COMMISSIONER NESBITT
His Monthly Talk with, the Farmers
of Georgia.
Plans for the New Year.
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., Jaa. 1, 1893.
A netv year, with all its hopes, opens
before us. Let us take the opportuni
ties which it brings, and begin our work
with well defined plans an i purposes.
Our losses and disappointments are be
hind us; to repine over them is folly.
To apply the lessons which they have
taught is all we can gain from them.
Unfortunately some of us are in debt,
but having arranged terms with cred
itors, let each take fresh courage, and
let us all begin at once to put our plans
into execution. In doing this, let us
thoughtfully consider whether these
plans are well matured, well digested,
evolved and chrystalized from patient
and painstaking methods, or arethey
simply the result of that hopefulness
which springs afresh in our hearts with
every recurring season? Unless they
are founded on the more substantial
basis, we need scarcely hope for progress
or for success. We should consider
thoughtfully not only wherein we have
succeeded, but wherein we have failed,
and to what causes those failures are due.
Have we handled our affairs on business
principles? Were our lands thoroughly
prepared before planting? Were ma
nures wisely amb judiciously used?
Were they distributed on land that had
isome vigor left in it, or did we follow
the old and oft-tried plan of attempting
to make a crop on land which, from
years of unwise treatment, is rendered
powerless to pay any dividend on the
capital and labor expended in its culti
vation ? In investigating thtso ques
tions I find that
our greatest mistake
lies in this hopeless effort to use ele
ments which are so firmly bound in the
soil that only the “open sesame” of en
lightened agricultural methods will un
lock them to us. Instead of applying
these methods we go on from year to
year, hoping by taking a little from each
broad acre to better our fortunes, when
THE ONLY WISE, THE ONLY TRUE PLAN,
is to take our best lands, study its needs,
supply its deficiencies with a liberal
hand, and concentrate on it all the en
ergy which is too often but wasted on
the opposite method. By this plan we
have an opportunity of treating the
worn acres. Each farmer should study
the best methods for doing this ; con
sider his surroundings, and adopt that
which best suits the condition of his
land and his individual means.
Let us reso.tve that w r e will not be led
away from
LEGITIMATE METHODS
because our chief money crop is now'
bringing a fair price witli a prospect of
permanent advance. Let us not allow
this fact to blind or mislead us. We
are passing through a period of great
financial depression and embarrassment.
Let us realize that this lias, in a large
measure, been induced by our own mis
takes, and not allow the glittering pros
pect of high prices next fall to allure us
into forgetting the hard lessons of a
quarter of a century. Bear in mind
I hat while we are, to a great extent, in
dependent of all other nations in the
production of cotton —that is, that no
other nation can produce it profitably at
10 cents, yet when w T e produce, a cottou
crop at any profit, if this is done by di
minishing the all important food crops,
WE SACRIFICE THE INDEPENDENCE
which this monopoly would give us,
and any reduction in the price falls
with distressing effect upon us. We
make the world's cotton. We have no
competition worthy of serious consider
ation. The w'orld’s cotton market is our
own. We must utilize
I
X
THIS TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY
to the very best advantage. We can
overstock the market and ruin ourselves,
S’ving the profits to the foreigner, who
lys from us, or by a
WISE DIVERSIFICATION
at home we can place ourselves in po
sition to take advantage of favorable
markets. In this we are more fortu
nate than our western grain-producing
brother, who can only furnish the world
with bread after the supply in other
countries has been exhausted. The
south can produce cotton cheaper than
other countries, and to that extent she
has an opportunity to make a profit on
the crop. As yet no rival which is
strong enough to wrest this advantage
from us has entered the field. But our
industry is in a
MOST CRITICAL CONDITION,
because we put into our cotton crop
nearly all our brawn and muscle, as
well as the larger part of our hopes and
plans.
THE SITUATION CAN BE IMPROVED
by directing a larger portion of our en
ergies than is at present given, to the
production of
NEEDED FARM SUPPLIES.
