WORTHLESS GUANOS
HOW FARMERS AKE PROTECTED
KROSI SAME 15Y THE
STATE LAWS.
ANALYSIS IS PROVIDED FOR
Commissioner O. li. Sievens Points
Out Steps That Tillers Should
Take to '1 Invurt Trickery.
Question. — Ilow are the farmers pro
tected from spurious guanos *ud wnat
steps can be taken to have our guanos
analyzed and procure information con
cerning these goods be:ore we have to
pay for same?
Answer.— This department \% s es
tablished to protect the interest of the
farmers, and to give information on all
subjects pertaining to the agricultural
interests. Under the present laws which
govern the sale of commercial fertili
zers few, if any, manufacturers or man
ipulators would attempt to sell spurious
articles to the farmers of this state.
Ihe envirouments placed upon the sale
of fertilizers are adequate and of such
character that render it almost an
impossibility to pass off shoddy goods
upon the purchaser. It is true that
& geuts in their desire to sell often rep-
r ßent their goods to run higher than
their guarantee, but the farmers are
m ach to blame for their gullibility in
taking for granted that the goods are
*hat they are represented by overzeal
°us agents. When farmers pay no at
tention to the guarantees that are
Printed on the sacks of every brand, il
I 8 fault, if they are deceived as to
lts value. The law requires that each
® a ck shall have the braud printed upon
tt. also giving the analysis and the guar
an tee of each ingredient that goes to
ma ke up the total amount of plant food.
Of course strict attention should be
to the minimum guarantee and
u°t the maximum, as the manufactur
crs try to give enough of each ingredi-
CQ t to go above the minimum guaran
ee, go as to meet the requirements of
fke law, therefore the minimum guar
antee is the only thing to which we
should pay attention. After the goods
purchased, then the law comes to the
r scue of both the purchaser and seller.
The law requires the manufacturer ta
r -gister the name of the goods, the
na uie of the manufacturer, the place
"- ere manufactured and the guarantee
, M k at amount of plant food with this
apartment before they sell or offer for
, a e an T °f their brands. After the
Mids are registered, the law requires
- tnanufacturars to give ’the coinmis
* oQer of agriculture notices eaoh day
of every sack of goods sold or consigned
to parties in this state, also to give tho
names of the parties to whom sold, and
where said goods are to be delivered, so
that every sack comes directly under
the eye of the commissioner, and he
can send inspectors to find the different
brands in all portions of the state. The
samples are taken by the inspectors and
are sealed by them and sent to the com
missioner. They are then numbered
and recorded in this office and sent to
the chemist. The state chemist ana
lyzes these goods, and they are returned
to the commissioner by number. These
reports are then recorded, and go to
make up the bulletin which is sent to
every one from whom a sample was
taken and to all who ask for them. Be
sides this plan of procuring samples, 1
have issued a circular letter through
the newspapers of Georgia stating, that
if any person desired a special analysis
of his guano, that if he would send me
a request, I would send an inspector to
get a sample of the goods and make an
analysis of it. The law requires that
if the commissioner sends in a sample
to the state chemist, it must be taken
by a sworn inspector, and only from un
broken sacks or packages. As soon as
the chemist can analyze these goods,
the results are sent directly to the per
sons for whom made.
Under the Ellington law, every
farmer can demand that a sample shall
be taken of the goods he purchases al
the time of the delivery for the party
from whom he buys his guanos. Thil
sample shall be taken by both the seller
and buyer, delivered to the ordinary,
and he will seal it in their presence and
make a record of same. If for any reason
the purchaser believes that his crop is
not benefited by the use of said fertilizer,
he can have the ordinary to send the sam
ple to the state chemist for analysis, and
if the goods do not come up to the
guarantee, the purchaser need not pay
for them. Thus you see the many pre
cautions thrown around the sale of this
article of commerce.
(1.) Register the name of the manu
facturer, where manufactured, name of
brand and the amount of plant food said
brand contains.
(2.) Purchase tags for same, and place
them on the sacks.
(3.) Notify the commissioner of agri
culture of every sale or consignment.
Give name and address of each pur
chaser or consignee.
All of this information is required to
be given, and is filed and recorded.
Should they fail to do this, the seller
not only subjects himself to noncolleo
tion for the goods, but also to prosecu
tion for misdemeanor.

Culture of Upland Rice.
SUESTiON. —Please give me some gen
information in regard to the culture
of upland rice.
