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. (Signed) A. ii.

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 your silver if you wish it to retain its original lustre. When it wants pol ish take a piece of soft leather and whiting and rub hard. The proprie tor of one of the oldest silver estab lishments in the city of Philadelphia says that “housekeepers ruin their silver by washing it;in soapsuds, as it makes it look like pewter.” A c lei rated dandy was ono evening iu company with a young lady and ob serving her kiss lie favorite poodle, ho advanced and asked a like favor saying that she ought to have as much ; charity for him ns she had shown the dog. “Sir,” said the belle, “I never kissed my dog when ho was n puppy.” The fellow took the hint and was off ! instanter. Ixxocknce and ViETCK.—lnnoccnco is not virtue, and those who fancy that it is make a fatal mistake. Inno cence is simply the ignorance of evil; virtue knows it, appreciates it, rejects it. Infancy is lovely in its innocence, i but life, with its stern realities, de mands the strong, ripened vigor of manly virtue to resist, its evil, to pro tect its good, to build up character and to bless the world. A Bedford, Pa., newspaper tells of a girl who stands on a half-bushel measure and gracefully shoulders three bushels of wheat. To a doubt ing editor in an adjoining county, the newspaper mentions the fact that she is a brunette, five feet three inches longitude; that lier gravity is two hundred and twenty-five pounds, and that she can whip any editor in Cam bria Comity. 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, i which should receive the stamp of ! condemnation by every true friend of ; mankind and a just government, black and white. They are, as they should ■ be, willing to have us participate ; to : concede us our legitimate and reason | able share as citizens, but not an abso : lute and supremo control in political affairs. I have the honor to bo, sir. Your friend and fellow-citizen, Al. B. Delany. im IvSXAX’S EUROPEAN HOUSE,; SAVANNAH, (A. m Till*: CiIM.VFMST lIO'J’HJIi IN Til K ( ITV !
