WORST DROUTH IN
NUMBER OF YEARS
The Spring Planted Oat Crop
Suffers Greatly.
WHEAT NOT SO UNLUCKY
Commissioner Nesbitt Reviews the
Agricultural Conditions In an Inter
esting Letter to Georgia Farmers
and Once More Points Out the Im
port imee of Thorough Preparntlon.
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, July 1, 1898.
the oat crop.
The drouth which has prevailed for
several weeks throughout the state is
said to be the most severe known, at
this season of the year, for 20 years.
The wheat crop, which is much heavier
than usual, escaped with comparatively
little injury, but the oat crop, particu
larly the spring planted fields, and more
especially those in which the seed were
carelessly put in and imperfectly fertil
ized, has suffered severely—in some sec
tions of tho state may-be denominated a
total failure. Wo need no better illus
tration of the importance of thorough
preparation and fertilization than is
afforded by the yields of this crop
throughout the state. The results of
the long continued drouth have most
fully confirmed the oft repeated asser
tion that successful cropping depends,
in great measure, on thorough prepara-
of tho soil before tho seed are put
In. It has been fully demonstrated that
if we take the precaution of providing a
well stored reservoir in a deeply pre
pared seed bed, then when the demand
for moisture comes, and the grow’ing
plants begin to droop for lack of neces
sary rain from above, Mother Nature
will come to our rescue, and through
the power of capillary action will pump
up from the reserve supply, which we
have stored in lower depths, the life
giving, revivifying moisture so neces
sary for plant growth. Here we have
beautifully illustrated the manner in
which the intelligent farmer may, on
the very brink of failure, wrest
SUCCESS
from adverse circumstances. If ho has
studied nature’s laws he knows that
when the upper soil becomes dry, if
there is a reserve supply of moisture
stored ill the subsoil, the power of capil
lary action will draw it to the surface.
But his knowledge must not stop here.
He must also have learned that it is im
possible to keep this moisture in reach
of the growing plants if a crust is al
lowed to form and remain on the sur
face. When that crust remains and is
unbroken, no power can prevent the
evaporation of the moisture which conies
to the surface through the capillary
tubes. It is the farmer’s province and
privilege to so break up these tubes that
tho moisture may be held in check and
in reach of the growing plants long
enough for them to absorb its life giving
properties before they become dissipated
into the atmosphere. To do this he
must by constant
SHALLOW CULTIVATION
keep a thin mulch of finely pulverized
surface soil spread over his fields. The
mau who thoroughly understands tho
importance of this principle will never
allow a crust to remain on his land
longer than he can run a shallow, broad
furrow to break it up. The need of this
rapid work accentuates the importance
of wide cutting plows and expanding
cultivators.
JULY *
has often been called the “pivotal
month,” because if the work is not
carefully planned and adjusted much of
our previous effort will count for naught.
In “laying by” our crops we should re
member that tho network of delicate
roots just beneath the surface porme
ates the entire held and that we should
be as careful to avoid injuring these as
we are to prevent the breaking and tear
ing of the leaves and stalks above the
ground.
DURATION OP CULTIVATION.
Plowing at this season should be reg
ulated very much by the habits and
condition of the different crops. For
instance, work in tlje late maturing,
large growing varieties of cotton may
cease sooner than in the shorter limbed,
early maturing kinds, because when the
growth of these large varieties is thus
checked they begin to take on fruit,
which they would not do to the same
extent if tlieir luxuriant leaf growth
were encouraged by continued cultiva
tion. On the other hand,if the smaller and
quicker maturing varieties are develop
ing favorably, a shallow center furrow,
even well into August, will be of bene
fit. We should always keep in mind
that the object of plowing at this sea
son is not to break the soil to any depth,
1 inch is enough, but to keep down any
incipient weeds or grass, to check evap
oration ami to promote the access of air
to the plant roots.
OTHER WORK FOR THE MONTn.
