The entertainment or “Kom
mick Koncert” at the academy P'ri
day night, February 16th, was a
successful and a very entertaining
affair. Notwithstanding the very
unpleasant weather, the house was
well filled and all were highly en
tertain and and well paid for the in
vestment. The programme was
a good one nd well arranged, and
each one from beginning to finish
did well. Rev. C. A. Jamison was
master of ceremonies. The open
ing chorus was simply grand,show
ing the musical talent of King
ston was first-class. I will give
the programme as well as I can
remember, not being furnished
with a copy. It was as follows:
After the chorus, reading, “Goin'
Somewhere,” Mrs. H. I). Goldwire;
song. “I Once had a Sweet Little
Doll,” little Miss Susie Rollins;
‘‘City and County Beaux,” panto
mime; song, “A Turned Down
Page,” Mrs. H. D. Hill, of Rome;
recitation, ‘‘Easter Carroll,” Miss
Mitchell, of Rome; pantomime bur
le que, “George Washington and
the Hatchet;” solo, "Alabama
Coon,” J. N. McKelvey; recitation,
’‘O’ Grady’s Goat,” Mrs. J. M.
Davidson; ‘‘Gypsey Duet,” Mr.
and Mrs. H. J. Jolley; recitation,
“What Broke up de Metin’,” Miss
Mitchell; solo, “Will You buy my
Roses, Red,” Mrs, McKelvey; pan
tomime, "Wives for Sale?’ recita
tion, "Language of Children,” Miss
Mitchell. The receipts at the door
amounted to about twelve dollars.
Mrs. Jamison is entitled to much
credit, with her co-workers, in mak
ing the entertainment such a pleas
ant occasion. All express great
thanks to Mrs. Hill and Miss
Mitchell, of Rome, for the great in
terest they took in the entertain
ment, and would be pleased to have
them visit Kingston often.

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it —heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vita! organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood—the albumen
—leaks out and the sufferer has Bright'*
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder
and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed. At druggists in filty-cent

Present Condition of the Orchard!
In Georgia.
Last year the writer visited most of
the commercial orchards of the state,
once in the early spring, just after the
February freeze, and again in the Vote
falL The effect of the ireezo, eombioed
with the exhaustion caused by the
enormous crop of the preceding year,
was very trying on bearing peaches and
plums; aud indeed, at one time It was
thought that a large per cent would
perish. The wideawake growers, how
ever, at first excited and discouraged,
went to work 10 give the tree# every
possible assistance to recover. The
work of pruning was the first step
Weak branches were taken cut, and a<
a rnle about one-third of the tops cm
away. Tnen the cultivators were set to
work and kept at it throughout the
summer i-easou. In some cases, espe
cially when the condition of the biud
demanded it, fertilizers were used. Thu
effect was wouderful. The tree, came
out aud made a luxuriant growth aud
were enabled to withstand the drouvit
to which many trees not so treated had
to succumb.
Many orchards, however, were neg
lected, in part if not wholly. Some
pruned but did not cultivate. Otner*
did noither. Such neglected orchards
sustained beawy losses and thoosends of
trees died
The orchards that have been properly
oared lor are in excellent condition.
The trees are mil of fruit bod* aud if
one tenth of these bud* reach maturity
we may ex,-cot a good orop ot fruit.
The Sau Jose scat* that escaped lost
winter's treatment took advantage ot
the summer season and multiplied very
rapidly. Trees that were nearly clean
in the spring were Ladly encrusted iu
the falL Bui the work of treating in
fested orchards is being vigorously
pushed tbis winter and the scale w
fairly well under control. The scaie
situation is not so serious as it was a
year ago.
SOME WORK FOR WINTER AND SPRING.
An orchard requires attention in win
ter as well as summer. It is well that
the work is so divided that the men
will have something to do in waiter
“while they rest.”

Hon O B. Stevens, Commissioner:
Dhak Sik—l have the pleasure to
pre.-ent to you in the accompanying ta
bles, analyses of 19 samples of Georgia
wheats. This work was undertaken
last fall at tae suggestion of Mr. W. G.
Cooper of the Atlanta Journal, who
kindly procured the samples of wheat
tor me. I think it well to bring the
matter to the attention of the readers of
your monthly talk, both for the purpose
of increasing their interest in wheat
growing, to show cueni they can grow
as fine wheat in Georgia as is grown
anywhere in the world, and further, to
put such of the farmers as desire to for
ward samples of their best wheat So the
next state :air on notice that careful
analyses will be made of these samples
similar to those given in the table at
tached, showing the comparative food
values of Georgia grown wheat. I as
sure you I do not think the samples the
analyses of which are given in the table
couid be caned “picked” samples, as
mauy of them showed evidences of im
perfect cleaning from chuff, dirt, etc.,
and yet I propose to compare them with
wheats which may fairly be assumed to
have been carefully selected. The wheat
to which our wheat is compared in the
accompanying tables was sent to the

