IJiBESTING TALK
Georgia Commissioner of
Agriculture’s Hints.
THE SCIENTIFIC FARMER,
it is the Duty of Every Man to Aim
High—He Who Makes His Living
by Tilling the Soil Should Be no Ex¬
ception to This Rule.
Talk of the Commissioner.
I have written many letters urging
the farmers of Georgia to take the one
step that will make our great State
absolutely self-supporting, and some¬
times I have feared that my persis¬
tence would weary them, But when
one knows that he is right, he must
persevere.
In recent ta*ks from this department
it has been shown that Georgia is not
yet the seif-supporting State that she
was previous to the civil war. Though
there is in this respect great improve¬
ment, much yet remains to be done.
Until every needed step has been tak¬
en, it behooves the Georgia Depart¬
ment of Agriculture to give line upon
line and precept upon precept.
In many sections of our State there
is still time for the sowing of wheat,
rye and barley, By as much as we
have, through unfavorable seasons,
fallen short in our crops of cotton and
corn, by so much is the necessity up-
on us to make up the deficiency in the
abundance of other crops. Unflagging
energy is the price or success, and
this is as tme of farming as of any
other business. It is the diligent man,
who shrinl ; not at any necessary toil,
who makes his mark upon his day
and generation.
One of the best signs of the times
is the restlessness of the people in
every industrial pursuit, the constant
striving after better things.
A scientific farmer is a learned man,
in that particular branch of education.
Time was when no man was called
educated who had not received a di-
pioma^rom a college, Now the man
skilled in his proiession, whatever that
may be, is classed among the scientific.
It is the duty of every man to aim
high He, who makes his living by
agriculture, should consider himself
under obligation to do his work in such
a way as will Lest promote the pros¬
perity and happiness of his family.
Whether he believes it or not, he has
no right to go on in the old slipshod
way, making a bare living out of the
soil which holds within its bosom un¬
told wealth for him who seeks it in
the right way. He is unworthy the
name of farmer, who sits idly down,
whining about his bad luck, Instead of
bestirring himself like a man to force
fortune's smile.
Of course, it is hard to be disappoint¬
ed and to have one’s expectations cut
short by unfavorable seasons; but the
remedy is his going right at it again.
“What if the say is overcast?
The dark appearance will not last;
Expect a better day!.”
But. it is folly to expect anything
to turn up, unless you make it turn up.
The following suggestions from “The
Southern Planter,” a farm journal
published in Richmond, Va., are so
practical that I take the liberty of giv-
them to our Georgia farmers:
“It should always be borne in mind
that all the cultivation that can be
given either of these crops twheat and
winter oats), except it may be a har¬
rowing of the crop in the spring, which
though often omitted, is of great use
in helping the crop, must be given
before the crop is seeded; hence, the
importance of leaving nothing undone
that can conduce to a finely broken
surface soil and a compact subsoil.
Plow deep, hariow and roll frequently.
Much good has been found to result
in the west from subsurface packing.
This is practically a reversion to a
practice that has been in use in Eng¬
land ever since we can recollect. The
roller used for the purpose in England
is one made with two large wheels,
having the rolling surface made V-
shaped, the point of the V being lett
about one inch broad. These two
wheels are set on an axle, so as to run
one on each side of the furrow thrown
by the plow, so as to pack the seam
between each furrow, A third wheel
is set on the other end of the axle to
run on the unplowed land, This
roller follows the plow, waiting to
start until three furrows have been
turned. Its use has been found of
great benefit, especially when plowing
sod land for wheat. The close pack-
ing of the seams of the furrow pre-
vents seed from getting down under
the furrow, where it rarely germinates
or grows, and thus leads to a thin
growth of the crop. These subsurface
packing rollers can be had from West¬
ern implement dealers, but we have
not seen them advertised in the east.
We have used the English form of
roller and can speak favorably of it.
In Its absence, the corrugated iron
roller advertised in our columns by
a Charlottesville firm, which la prae-
tioally the same as the roller known
In England as a Cambridge roller, can
be usefully substituted.”
The same writer suggests that after
the soil has been packed well, the sur¬
face should be finely harrowed.
To get rid of the ravages of the
Hessian fly he suggests that in sec-
tions specially annoyed by this pest,
wheat should not be sown until after
the flies have been trapped on a
strip of wheat seeded early and then
plowed down, thus i. js.. o.> lug the eggs
and pupa,
About Cotton.
As to cotton, see that it is picked aa
fast as it open*, so that it may not, by
remaining on the plants, be stained and
wasted by storms, I would suggest
that farmers, who are able to hold
their cotton, should not be in too big
a hurry to get their crop to market
and thus cause price* to drop below
the point of good profit.
Shelter for Stock.
In some portions of Georgia it is
necessary to ptovide shelter for stock
during the winter, and. in fact, over
a large part of the state stock will
thrive better, if thus cared for during
our cold spells, Now ie a good time
to have all barns, sheds and pens thor¬
oughly cleaned, repaired and white¬
washed, so as to be in the best possi¬
ble condition for housing your stock
comfortably.
Farm Implements.
The careful farmer saves himself
great loss by looking after his farm
Implements. This is a good time to
see that all those not at this time in
use shall be thoroughly cleaned and
placed under cover.

Silk Culture In Georgia.