Peas for forage may be sown until
the last of July, and if encouraged by
an application of acid phosphate and
potash, will store up in the soil for our
future use the third and most important
as well as most expensive element of
nlant food—nit raven. As wo have timo
ana opportunity wo snouia also decide
on our full camjiaign, what crops we
will giant and what fields apportion to

SYSTEM OF ROTATION
must recognize certain fixed laws. The
most important of these is that crops of
like growth and habits, extracting
the same elements of plant food
from tho soil, in similar proportions,
should not follow each other, but should
be succeeded by those which, while de
manding tho same elements, will absorb
them under different conditions and in
different proportions, thus in a measure
equalizing the draught upon the re
sources of the soil. In considering the
FALL CROPS RYE
should be given an important place. It
not only furnishes firstclass green food
for the cold months, but as a renovator
and accumulator of humus, can
not be too highly prized. It is
hardy, and besides performing the
above important offices, it acts
as a stay to the winter floods, which
otherwise rush over our bare fields.
September is early enough to sow any
Of these fall grain crops, but July Is
none too early to plan for our wheat,
oats and rye fields. A pea stubble is a
firstclass beginning for either wheat or
oats, as both demand a full supply of
nitrogen. If rye is sown on the pea
stubble it continues the work of reno
vation began by the pea crop, and when
turned under in the spring lays the
foundation for bounteous crops of either
corn or cot ton.
R. T. Nesbitt. Commissioner.
CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Dry Weather Injures Corn and Cotton
Is Somewhat Retarded.
COTTON.
Throughout the state the cotton fields
are well worked and -free from grass.
The stands are fairly good and the
plants as a rule healthy. On account of
the dry spring tho growth has been
somewhat retarded, and the weed is not
as large as it should be at this date. No
reports of lice or other insect enemies as
yet, and with plenty of rain for the next
six or eight weeks the crop may turn
out well. The cotton plant needs but
little rain in the earlier stages of its
growth, but as it takes on fruit abun
dant moisture is required for its proper
growth and development, and a further
continuation of the dry weather of the
past six weeks would prove almost
ruinous.
CORN.
This crop has been injured by the dry
weather, particularly so in the southern
portion of the state. Tho rains have
been very partial, some localities being
favored with an average fall, while oth
ers in the same neighborhood have seri
ously suffered. There has been no gen
eral, heavy rainfall covering the entire
state, during the year; consequently
rivers have been low, branches and
creeks have dried up, wells have failed,
and in some places it has been difficult
to get water for any purpose. Of course
the crop has suffered more or less under
these circumstances, and will bo un
doubtedly cut off to a considerable
extent. The fields, however, have been
well worked and are clean and in good
condition, and with abundant ami im
mediate rains, Middle and North Geor
gia may still make good crops.
OATS.
This crop has been a disappointment
to those who planted in tho spring, tho
want of rain rendering the crop, in
many cases, worthless. Fall planted
oats did very well, as a rule, though
they would have turned out better with
more raiu in April. I again advise
farmers to plant at least half of their
oat crops in the early fall. The chances
of their being winter-killed are less
than tbe chances of the spring oats
being ruined by a dry May.
wheat.
This crop has been harvested, threshed
and I hope sold. In many years tho
state has not made a better or more
abundant crop, and I trust- that tho
farmers of the wheat section of Georgia
will feel encouraged by this year’s ex
perience to engage still more largely in
its cultivation. Since harvesting com
menced the price has steadily dropped,
but I trust that the wheat growers of
Georgia received not less than $1 a
bushel for their crops.
MINOR CROPS,
such as corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes,
rice, etc., have all felt the bad effects of
a hot, dry spring. General and abund
ant rains arc required all over tho state
to bring those crops out so that an aver
age yield may bo expected. Gardens
and pastures have been badly injured in
every county in the state. Recent
showers have caused a little improve
ment in both, but general and heavy
rains are necessary to bring about any
marked improvement.
FRUIT.
Peaches and watermelons are being
! marketed, and the prospect is good lor
an abundant crop of each. Watermelons
! so far are small, for want of rain.
! Peaches will be small also for the same
I reason, and because of overbearing.
The berry crops have all been injured
[by dry weather. Grapes promise to be
abundant. Apple crop poor. —State

Replies to Questions.
