THE WEEKLY BANNER-WATCHMAN, ATHENS, GEORGIA FEBRUARY 19, 18S9.
MR. NORTHEN’S ADDRESS,
DELIVERED BEFORE THE GEORGIA
AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION.
President Reviews the Canses and
Suggests Remedies for the Present De
pressed Condition of Agriculture
—An Able Speech by a
Prominent Man.
Gentlmen of the ConventiomFor some
time past the press and the people of the
State have been anxiously inquiring into
the financial condition of the farmers.
The investigation has thus far developed
two facts: First, the people in the state
recognise that all else depends for its
maintenance and its support on its agri
cultures. Second, It has been made
equally clear that resources upon which
the fanner relits to furnish this support
are being rapidly exhausted.
THE SITUATION THUS PBESENTED
demands your' earnest thought, your
wise counsel, your intelligent action.The
time may have been in our history when
. we could delay action without censure.
Today people are appealing to- you to
know what of the future. The army
that marches to yictory sends out its
pickets,its scouts sod its advance guard
to know the dangers that beget the way,
and determine wisely and well its plan
ot attack and i*s means of defense. The
vessel sailing over hidden dangers of the
sea frequently lets down its line to sound
the depths beneath, and many times up
on the vast waste of waters' takes its
bearings before it is securely into port. An
eminent divine of this state, beginning a
discourse upon the doctrines peculiar to
to his church said: “It is well occasion
ally to examine into the fundamental
principles of our faith, as the basis of all
Christian character and the holy ele
ment) that nature gives being under God
to all Christian life.” So it is with all life.
He succeeds best who knows most thor
oughly his environments, and makes
himself most familiar with the details
4>f his business in their relation to his
profit and his loss.
YOUB BUSINESS AND MINE
are not exceptions to this rale. We
will succeed as individuals,and as a class
only as we understand the influences
that effect us, and the means that con-
role them. What are the hindrances to
successful agriculture in Georgia and at
the south? I cannot believe there is any
question that demands more imperative
ly your investigation and your solution.
It is a matter vital to you and vital to
me, and vital alike not only to all the
iarmers of the state,but vital to all class
es of our tfizens. In every home, how
ever humble, and in every mansion,how-
ever magnificent, your policy and your
success determine the destiny of the
poor and the rich alike. Have oar en
ergies failed and our possibilities depart
ed? Patiiotism forbids the one, the God
of the harvests is pledged against the
other.
When I had the honor to address yon
at Way cross, I showed from the record
that the wealth of the state had increas
ed steadily since 1679, aggregating up to
that date $107,OOQjOOO. Since that time
the same record shows an additional in
crease in taxable property of fifteen
millions, making a grand total of $122,-
000,000, since the period indicated, all
gained by the professions, the trades, the
manufactures and the industries outside
of agriculture. Those sections of the
State devoted mainly to farming show
A LARGE-FALLING OFF
while other seciions,devoted to other in
dustries, made sufficient increase to cov
er the losses from farming and add $122,-
000,000 to the slate since 1819.
“Ill Jares the land to hastening Ills a prey,
When wealth accumulates *nd men decay;
Princes and lords may flourish or may fade—
A breath can make them as a breath has made
But a hold peasantry, their country 's pride,
When once dest oyed can never he supplied.”
Following up this investigation,! gave
at your summer session what appeared
to me some practices based upon discrim
inations by the government and the busi
ness policy of the country seriously hurt
ful to American agriculture. It
is my purpose to submit to you some
criticisms affecting more nearly
THE CONDUCT OF FABMEBS THEMSELVES
in their management and methods, ser
iously hurtful to the general good and to
the state. Under the action of the ex
ecutive committee of this society I have
looked into tbo causes for depression, as
I have mingled freely with the farmers
1 have inquired into their plans. • I have
informed myself as to theii management
I have learned. In one county in middle
Georgia I iounda farm of 8C0 acres, with
teams and tenants and comfortable cab
ins. On the 10th of January last, the
tenants on this farm had hardly enough
cotton seed to plant the next crop. Not
one peck of corn nor a pound of meat
that was grown upon the place. The
owner of this farm has not seen it in five
years.
