In presenting our people with this

their attention to the fact that accord
ing to promise it lias been on lugerl
and is now an eight page seven coluin
paper. AY hile it is true one half of
it onlv is home print we trust our
patrons will find a few lines worth
reading, and if they are not worth
reading we sincerly trust you will be
so kiml ns to accept a good will in lieu
of a good di ed.
And will we trust look over the
past twelve weeks history of the Jour -
nal and in doing so take into con
sideration the fact, that we never once
(before taking bar :<* of this pnpeix
wrote a single piece for a newspaper
Therefore you will pardon us for say
ing- that in being able, within nine
short weeks, to send out as good paper
as we can, we can have nothing but a
feeling of pride for the same.

to extend our appreciation of their
kind and valuable assistance in the
upbuilding of tlie Journal; We desir c
to say further that your contribution
should,be in this office now not later
than Saturday evenings It is earn
estlv desired of each and everyone of
those that have heretofore eon tvibuted
to please continue. We can not let
everyone win a prize, but your exper
ience in this line may be worth sever
al such prizes as we offer.
„ Prize Winner.
1 and cl are it is a difficult job for any
one to decide which one of our cor
respondents is the best.
We must say that all were nice in
deed, of course ail are proud of them.
According to promise, this is the da\
upon which we are to decide and
award the prize one (§1.00) dollar.
Well, where shall we send it ? This
is the hard question. W e want to he
fair, giving credit to whom credit i b
due. So gueis it w i.ild bt nothing
but just for us to say that each and
everyone has done very well indeed,
each one crowding the other for this
little prize, and to save our life, it
would be difficult to award this prize
without exhibiting more or less par
tiality this we are compelled, through
justice to all, to safely avoid
If we bad offered the prize for the
best cdlection of lett .rs of eorrespou j
dents (that is from anywhere) we j
would been compelled to award it to;
the correspondent who signes ‘‘J. -M-
C.” If we had offered it to the one
sending the shortest letter we would
have had to give it to
“Xerxes” ot Urena, and thus Consid
ering each and everyone, the prize
would have been in the hands of some
one on account of some special feat
ure. Hut the offer was made for the
best single letter, and we are, after
vaking everything info consideration,
compelled to award the prize to our
Carnot carrespondent who signs
“Edith.”
This very small prize is hardly
worth competing for, but in the words
of one of our best correspondents as
follows: “I know you think lam not
going to write again, but as I told you
t'i tny former communication my time
is very limited, hut will try to write
ofteuer in the future. When I wrote
my former letter 1 had no idea of com
peting for he prize, but would he very
glad indeed could 1 lie so fortunate a s
to win it, prove for the knowledge
that my letter was best, than for the
value of it, though a dollar never
comes amiss
This was a personal letter which
was much appreciated, but which was
not pul ! shed: Had it been published
it would, no doubt, h.iveiaused many
more letters to come.
Taking everything into considera
tion and believing that those who are
entrusted with one talent are inclined
to improve tin same.
W e timv ofter just, double the prize,
and now offtr to the one sending mt
the best collection of twelve (12) let
ters between now and November Isl
a prize of two ($2.00) dollars.
These will bo taken into considera
tion as a group. Trusting that each
and everyone will believe me when
saving til- se letters are very interest
ing.
Sweet Pens,
With airy grace, mid petals light,
Like butterflies pausing in (light ;
These sweet blossoms poise on stems high
While, below them abjectly lie
Many other flowers, once called fair,
But whose charms no Longer compare
With those of the fragrant sweet peas,
Whoso grace alluring, hath with ease,
All the glory superseded—
The rain of roses is ended,
Violets and lilies no more,
Are the favorites as of yore:
From each one some color flown,
And to the winsome sweet peas blown —
Oh, what variegated array
Of dainty tints! sober and gay,
Softly blending to every J-no.
Roseate and of heaven’s blue —
Or from purple to lavender,
With intermingling shades tender;
While here and there, some blooms more
cold,
Are dashed with the crimson and gold.
Of liery clouds, when in the west.
The summer sun sinks into rest—
Yet sweeter than pink or azure
Are sweet peas dipped in white so pure.
Oil, what flower hath such daintiness,
Coquettish grace and loftiness!
Lovers can never choose amiss,
For it will surely lead them to bliss,
To give a cluster of sweet peas
To the maiden they wish to please;
And of these blooms a boutonniere
The most bashful swain must ensnare:
For all hearts are conquered today,
By these lovely flowers magic sway.

