,1 the Colorado 1’otato Beetle—Remedy
Fur ltujt on Ito.as—Wealth of Dixie.
Qr f.s r i os. —Please give me in detail
„,e of tlie principal sources of wealth
, south as at present utilized, and
*hv is It, if there is so much wealth as
are led to bolieve, that the country
is not more prosperous ?
XssWKR — The greatest income of the
iouth is derived from cotton and its
products, grain and its products, rice,
sugar, tobacco, fruit, vegetables and
,y products of the pine tree. The
, oa th has also its stock farms, its man*
factoring, mining, merchandising,
building, transportation and other-in*
terests—bringing into the country about
11,300,000.0000 annually. One principal
rfls on that tlie south receives so little
benefit from the vast wealth is that she
spends it with almost absolute unre
straint on other sections of our own
country, and to fill the coffers of for*
eipn nations. With perhaps a few un
important exceptions, the south is abso
lutely dependent on the outside world
for all of the following articles, in which
she invests each year with lavish prodi
gality: Paints, oiis, drugs, buggies,
harness clocks, watches, china, glass,
cutlery, carpets, curtains, stoves, woolen
ami cotton goods, buttons, needles,
thread, soaps, perfumes and other toilet
articles, glowes, dress goods, all kinds of
agricultural implements, chains, nails,
clothiug, furniture for our houses, build
ing materials for our railroads and
transportation lines, for our water
works, for our engines, boilers, electric
appliances, for tlie equipment of our
schools and colleges, and for even the
very commonest sheds that are on
enr farms. We pay millions of
dollars to outsiders for the books
which we road and tor those which our
children study. Lite and fire insurance
companies take millions of dollars out
of tne south each year. Saddest of all,
the farmers pay out many additional
millions for supplies, which they could
just ns well raise at. home. Thus the
south, which is the most highly favored
section of the Uuion in natural re
sources and in opportunities for acquir
ing wealth, pays tribute to the north
mid west and to every foreign country.
Her cotton crop has built up colossal
fortunes at the north. Her lumber
trade has established foreign companies
on a firm basis; the earnings from her
immense deposits of iron and her mar
ble and minerals have gone to swell the
profits of aliens. Of all these immense
interests, which act as acoutiuual drain
on our hard earned income, scarcely 1
percent is located within our own bor
ders. Nearly all are outside and are

blood, which is drawn from onr arter

swer to the latter clanse of your ques
tion stated succinctly is this’ As long as
the south pays out each year for needed
articles more than she receives for her
products, she will be prostrate tinder
the feet of money lenders and sharpers.
She must learn to handle her own crops,
tun her own banks and manufacture
everything needed within her borders.
She must work at home and “board”
there. This is a very simple lesson in
domestic economy, but it has taken ns
over a century to master even its rudi
ments. Tnese have now been learned
ami the south is being gradually eman
cipated. The day of her full deliver
ance is not very far off. She has every
requisite for independence; climate and

for manufactures of every description.

THE ATHENS BANNER: FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 16.1897,
HIS lUSSm.FAILURE
G0pti*n Cotton.
Question.—Is there any need for un
easiness as to Egyptian cotton? Is not
all this agitation about its interfering
with our long staple cotton gotten up
for political effect^
Answer—The cotton trade of Egypt
is ipereaslug very rapidly. The number
of pounds has nearly doubled since
1879—the first year in which we had
official reporta Iu 1879 Egypt exported
270,060,818 pounds. The official report
for 1895 is the latest, and gives the
amount as 521,477,463 pounda The
price has fallen steadily from 14 95 cents
in 1879 to 8.97 cents in 1895. Onr first
direct importation of Egyptian cotton
was in 1881, aud its nse here has in
creased very rapidly. In 1896 we Im
ported directly from Egypt 43,574,760
pounds. This amount, added to that
which was received through English 1
channels, increased the total to about
50,000,000 pounds, or about 100,000 bales
American cotton. In view of these
facts onr growers of Sea Island cotton
have felt mnch nneasinesa The presi
dent of the New York Ootton Ex
change, Hon. Gustavos O. Hopkins,
says that Egyptian cotton certainlr
does compete with our Sea Island or
long staple cotton. Georgia raises two-
thirds of this latter crop, and we are of
course directly interested in any move
ment which tends either to increase or
depress the price.—State Agricultural
Department
Corn Smut.
Question.—Is there any remedy to
prevent the corn smut, which, it seems
to me, is increasing in the last few
years ?
Answer—The remedies for corn
amut must necessarily be of a preventa
tive nature, because from the fact that
the disease enters the plant when
young, gpr&ying with Bordeaux mix
ture and other fungioides will do little
good. Experiments on this line have
been made and the results have con
firmed this opinion. On investigation
it will be found that when the diseased
corn is left in the fleldur on the ground
it will infect succeeding crops, and also
that while smntted corn fed to horses
may not be very injurious to the ani
mals, the spores will be distributed in
the manure and will work- a great
amount of damage. To arrest the dis
ease it will pay to practice rotation of
crops, and also to destroy as mnch of
the smut as possible before it comes to
maturity. Out off the smnt balls and
bury or .burri them before they burst
and scatter the spores broadcast Bis-
sey says: “Where domestic animals
are allowed to eat smnt in the field,
they become the carriers of the spores
and their droppings, filled with the still
living spores, become the centers of in
fection. No animal should be permit
ted to eat smutted corn, even though
the owner be convinced of its harmless-
ness to the animal itself! The harm
lies in the distribution of the spores,
which are little if at all injured by
passing through the alimentary canals
of animals.”—State Agricultural De
partment.
Butt la Wheat.
Question.—Is there any way to pre
vent rust in wheat? There seems to be
two kinds of rust; one attaoks the
blades, the other the stalki, and the
latter does mnch the most damage.
Answer—Yon are mistaken as to
their being two kinds of rust that at
tack wheat. The same rust attacks the
blades and stalks indiscriminately. As
a role the blades are first attacked,
either from their greater susceptibility
or because the stalks have not made
their appearance, when, the spores, or
seeds af the fnngos that produces rust,
first settle upon the plant. Hot, wet