Ac-ording to the rules for ascertaining comparative food values adopted by the judges at

rail'd at 109.25
The averages of the samples exhibited at World’s Fair would have been rated at 108.54
cage lor exmuHiou. It may fairly l<-
supposed that eaoh exhibitor sent thr
best he had. The analyses of these
wheats wore made bv or under the su
pervieioa of the chief chemist of the
United Stoles Department of Agri
oulture. Dr H W. Wiley. The meth
ods dekeribed by him, as u*ed in hi*
analyses, were carefully followed in the
analyses of the Georgia wheat.
At your request I will give a brief ex
plauaiion of the terms used in the
analyses, so that they may be better un
derstood by those interested in the
work.
First, the samples were ground to a
flour, outer coat and all, in
stoppered bott.es. From these bottles
suitable quantities were weighed out
for analyses.
The moisture is the loss in weight
suffered by the sample on drying it at a
temperature of 213 degrees Fahrenheit.
The albuminoids, or protein, are found
by estimating the percentage of nitro
gen and multiplying this by 6 35. The
albuminoids are so called because they
resemble in their chemical character al
bumen or white of an egg. Thar are
also known as protein, and constitute a
very important element of the wheat
Wheu assimilated by the body they
make leau meat or muscle, and nourish
the blood. The albuminoids, or pro
tein, are the most valuable and expen
sive constituents of our food.
The either vxtraot consists principally
of the oil or fat in the flour aud is ob
tained by repeatedly extracting the flour
with ether, which has the property of
dissolving oil or fat. The oil ie assimi
lated by the body as fat and also pro
duces heat aud energy in the body. The
carbodydrates of wheat consist princi
pally ot starch with small quantities of
sugsrs and a little fiber. They are con
vened inio sugar in the body aud also
produce heat and energy and are a
source of fat. They are much more
abundaut than protein, and conse
queutly much cheaper. The ash is the
mineral matter of the flour and sup
plies phosphorus and mineral salts to
the body. The dry gluten usually bears
a pretty constant relation to the per
centage of protein, the samples having
the highest content of dry g men also
show the highest percentage of protein.
The moist gluten also usually varies
with the percentage of total proteid
matter. This is an item of special in
terest to the baker. A wheat with a
high percentage of moist gluten will
prodace a flour of more value to the
laker thau one with a low content.
Mich flour will make bread, rising bet
ter. giving a larger aud more porous
loaf uud also retaining a larger quantity
of water than flour with a low moist
gluten. Such a fi< ur is very va nubia
to tiie baker. The g utinous matter of
wheat is what so especially dintiu
guishes it from the rth>-r cerea grams
as a bread maker. The giuniKus mat
ter entangles in its meshes t.-ic g.t-es
produced during th proot-8- of ferineri
tatiou or “rising,” and noids them,
n:iking the loaf “light” an i p- rons
By studying the accompanying tables
of aaaiyses you will see that, whiie
some of our Georgia wheats are defi
cient in the valuable properties enu
merated above, others are w r ell up to
and above the standard set by the ave
rage or wheats exhibited at the World’s
Fair in Chi ago
The states showing a higher average
in the vamabie constituents of the
wheat than Georgia were Marne, Mon
tana, Nebraska, Wyoming, Scuta Da
kota, Wi.-cousin, lowa, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Kentucky. Tnoss
lower being Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Michigan, Oregon. Washington and
North Carolina. Georgia. New York
and Kansas are so nearly on a parity
that a distinction can hardly be drawn.
It has been staled by an officer of the
United States department of agricult
ure that the poorest wheats were grown
in the southern states. Whilst this
statement may be true, for the locali
ties from which the samples were ob
tained, on which the statement was
based, it certainly is not true for such
sections of Georgia as are ret resented
by the samples tent in by you. It is to be
regretted that a wider area of the state
could not have been covered in the pres
ent investigation and that fuller in
formation was not furnished by the
growers, as to yield per acre, nature
and amount of fertilizer used, etc
Replying to ycur inquiry as to a rem
edy for weevils in wheat or corn, bi-
uipbide of caroou is regarueu with
most favor A little is poured into
shallow dishes aud plaoed on top of the
grain In the covered bins, cover with
oilcloths to retain the vapor. Keep bins
or building* closed from 24 to 86 hours
Disimect infested grain in small bins
before plaoing in large masses for long
storage Care shcu.d be exercised, as
bisulphide of carbon is very inflamma
ble. Tours truly,

State Chemist.
This investigation will be ooutinued

A GREAT CROP OF WHEAT.
Stut* Agricultural UrpirllllKiit Hours
1-ruin Georgia Kaim^rs.
From all indications Georgia will this
year wake a record as a wheat growing
state, that her people will be proud of.
For several weeks past information has
oeen coming to the agricultural depart
ment from almost every section of the
state going to show that the people
have determined to raise more wheat
than ever, aud have planted accord
ingly.
Colonel R. F. Wright of the agricult
ural department, in an interview in the
Macon Telegraph, says the whole state
i6 becoming stirred up on the subject of
small grain crops, and that he attrib
mes the increasing interest in this
branoh of agriculture to the constant
and persistent efforts to show the farm
ers the necessity of raising more wheat,
oats and other fall crops.
Articles urging the planting of more
wheat, which have from time to time
appeared in publications sent cut from
the department of agriculture, have been
reprinted iu many agricultural publica
tions aud some of these publications
have been leprmted in agricultural
monthlies which have extensive circu
lations in Georgia and adjoining states
Tne increase in the acreage of wheat
and the fact that the farmers have se
lected some of their best land for wheat
and oats this year, has a significance
which is of interest at this time. It
points to the fact that as the acreage of
wheat has been increased on lauds here
tofore planted in cotton, the acreage of
cotton will be decreased this year, ow
ing to the fact that this very land is
growing wheat and oat crops, which in
many instances will not be gathered in
time for the same land to be used for
cotton.
Should it happen that the winter sea
son should kill these crops, then these
■ands will no doubt be plowed up and
put in cotton. But tbis is believed to
be hardly probab e, as the indications
are at present and the chances are that
the state of Georgia will gather au un
usually large crop of wheat next spring.
