A real college home; democratic student life and spiritual atmosphere of highest type, information address Dr.j^jY COLLEGE, Cuthbert, Georgia ^ ’ a ^A.LONE, President, Established 1S54 U-A'Dqe 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 Slip a few Prince Albert smokes into vour system! Copyright 1 I.

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. J. D.