Answer.— The following pi in is prac
tically that of W. H. Dickey of Abbe
ville, a successful grower of upland rice:
Low or hammock land is preferable for
the planting of upland rice; in order to
guard against drouth, however, the soil
should not be wet. Brea>k the laud deep
and close, and use the harrow if there
are any clods, then use the small plow,
and trench y. ur rows about 24 to 80
inches apart. Put in the drills 200 to
800 pounds of good commercial fertil
izer, or barnyard manure can be used
with good results if well pulverized.
Drop the rice 12 to 14 inches apart, put
ting 12 to 20 grains in a hill, and cover
the same with a fork plow.
After this is done, the rice can be cul
tivated with very little trouble. Plow
shallow, using the scooter and scrape,
and about two workings will be all that
is necessary. One bushel of rice will
plant from two and one-half to three
acres, which oil good land and proper
seasons will yield from 25 to 80 bushels
of rough rice per acre. One bushel of
the rough rice, when husked, will yield
about 25 pounds of beautiful white rice,
which has au excellent flavor, and is
considered by many to be far superior
to any other rice that can be found on
the market.
If planted in April the rice will be
ready for harvestipg about Sept 1, and
as the head ripens before the straw,
you get from one to three tons of excel
lent hay per acre.
Mr. W. H Dickey of Abbeville, Ga.,
has about 20 bushels of this upland rice
that he will sell for $1.50 per bushel,
sacked and delivered to freight or ex
press office on receipt of said amount. —

Treatment of Fruit, Trees Injured by
the February Freeze.
Question. —To what extent did the
February freeze injure the fruit trees of
Georgia, and is there any treatment for
frozen trees?
Answer. The unprecedented cold
wave that swept over the state last Feb
ruary greatly injured fruit trees in
many sections of the state, and it is
highly important that such trees should
be properly treated at once, that the
damage may be overcome as much as
possible.
Peaches, plums and figs have suffered
most, while apples and pears seem to
be very little damaged. Of the peaches,
the Alexanders and Tillotsons are the
most injured. All of the other varie
ties are greatly damaged, but to a less
extent.
In a great many cases the Satsuma
plum was nearly killed to the ground,
while the Abundance and most of the
other varieties are not so much dam
aged. The damage seems to be confined
almost entirely to the bearing trees.
Young trees from nursery stock to 2 year
orchard trees have escaped with little
damage. Unfortunately the principal
injury is to the trunk of the trees. The
bast tissues and the cambium layer of
the bark are frozen and blackened from
the surface of the ground up to 12
inches or more, and in a few cases the
bark is loosened from the trees. Us
ually, however, there are about 2 or 3
inches of bark on one side of the tree
that escaped freezing. This green streak
of bark is usually found on the
south side of the tree. In some sections,
however, it is found on another side.
The twigs and limbs are apparently not
so badly damaged. The wood just be
neath the buds is browned, and some of
the twigs killed. In iny opinion most
of these trees may recover and be re
stored to a fair condition. This, how
ever, is a question. Many will undoubt
edly die in the course of this summer.
Trees that were badly weakened from
the Sau Jose scale, or from the depre
dations of other insects, or from neglect
or otherwise, in most cases were killed
beyond a doubt and should be dug up at
once. The work of restoration can be
greatly aided by cutting the trees back
severely. Each grower must determine
for himself how much must be cut
away, according to the extent and the
location of the damage. Asa rule, at
least one-third of the growth of the
limbs should be cut off. In a few cases
it will be wise to cut the limbs back to
stubbs about 24 inches. All badly dam
aged limbs should be taken out entirely.
Ttiis pruning will reduce the surface to
ye fed through the roots and will stim
ulate new growth of healthy wood. If
the tree lives at all, it will regain rap
idly its vigor and retop iself during the
growing season and be prepared for a
fruit crop next year. In doing this
work a smooth, clean cut should be
made with a saw or sharp pruning knife.
The cut surface should be painted over
with white lead to exclude the air and
E revent evaporation. This work should
ave been done in March. However,
it is not too late yet, and should be done
at once. Several prominent growers
have already commenced the work.
Prompt action in this work may save
your trees.
Neither should cultivation be neglec
ted. The trees need the beßt of atten
tion now more than ever. Orchards
should be thoroughly cultivated during
the season as though you expected a big
crop of fruit. If cultivation is neg*
lected, a little hot sun and dry weather
will tell a doleful tale.
