•lent manure, yet
ii it xilable must
The great majority
those which contain
Iy hold a large reserve
of potash, and do not appear to require
the special application of . potash as a
manure. Light sandy soils on the
other hand, and some clay soils also
appefir to be quite deficient in potash
and are much benefited by applications
of that fertilizer. Soil* of this na
ture, therefore, stand as much In need
of constant potash manuring as of
phosphoric acid and nitrogen applica
tions.
Wood-ashes, whilst they may be
cheap and easily obtained in countries
where large forest areas are to be
otoared, in older countries con not be
so easily obtained. Long before fer
tilisers bfrcamt a oommsrolal commod
ity, "RSod-aSies were highly thought of
by farmers. But usually when a farm
er buys ashes, h# buys in the dark,
owing to ths fact that ashos vary so
widely in their contents of potash. As
a rule, the ashes from hard wood* are
richer in potash than those from soft
woods. The ash of the red oak, for
Instance, contains about six per cent,
ef potash, that of ths hlokory about
nine per oent., some pine woods about
four and a half per cent. No definite
percentage, however, can be laid down
for any special wood, as the same wood
will vary in different localities, and
wood of different parts of the same
tree will vary, the ashes from ths
twigs and young Kmbs being riches In
potash than the aehes from the body
or trunk of the tree.
It is impossible to fix Che value of
a lot of ashes, except by special analy
sis of the particular lot, owing to this
great variability in composition, and
swing to the farther fact that the ashes
may 4 hare been leached or mixed with
mors or lees dirt The average analy
sis for good ualeached ashes may be
taken as five per cent, of potash, one
and one-half per ceat of phosphoric
add, sad thirty-two and a half per
cent, of lime. According to the values
ter fertilisers adapted for the present
season, a ton of good average ashes
at the coast should be worth four dol
lars and fifteen cents. This calcula
tion allows no value to the lime, al
though, of course, It has a decided val
ue on such soils as are deficient in it.
jm-Miy aince the middle of the last
eeatury, fanners have been no longer
compelled to rely on ashes as a source
of potadh, but have eome to adopt in
tfcstr stand almost universally what
are known as tho German or Dtaasfurt
potash salts.
These salts are mined in Btassfurt
In northern Germany, in the province
of Saxony. They were discovered by
the Prussian government while boring *
for rock salt about the year 1M7. At
first they were considered worthies*,
but boob the great Chemist Iieblg be
gas publishing his discoveries con
cerning "’ant growth and antritlon,
shewing potash te be an eagieUal and
much-needed element In &e growth

to the development of the potash
mints, and :*« ut'Uzatton ter agricul
ture of the precious salts contained j
In them. The first potash salt
work* for the manufacture and sale of
the potash -alts was established in
Btasefurt in l&.*2. Some of the crude
ores are suited for agricultural use
Just as* they are dug r "vn the mines,
and are known as ksiait, carnalltte,
sylvlntt. The kainit contains on an
average of about twslrs and a half per
cent, of potash, ths carsallite about ten
per cent, and the sylvinit sixteen per
cent of potash. Ah there is a great
demand ter these products ail over the
world, and *he fr'~V"ve to long dis

tirahle to concentrate the potash i*»

The fruit industry is now assuming
large proportions. We estimate tha
Georgia has more than 15,000,' v
peach trees bearing fruit and many
more young trees coming on. Much
attention is now being given to the
apple, especially in North Georgia. In
a few years many large apple orchards
will be yielding as fine fruit as can
be found in any State, unless we ex
cept famous Virginia. For the past
year much attention has also been
given to trucking and the smaller
fruits. • —
Mor*e and better farm machinery of
all kinds are now being used than
formerly. This partially flUs the gap
caused by the gradually growing
scarcity of labor.
In spite of the reduction of com
mercial fertilizers used under cotton
and the decrease in Tcreage the past
season, our State will make, at least,
an average crop of cotton.
We will make a good com crop, but
our small grain and field pea crops
are far below an average. Our hay
and forage have yielded abundant
crops, which were saved in fine con
dition.
Sweet potatoes, sorghum and cane
aro all good.
Our live stock are In fine condition.
Hence we have much for which to be
thankful.

It is my judgment that the farmers
' of Georgia plant too many acres In
cotton. I do not mean tbat they are
making too much cotton, but that in
stead of planting 25 or SO acres to
produce ten bales, they should by care
ful selection of seed and by thorough
and scientific preparation, fertilization
and ci'”lv-iinn make ten acres pit*
duce tea or even more bales. There
are men in Georgia who have done
this, and w-iy cannot hundreds of oth
er' on *»’■»♦ .is go..i. larc do t‘ a same?
it v 1 t .* more to make one acre
i- 1 -> one bah of eotton then to
cuitivt two, three or four acres and
get o~* 01.3 bale.
Our Georgia farmers suffer more
from "arrity. of labor than from any
th-ng ?lse that I know of. Since it
equ’ twelve months to make a
crop • 'otton, it is recessary to find