Question. —I would like to know
something more about vetches. Some
time aco I read vour article on this nh
ject, ana us I wish to experiment a lit
tle on this line I write to ask if it is
advisable to sow now, or would it be
best to wait until fall? If we can get a
certain crop that will give us green food
in the late winter and early spring one
difficulty that the farmer has to con
tend against will he overcome, and if
this can be done with a nitrogen gath
ering crop, which will at the same time
benefit tho laud, farming at the south
will have mado a long step forward.
Answer. —ln tho southern states
vetches should be sown in the late sum
mer or early fall. The hairy vetch is
preferred for our climate and should be
sown from the fciddle of August to the
middle of September, according to sea
sons. Spring vetches seem more par
ticularly suited to northern latitudes,
indeed, have proved a signal failure in
our climate. Hairy vetch will stand a
good amount of cold and drouth, but it
does not like a damp soil—any excess of
water is very injurious to it and it
sterns to prefer a sandy soil. At
tho Mississippi Experiment Station
heavy annual crops nave oeen realized 1
from a peico of land sown in 1888, which
has never been reseeded. Stock is
taken off and cuttings cease in March,
the plants mature and scatter thoir-seed
over the ground, which begin to germi
nate with the first fall rains. If the
crop is intended to be cut for forage and
is sown broadcast, about a bushel of
winter oats, or rye or wheat should be
gown at the same time. These will
furnish a support for the vines and pre
vent them from trailing on the ground.
The difficulty of cutting the crop prop
erly will thus be obviated. When cut
for hay the plants should be in full bloom.
The kidney vetch is another variety,
which is recommended for poor, thin cal
careous or very sandy soils, which will
not support clovers or better forage crops,
but from the result of experiments with
it it cannot bo recommenfled ns of much
value. The hairy vetch, however, has
a high indorsement. Stock are very
fond of it. It has a high feeding value.
It may he cured for hay, or pastured,
and is a most excellent plant for soiling.
When once fairly established it with
stands drouths and extremes of temper
ature. Most of the seed are imported
from Europe and as yet are high priced,
which is the chief present difficulty in
tho way ot its general introduction. Its
onltivation is, however, increasing, and
we hope to see the day when the much
needed green crop, to fill up the hiatus
between late winter and early spring,
will be found in the vetches of which
so little is now generally known. We
would like to know the result of your
experience if you decide to try the ex
periment this fall.—State Agricultural
Department.
Sorghum as a Forage Plant.
Question.— ls sorghum a good plant
for feeding green, and for making hay ?
If so what variety would you recom
mend, and how to plant and save ?
Answer. —Sorghum is a most excel
lent forage plant to fped either green or
to save as hay. It does best on rich,
loamy soils, but will do well
on any soil that will produce fair crops
of corn or cotton. Prepare the land
well, and bed as you would for cotton
in 3% feet rows, using from 300 to 400
pounds of a complete fertilizer. About
cotton planting time open a shallow fur
row and drill the seed—from a half
bushel to three pecks to the acre. Cul
tivate shallow and often. When grown
for forage it is not necessary to thin
out, though thinning is very essential
when the sorghum is grown for syrup
making. The "Early Amber” and
‘■Minnesota Early Amber" are excellent
varieties, as are alsotLe "Early Orange”
and “Kansas Orange.”
Sorghum will do better on thin soils,
and will stand drouth better than corn.
For making hay, cut soon after it begins
to bloom and put up in small shocks
until cured. For feeding green, cutting
should be begun as soon as the plants
begin to form heads. Stir the ground
with a cultivator or plow immediately
after harvesting a crop, and the sorghum
will continue to grow and make a
second and third cutting. Feed but
little at first, increasing the amount
day by day, until the stock become ac
customed to it. State Agricultural
Department.
About Subsolllng.
Question. —Is it not injurious to laud
to subsoil at this season? lam a young
farmer, but I have always heard that it
was dahgerous to bring the clay to tho
surface after tho late fall or early
winter.
Answer. —You are under a misappre
hension as to the meaning of subsoil
ing. This is not a turning of the clay
to the surface, but it is the breaking up
of the subsoil at the bottom of the fur
row, and learing if there. This may be
done by following, in the bottom of the
furrow, which is made by an ordinary
plow, with a long narrow “scooter,” or
a “bull tongue.” Or it may be accom
plished with one furrow, made by a
subsoil plow, constructed especially for
this purpose. In either case it is simply
breaking up the lower soil, which is
not reached by an ordinary plow. This
plan will expose it to the action of the
air, will drain it of surplus water or
make it more retentive of necessary
moisture, and by thus increasing its
porosity or powers of absorption will
not only regulate the moisture for the
use of crops, hut will bring into service
its heretofore locked up and insoluble
elements of plant food.—State Agri
cultural Department.