If this is done generally and our lands
treated in a way to demonstrate that we
appreciate the untold blessings which
surround us, and also that we have re
solved to cast aside our past unsatisfac
tory methods, we can take hope, and
will be in position to reap advantage
from any favorable changes in the mar
ket. Our lands would thus be left in
better condition for subsequent crops,
our home support would be assured,
and our cotton crop would be almost
clear profit. In a short time we would
begin to realize the benefits of the
change, and erentually our section
would be enriched to an extent scarcely
dreamed of now. Nearly
EVERY FARMER WHO READS THESE LINES,
or who has read previous “monthly
talks’’ and followed me in the policy
which I have marked out, must agree
that I am correct, and yet concert of ac
tion among farmers seems a. physical
and moral impossibility.
EACH FARMER, ACTING FOR HIMSELF,
must decide this question for his own
best interest. Let each individual re
solve to abandon a system which time
and experience has proven leads only to
financial embarrassment, destruction of
our lands, and a paralysis of our ener
gies; consider his financial ability and
just how pinch land he can afford to pat
in cotton, without incurring
HEAVY LIABILITIES,
which, under the most favorable cir
cumstances.be will be barely able to meet.
Then let him determine what part of
his land is in such condition as, with
suitable fertilizers, intelligent methods
and average seasons, will yield a fair
profit. Let him adapt his crops as far
as possible to the conditions of his soil,
his distance from market, and the needs
of his farm. Don't be misled into
planting any crop, whether it is cotton,
tobacco or broom corn, to the exclusion
of those necessary to
FILL THE BARN, THE CRIB. THE SMOKE

Resolve from this time, that you will
be farmers in the broadest sense of that
term, and decide, before the first week
of the new year has passed, what crops
and in what proportions they will have
to be planted to insure independence,
and
PLENTY FOR YOUR FAMILY.

LONG STAPLE COTTON.
, Since the introduction of commercial
fertilizers and their on the
light sandy soil of lower Georgia, it lias
been demonstrated 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, 1 would advise its
cultivation hi that section. There is
certainly m< ney in it to the far hit who
will give it the proper care in both cul
tivation and gather. ug. 1 Know of in-
stances where farmers have made a bale
to two acres, and have received from 20
to 23 cents per pound lor their crops.
What could we substitute that would
pay a larger per cent p-r acre? The
sted w T ili deteriorate, but if we are suc
cessful in producing a fair crop, this
difficulty can tie overcome by the intro
duction of new seed every few years.
High fertilization counts as sensibly on
this Crop as any that we plant, and as it
is a large grower it requires grea ; dis
tance. Should any farmer wish infor
mation as to seed, etc., I will cheerfully
ai l him.
TOBACCO.
About a year ago great interest was
manifested in the cultivation of tobacco,
and some neighborhoods became greatly
excited over the rep >rts of fortunes
being made in the production of this
crop. In my addresses and in every ar
ticle I have written on this subject, i.
have advised a conservative course.
The results of the past season establish
beyond a doubt that good tobacco can
be grown in Georgia. Both bright and
mahogany wrappers of good texture can
be made. But in many instances far
mers have made the mistake of planting
too large a crop of only one or at the
outside, two varieties, and as the result
of inexperience and outer attendants on
anew industry, the 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 different varieties, and ac
quire the necessary knowledge, not only
for the cultivation, but for the curing
of the crop. Everything depends on
proper handling of the crop after it is
made. Tobacco is different from cotton
in this, that the wide margin in prices
is due solely to the' con iition of the to
bacco marketed, and is not influenced
by combinations or speculation. The
following table approximates prices, and
gives an idea of the wide difference be
tween poor and good samples.
* FILLERS.

A difference of 12 cents.
wrappers.
Common to medium 10 to 10 cents
Medium to good 10 to 20 “
Good to fine 20 to 30 “
A difference of 20 cents.
The market for low grade of fillers is
always crowded and dull. Market for
fine, bright and mahogany wrappers is
always active and prices firm. A glance
only is needed to see that it will not pay
to make large crops of poor grade. Our
plan should be to turn out a large pro
portion of good qualify. It is said tnat
from 700 to 1,000 pounds of tobacco can
be grown on one acre, but it depends on
its cultivation and subsequent handling
*llOlllOl- this amount woul 1 be mar.mi
lie. If these are properly managed a
good proportion of beta “wrappers" and
“cutters” can be had.