A little to the north of this farm, and
almost touching it, is another farm con
taining about 850 acres, ia just the con
dition as the one beforo mentioned ex
cept that it has bankrupted two fermer
owners, who gave no attention to its
tenants. The present landlord has not
seen it it two years. Still further to the
north is another farm of 600 acres. Here
the woods are full of cabins,and the cab
ins are full of freedmen who
LIVE AS THEY LIST
and work as they please. These tenants
consume the products of ono year before
they begin the work of another,and they
enjoy without restraint their indolence
and their inaction. The owner of this
farm has not been upon bis premises in
three years. „ . „
Just a little to the south is a small
farm containing about -200 acres. The
tenants upon this place actually starved
themselves the last twelve months and
another will soon wend bis way to the
boneyard. The landlord in this case has
not seen bis farms for six years. These
farms are not fictions. They have all
come
UNDER MY PERSONAL OBSERVATION.
They are in the center of the state,and
they are representative T “ v “ 11
I shall go no
farther into details than to say of the
138,000 farms in Georgia, 50,000 cf them
are run by indolent tenants in the absence
of the landlords. To each plow upon
such farms are furnished annually about
one ton of guano, forty bushels of corn
and 200 pounds of meat to produce two
bales of cotton, thirteen bushels of corn,
three pecks of potatc es. Fifty thousands
farmers in Georgia are suffering from
their own waste, and by the idleness and
plunder they encourage demoralizing for
miles about them the labor that would be
prosperous. Fifty thousand farms in
Georgia ruining its agriculture,and bring
ing our lands below the recognition of
capita), banks and money centres. Fifty
thousand farms in Georgia destroying
the confide ice of business, and pnttiag
all farmers at a disadvantage in trade
while they indulge an idleness that fes
ters with coruption as foul as putrefaction
itself. Fifty thousand farms in Georgia
spreading the contagion of the social,mor
al and political poison, driving from their
neighborhoods the best classes of our
citizens to seek protection for their
property, security for their families, and
advantages that can never be found
in such surroundings.
When I say that
THE TENANT SYSTEM, .
operated outside of tne personal
supervision, personal control, rigid dis
cipline of the landlord, has been destruc
tive to our system of agriculture, I make
known to you, in my candid judgment,
the maiu cause for depression among the
people. The system has lost millions of
money to the state by its wastefulness;
it has demoralized and ruined the batter
class of labor: it has broken up com
munities and forced our people into the
towns and the cities f *r a living. It has
brought ciuntless acres to worse than
desolation and waste, and covered tho
face of the earth with sadness and decay.
AWAY WITH IT AT ONCE
and forever! Bring the farmers back to
thair homes and their fields again. Let
them control by their superior intelli
gence the labor that is now wasting the
substance of the lands. Under rigid
system, enforce industrious habits and
efficient, good service. Then one great
hindrance to successful agriculture will
he removed, and a great public evil will
be remedied. When this is done we will
give back to the rural districts the school
house and the churches, the centers of
civilization and progressive development.
Catching from these the inspiration of
their influence, a sturdy yeomanry, once
our country's pride, will give strength
and stability to the material interests of
the commonwealth, and hope to the
outlook of the future.
It will be remembered that I am not
considering the elements of failure for
which thefarmeis themselves are mainly
responsible. Prominent among the most
conspicuous is
THE FUBCHASE OF COMMEBCIAL FEBTILI
ZEBS.
Can the farmers of Georgia complain
of poverty when they pay in one season
$5,000,000, for commercial fertilizers.
