In presenting our people with this issue ef the Journal we desire to call 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.

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.

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 JEWELLVILLE.

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 ‘ , > E N OUUII AN 1) Alt E VU T TANARUS() VERY AWKWARD SHIES F O R \Y A NT O K SOM E.” 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 newspaper; and The Weekly Constitu tion, with a circulation of 156,000, it occupies the unique distinction of be ing the greatest.

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.
