no end.
This leads to a yet more radical
view of the true policy of tho farmers
l of (leorgia and the South. Labor is
at the foundation of production, and
this labor (for maximum results)
must needs be well directed.
But the primary thing is labor.
Only in response to this does the earth
l yield her increase : “By the sweat of
| the brow," is as true now as ever. A
! great, writer says : “In the sweat of
the brow, but not in the breaking of
thine heart, is it written, thou slialt
j eat bread." Yet the Southern people
are eating it in both, and bought bread
is seldom eaten otherwise.
, The disposition to avoid work is
(-manifested iu the present day in va
; rious restless ways. The gambling
1 system, which seems to run now into
all things, and to have found new
j channels, is merely one of the results
!of a desire to substitute' chance and
luck for steady industry. Men desire
; to avoid the payment of an equivalent
! for what they receive ; to reap the
; fruits of industry vvitout being subject
'to its toils. From this spirit the ag
| ricultural classes were formerly, in a
! great measure, free ; but it lias now
invaded them, and fanning even lias
' become a speculative business, and
the production of cotton at others,
risks as largely engaged in as the
purchase and sale of “futures.” A
narrow margin suffices, and so far
mers, instead of being independent
producers on a sound basis, become
speculators, risking annual ruin.
Not every farmer who does this
sees distinctly what he is doing; but
this is the. upSiio't of the system pur
sue; 1 ..
A word to those already iu debt.
Let all your policy be to get out; and
when mice out to keep out.
Comply with every existing obli
gation first, then make no new ones
which you have no clear sure means of
meeting.
But how to get out? Debt! Debt!
This is the overwhelming evil of large
sections of the State, and large num
bers of planters. There is no royal
road out. The credit system is the
l royal road in, but the tracks all point
'one way—in. The way out, is work
and economy. Let the fruits of work
I go toward the payment of debt; nor
run into move expenditure for enjoy
; merit. Make all you can, and con
sume as little as you can; homely,hon
est advice. Live plainly. The estab
lishments of most men are too big for
j them—their scale too big. The war
left people with great establishments
and small resources. The family eoacli
; was left, but not the horses. H'e are,
| as a people, like a man after a typhoid
, fever, shrunk too little for his clothes,
i To try to fill them, we puff ourselves
with the credit system.
Will the farmers of (leorgia think of
j the suggestion? Their actual income
I should furnish them with the scale of
! their expenses. The income should
| exceed the cut-go all the while, and
while in debt the man does not reach
| an inpome proper, but is a mere bor
i rower of the means of subsistanco. He
| should make bis style severely plain,
as long as ho is living on oilier people.
Such are some of the suggestions
j connected with our present situation.
We believe if the planters and farmers
; of Georgia will ponder them wit h per-
I sonal and practical interest they will
see something of the facts of their cou
j ditifiß, and of the changes necessary
I for future improvement.
With one suggestion as to the prac
l Meal moans of production,wo will close
(his report.
Few qiu - lions affect ting tho intcr
i ost of the tillers of tin soil can com
pare with the doctrine of fertilization.
It is a very happy omen that thopub
-1 lie mind is so universally exercised up
|on this essential matter. Indeed this
interest amounts almost to cuthusi-
I asm,and tlm result are to be very lmp-
I ortnnt.
We venture to say that the discit:,-
j ion in public assemblies and in the
journals devoted to our business have
I t hrown more light on tin priiiiplosand
science of fel tilizalion, in the last three
| years, than we had before in any thirty
j years. These oral and written dis
| missions are rapidly popularizing the
( ideas underlying this g i vat subject, am 1
giving to tho humblest farmer iu the
laud insight into the principles and
| method unknown to the scientific and
practical minds in the past.
Tho elaborate report of Professor
j White, founded on briginal investiga
tions and analysis, is one of tho most
valuable contributions to the practical
knowledge of the agriultural commit
! nit}’ of the South, ever made, and is
j the pledge of yet further fruits to be
\ gathered by tlio application of science
|to guide the pursuits of industry. JSo
enormous are outlays annually made
i for fertilizers, that any information as
Ito their cost, their fitness, and the
! means of ascertaining it, is of great
and timely public service.
Tho committee also furnishes to the
people the report of Col. Hardeman,
showing the comparative productions
of various years, and humiliatimg fact
in regard to tho extent of our impor
tations of what should be produced at
home. Much of the effects of the great
financial Crisis would have been avoid
ed by the policy hcrein-before shad
owed forth.