The Cot. of l r rtil izern.
Qui'.sriox', —How much of the cotton
crop would bo u-a-il if all fertilizers
were put up in cotton bags? Would it
increase the cost of fertilizers to the
farmers if this should be done?
Answer. —A good, strong cotton-sack,
to hold 309 pounds of fertilizer, would
weigh about J pound. Georgia baa
bought, during the past season, nearly
4,000,000 sacks of fertil zars. Had these
sacks all bean made of cotton, 8,000
bales, of 500 pounds to the bale, would
have been required. Assuming that
Georgia uses one fifrh of ihe fertilizers
made in the United States, then 40,000
bales of cotton would be used in sack
ing tbs entire output of the country.
Forty thousand bales of cotton, though
but a small fraction of the crop, would
be wed worth diverting into anew
channel, and I hope it can be effected.
It is an open question whether or not
the use of cotton bags would add to tho
cost of f.-'rli izers. Tho present price of
burlap bags is about (P, cents each.
The abominable tariff bill, vfldch will
goon pass congress, will add 33 per cent
to this, which will bring the cost of the
burlap sacks to about 9 cents each. A
good cotton sack will cost at present
prices of cotton about 12 1 J cents, or 3J-J
moro than the burlap sack. This is
such a small amount, that ill the com
petition between the fertilizer manu
facturers, it is doubtful whether or not
it would be added to the price of the
goods, and if not, of coarse the farm
ers would not have to pay it. The
farmers and manufacturers should both
give this matter their carefui attention,
and try to bring about satisfactory re
sets to both parlies Colton sacks were
n ed during the past season by some of
tho fertiliser manufacturers with entire
salis/action to themselves aud their
customers, and it would be woll i all of
the manufacturers would use them.
Shouid their use, however, add 30 cents
a ton to the cost of fertilizers, then we
don’t want tnem, for that would mean
over SIOO,OOO annually for the farmers
of Georgia alone, for which the new
outlet of 8,000 bales of cotton would in
no wise compensate them. The entire
matter resolves itself into this: The
farmers would like to buy their guano
put up in cotton sacks, now let the
manufacturers examine into the ques
tion carefully and see if it is possible to
gratify them. —State Agricultural

SPEOI A L NOTI Cl E.
The Weekly Constitution, published
at Atlanta, Ga., has announced its -lib
missing word contest. This is a mid
summer schecme and something to in
tereel you during the hot season.
It began June Ist, and closes the Ist of
September, covering a period of ninety
days. It publishes the full particulars
of the sealing of the book (the sentence
being taken from the works of a stan
dard author) and placing the book with-
Gol W. A. Hemphill, the Business Man
ager of the Constitution Publishing
Company, who keeps it in his safety
vault and will deliver it sealed, to the
committee deciding the contents on
Septembes Ist.
Ten per cent of the money received
from subscribers who enter the missing
word contest during the months of
June, .Inly and August will be paid to
the person or persons, naming correctly
the missing word in the followine sen
thnee
“W E HA V E N OT ‘ , >

VERY AWKWARD SHIES

There is not much doubt in the mind
of thi' Editor of this paper as to the
j word expressing that of which lie has
| not been able to secure enough, and he
realizes the very awkward shifts he is
put to for want of same, but the point
is to find the very word the author of
the sentenc used in writing it.
By special arrangements of the Weekly
Constitution* that great paper and ours
(The BANKS COUNTY JOURNAL)
can be obtained for one year iti almost
the price of one paper. Not only that ;
but under our arrangement with The
Weekly Constitution every person who
takes advantage of this clubbing prop
osition, subscribing for both
The Weekly Constitution, and.
The Banks County Journal atj> 1,215 will
be entitled to a guess at the mi. nig
word. All clubbing subsscription.
should be sent to this paper with each
subscriber’s guess at the missing word
plainly written. The guess anti
the name and address of each subscribes
will be forwarded by us to The Consti
tution.
The Constitution’s first ‘‘missing word
contest” closed on ilia Ist of January,
and but one person Mr. M. L. Brittain,
a hard-workijjg school teacner, guessed
the inisuing word, receiving therefor a
check for § 1,033,50.
Its second, contest closed on the Ist of
March, It, third contest closed on May
Ist, and the Weekly Constitution of
Monday, September Gth will contain the
anuoneoment of the av.areis in which tin
cash is t-obe distributed among the suc
cessful giiessers.nl this new contest.
The renders of our paper who subscribe |
jointly to it and Tns Weekly OmsiiVi
tion iiave free access into the f .ifljh j
contest just opened; and it may b' that j
some of then wiil get the money to be j
Uistributep on the Ist of September.
The only condition of the contest is
that every guesser must tie a §pliscriher
and taking advantage of The Constitu
tion’s offer we present this opportunity
to all who wish to subscribe to both
papers. Every person should
have his county paper and one general

