HIS MONTHLY TALK WITH THE
GEORGIA FARMERS
On Subjects of Generdl Interest Par-
taiuing to the Farm and
L Garden-Good Advioo.
Atlanta, Nov. 1st. '07. !
1 The past month, with local exceptions,
has been uniformly favorable for the
sowing of all crops, an) in this work
our farmers have made fluo headway.
T1IK IXITTON
crop in virtually gathered and, with
1 few exceptions, never were its results
more disappointing. At' one time the
crop outlook through tlie state, with the
exception of northwest Georgia, was
most encouraging. From unpropritious
seasons in that particular section tlie
crop has been almost uniformly unprom- !
ising, mid from the time It came out of
tlie ground all through tin* growing and
making season, ami until fully matured
and gathered, offered little hope. in
other sections, however, the crop at one
time promised well, and the general
failure iti results, combined with un
fortunately low prices, have brought
disapisiintmuiit and gloom to almost
every farmhouse in Georgia. Tlie per-,
plexiug and unsatisfactory condition of
our monetary ntfalrs 1ms added its de
pression of iutlueuce, and altogether
our farmers as a class are troubled liy
anxious forebodings. More especially is
this true of those who have neglected
diversity of crops and ample home-
raised provisions.
ECONOMY
has been the watchword and making
tlie present crop, and its principles have
been more gen rally practiced this year
than for several years piist. In many
instances men have denied themselves
and l'umllies necessary comforts. Hut
the sacrifice seems unavailing, and
farmers, in common with workingmen
of all cIiihhos, lire suffering, though it
may bo in less degree, front the desig
nated condition of the times.
But, while much of tho present un
rest and dissatisfaction (ran bo traced to
defective financial laws, we* ns farmers,
must admit that, as a class, we have in
vited disaster by ignoring some of tlie
plainest and simplest business rules.
We reudily admit that in our efforts to
cultivate much of our land, wo are
yearly taxing it beyond that point where
cuuld we expect even under the most
favorable seasons nnd with tho most
persistent and faithful work to realize
more than tho cost of production. No
hope of profit, oveu under tho best sea
sons and best management. Willi un-
propitious seasons the result is actual
loss, and oftentimes suffering. Will we
never learn wisdom from hard experi
ence, or is the absolute loss of our prop
erty and totul inability to secure sup
plies on time the only sure check on
our
SPECULATIVE SYSTEM OK FARMING?
Our fanners should remember from
their past experience that they cannot
afford to start u crop in tho vaiu hope
that after advancing it to a certain stage,
some one else will ho willing to risk tho
supplies to keep it going. Tho mer
chant, like tlie farmer, has drifted along
In the same current, both shutting their
eyes to the dangerous snags all along
their course. He, like ourselves, has
hoped against hope, striving each year
to recover some part of the losses which
he has borne in tlie shape of advanced
and unpaid for supplies. Our mutual
hopes have been built upon sand foun
dations and the props seem entirely
swept away. Tlie lesson for us us farm- j
ere to learn is, that under existing cir
cumstances, it is worse than folly to at
tempt to work our lands under the old
methods, and with supplies obtained on
credit. It must lie evident to every
thinking farmer, in tlie light of his own
experience and that of hundreds of
others who have bravely struggled and
failed, that if we continue a course so
fraught with danger, nothing blit a mir
acle will save us from ruin. Let us
arouse ourselves to our true condition,
and realize at once that if we expect to
make our farming successful and self-
supporting, we must follow legitimate
and sensible business rules, and not tlie
speculative plan, which lias character
ized our management for so many years.