One third as much as all the money in
vested in merchandise in the state; one
fifth as much as all the money invested
in hoises, mules, cows, sheep, hogs and
goats; five times as much os all the
money invested in shipping; one sixth
as much as it would require to buy all
the railroad property, including engines,
cars, irons and buildings. Since 1879
the farmers in Georgia have paid for
fertilizers enough money to lift the mort
gage from every farm in the state,enough
money to buy all the town and city pro
perty of Richmond, Chatham and Fulton
counties. The recent combines have ad
ded nearly 25 per cent to last year’s
prices, and yre are told that the demand
can’t be supplied If such is the case the
farmers in Georgia the coming season
will pay $6,250,090 for commercial ferti
lizers. 1 ask again
ABE YOU ABLE TO PAY THIS
and live? With a crop product of $67,-
000,000 Georgia spends $5,000,000 fer
commercial fertilizers. Kentucky, with,
a crop product of $63,000,000, about the
same as Georgia,spends only $145,000 for
fertilizers. Michigan,with a crop product
of $90,000,000, spends only $300,000 for
fertilizers. Ohio, with a crop product of
$156,000,000 spends $550,000 for fertili
zers. Tennessee, with a crop product of
$62,000,000, spends $157,000, foj fer
tilizers. Wisconsin, with a corp product
of $72,000,000 spends $170,000 for fertili
zers, or to put it differently,Georgia aver
ages on her farms only $15 for every $1
put in fertilizers, while Kentucky makes
$440, Michigan 305, Ohio 380, Tennessee
400, and Wisconsin 400. Out of this
money none of these states take anything
for corn or meal or meat or mules or
horses, as they raise on their own farms
all that they need. From Georgia's 15 dol
lars, a large per cent is levied on horses,
mules, meal, corn, meat, oats and flour.
For commercial fertilizers Georgia spsnds
as much as Kansas, Kentucky. Michigan,
New York, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas.
With 5,000,000dollars in fertilizers,Geor-
gia cultivates 8,000,000 acres, making an
expenditure of sixty-two cents on every
acre cultivated. With 5,000,000 dollars
in fertilizers, the states named cultivate
81,000,000 acres, making an average
of one-half cent to every acre culti
vated. Georgia makes a crop product
of 67,090,000 dollars, with the same
money in fertilizers. The states named
make a crop product’ of $793,000,000,
more than twice as much as all the tax
able property owned in this state. 1
ask again, can the farmers in Georgia al-
ford to pay 1 dollar to make 15 dollars
while, under a different policy, other
states pay one dollar to make 400 dol
lars? Surely, sorely, these resources of
our state are inexhaustible, or we would
have been bankrupt long since. Ken
tucky, Michigan, Kansas, Ohio and Vir
ginia and Wisconsin have no cotton seed
to supplement their manures, and to re
duce the amount paid for commercial fer
tilizers. The farmers of Georgia han
dled the last season over 6,000,000 dol
lars worth of cotton seed. From this
they could make a much better fertilizer
than any they buy in the market, and
yet these seed were sold for less than
$2,000,000 . -
TO ENRICH A TRUST,
Georgia farmers actually give away
their products to enrich oil mills, sni a cruel wrong if, m this di*cu - ’
then go to these very oil mills tit buy c vered thebright promise of the> •
them ba:k again at an unmerciful price la my candid opinion, farming ii *
put on them by a combination. g a has reached its crisis. *roi
It nmy be that the discriminations «f lime forward the prospect will s
the government are her ful to our inter- briih'en. Never before have tie a
ests; it may be that the exactions of the
tariff draw largely upon our income; it
may be that the merchants are oppress
ive in their charges; it .nay be that our
labor deserves all the abusive things we
say about it; but when farmers recon
cile these extravagant wastes with their
cmpla’nts ab u depression and poverty
it will be a good time to begin our criti
cisms upon others.
Why not be economical and displace a
part of our commercial fertilizers with
barnyard manure? Id only a very few
localities in the State have I found a
proper care and a proper economy in
the use of barnyard manures. Barnyard
manure is considered bulky and unman
ageable, attended with trouble in haul
ing. Our farmers throw it away and
buy concentrated fertilizers for conve
nience of application. Until we are
freed from depression and disaster let us
not talk about trouble, but economize
and work cheerfully and well under the
prospect of success.
I am not prepared nor inclined to ad
vise the abandonment of commercial fer
tilizers, but I do ins : st that they should
be largely disp’a ed by barnyard ma
nure, mould, muck and cotton seed.
Every bushel of cotton seen in Georgia
is worth 25 cents as stock food or nia
nure; whenever they are sold for less it
is clear loss to the farmer, and that much
gain to the man who buys.
