Atlanta, March 1, 1899.
Since my last letter we have had mo*t
unfavorable weather for farm work.
Hence but little ha* been accom
plished upon the farm* during the
month of February.
The ]tanning of the old year ha* car
ried with it a sad experience for many
of us, in our farming operation* and
business transaction* generally. The
new year was ushered in with the usual
good resolution* by our farmer*; in fact,
the'majority of us are trying to do bet
ter in the future by correcting the mis
takes of the past. It is to be hoped that
the present year will mark the begin
ning of W^atjnky be rw^rded as a new
era; that the sniouWalri&embers of for
eign war and interagjl^jfnsensions will
be aiuipably adjusted, and our nation
will settle down to business onoe more,
witb a future so bright that the average
mind will but partially comprehend the
magnitude of its results and possibilities.
The new y«Sr is remarkable in more
than one respect. It brings us not only
face to face with new and strange polit
ical questions, but the long hoped-for

conditions, we have had many hard
ships aud set-backs, but much of it has
been our own fault. We have the rem
edy in our own hands for many of our
troubles. Will we apply it, and apply
it now? As I see it, the remedy lies,
plies at home, ample aud sufficient; then
raise as much cotton as you can. When
your barns are full, your mules will do
a good day’s work. Your cows give
milk, aud your butter is sweet, rich and
of a golden hue. Your hens lay every
day, aud your hogs are healthy and
prolific. But when your barns are
empty, your mules have the lampers or
blind staggers, your cows have hollow'
horn, the feathers on your hens are
turned the wrong way, and your hogs
get lousey and have the mange.
1 speak to the farmers from practical
experience. I was born and reared in
Southwest Georgia, in the heart of the
cotton belt I belong to your profes
sion, am on# of you, and I know
that uo man iu that section can
produoe cotton at the present price,
to the neglect of his plantation
supplies. He canuot keep up his
farm, support his family aud educate
his children. You may take the best
farmer in Georgia, let him adopt this
plan, and it will only be a question of
time—the end of that man will be bank,
ruptcy. Do not misunderstand «ie. I
am not against the production of cot
ton as a product, because Georgia is a
cotton state, and we need a cotton crop
as well as other products, but uot to the
exclusion of other crops. Therefore, let
me beg you, once more, to arrange and
diversify yonr crops, so that this fall we
may arrive at the gates of prosperity, to
see stretched peacefully before ns the
broad, rich and sonny fields of industry,
laden with the golden frnits of con
tented toil—a picture, as well as a
reality, which all the people of Geor
gia will ha jg^vith joy.
There liasTieen u great deal of com
plaint, in a general way, that the in
spections aud analyses of fertilizers, af
ter all, have been unsatisfactory. I
have, therefore, determined to make
complete aud t borough inspection of all
guanos, in every section of the state.
To this end, if at any time a consumer
or retail agent may desire an in
spection of any brand of fertilizer, he
can, by giving notice to this depart
ment, have a sample taken by an au
thorised inspector, and the same shall
be analyzed by the state chemist; prflr

vided, however, that in all such cases
samples shall be taken front unbroken
bags or packages. The consumers pay
the tax on guanos,aud it will be my pleas
ure to see that they are amply protected,
aud it shall be done, eveu though it
take all of the fertilizer tax to accom
plish it. All I ask is the co-operation
of the farmers of Georgia.
In the face of a short corn and forage
crop the farmers generally, throughout
the state, bad determined to sow more
largely of grain, but the weather condi
tions have been very unfavorable for
both fall and spring seeding; hence the
acreage both for wheat and oats falls
far short of what we at one time ex
pected. The spring sowing of oats has
been seriously damaged, and in many
aectious entirely killed. Of course, this
is a heavy blow to the agricultural in
terests of Georgia; but we must meet
(liese conditions as best we cau by sub
stituting such forage crops as are best
suited to our soil. I would suggest the
planting of an acre of sorghum, an acre
of rye, au acre of millet, an acre of oats,
an acre of early speckle peas for a for
age crop. Use the best land at yonr
command, with special care in the prep-
arat 011 of the soil, and manure liber
ally. You can increase or decrease the
size of your lots us your needs may sug
gest. These crops ran be cut in the
green state, as you may need the for
age, aud allowed to dry a day or so be*
fore feeding.
As farmers are from three to five
weeks behind with their work, especially
plowing, many suggestions made in my
February talk will be applicable for tiffs
mouth’s work—hence, I would ask that
you read again our last month’s “Talk,
as well as the questions and answers
therein contained. Do not, in your
haste, plow your lauds too wet—neither
will it pay to plant corn until you have
thoroughly prepared your soil for the
grain. I would rather be two weeks
late.in seeding my crop, with the land
well broken and bedded, taking special
care to put in compost or commercial
manure, than to plant the usual time
with the ground hastily aud ill prepared
and the grain and fertilizer put in in a
careless manner. “What is worth do
ing at all, is worth doing well,” applies
with peculiar force to farm work.