We also publish the valuable exper
iments of Prof. Pendleton, to he con
tinued from year to year, as the re
sult of careful observation of interest
ing practical problems.
From the Treasurer’s report
we find that the receipts
for the past twelve mouths
have been from the city
of Macon and tho State of
Georgia $18,357 12
There was left a balance in
the treasury from the last
annual report 2,072 fit!
And that t here lias been dis
bursed the past year 19,235 51
/LV .shorn paid out on warrants
of the S,-*rotary upon the Treasurer,
for advertising, printing, postage, sta
tionery, salaries, office expenses, exee
kitivo committee, expense of faiigNirud
fertilizer investigations, all of which
warrants running from No. 1 to No.
205, and premium warrants from No.
—to No.—.
With only $2,500 appropriated by
the Legislature, your committee has
been very seriously embarrassed for
lack of money; and to enable it to hold
the annual fairs, has been compelled
to secure the requisite funds by mak
ing contracts with the cities at which
the fairs have been held. This lias
intorfererd, more or less seriously with
giving such character to the fairs as
in the judgment of your committee
would develop their highest useful
ness.
Instead of conducting the fair as a
big show, attractive mainly to sight
seekers, it is deemed very desirable to
make it an exposition, where the pro
ducts of skill and industry should be
arranged for inspection during several
'weeks that, without jostling and eon
fusion, they may be leisurely and care
full} examined by visitors. Such an
arrangement would effectually dis
pense with tlm disturbing concomit
ants usually present on our fair
! grounds, and which, although offen
! sive and distasteful to your committee,
, they have not been able, for reasons
! given above, fully to control. This
i statement, your committee feels, is due
! both to itself and the public.
Notwithstanding tho difficulties
enumerated, it must bo conceded that
I the last fair held at Macon was of
great value to the agricultural inter
ests of the State. The spirit of gen
erous emulation developed between
the competing counties, the impulse
given to their respective farmers, and
indirectly to those of the whole State,
through their magnificent exhibitions,
aannot fail to elevalo the standard of
agriculture and give new momentum
to all branches of industry.
The ill health of Air. S. Barnet
compelled him, reluctantly, to tender
,his resignation as secretary of tho so
ciety in August last. With equal re
luctance the committee accepted the
same. Mr. Malcolm Johnston, who
had been for some time assistant sec
retary, was at the same time elected
secretary, and has proved himself a
prompt and eflieiont officer.

Results of Experiments in Agri
culture.
Dr. E. M. Pendleton, Professor of
Practical Agriculture in the State Col
lege of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts,
after numerous experiments on the
farm of the college, has delivered a
lengthy report of results, which are
summarized as follows, and will prove
valuable to every one interested in
agriculture: To sum up the practical
i bearings of these experiments they
| teach- 1. That it is a great waste of am
i monia when Peruvian guano is used
:in its concentrated form; it should be
.mixedwith superphosphate, alkaline,
i salts, etc.
2. That no combination of salts,
leaving out soluble phosphoric acid,
will pay on our worn out soils.
3. That taken separately none of
the salts sold as fertilizers to make
homo Compound; will pay. Their vir
tues. if any, must bo in chemical ac+ion
upon each other, and the substances
with which they are composed.
•I. That ashes treated with sulphu
ric acid will greatly improve their fer
tilizing qualities.
5. That 200 lbs. of a good animoni
atod superphosphate is about the quan
tity to be used on nil' aero of cotton.
(i. -That a soil abounding in vegeta
ble matter will pay a much better per
cent, with commercial fertilizers than
I one having hut little of this substance.
7. That a largo amount
ers (say half a ton per aero) will nut
; pay with low priced cotton.
8. That with good cultivation, good
fertilizers will pay, even at the lowest
rates of cotton; but with bad cultiva
tion, they will hardly pay at any price.
9. That white potash is more indis
pensable to plant life than soda; the
[latter may replace tho former un-
I dcr certain circumstances.
B). That the di-phosphatc of limo,
being less soluble in cold water, is not
so efficient as the bi-phosphiito as a
; fertilizier.
11. That stable manure, either fresh
! or rotten, applied with a high graded
superphosphate, makes a very efficient
fertilizer for cotton.
12. That cotton seed applied with
the germ killed (or green, if put in
deep), in conjunction with a good su
ipor-phospliate, makes a powerful fer
tilizier.
13. That limo should never ho used
in conjunction with a super-phos
phate, and the application of super
phosphates to valorous soils is of doubt
ful utility.