With 900,000 head of cattle and suita
ble stalls to shelter them; with 200,000
horses anil mules and good barns to
stable them; 500.000 sheeD and comfort
able folds to pen them; with peavines to
be turned under, and pine straw, leaves
and muck for absorbents, 26,000,000
bushels cotton seed to be crushed and
E ut with this enormous accumulation, or
etter, fed to stock to increase the char
acter and value of the manure, Georgia
farmers would make in mt-nure a money
value of more than twenty million dol
lars that would build up our lands to a
high state of permanent fertility and
abundant yield. All this could be done
and cost but little more than the haul
ing.
MUSTANG LINIMENT
Five millions of money annually saved
on commercial fertilizers; $100,000 put
into your own pockets and not into the
common treasury as inspection fees on
your splendid piles of compost; $6,000,-
000 on cotton seed turned to account on
your own I arms; $10,000,000 or more
created by the proper housing and feed
of your stock—horses, mules, cattle,
sheep and hogs—then Georgia farmers
could be the masters of their own busi
ness and no longer tenants at will. Our
teams and our cattle would be better
cared for, and, therefore, more servicea
ble; our burdens would be lifted as our
debts would diminish and an era of pros
perity vould begin that liens cannot
hinder nor mortgages destroy.
Another hindrance to success, for
which farmers are themselves responsi-
ble, is the annual expenditure of nearly
three million dollars for horses and
mules to be used on the farm. Every
one of them should be raised on Geor
gia soil. Thousands of acres are wash
ing to waste that could be held together
by Bermuda grass and raise colts while
recovering their fertility. Clover and
lucerne do well in most sections of Geor
gia. Our summers are long and furnish
continued grazing for nearly eight
months in the year. Our winters are
short and comparatively mild. A few
acres put into permanent pasture for
colts would add vastly to the income of
^our farms.* I have yet to meet a man
' in the State who has tried the plan of
rais-ng his farm teams who has not con
tinued it with profit.
Will you yardon me, now, I if I get
down a little nearer to the root of the
matter? The probing may be painful,
but if it hurts the wound let the instru
ment go on.
Discussing before an intelligent, prac«
tical gentleman who had ris^n to
wealth by his good management and in-
daVry, the matter I'have been present
ing to you, said he: *‘fhe greatest hin
drance to successful farming in Georgia
is the miserable management on the
farms. Farmers idle their time, delay
•their operations, begin the year on the
first of March instead of on the first of
January, close it the last of November
instead of the 25th of December, work,
when they work a all, five days in the
week instead of six, saunter lazily to the
fitl is tn hour by sun instead of with
the early dawn; lose all the inclement
weather w»th no i-i-dcor work prepared,
and leave to negroes much they ought to
do themselves. “No business,” said he
managed as farmers manage theirs,
could stand the strain.”
Get the farmers to go to work, con
duct their business under system and
with active industry demand of their
forces goed services; study couveni ence
of arra lgement and the proper utiliza
tion of labor, put everything on the bit
and hold it their; drive off the vigabond
labor that does not earn its salt; force
life and energy and action into every
moving thing; put the goad to the lag
gard and keep him to his place and let
everybody go to work and stay at it.
When these things are done, sail he,
“farme; s will make money like other
people.”
“Ditching, fencing, clearing and clean
ing are among the lost arts. If the hills
are going to waste, use the opening and
closing months of the year in recovering
them. Make every day bring in its
treasure, and then every hour will be
like a burnished sunbeam in the golden
glow of your prosperity.”
Accept this criticism u^on your man
agement for what it is worth. Let us.
profit by its suggestions. Labor is hon
orable, no man compromises his respect
ability wl o meets its demands. Let us
have more woik on the farms by the far
mers themselves, a close contact with
our business, a thorough familiarity
with its details, becoming personally
identified with everything that is done,
and we will at leatt justify the
briih'en. .
mers been so determined. All over tbe
State I find them practicing the closest
economy in ever department of the home
And farm; together they are studying
the mistakes of the past, and, together,
ih.*y are counseling plans for the future.
New lines are opening to light; new
methods are beirc adopted, and new
crops are being put upon the markets.