As to Onion Planting.
Question.—Will you please inform
I me how many onion sets I will tieed to
plant one acre in onions? I would be
[ glad to have any information in regard
| to onion plaining, culture, harvesting
| and marketing the same.
Answer.—The-onion crop is regarded
as one of the most profitable of the gar*
den. It is usually grown from sets
sold in buuches in the green state; how
ever, many gardeners raise their own
sets and save the expense of buying
them. This can be doue by selecting a
poor piece ol laud, pulverizing the soil
with a plow, harrow aud rake. It will
take about four pounds of good onion
seed to plant one acre if yon have a
machine, otherwise, it will take a little
more' if you use the band. Sow in rows
abont nine inches apart. Skip every
seventh row. This will form an alley
18 inches wide. As yon want a small
bnlb, sow thick. Take up the sets, say
about Aug. 1, well dried, place in your
barn ItAc, spread out not more than
four inches thick. Wheu frost comes
cover with straw or hay about six iuches
deep. I11 the early spring you have
your own sets for use.
As you want, now, the biggest onion,
you want the best soil at your com-
maud. Broadcast aud plow in wen-
rotted manure at the rate of 75 tons per
acre. Again, your preparation of the
soil must be thorough and deep, and
the land pm iu perfect order. Plant
se^ in rows 9 inches apart, leaving
the seventh row for an alley. Place
sets in the drills at the distance of 9
inches apart, pressing the bulb firmly
down, right side up. Close the rows
with a rake or the foot Roll the
gronud well and make it compact. As
soou as you can plainly see the onions !
begin to start up, use the hoe in the j
middle, and where you cau not use the |
hoe, use the fingers in breaking the >
ground abound the plant Two or. three
good workings, if doue at the proper
time, will be sufficient. It will take
from 6 to 10 bushels of sets to plant
an acre, depending upon the size of the
sets.—Staie Agricultural Department

Question.—I want to plant
Question.—Is the San Jose scale more
dangerous in the Bouth than at the
north?
Answer.—This pest is much more de
structive in the south than at the uorth,
owing to the longer breeding and feed-
i ing season afforded it by the southern
‘ climate. In'Georgia, the scale lies dor
mant only about two mouths—from
Dec. 15 to Feb. 15—leaving it ten
months in the year in which to multiply
few
at a very rapid rate, and prosecute its
acres in upland rice. Please give me i destructive work of sapping the life of
some information on the subject. the tree. Even daring the dormant pe-
Answer.—It is a matter of surprise riod there come days warm enough to
that more upland rice is not planted in
Georgia, as it is a healthy food product,
liked by most people, easy to raise and
productive in yield. Any land snitable
for corn or cotton will answor for rice,
though new ground is preferable be
cause of greater ease of cultivation.
Prepare the land well, lay off rows 15
inches apart, use a good, complete com
mercial fertilizer at the rate of 200 or
300 pKnnds to the acre in the row
and cover it so as to leave a low,
flat bed.* When danger of frost is over,
open a shallow fnrrow aud sow the seed
either in a continuous row, or what is
perhaps better, drop 8 or 10 grains every
10 or 18 inches iu the row. Cover
lightly, cultivate shallow, only being
sure to cut down all weeds and grass,
as rice is a tender plant when young
and is easily crowded out by any other
growth.
Harvesting shonld be done when the
upper half of the head is ripe. The straw
will then still be green, and after cur
ing makes fine forage for horses and cat
tle. Cat and place the “hands” on the
etnbble to dry. In 84 hoars of good
weather it will be snfficiently cured to
tie iu bundles and house or stack.
Never tie in bundles while the straw is
damp. The grain can be separated
from the straw either by flails or thrash*
ing machines. The great difficulty
with most farmers is the cleansing of
the halls from the rice. This can be
done in a wooden mortar with a wooden
pestle, but this process is very slow and
laborious. Small rice mills can now be
bought for about $300, and there should
be one in connection with every large
ginnery in the state. The knowledge
that rice could be cleaned for a moder.
ate price would very much encourage
the growth of this valuable grain, and I
believe such mills would be profitable.
By planting aqd cultivating as di*
rected, the crop should yield, with aver
age seasons, from 15 to 20 bushels to the
acre.
Rice is the principal food crop of
more than half the people in the world.

