A Year of Progress.
There is no doubt that this
bo a year of great progress in
Georgia. Already there arc sign
of it all over the state. The peo
ple have gone to work in a hope
ful spirit and with renewed ener
gies, and they'appear to lmvo en
tered into a compact to do their
best for Georgia in this year of
grace and democratic glory.
Tho newspapers in every city
and village are calling attention
to the state’s advantages and
I inviting the investment of capi
tal. Excursions from western
stales are bringing in settlers,
and our idlo, hut fertile, lands
will soon become fruitful mid

After awhile there will ho Imt
little idle land in Georgia. A
state so rich—so prolific in re
sources—must attract tho capital
that will be a mighty factor in
its development.
‘Let tho good work go on.”
It has been well begun, and the
close of 1893 should witness the
most wonderful progress in every
branch of industry. The people

The amount of suffering caused
by the liquor traffic renders it an
unlawful article of trade. Every
good citizen who claims tube law
abiding should put his best efforts
forth to stop this unlawful trade.
If (his curse is not stopped,
what can wc expect of the rising
reiterations? Cun we promise
them good society, schools and
churches? Ask yourself these
pmstious, as you see men and
boys go staggering through your
streets, from tho ripe old age of
sovonty-five, down to the tender
youth of fifteen. Look at the dis
grace Unit is being brought on our

goes whence no one has ever re

uiimlate property by a course of
trade which fills the land with
beggars and widows and orphans,
which peoples the grave-yards

the world with victims of despair?

Monthly Talk With the Farmers
of Georgia.
LOail STAPLE COTTON.
Since the introduction of commercial
fertilizers and their judicious use on the
light sandy soil of lower Georgia, it has
been domonstratod that the long staple
cotton can be grown successfully in all
the lower tier of counties, and as this
commands more than double the price
of the short staple, I would advise its
cultivation in that section. There is
certainly money in it to the farmer who
will give it the proper care in both cul
tivation and gathering. 1 knew of in
stances where farmers havy made a bale
to two acres, and have received frein 20
to 23 cents per pound for their crops.
What could wc substitute that would
pay a larger per cent per acre? The
seed will deteriorate, but if we are suc
cessful in producing a fair crop, this
difficulty can be overcome by the intro-
3 St Hon of new seed every few years.
High fertilization counts as sensibly on
this crup as any that we plant, nnd as it
is a large grower it requires great die-
tance. Should any farmer wish infor
mation as to seed, etc., 1 will cheerfully
aid him.
TOBACCO.
About n year ago great Interest was
manifested in ttie cultivation of tobacco,
and some neighborhoods became greatly
excited over the reports of fortunes
being made in the production of this
crop. In my addresses and in every ar
ticle I have written on this subject, 1
have advised a conservative confer-
The ri . ults . the past season establish
beyond a doubt that good tobacco can i
be grown in Georgia. Both bright and j
mahogany wrappers of good texture can |
be made. But in many instances far
iners have made tiie mistake of planting
too large a crop of only ono or at tie-
outside, two varieties, and ns tho result
of inexperience and other attendants on
a new industry, tho tobacco has turned
out unmarketable.
THE PROPER PLAN
in entering on this, to us. untried indus
try, is to experiment with small patches
of" several (Intercut .varieties, nnd ac
quire the necessary knowledge, not only
for the cultivation, but for tho curing
of the crop. Everything depends on
proper handling of the crop after it is
made. Tobacco is different fr >m cotton
tn this, that tho wide margin in prices
is duo solely to the condition of the to-
banco marketed, and is not influenced
by. combinations or speculation. The
following table approximates prices, and j
gives an idea of the wide difference be
tween poor and good samples.