14. Fertilizers applied during tho
growth of th.'. crop, to keep up a sup
ply of nutrition to the rootlets, will
not pn v under ordinary circumstances'.
15. That ammonia is tho most ac
tive and efficient form of nitrogen,
when applied as a fertilizer, and that
organic nitrogen in certain alvumin
oids is more effectual than the nitrates.
Hi. That the value of nitrogen and
'phosphoric acid to a farmer depends
on their forms and combinations, not
; (heir commercial value, which is rated
| according to the law of supply and de
i maud.
17. flint the application of soluble
j manures in a liquid form is a better
and more efficient than when applied
| in the dry state.
18. That lime will pa? on soils
abounding in organic matter; on other
j soils its application is of doubtful
! utility.
Iff. That subsoils do not germinate
seeds or plains like surface soils.
20. That early planting of cotton
will not produce as much as that plant
ed Liter, when the ground becomes
warm, and the plant is not retarded,
but grows off vigorous and heartily.
21. That subsi liling cotton lands
will pav far the extra labor on ourclav
soils.
22. That one stalk in tho hill will
produce more cotton than two or
more stalk's.
23. That topping cotton is rather a
detriment than an advantage to the
crop.
24. That cotton planted in narrow
rows 2.! feet, wide, and fertilized on
thiii land, will produce more fruit than
in wider rows of a seasonable year.
25. That the difference 1 >et ween a rich
and poor soil is probably owing to tho
amount of available nitrogen and phos
phoric acid,'held in soluble conditions
with the humus or black matter re
sulting from the decay of plants, in
which there are always a sufficiency of
the otW-r mineral elements.
2(’>. That-sul(soiling land for corn
. w ill pay B 1,0 extra labor even of a
seasonable year, much better of a dry
year. *
27. That deep ploughing of corn du
ring si nne seasons, at least, on day land,
seems to answer as well if not better
than shallow culture.
2b. That ii ve by three feet is the best
distance to plant corn on medium land
of a seasonable year.
29. That pulling fodder does not se
riously injure corn after it passes tho
milk stage.
39. That superphosphate is the. best
fertilizer for leguminous plants, not
because it is preferred food bu theca l , ’.so
available phosphoric acid is deficient
in our soils.
31. That large crops of turnips can
be made on our thin lands by the ap
plication of superphosphate of lime,
and •infcrentially sheep husbandry
i night be made profitable by feeding on
; turnips and fertilizing tho soil, as well
as for tho wool and mutton, and the
consequent reduction of the amount
j of cotton by the division of labor.
Never put, a particle of soap about

A WARNING VOICE.
Good Advice From a lllack Man to the
blacks of the State.
[From tho ('lmrloHton Courier.]
The following letter from Major AT.
It. Dclany, an educated and intelli
! gent black limn, is of deep interest to
the people of his raeo throughout tho
State :
CiiAiii.KSTON, February 10,1874.
/foil. ,/. J. Wright, Assistant Jusiice
Supreme Court, South Carolina, Co
lumbia, S. <:
My Deaii Sin —I sco by tho recent
convention held by tho young moil of
I tiehland county, at which you spoke
and gave some excellent counsel, that
much interest and alarm were mani-
I tested by them at the influx of white
j immigration.
THIS IS BUT TIIK EARLY CURRENT
lof that immigration of which I fre
j quently cautioned the people coneern
| ing in • at Hilton Head, and
j among the sen islanders; and spoke of
it at tho great reconstruction meeting
at lipping Hull, (now United States
Court House,) Charleston, 1808, and
more particularly at tho club meeting
of Republicans at Beaufort the same
year, (I being' then in the United
States army, stationed at Hilton’s
ilcu'Jf) and subsequently at other
| times when you were present. I re
| member tho club meeting particularly,
[ as the suggestion made by me met
with determined opposition, and one
i of tho most prominent leaders of the
lpartythc.ro at the time arose in the
meeting and advised the people that
there need ho no fears of any such
thing ever taking place, as it was
simply imposssible ever to outnumber
the colored people in South Carolina
and Mississippi, where the blacks now
had the preponderance. You must
remember this at the Beaufort club
meeting. I spoke of general amnes
ty, and this too, was “pooli-hooed !”
I simply desire to say that this tide of
immigration having now set in will go
on to completion -that is, it will not
! cease till the white population in the
' State sufficiently outnumbers the
blacks to secure to the whites tho ba
, sis of
A Itn.lNO ELEMENT.