When the colony of Georgia was
first founded, it was intended to make
It a great silk-producing country; but
when the cotton gin was Invented, the
fleecy staple came prominently to the
front and King Cotton, mounting his
throne, for a long time ruled Georgia
with despotic sway, supplanting all
other industries. But til# time has
come for the old king to take a lower
place and share with other industries
In promoting the strength and great¬
ness of our noble commonwealth.
Efforts are being made to arouse
once more an Interest among the peo¬
ple of Georgia in silk culture. North
Carolina has of late years made some
progress on this line. Thinking that
there is something of promise to Geor¬
gia in the silk Industry, we publish
the following correspondence:
“Tallulah, Falla, Ga., Oct. 13, 1902.
Mr. R. F. Wright, (Ass’t. Com. Dep’t
Agriculture) Atlanta, Ga.:
Dear Sir:
Referring to our conversation of
recent date, I beg leave herewith to
enclose you a letter referring to the
organization of a “Silk Culture
League,” which you may print in your
monthly talks through the various
papers that you control.
I also beg leave to enclose list of
names to whom I have addressed a let¬
ter similar to the one sent to you Oct.
5th.
I will be glad to have you make me
a list of about 25 to 50 prominent men
and women throughout the etate ti
whom I would like to address an invi¬
tation to assist in the formation of the
proposed “Silk Culture League.”
Thanking you for many past favors,
I am, your truly, Louis B. Magid.
Tallulah Falls, Ga., OOct. 5 , 1902.
To the Editor:
I note in the press with much inter¬
est that certain people of Georgia are
making worthy efforts to honor Gener¬
al James Edward Oglethorpe with the
erection of a monument to his memo-
ry. This noble work is commendable
within itself.
One hundred and sixty-eight years
ago when General Oglethorpe first set.
tied the colony of Georgia, he encour¬
aged and introduced silk raising.
Tne press has given considerable
attention to my recent efforts to en-
courage the people of Georgia to re¬
vive and reintroduce the raising of
silK. Since the commencement of my
actual operations in the introduction
of silk-raising in this vicinity, 1 am
the reepient of a great number of let-
ters from people throughout the state
an( l sister states with the general in¬
quiry, “How should we begin silk
raising?, a leading motive with them
being to Improve their present condl-
tions and circumstances.
Many of the writers tell me that
they are widows and some are in 111
health or other imperfect surround-
ings which prevent them from earning
an nonest living. Silk raising is a
simple and light industry, lasting only
six weeks, but most people are ignor-
of the art of producing the raw
silk. Silk raising In Georgia would
diversify the products of the farm,
and afford to many an acceptable in¬
crease of income.
I beg to offer the following sugges¬
tions to the people of our etate, espe¬
cially to the more prosperous people
who have the Interests of the etate at
heart and are able to aseiet &e*e who
Hle no * so * or ^ una ^* specially thosv
people living in the rural district*
who need some simple occupation, for
Instance; widows, orphans and even old
men who are too feeble to do any or¬
dinary field work. I will gladly answer
all letters and give all the information
at my command, as it is partly for this
purpose that I have located here, to
demonstrate the art of silk raising to
the people of Georgia.
In the Southern States silk raising
can be introduced and made to pay.
I, therefore, appeal to the people of
Georgia in their own behalf, to form
an organization to be known as “The
Silk Culture League of Georgia,” the
purpose of which shall be to collect
and acquire all propel information,
based on scientific methods, as to the
production and raising of silk, and
through this Silk Culture League to
diffuse and encourage the knowledge
and art of silk raising in our state.
I have already mentioned this mat¬
ter to several prominent Georgians.
who have the iiuruo, v»i me farming
people of our state at heart, including
the commissioner ami assistant com¬
missioner of the agricultural depart¬
ment of the State. These have all
assured me of their hearty co-opera¬
tion. I shall be glad to hear more
from Georgians on the subject and re¬
ceive such suggestions as with their
co-operation will help to organize this
proposed “Silk Culture League of
Georgia.**
Such an organization to revive silk
culture in Georgia which was the
dream of General Oglethorpe, would
be a second mouum lit to the Gener-
al’s memory. Respectfully,
Louis B. Magid.
Not Inconsolable.
When Cardinal Manning was rec¬
tor of Lovington, lie went to visit
a parishioner, a widow sefenty-five
years of age, who had ten children,
of whom all but one daughter had
married and left her. This daugh¬
ter also was about to be married.
The old lady would then be quite
alone. Everybody’s Magazine tells
of the cardinal’s effort to sympa¬
thize with her.
“Dame, you must feel it lonely
now after having had so large a
family.”
“Yes, sir,” slie said, “I do feel it
lonesome. I’ve brought up a long
family, an’ here I am living alone.
An’ I misses ’em, an’ I wants ’em;
but I misses ’em more than I wants
’em.”
Spiders Set the Style.
Two centuries ago missionaries
taught the natives of Paraguay to
make lace by hand. The art has
been handed down from generation
to generation, and in some of the
towns lacemaking is the chief occu¬
pation. Almost all the women and
children and many of the men are
engaged in it. A singular fact
the about the Paraguayan laces is that
designs are borrowed from the
curious webs spun by the semitrop-
ical spiders which abound in that
country. For this reason the lace is
called by the natives nanduti, an
Indian word that means spider
web.
