How important, then, that the plan of culti ration should, bo • such ns to conserve ©very influence of heat and light and air to the best develpment of the plant. Before this talk reaches the farmors in the.more southern portion of tho state, tho corn crop will nave been “laid by,’/ but in middle and norther Georgia much of tho crop will have to receive another working. This difference is even more marked than usual because of tho very unpropitious weather (lur ing portions of April and' May. As a rule the last working should bo given to CQrn just as tho stalks bunch to tas sel. For this purpose, arrange your scrapes to run as level qs pocsiblo, and where you can possibly inanago to do the work sow PEAS broadcast, and whilo you may receive no benefit in the shape of matured peas, you will bo-repaid .in tho*fertilizi:i<£ properties which this crop has deposit ed in your soil, and your land will be put in better condition for succeeding crops.

The Atlanta Herald criticirea the verdict in the Porter .Stocks case. tO COIlCTJ pursued a tivo plan.* The time at which cnltiva tiou should cease, depends eo much oi tho character of tho land and its gen eral condition, that it is impossible t lay down any fixed tiiiio for the suspeu sion of this work. When, however, tho fruiting sense; arrives, the fields being in good tilth tho cultivation having boon such as to best appropriate the elements .of growth and development, it matters whether you have plowed your crop three times or six times, you have reached the period when further culti- ation may result in harm. On old aud very stiff land I hare sometimes seen good results from a plowing lato in July, but where the conditions aro favorable it is best to ‘lay by” early in July. Tho effect of commercial fertilizers has been to lias- ten tho maturing of tho crop and thus materially shorten tho crop season. This month also finds us with SMALL GRAIN to be harvested, which is a heavy draft on the resources of tho farm, and unless arranged for with carefnl forethought, entails much inconvenience. As t farms aro usually managed tho harv comes when every nerve is strained in taking earn ’ of the other main crops, and unloss additional labor can ho pro cured, loss must follow. If a inov can bo hired and your lands admit of- use, savo tho grain with that. But if it is necessary to use cradles as many are compelled to do, additional help must be hired, bocauso-the regular force must be kept at the cultivated crops, Shock carefully and cap securely, thus avoid ing the waste which too often results from careless hasto in these' important particulars. By careful management the harvesting can go on, and the other crops receivo their due share of atten tion. The work is imperative and ex feting, but by prudence and .forcsighi any clashing of duties may be avoid* ' and tho general work of the farm mo' On undisturbed. Continue to put out POTATOES, you can’t havo too many, and if yc can’t seir them in the tall, put them away carefully—the methods for doing this we will discuss later—and soli in the spring, vyhen they always command a good prico.

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.