Diseased Q (tineas.
i Question.—Why is it that we so
rarely see a perfect quiuce* these days?
I remember that in my yonth this was
considered one of our most certain
fruits aud the rows of quince trees in
my mother’s garden laden with the
heavy yeliow fruit is still a pleasant
memory.
Answer—Quinces, like-many other
of our fruit trees, have been sadly neg
lected, and the insidious advances of
diseases have been scarcely noticed, un
til they hare obtained such a firm foot
hold as to be very difficult of eradica-
cation. There are font diseases to which
the quince is liable: The Leaf Blight
and Fruit Spot, the Qaince Rust, the
Black Rot aud the Twig Blight. The
first attacks the fruit as well as foliage,
and young qaince trees in the nursery
are peculiarly liable to it The remedy
is spraying with Bordeaux mixture.
The rust attacks the fruit, aud unless
the disease is checked, the young
quinces will be distorted and misshapen
long before they mature. The fungus
of this disease is communicated from
the “cedar apples” . aud “cedar balls”
so often seen on cedar trees, and if these
trees grow near a quiuce orchard they
should be destroyed. Spraying with
fungioides may also be used with ad
vantage.
Tlie Black Rust is more safely pre
vented by clean culture than by fungi
cides, because the disease usually ap
pears when the fruit is reaching ma
turity, and the application of fungi
cides might be attended with danger.
All rotting or mummified fruit should
be destroyed, and after tuecropis gath
ered late sprayings of ammoniaoal solu
tion of copper carbonate will be bene
ficial.

General Impression I* That the Reports
or Success In France Were Circulated
In Order to Iteconelle Citizens of the
Halted States to the Expeudituro of Die
Sum* of Mouer Without Result.
New York, July 15. —A special to
The World from London says: The in
side story of Senator Wolcott’s bime
tallic commission is one of absolute fail
ure. The general impression among
those in a position to know is that the
reports of success in France have been
circulated in order to reconcile the
American public to the expenditure of
large sums of money without result.
The principal Paris newspapers have
referred to the commission in terms
which, while conforming to the rales of
artificial Gallic courtesy, have been not
far from ridicnle.
Le Temps calls attention to the fact
that while France objects to spending
the money necessary to improve her
navy, the United States has money
enough to spend uselessly on a commis
sion intrusted with an impossible mis
sion and costing the taxpayers $500,000.
M. Hanotaux himself is authority for
the statement that the Wolcott mission
absolutely, failed aud could not be ac
complished by any one. He speaks
highly of the members of the commis
sion personally, bnt refuses to take the
bimetallio scheme seriously. He smiles
at Wolcott’s statement that France
would stand shoulder to shoulder with
the United States in efforts to bring
about international bimetallism.

Solablo riio«plioric Aide
Question.—In the analysis of fertil
izers,'phosphoric acid is spoken of as
soluble, reverted, aud insoluble. Please
give me a short explanation of these
terms.
Answer —The soluble phosphoric
acid in a fertilizer is that part that is
perfectly soluble in water and at onoe
ready for plant food. The reverted
phosphoric acid is that portion that
becomes soluble by the action of
water and the soil combined, and
it is therefore estimated as “avail
able” to the growing crop. The
insoluble is so difficult of solution that
it is regarded as of.no benefit to a quick
growing crop, and is therefore consid
ered as having no value in a fertilizer.
In an analysis of a fertilizer the “solu
ble” and the “reverted” are added to
gether and called “available phosphorio
acid,” simply becausi the crops can
speedily appropriate them.—State Agri
cultural Department.
Catting Wheat and Oats.
Question.—Should oats and wheat
be cut before full maturity or not?
Answer—Unless intended for seed
both wheat aud oats should be cut before
becoming fully ripe. By this plan you
save more of the grain, as there is no
loss ttom shattering. The straw is more
nutritious and therefore more valuable
for feeding; and it is eveu claimed that
(he grain so saved contains more nutri
tive qualities than when exposed longer
in the sun. When, however, the wheat
or oats is to be used for seed let it get
folly ripe before harvesting, even at
the expense of losing some of the grain
by shattering and all of the Btraw for
feeding purposes.—State Agricultural
Department.
