When, however, tho fruiting sense;
arrives, the fields being in good tilth
tho cultivation having boon such as to
best appropriate the elements .of

whether you have plowed your crop
three times or six times, you have
reached the period when further culti-

On old aud very stiff land I hare
sometimes seen good results from a

materially shorten tho crop season.

* .General Remark*.
Notwithstanding tho fact that tho
temperature during.the month bas
ranged very low crops, with the excep-
tibn of cotton, have pot suffered and are
looking well. Tho warm weather that
has been interspersed with the cold
days and nights has donemhOh to. se
cure- this result Several storms of
special severity have passed over locali
ties especially in the eastern portion of
the state causing' considerable destruc
tion tofences, buildings' and crops, and
the high winds that hare prevailed in
nearly every section of the state have
blown many peaches and plumbs from
the trees.
COTTON.
As noted {his crop has suffered most
from the prevailing weather conditions
and in many quarters poor stands are
reported as a result of the cool nights.
However, tho plant has great recupera
tive powers, and the increased heat that
has prevailed at intervals has had the
effect of invigorating the plants that
survived the cold. A comparison of the
tabulated statement for the same period
last year does not show a gratifying re
sult and tho prospect is not as good’ as
at this timo last year. In several of tho
larger ootton counties correspondents
noting the various reports that have
issued since tho report from this
department emphasize the lAct that in
their counties no increase has been
made in the cotton acreage. From per
sonal observation and predicated upon
reports we do not at this time see that
either the acreage or condition prom
ises in Georgia a mu,ch greater yield
this year than last. We would rather
that all reduction was the result of
cutting down of the acreage and none
tho result of crop failure and sincerely
hope that our farmers realizing their
situation will not again permit them
selves to be confronted by so largo
production beyond the demands of con
sumption.
WHEAT.
reference to tho tabulated state
ment shows an encouraging condition
reghrda this crop. Compared will
last year the yield promised, judging
from tho harvested area, and the
dition of the standing crop, a? in nerti
’Georgia 08r, middlo Georgia and
tho state'103. Two successive yi
successful raising of this crop ought to
induce onr fanners to study the best
methods of cultivation and
sort to thorough instead of super
ficial preparation. Usually cfassifie 1
side instead of a main
crop wheat culture in Georgia has not
received the attention it merits and do-
serves. In our last report we called at
tention to the adaptability of so much
of our soil to this cereal, and we trust
that thoughtful consideration of tho
matter will, year by year, seo
creasod acreage and better methods,
We doubt not that a study of the
Causes of failure, and avoiding them,
will, except when the year is unusually
disastrous, assure a fair yield.
OATS.
The weather during the mouth has
favored this crop, and the rains early
tho month have bad tho effect of in
creasing the yield. Here again wo
would call attention to the fact that if
a larger yield of oats is desired, mors
care than we are aecustomed to bestew
should bo taken in the preparation and
fertilization of the soil.
Compared with an average, the pros
pective yield for the state is 07 3-5.
CORN.
gard to this crop tho most flat
tering conditions exist, aud, while bud
worms have done considerable damage
in localities, on Jhe whole the outlook
is promising. With the increased acre
age In corn asregarQttnampn, vre are
fast moving to a self-sustalmng position.
Reports have been received at the de-
parmont of a number of farmers in
lower Georgia who have corn sufficient
and to spare, and of an increase of the
largo number usual in north Georgia.
With the increased yield in corn comes
an increase in our meat product, which
comes in further on the road to inde
pendence.
MELONS.
Tho reports to tho department and
tho compiled figures of the Melon
Growers’ association sho^a decrease in
the acreage in melons. Whilo as a money
crop and a sourco of diversification the
department lias b'- u inclined to en
courage planting. \ jt tho reduction wo
believe to bo a cause for congratulation
to the melon growers, as a .glutting
of tho market always results disas
trously to tho producer. The condition
of tho crop is fair, though the cool
nights have not been favorable t6 the
best development of the plant. Tho
crop is now being laid by, and shipping
will commence in about two weeks, the
Florida mol on already having made its
appearance in the market.
PEAS.
Before closing this report we desire
to call attention to pea planting and to
urge upon our farmers the necessity of
putting in between the farrow and
other land os large a crop as possible.
Tho cow pea is essentially the legumen
of Southern Georgia where clover will
not flourish. Iu tho renovation of land
it plays a scientific part as do all.legu
men and has the power possessed by
no other germs of plants of, adding
free nitrogen to the soil. I? iogen or
ammonia as it isxlassed by tm/depart-
xnent, is the most expensive of plants
foods and its artificial supply to plants
does not give th? satisfactory revolt

man. The process of restoration when
sqII is reclaimed by its ordinary vege
tation is alow, by these crops rapid and
complete. ‘When-the farmer can with

tho product! _ enoss of his soil it would
