To the people of Georgia:
So many inquires have reached
this office from all parts'of the
state regarding the effect of the
excessive rains on our crops,
that in the interest of the farm
ers and the general public, I
wish to make known the facts
as they have come to us from
different sections.
Information comes to us from
some sections, particulary Quit-
man and adjourning counties
asserting that a large portion
of the cotton crop in that terri
tory is damaged more than 50
per cent. This attributed both
to the boll weevil which has at
tacked the cotton and to the ex
cessive rains which have wash
ed over it in many places and
covered it up. Where the cot
ton is standing the fruit is fall
ing off in great quantities.
Similar report comes from
other sections of South Georgia,
but in some instances cotton
does not appear to have been
damaged so much. But all ot
the corn on creek, river and
branch bottoms is practically a
total loss.
Information from North
Georgia, particularly from around
Rome, is that almost all bottom
land corn has been washed
away and the farmers are earn
estly seeking information as to
what is best to plant tor a quick
crop on the most valuable lands
they have.
Buford and surrounding terri
tory report that corn on the
Chattahoochee river and all
creek bottoms has been complete
ly covered by water. Previous
to the floods this corn was good,
the letter states, but further
says there has not been “such a
clean sweep in many years, not
since the United States Govern
ment issued rations in this sec
tion some 25 years ago.” In that
section it is stated 90 per cent
of the bottom land corn is gone
and many farmers will be forced
to buy corn for bread. Buford
aslo reports cotton very spotted.
Early planting secured a gcod
stand and looked well, but
where planted late the cotton
spotted on account of the drought
both in plant and size from six
inches up to blooming. The
writer states that it is a bad
year on grey lands and that all
crops are grassy. It has rained
so long that the grass has
spread from the middle to the
rov/, and it is going to be diffi
cult to eradicate it.
Such is the information coming
to the departmect from nearly
all sections of Georgia. It is true
the damage varies, but where
before the rains the crops all
over the state were promising,
there has been such injury that
the department is impelled to
state that there is at least 35
per cent damage to cotton and
from 15 to 20 per cent damage
to corn, because so much of the
corn crop is a total loss.
The federal government should
issue another crop statement
as soon as possible. The recent
rains have not been confined to
Georgia but covered the entire
cotton belt east of the Mississi
ppi, and up through North
Carolina, which, in our opinion,
means a good price for cotton
this fall. There always some
“sweet with the bitter.” If we
would make our home supplies
and raise a short crop of cotton
as we shouln every year, there
is no question that we should
get more money tor it.
The boll weevil has been found
not in one, but, as I am informed
in a number of southwest Georgia
counties. It is said wet weather
is the very life of this insect.
Outside of the rain damage we
must figure on the weevil, too,
as a contributor to a short crop
in this State.
While it is getting pretty late
to sow peas on any kind of
land., wouldn’t it be a good idea

• Aiti
for Georgia farmers, as soon
as possible, to put all of this
good bottom land into early
Amber cane or early white Cali
fornia peas. Then you can mow
it for hay with the grass that
comes up with it along in the
latter part part of September.
We had better think of these
things. The department is much
distressed over the reports
which are comming from all
parts of the state, for our early
prospects for a good crop were
certainly very bright. We do
not seem, however, yet to have
reached the end of the wet spell.
Reports reaching the depart
ment as to crop prospects indi
cate that Georgia will yield
about 10 per cent less cotton
than in 1915, when the crop was
a short one. Based upon these
reports and present conditions.
Thi9 Department estimates the
Georgia crop will not go over
1,600,000 bales and if anything
will be less.
Geogia still has many an acre
of fine corn, not withstanding
the heavy loss to this crop in the
bottom lands. The upland corn
is in good shape and of that
which is left there will be a
good yield.
This department is anxious to
get in touch with those in every
county who are willing to mail
us weekly reports on crop con
ditions and the cattle industry.
We will be glad to hAve any
who are willing to do this, write
us at once and a supply of blanks
will be sent. them. W r e want
the true conditions in every
county as we desire to give the
Georgia public accurate infor
mation regarding crop conditions
and prospects.

ture, Georgia.