In January, 1898, infested peach twigs
were received from Danville, Ga., on
which living young were crawling pro
fusely. On Feb. 14, 1899, specimens
were received at this office from Cairo,
Ga., and upon examination they were
fonnd to be breeding. Ou March 8, 1898,
I inspected au orchard iu South Georgia
and found the scale breeding freely on
plum trees. From this almost incessant
breeding aud feeding it can be readily
understood that the Sau Jose scale is
more dangerous in southern climates
than at the uorth, where the period of
Its destructive work is cut short by the
oold of winter. v
Again, the peach trees being more
susceptible to injuries of any kind than
almost any other orchard tree, and since
the peach is the'principal fruit grown
in this state, we snffer more from the
ravages of the scale than other states
that grow apples aud other fruits that
are more resistant.
With us peach trees are entirely killed
in two seasons after they are first at

an orchard of 1,000 8-ytar peach trees
at Pine City, Ga., and after careful
search found ouly six trees infested
with the San Jose scale. No treatment
was applied to this orchard, and,on
Nov. 16 of ihe tame year I visited it
again, aud found one-third of the trees
entirely-crusted over with the scale and
In a dying condition.
Iu view of these facts, with other
similar cases, we must conclude that

the north.—State Entomologist.
Knlsliig “Broom Coro.”
Questio\\ — I have decided to grow
“broom corn” for the market.
Please give me all the infor
mation aloug this liue possible.
Answer.—This plant is a variety of
“sorghum, ” aud a native of• the East
Indies. The introduction of this plant
is attributed to Dr. Franklin, who, find
ing a seed on a whisk broom that had
been imported, planted it, andfrom this
originated the culture of “broom corn”
in the United States. The average pro
duct of brush per acre is about 500
pounds. There has been produced from
very fine soil aud locality as high as
1,000 pounds per acre.
As there seems to be no substitute for
broom corn brush, there is always a de
mand for it, and it is a crop that can be
easily cultivated, it is a prontaoie one
for the farmers to raise in those sections
to which it is well adapted.
The seed make very good food for
horses when mixed with oats. It is
also flue food for poultry after the
chicks are two or three weeks old, when
fed with other food. When ground
with our common Indian corn in pro
portion to three bushels of broom com
to one of Indian corn, it makes good
food for cattle, hogs or sheep.
Generally speaking, broom corn grows
best where our native com grows best,
and the preparation of the land is similar
to that for c«rn. Good river or branch
bottom laud is best suited to this plant;
but any good land well drained will,
with barnyard manure, or a good fer
tilizer, make a good yield. The better
plan is to broadcast the manure, plow
and harrow the same so as to pulverize
the soil thoroughly. Plant in the drill
or in hills. The rows may be from
three to four feet, according to the va
riety to be grown; the dwarf varieties
in three feet rows and the larger varie
ties in four feet rows. The hills may
be two or three feet apart. When the
seed are sound and well-ripened, two
quarts will be sufficient to plant one
acre. Be sure to get good seed. You
can use the seed drills that will plant
small seed, or if only a few acres are to
be planted, yon can plant with the
hand. The cultivation is similar to
that of corn, only yon have to use more
care and skill because of thd'smallness
of the plant. Thinning shonld be done
when the plants are two or three inches
high, leaving five or six in the hill, or if
drilled, the stalks shonld be left three or
four inches apart.
As to the harvesting and caring of
the broom com, I will take pleasure in
advising yon later if yon desire such in
formation.—State Agricultural Depart