und determine just how much of our
land under favorable, or, I should say,
average seasons, with careful manage
ment, will give us home supplies, homo
comforts. We but invite failure when
we attempt to cultivate land which, de-
pi ted by a long and continuous system
of cleanly hood and exhaustive crops,
holds out little hope of remunerative
returns unless a different plan is adopted.
Our towns are today being filled with
DISAPPOINTED FARMERS,
wlio, despairing of success in their cho
sen calling, have been induced to em
bark in nndi.rtakins in which they have
no experience and. in many instances,
little aptitude. They forgot that success
in any business is usually the crowing
result of education, study and often
years of patient labor in that special
line. We see daily hundreds of eases
Where farmers have ventured their ail
in new and untried business and lost,
uid their condition calls for our warm-
»t sympathy.
The young man just starting out is
life without capital, but fitted by tern-
peramedt and education for so-no spy
cial work, will find it to his interest to
engage in that work, hecaust there his
main and muscle can lie used for Uts ad
vancenient. To luch the farm cannot
hold out inducements unfit aci.t, Other
fields arc more inviting and offer better
pay, and one cannot expect him to lore
go a favorable op;iortunlty i r sacrifice
his interest to a mere sentiment. Life-
work is too real, and we deal with issues
too vital to be trifled with, and each one
should select the work for which he is
best fitted. But ill selecting our tmsi
ness, not only our fitness, but our indi
vidual fancies and prejudices should lie
coiuddered, and in every avocation there
is one essential without wh.ch we can
rarely hope to climb high on tho ladder
to success that is, wo must love our
Work to tic witling to devote our time,
our energies and such talent as we pos
sess to its advancement.
Having chosen our work we must not
only love it, hut hold to it in shadow as
well as sunshine, in discouragement as
well as when it goes right. As farmers
we must allow no opportunity for gain
ing information, for improving our
methods, to escape, ami once we dis
cover that we are on tho wrong track,
call a halt, consider the situation, and
having decided on a different line of ac
tion, follow it to the finish’. Heretofore
defeat 1ms made us desperate, and in
the vaiu hope of bettering our condition
we have plunged deeper into methods,
which, upon reflection mid in our calmer
moments, we willingly admit are false
in promises and unattainable in accom
plishment. We have lioeii working for
immediate results without considering
tlie injury to our lands or our ability to
execute the plans, which we have but
partially matured. Recognizing our
mistake the only sound policy is to
ciianok our plan
for tli(> future. Permit mo to emphasize
some of the mistakes and to reiterate
the warning, which I havy so often ut
tered. The first and most grievous, the
one which lias caused us the greatest
number of disappointments as well as
changed the character of our soils is
planting tlie same 1 mil year after year
m the sumo clean-hoed and cultivated
croiw, without rest or change. On this
subject I quote tho following from the
American Agriculturist, allowing how
universal the practice mid how impor
tant to apply tho remedy:
“The farmer who owns his farm is
concerned quite lias much for it< future
as for its present -productiveness. He
cannot afford, even under pressure of
seeming necessity, to sell tlie fertility of
his land by tho Imshc! until its decreas
ing productiveness makes longer cultiva
tion Impossible. Thousands have gone
tills road, and have only found their
mistake when too late to retract their
steps.
“However important immediate re
sults may seem, tne careful farmer looks
to next year and the yeur after, lttukc*
exceptional crops to make tlie fiirmorin-
ditferent to the future of his soil. But
the true economy consists in combining
both immediate and future lieiiottt by
applying manures chiefly to clover mid
other crops which themselves add to
soil fertility, and thus make it serve
both ends, it is here that grainInriners
have an advantage over those who grow
hood crojis exclusively. Tlie farmer who
grows grain can and should always sow
clover witii it. Then all tlie manure lie
applies to tile griiin crop serves u double
purpose, Tlie hoed crop may make the
most money per aero, lmt, if it is grown
year after year, it demands tho yearly
purchase or a large amount of manure.
That will take off tin* profits. The
alternation of grain seeded witii clover,
and then alter one or two years growth
tlie clover plowed under as green ma
nure for some hoed crop, secures botli
tlio immediate profit and tlie permanent
benefit to tho soil which every goo 1
farmer so ks."
In tlie more southern latitudes peas or
rye take the place of the clover.
A second error is the yearly purchase
of large amounts of commercial fertili
zer, stock and provisions, partly on time,
in the hope of a few extra halos, forgit
ting tliat when tlie additional labor and
various other extra items tiro calculate I
tlie expense account is largely increase!,,
and when tho crops are gathered the ad
ditional results are sadly disproiiortioii-
ate.
Thu third mistake is included in tlie
others — Unit is, tlie hazardous experi
ment of planting it short provision crop
and trusting to our merchant; or ••luck,*’
to keep us out. On a farm where plenty
of provisions nruplantod there is always
ample opportunity for “rotation und
renovation," and where the farmer raises
his own meat and po-sibly his stock, the
harmony of agricultural relations is ad
justed aiul maintained year alter year,
and tlie land, instead of retrograding, is
being constantly improved.
We have
EXPLODED THE OLD IDEA
that debts cun lie paid or money made
on borrowed capital when cotton bringH
only 7 or 8 cents. In looking at tins
question from a business as well as an
agricultural standpoint, we cannot
afford to ignore some unpleasant truths,
l'he crop producing capacity of our
cultivated lands lias alarmingly de
creased; tho facilities for reaching nowor
and more productive lands have so
greatly increased as to draw off a large
part of our best farming population;
these two conditions, combined witii
our unfortunate financial status and tho
low prices prevailing for our principal
farm products have caused a general
agricultufal depression, and wo south
ern farmers will bo compelled to so
arrange tho acreage, character and gon-
erul direction of our crops as Pi enable
us to run our farms without incurring |
additional indebtedness. Many uro seri
ously cramped now, and witii tlie de
cline in land production and in prices
their affairs are becoming more and
more embarrassed. To such the error
of attempting to cultivate large areas I
in cotton on borrowed capita! is pain- :
fully apparent.
We should cultivate only such land as :
experience has taught us will produce
Well, and in such crops ns are suited Pi