Bean Rust.
Question. —Last year my beans were
attacked by a disease, which my neigh
bors called bean rust. When I discov
ered the trouble it was too late to pre
vent the damage. It seemed to be more
on the pods than anywhere else, al
though a large per cent of the leaves
eventually bocame affected. The little
round spots first appeared on the pods
when about half grown and the pods
turned dark and seemed to shrink up
around those spots. Sometimes they
wore pink and again red. If there is
any way of preventing this I want to
begin in time this year. What is the
disease, and is there any remedy?
Answer. —The disease which yon de
scribe is authraenose, and tho best pre
ventive after the beans are planted is
Bordeaux mixture,with which the plants
should be sprayed. But a hotter pre
ventive still is to plant only bright
plump seed. As the disease lives in ti e
seed from one season to another, all
seed should be carefully examined and
only the perfectly sound ones used. All
which are shriveled or imperfect should
be rejected.—State Agricultural Depart
ment.
f Handling Lute Potatoes.
Those who have rather late ground
on which potatoes are to be planted will
find it worth while to sprout the seed
now. Merely set them in a warm,
light plac e and let them send out, shoots
aoout n inches l£>ng. As soon as ths
ground can be worked plant the pota
toes, handling them carefully, so as not
to break off the shoots, allowing oue
sprout to each piece of seed. In this
way potatoes can be raised on late land
ns Foon as on early land by the ordinary
method. —Exchange.
< hrnilcal Weed Destroyer.
Professor Shott of the experiment
farms at Ottawa, Canada, recommends
the following veiy simple compound for
destroying weeds and grass: Two
pounds of sulphate of copper, or blue
vitriol, and 6 gallons of hot water. Dis
solve and apply as a spray, or through
an ordinary sprinkling pot.
He Did Not Recoenise Whey.
The special correspondent of a well
know'll trades paper furnished a most
satisfactory laugh aw’hile ago for a
friend of ills who lives up in northern
New York state, and he does not know
it yet. He had gone up the state to visit
some mill or other, ami the before men
tioned friend volunteered to drive him
over to his destination. Now, whilo the
special correspondent has a wonderfully
general fund of information he knows
little about the country, ami when they
were passing a large cheese factory ho
exclaimed: “Why, there’s a creamery!
Just wait a minute while I go in and
get a drink of buttermilk.”
With this ho jumped out of the car
riage and entered the building. My
country friend says that whey is not
pleasant to take and that even the pigs
won’t eat it. But w'heu the special cor
respondent asked for buttermilk the
people in the factory gave him a big
glass of thin, aciduous liquid, which he
swallowed down at a draft. The drive
was then continued. The special corre
spondent seemed to be very thoughtful.
Ho finally exclaimed in his explosive
fashion:
“Weil, Smith, I don’t know W'hnt
breed of cows you raise up hero, but
that was the damdest, buttermilk I over
tasted. ” —Paper Mill.
Two Steps Rt a Time.
One evidence of the ever hustling char
acteristics of the average New Yorker is
shown on the stairways of the up town
station of the elevated railroad at Park
place and Church street. The steps of
these stairways are covered with rub
ber, but every other step has large iron
rings imbedded iu tho rubber.
This was caused by tho fact that- the
New Yorker is never content to wait
even one minute for a train, end that
when he hears oue approach'.;’; is lie is
at the foot ot the stairs lie will ush up
the stairs two steps at a time hoping to
catch tho train.
Asa result the elevated railroad offi
cials noticed that the rubber matting on
every other step was wearing out twice
as quickly as the rest. For a long time
they pondered as to tho cause, and one
day Manager Fransioli solved tho prob
lem. To know was to act in his case,
and tho steel re-enforced rubber now
lasts if anything longer than the or
dinary mats on the other steps. —New
York Sun.
Cotton,