COTTON BAGS FOR FERTILIZERS.
Referring to s i oral communication*
recently received we notice a growing
ing demand on the part of fanners for
cotton bags of lt>7 pounds capacity in
stead of those at present used for sack
ing fertilizin. The cotton bag, besides
adding another item to the long list of
demands on our annual cotton crop,
would have several advantages over
that now used. J.t is more durable;
shows aud retains the brand more per
fectly; is easier to handle. It fertilizer
dealers can consistently use the cotton
sacks, it will boa hoip to farmers, and
we are now in corrospotidence with fer
tilizer men as to the feasibility aud de
sirability of the change, from their
standpoint. Another matter to which
wo would oall attention is
AN ERROR IN ANNUAL OF ’93.
On page 10a, the proportion of Paris
green is stated as 1 pound to 2 of road
dust or ashes aud 5 pounds of flour or
lime. It should read 1 pound of Paris
geeeu to 00 pounds of dust or ashes and
6 pounds of fl-'ur or air slacked lime.
The last ingredients are used to cause
the mixture to stick to the plants. This
is the season when the advantage ot
using insecticidal anil fungicides be
comes powerfully apparent. The own
ers of orchards, vineyards and gardons,
which have been judiciously sprayed,
are now enjoying a comparative immu
nity from the attacks of myriads of in
sect aud fungus enemies, which are prey
ing upon their neighbors’ less carefully
protected fields, it is a fact, however,
that otia neglected orchard in a neigh
borhood of fruit growers becomes a
“rock of stumbling and offense,” be
cause of the extra diligence required to
bar the pests from the more carefully
kept orchards. Among uu-to-date fruit
growers and gardeners, spraying is in
universal use. and is one of the regu
larly calculate,! expenses. The man
who allows his fruit trees and vegeta
bles to take care of themselves, with the
exception of an occasional hurried
working, is not only losing the best re
turns for his labor, but lus carelessness
is a menace to his more successful
neighbor. Farmers are reading more
and studying more ou this aud kindred
subjects, and we trust to see the day
wheu these precautions will be consid
ered as much a part of the fruit aud
garden industry its the planting of tho
trees or the sowiug of the seeds. Spray
iug calendars, w.tli lull directions, may
be obtained at almost any experiment
station. One from the Ohio Experi
ment Station is arranged ou a large
sheet, which may be tacked to the wall
at any convenient place, and is then al
ways ready for reference.
WORK FOR THIS MONTH
is considered to have a powerful de
ciding influence ou the yield of the
crops. A carefully planned and exe
cuted spring aud early summer cam
paign may be almost entirely marred by
cue injudicious plowing at tins season. If
we keep in mind that tiie object of plow
ing now is not so much to break the
laud as to ebeck incipient weeds and
grass and to spread a thin mulch over
the surface which will conserve mois
ture and also promote the free access of
air to tho shallow lying plant roots, we
will not be apt. to put the plow in too
deep. An inch is sufficient, aud if the
wide cutting scrape or expattdiug culti
vator is U3ed, the work may be dona
very effectively aud very rapidly. One
thing to be remembered is that differ
ent varieties of the same crop require
different treatment. For instance, the
late maturing, large growing varieties
of cotton are not benefited by late
work. The plowing in such fields should
cease at the earliest practicable moment,
because plowing promotes the very con
ditions which wo wish to check,namely,
a development of foliage at the ex
pense of fruit. On the other hand, as
the tendency of the smaller, qnickiy
maturing kinds is to ceise leaf growth
aud begin to take on fruit very early,
therefore, in such varieties a shallow
center furrow even in August is known
to be of benefit.
PEAS
for forage may be sown all dating this
month. The prolonged drouth of last
summer just at the season when this
crop was maturing, has caused seed to
be scarce and high But the fact that
large o.uantities are being sold aud
sown, shows that at last farmers are be
ginning to appreciate their value as a
forage and as a renovating crop. If
their luxuriant growth is encouraged
by an application of acid phosphate
and potash, tho extra, expense will be
returned in the increased yield of a
most nutritious and convenient food
crop and in tho stored up nitrogen,
which they have gathered from the atr
aud deposited ia the ground.
POTATOES
planted now make smoother aud better
keeping tubers thgu those pat ott ear
lier. Many experienced
cuttings taken from the vines to' slips
taken from the bed, IJon’t commit the
mistake of making these cuttings too
long, three eyes is considered suffi ient
to insure rooting. If cut longer there
will be more potatoes to each vine, but
they will be smaller aud not of as good
quality. If, however, these late plant
ings are to be used for fattening iiogs,
it matters little whether the cutiiugi be
long or short. For this purpose, that is
for fattening hogs, sorghum is a most
valuable crop, but it should be fhd to
the hogs before it becomes too hard,
that is before the seeds become per
fectly ripe. The plantings of this crop
may continue through this month.
Other farm animals beshies hogs are
very fond of it, but care shouid be exer-
When to Sow Onion Soorf.
Question. —When should I sow on
ion seed, say in the latitude of Mu-son,
to make early onions for market the
following spring?
Answer. —Sow, in a well prepared
seed bed, from the middie to till la-t of !
September. When the plants are 2% j
to 3 inches high sot thpiu out in rows 181
inches wide and 4 inches apart in the!
row. If vonr lau.l is well prepared and
highly rniii ated your onion i should be
ready 1 o market early enough ro com
mand agood price. Should the —’s'her
be exceedingly cold in the winter, a
light mulching would be of benefit,—