available markets. We should resol' e
not to lie swerved from this [suition by
any favorable or sudden change, iu the

sanctioned by experience, common sense

At this season, when tlie crops are

We have frequent inquiries relative fo
galled work nniniale, and as we believu
that an ounce of preventative is worth a
pound of cure, prisicnt tlie following on
the subject of gearing horsee. Our farm
ers are too apt to pay hut little attention
to their work animals, and in the huudH
of careless hired lulxir not only does the
stock suffer, hut actual financial loss
occurs:
"Few farmers projHirly appreciate the
iinjxirtance and economy of keeping
good gear, and frequently overlook the
gearing of their work team. A horse
can do one-third more work witii less
fatigue when properly geared, if tho
few following rules are systematically
carried out, yon will never have a galled
animal: See that the collars fit properly
and never allow them to is; left in tits
sun at feeding time. Make your team
ster keep a piece of glass at tlie Htablu
and scrape off carefully all the perspira
tion. rubbing well with a corn cob or
hand after scraping. Do this every
morning. Keep a lump of beef tallow
on hand and grease twice a week
after serai tig. In warm weather,
when tlie animals perspire freely,
have the shoulders washed clean every
night, wiicn watered. Do this and you
will never have a galled horse. Ill the
spring of tlie year, when flies and gnats
ure troublesome, grease tlie ears ami
neck of your horses witii a little grease
in which lias Iss'ii mixed u little ksro-

"While tlie American people should
every day remember witii ionise and
thanksgiving tlie divine gonuncss and

nowledgement of Ills loving kindness.
"Therefore. I, Grover Cleveland, Pres

pi also to lie kept and observed liy all tlie
people ( f our land. On that day let us
forego our ordinary work mid employ
ments and assemble iu our UNtial places
of worship, where we may recall all that
God inis done for us, and wliuru, from
grateful hearts, our united tributes ot
praise and snug may reach the throne of
grace. Let the reunion of kindred and
the social mooting of friends lend cheer
and enjoyment to the duty mid let gen
erous gifts of charily for the relief of tlie
poor and needy prove tlie sincerity of
our thanksgiving.

Inert Mutter.
Does the inert matter found in fertil
izers injure it. Why is it put in ?
j. c. n.,
Jessup.
Ordinarily the inert matter placed in
fertilizers, unless fraud is i itented is to
reduce tho grade. To illustrate it some
times happens that a manipulator or
manufacturer to save freight rates and
obtain tho grnutest quuntit' of plant
fooil at the least cost, pure!, cs goods
the percentages of which run much
higher than usual. For these high
grade goods there is little demand and
the quality is reduced by mixing in
what is called a li I lor. When the filler
is thoroughly mixed so na to secure uni
form distribution ami the goods sold on
the basis of the plant food actually con
tained the fanner loses nothing. The
worth of a fertilizer cun be safely
udgeil from the chemical analysis, and
f tlie analysis shows the good equal to
the guarantee, and tlie inacliinicul con
dition good, it is immaterial whether
tile fertilizer was made out of low grade
goods or high grade iimtoriul reduced
by mixing a filler.

from this section the distinction should
be borne in mind,

that tlie same fungus produces root rot
in melons.