Georgia’s First Colton 311II.
Question.—Can you tell me where
the first cotton mill was established in
Georgia, also give me any information
touching the early manufactories and
the progress of the same in Georgia?
. Answer.—The first factory estab
lished in Georgia was built on the Oco
nee river, 4 miles below Athens, in the
year 1827. This enterprise proved suc
cessful, aud was soou after followed by
mauy others iu the same county (Olarke)
and in Green, Richmond and other coun
ties. From small beginnings these en
terprises have in late years developed to
considerable magnitude, and with a pe
cuniary success that points to them as
agents of a most prosperous era iu -the
history of our state. The splendid wa
ter powers of the Savannah at Augusta,
and the Chattahooohee at Columbus,
could not long fail to attract the atten
tion of a people alive to their own inter
est aud to the geueral welfare. Georgia
has great advantages in this respect
over the New England. states, which
have heretofore manufactured most of
the American cotton and wool fabrics,
but the dawu of a brighter day has set
in, and we see from year to year capital
coming this way tp onr beautiful south
land. Manufacturers are now convinced
that the place to manufacture cotton
is on the ground floor where the cotton
is grown aud produced, and sooner or
later, the whir of the cotton spindle
will be heard from the top of every moun
tain, as well as from every valley in our
beautiful Empire state of the south.
Here, we have no ueed of the middle
man or transportation Wages are much
less here than iu the New England
states, the cost of water and steam
power is less bui ding material of every
kind is less, living ex pen-os are less and
thecliiuate is more favorable The wheels
are seldom c <>g_oii or obstruct# 1 by ice,
the consumers of our products are at our
own doors,ami for these reasousalone the
manufacturer of cotton must and will
come southward. There is still room
for greater si rides along this line than
Georgia has made iu the post, and
yet she has done Well.
Just how many organized cotton mills
ther#are now iu operation, we are un
able to sav, but more than a decade ago
we had more than 50. We also have
mauy wool factories, paper factories,
iron foundries, flour mills, gold quartz
mills and st_mp mills iu operation, and
ruilri ad shops, locomotive and car fac
tories, carriage aud wagon, boot aud

Spraying For tlie Pest.
Question.—Owing to the continued
rains, I have been uuable to spray a sin
gle tree since Christmas. How late can
I spray for the Sau Jose scale, and mast
the per cent of oil be diminished as the
bnds advance?
Answer.—Twenty-five per cent of
kereosenu is the strength to be used
against the San Jose scale during the
dormant period, and"this can be used in
the spring until the fruit buds begin to
open. Iu the spring when the tree be-
gius to grow it is even in better condi
tion ti resist the ill effects of the kereo-
seue. It is invigorated and enabled to
throw off (he oil that might penetrate
the bark. It is not safe, however, to
spray with any per cent while the trees
are iu fu'.l bloom Tbe kereosene would
burn the petals and injure the fruit
After the bloom is shed the spraying
can be continued with a 15 per-cent
mixture. A greater per cent would
likely burn the tender foliage. The 15
per cent strength will kill a large per
cent of the scale and check its ravages
to a great extent. If the orchard has re
ceived the 25 per cent winter treatment,
however, it should uot be necessary to
commence the tutumer treatment eo
early. Every favorable day up to the
blooming period should be utilized in
spraying infested trees with the zb per
cent mixture. It is important that
bright, sunshiny days be selected to ap
ply the treatment, otherwise the oil
may penetrate {he bark of the trees and
Injure them before evaporating.—State
Entomologist.

What shall we do for spring and sum

Answer.—It is not too late tQ sow
the Burt or the White oat—can sow on
good lands (branch bottoms and well-
manured plots) nntil March 11 with fair
success, but advise that farmers
should not depend entirely on oats for
forage. Our plan would be to plant
sorghum. (Early Amber is best) millet,
(German and Cattail) milo maize, Kaf

to rash the crops and afford plenty of