Farmers for years have fought grass,
now they are saving it, Georgia cured
more hay the last season than for any
three seasons before. More grass means
more stock; more stock means more
manure. Following out this agricultural
logic, we have more yearling colts in
Geo**gia than ever before. Nothing I
saw in the State the past year gave such
promise to the future as the o tit shows
held in different sections.
Dairy farms^ I find are multiplying.
One county shipped more standard but
ter last season than was marketed by
the entire State a few years ago. All
the butter we need will soon be made
upon Georgia farms. Tuis industry has
given rise to another in breeding im
proved cattle. It is now a rare thing to
find a section of the State in which there
are not some of the improved breeds of
cattle.
There are new paths upon which our
people are entering with inviting prom
ises all along the way. We are pulling
through a deep morass, but there is hope
ahead. Instinct teaches tbe wild horse
of the prairie, when attacked by wolves,
to put their beads together and turn
their hetls ti the foe. On ns great in
terests hang, and we must be equal to
the demands of the times. Our methods
must be changed. In the divine govern
ment of Judea, God demanded absolute
rest for the land every seventh year.
We have ruthlessly butchered, in reck
less wantonness, our friend; now pover
ty and want leer at us as we cover our
tears in furrows of barrenness. Let us
face about and give Vick to the earth
its fertility, and the grateful
glistening of the dewy grain will
rainbow the promise of God’s approving
smile.
Every man who fills his b»rn with
garnered grain and brings smiling plenty
to bis board is an inspiration to others
and an honor to his State.

To you there is more than a political
aspen iu the race problem that is dis
turbing the country. The negro is . a
necessary factor on your farm. Through
his faithfulness in the field and his skill
in the furrow your superior intelligence
must build up the material destinies of
the people. Help him to know his po
sition in the problem and encourage his
fidelity in its solution. Make of him
more than machine action and brute
power by making known his duties to
himself and his obligations to 1 is mas
ter. Be just and candid iu your con
tracts; prompt and fair in the discharge
of) our obligations; firm but kind in
your discipline and the negro on your
farms will be made profitable and effi
cient.
Again, I say upon you depend the
weal and woe of the people < f this
State. Let us make her interests oi r

The United States Treasury.
The United States treasury is a great
concern. No wonder its head is a busty
man. lie prepares plans for the im
provement of the revenue and for the
support of the public credit, superintends
the collection of the revenue and pre
scribes the form of keeping all public ac
counts, grants warrants for all money
drawn from the treasury and annuuJly
submits to congress estimates of the prob
able revenues and disbursements of the
government. lie also controls the con
struction of public buildings. ( lhe coinage
and printing of money, the collection of
statistics, the coast and geodetic survey,
life saving, lighthouse, revenue cutter,

There are 6ome interesting relies of
the old days in this room. On the wall
is Alexander Hamilton's tariff. It reads:
“Duties payable on goods imported into
tho United States. Act of congress,
July 4, 1789." Only 115 articles are
mentioned, not a very formidable tariff
list in comparison with the present
schedule, which cannot be read to the
senate or house in less than half a day
Here are some of the items from Alex
ander Hamilton's tariff: “Hoots, per
? air, 50 cents. Clothing, ready made.
4 per cent. Playing cards. [»cr pack.
10 cents." (Mr. Hamilton was obviously
eager to collect the tax on playing cards,
for he has them twice in his list.)
“Sugars, brown, per pound, 1 cent, loaf.
3 cents: all others, 1 j cents. Teas. Bo
hea, 6 cents per pound; Souchong or
other black, lOcentB per pound; allTiy-
son. 20 cents; all other green, 12. Coffee
cents per pound.”

There’s nothing like it.
' Last spring, being very much run down and
debilitated, I Brocured some of Paine’s Celery
Compound. The use of two bottles made me
feel like a new man. As a general tonic and
spring medicine, I do not know its equal.”
W. L. Greenleaf,

“Having used your Paine’s Celery Compound
this spring, I can safely recommend It as the
most powerful and at the same time most
gentle regulator. It is a splendid nerve tonic,
and since taking it I have felt like a new man."
R. E. Knorr, Watertown, Dakota.