TOBACCO FACTORIES.
lAm convinced from the experience
of the past year, that unless we can nave
our factories in our own state, it will
not pay to make tobacco, except for
home consumption. Let our farmers
demonstrate that they are willing to be
stow the care and attention, which this
crop requires; in other words, let them
raise good tobacco, then warehousemen,
experienced and competent classifiers,
and also factories, wiT follow.'
BROOM CORN.
It has always been our policy to en
courage diversification of crops and ex
periments in untried branches of agri
culture that the full capacity of our soil
and climate may be thoroughly tested,
at the same time advising that the cul
tivation of ho plant be undertaken on a
large scale until a sufficient number of
crops have been profitably marketed to
prove that there is money in its cultiva
tion. It is always necessary before en
tering upon anew agricultural under
taking to carefully consider market
prices and facilities for marketing, and
the farmer himself is best fitted to deal
with these questions in regard to his
local market, its demands, other mar
kets, their demands, freight rates, etc.
We thus preface a few words on broom
corn and its cultivation in reply to in
quiries on this subject, in order to pre
vent any farmer from under taking to
cultivate it on too large a scale without
having thoroughly weighed the condi
tions r hat surround him or proven it a
profitable crop.
The introduction of broom corn into
the United States has been credited to
Ben Franklin. It is said that in a whisk
broom from the East In . - he found a
single seed, aim :i: r ih-- pirating
of this seed hr.s e.\ n 1 vhe cultivation
of broom corn until it has reached its
present large proportions. Whether
this be true or nob the phi :t belongs ’•>
the sugar cam- family, u - m tally North
•An r. -on, and it can grown in any
part .f the United States.
Any soil adapted to common c ni will
be fo.o t r; . : . , ...
corn, unless rh ■ sail is rich or well fer
tilized, the void, will be very p< r-r.
Rotation will be found advar.t;mvons,
though the crop will grow n tho .- am
ground for years. Any ordinary com
plete fertilizer applied in the hills
drill will do to manure with if required
by the soil, and its use and that of barn
yard manure will nearly . always be
j found to largely increase the yield.
PLANTING.
Prepare your land well, as if for ordi
nary corn, and sow in hills 3 feet by 4,
or in drills 3i feet apart. Tim rows
should be run north and south, that ail
the plants may receive the benefit of the
sun alike. In txjch hill from forty to
fifty seed should be dropped, covering
| them from au inch to an inch and >,
half. Where seed are sown in drills
they should be about two inches apart.
In thinning out leave from 3 to 10 stalks
to the hill. The seed should be planted
a little later than common corn.
CULTIVATION.
In cultivation weeds should be exter
minated, aim f t this reason work should
begin r.s soon as the plants are large

in several ways, and this should be done
before t ie corn is cured, though it may
be delayed until afterward. A hatch'd,
a wood n comb or a long tooth curry
corn'll may bo used to remove them.
WHERE TO MARKET.
In preparing for market the corn is
put up in bai ts weighing fro m 130 to
430 pounds. In putting up the bales a
hay or cotton press can be ue l. Neat
and wv 11-paeked corn will bring a better
price th au when carelessly packed. Ba
f-ire packing the brush should be as
sorted. as crooked and and deceive heads
will injure the sale. The price of*broom
corn varies very much, the best corn
being worth from $7 to sls a hundred,
and inferior qualities from $2 to $lO.
From four to six hundred pounds can
be made per acre. Louisville, Cincin
nati and St. Louis are perhaps the best
markets for southern growers.
THE MELON CROP.
I wish to call the immediate attention
of melon growers to the effect that a
1 cholera epidemic, or even the fear of
that disease entering our ports, would
have on the melon trade. We would
advise our growers to reduce their
acreage so that it' the disease should
again break out the result to them
would not be so disastrous. It is well
known that the fear of cholera will
often induce the authorities of large
cities to enforce regulations against the
sale of fruits, and that when the disease
is across the Atlantic the sale of melons
is greatly effected. Confronted by such
conditions no fanner can afford to plant
very largely, and none on borrowed cap
ital. Should the cholera be stamped out
: in Europe growers will loose but very
little..as enhanced y-g re will compensate
for reduced yield. ■be lnr-t that all
who raise melons for market will se
riously consider the financial loss
they might incur by planting
too largely. Me ileal, experts have
warned us that this -disuse has been
lurking in several European slates for
two years, and the chances are favor
abb 1 for tin outbreak in the United
States the coining summer. The man
; who is financially able to make the ex
periment. who has the money to invest,
can afford to incur the risk, if, in his
judgement, the chances for success are
1 greater than for failure, but the man
who borrows money to invest in so
doubtful an enterprise is courting over
whelming disaster.