The object of the “Granges” or iin
! migration movement in this State, as
you very well know, is to naturalize
tho black ruling element, by reducing
.or exceeding its majority. And my
i candid opinion is, that the whites in
’ the South generally, and South Caro-
I linn in particular, prefer as agricultu
i ral, mechanical, and laboring elements
the blacks to the whites; and that
| this immigration scheme never would
; have been organized had they, from
the past and present aspect of things,
not been led to believe that we, the
| blacks, were influenced, controlled and
led in our political actions without
! principle or a will of our own, and
; that so long as we outnumbered them,
they would never got a chance to par
ticipate in tho political affairs of the
State. This is my sincere conviction,
after much observation and intelligent
inquiry.
BUT THE THING IS NOW DONE,
and it is a fixed fact that in live years,
if not less time than this, the black
| population (I include all people of
; color) will be in the minority in this
State. AVhat our race requires is
proper infonnatoiu to rightly (Creel
it. This has been too long neglected,
and should have been by those who
led them in polities. AYliat I desire
1 now to say is that it is your duty, as
!it is that of every intelligent man
[ among us, wlio aspires to a leader
ship, loves his race, has the capacity,
j and is versed in the great principles of
! political science, and, consequently,
; tho philosophy of popular succession,
i to warn his people of a great approach
ing reality, which, sooner of later,
will verify, itself in history. That,
having prospectively lost the popular
[preponderance and consequent eer
j taint}' of representation in all the de
partments of government, local, State
and national, our only hope and chance
!of its future security is in the princi
ple of
CUMULATIVE VOTING
which secures minority representation
:as w ell as majority. Let our Legisla
ture be wise enough now, while it is
ill the power of our race to do so, to
take such measures as to secure, by
constitutional enactment, tho right of
! minority representation, which; while
it immediately secures to tlio whites
jof the State, irrespective of party, a
| pro rata reproseutatation, or repre
| sentation in proportion to numbers, it
! secures to the black race the same ra
; tio of representation in counties where
i tho whites have the majority, and
i when they shall preponderate in pop
ulation in the State, which they most
assuredly will, at no distant day.
THE WHITE IlfcK IS TRUE TO ITSELF,
! and it is useless and doing injustice to
1 both races to conceal the fact, that in
! giving liberty and equality of rights
,to the blacks they had no desire to
! see them rule over their own race.
; And tho blacks may as well know this
|at once ; that there is no scheme that
; can be laid, no measure that may he
entered into, nor expense so great,
which they will not incur to change
! such a relation between the blacks
' and whites in this country. Best as
[ sured of this, that there are no white
I people North nor South, who willsub
i mit to see tho blacks rule over the
| w hites in America. AYo may as well
be plain and candid on this point, look
! each other in tho face, and let the
i truth he known. Radicalism as
I taught by political leaders for selfish
motives and personal gain, has led tho
j masses of an untutored race to believe
! otherwise and act accordingly. But
I it is a dreadful,
TERRIBLE POLITICAL HERESY,

MAKES THE WEAK STRON6.
T7i e Peruvian Syrup, a Protect*
ed Solution of the Protoxide of
Iron, is so combined as to hava
the character of an aliment, aa
easily digested and assimilated
with the blood as the simplest
food. It, increases the quantity
of Nature's Own Vitalizing
Agent, Iron in the blood, and
cures “a thousand ills,’* simply
by Toning up,lnvigorating and
1 italizing the System. The en*
rielted and vitalized blood per*
meates every part of the body t
repairing damages and waste,
searching out morbid secre
tions, and leaving nothing fov
disease to feed upon. x
This is the secret of the won
derful success of this remedy in
curing Dyspepsia, Liver Com
plaint, Dropsy, Chronic Diar
rhoea, Boils, Nervous Affections,
Chills anil Fevers, Ilnmors,
Loss of Constitutional Vigor,
Diseases of tho Kidneys anil
Bladder, Female Complaints,
and all diseases originating in
a bad state of the blood, or ac
companied by debility or alow
state of the system. lie ing free
from Alcohol, in any form, its
energizing effects are not fol
lowed by corresponding reac
tion, but are permanent, infu
sing strength, vigor, and new
life into all parts of the system ,
and building up an Iron Con
stitution.
Thousands have been changed
by the use of this remedy, from
weak, sickly, suffering crea
tures, to strong, healthy, ami
happy men and women; and
invalids cannot reasonably hes
itate to give it a trial.