HOG-3.
Among the many plans which have
sunk into “innocuous dissuetude” is that
of making our own juicy hams and ■
beautifully white and wholesome lard, j
In curing'our own pork we have the
satisfaction of knowing just how these
hogs were raised, their condition when
converted into pork, and the quality of
meat in daily use on our tables. We all
can remember with what pleasure we
once looked forward to the “hog kill
ing.” But the very same reasons which
induced us to give up making our corn
and wheat, namely, the price of cotton;
the low figure at which we could obtain
our bread from ihe west: our changed
labor, introducing the restless tenant
and renter system; the ease with which
credit could be obtained to make cotton
and buy all food supplies; the losses
from cholera and other diseases, all
combined to influence a majority of our
farmers to abandon the raising of hogs.
But because we have erred in this mat
ter is no reason why we snouid continue
in a course which is wrong in principle
and should be abandoned at once.
EVERY MAN WHO OWNS A FARM,
and fifty percent, of those who rent, can
with a little extra labor and outlay, pre
pare pastures and 'plant crops, which
will come on at different seasons of the
year, rye and barley in the fall, fol
lowed by oats, then field peas, these to
be succeeded by ground peas and pota
toes, and iii this way he can raise his
meat at a nominal cost. The present
year I have cured a beautiful lot of
meat winch pastured and at the same
time fed on the waste milk, of which
v/e had a quantity; the slops and vege
tables from the kitchen; the wasting
frnits from the orchard, and then fat
tened on the patches of peas, grotmd
peas and potatoes, hardened with a lit
tle corn, has cost me so little that I have
scarcely felt it. There is not a farmer
in the state, who will fail to make this
a success if he will give to it the same
thought and care that he gives his corn
and cotton.
If you are
RENTING YOUR LANDS
advise with your tenants and by exam
ple. as well as by precept, induce them
to attend to this question, which will be
profitable to you and of equal benefit to
th m. If the owner is unmethodical
and careless, the renter is apt to exhibit
the same spirit. The example of one
go. farmer in a neighborhood is worth
all the letters or essays that could be
written in a year. The need for intelli
gent energy and business foretdiougSb
was never more pressing than
now. Push your business. Keep it
vll in hand, and don’t for a
m rent suffer it to fall into unprofit
able ruts for the want of a little o.tten
ti -a, a little forethought. The mistakes
and follies, as well as the successes, of a
quarter of a century are known to us
and these should guide us to like suc
cesses and away from similar failures.
Let us not repine, and by -permitting
-ear fears to take possession of us, lead
us into deeper difficulties. Util ze the

A Bad Cold
If not speedily relieved, may lead to serious
Issues. Where there is difficulty of breath
ing, expectoration, or soreness of one throat
and bronchial tubes, with a constantly irri
tating cough, tne very best remedy is Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral. It removes the phlegm,
soothes irritation, stops coughing, and in
duces repose. As an emergency medicine,
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral should be in every
household.
“ There is nothing better for coughs than
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I use no other
preparation.”—Annie S. Butler, 169 Pond st.,
Providence, It. I.
‘•I suffered severely from bronchitis;
but was
CURED BY
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It saved my life.”
—Geo. B. Hunter, Goose River, N. S.
“About a year ago I took the worst cold
that ever a man had, followed by a terrible
cough. The best medical aid was of no
avail. At last I began to spit blood, when
it was supposed to be all over with rue.
Every remedy failed, till a neighbor recom
mended Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I took
half a teaspoonful of this medicine, three
times a day, regularly, and very soon
began to improve. My cough left me, my
sleep was undisturbed, my appetite re
turned. my emaciated limbs gained flesh and
strength and, to-day, thanks to the Pectoral,
lam a well man.” ll. A. Bean, 28 Winter
