COMMISSIONER WITT.
HIS MONTHLY TALK WITH THE
GEORGIA FARMERS
On Subjects of General Interest Per
taining to the Farm and
Garden—Good Advice.
Atlanta, Nov. Ist, ’93.
The past month, with local exceptions,
has been uniformly favorable for the
Bowing of all crops, ami in this work
our farmers have made fine headway.
THE COTTON
crop is virtually gathered and, with
few exceptions, never were its results
more disappointing. At one time the
crop outlook through the state, with the
exception of northwest Georgia, was
most encouraging. From unpropritious
seasons in that particular section the
crop has been almost uniformly unprom
ising, and from the time it came out of
the ground all through the growing and
making season, and until fully matured
and gathered, offered little hope. In
other sections, however, the crop at one
time promised well, and the general
failure in results, combined with un-
fortunately low prices, have brought
disappointment and gloom to almost
every farmhouse in Georgia. The per
plexing and unsatisfactory condition of
our monetary affairs has added its de
pression of influence, and altogether
our farmers as a class are troubled by
anxious forebodings. More especially is
this true of those who have neglected
diversity of crops and ample home
raisod provisions.
ECONOMY
has been the watchword and making
the present crop, and its principles have
been more generally practiced this year
than for several years past. In many
instances men have denied themselves
and families necessary comforts. But
the sacrifice seems unavailing, and
farmers, in common with workingmen
of all classes, are suffering, though it
may be in less degree, from the desig
nated condition of the times.
But, while much of the present un
rest and dissatisfaction can be traced to
defective financial laws, we, as farmers,
must admit that, as a class, we have in
vited disaster by ignoring some of the
plainest and simplest business rules.
We readily admit that in our efforts to
cultivate much of our land, we are
yearly taxing it beyond that point where
could we expect even under the most
favorable seasons and with the most
persistent and faithful work to realize
more than the cost of production. No
hope of profit, even under the best sea
bous and best management. With un
propitious seasons the result is actual
loss, and oftentimes suffering. Will we
never learn wisdom from hard experi
ence, or is the absolute loss of our prop
erty and total inability to secure sup
plies on time the only sure check on
our
SPECULATIVE SYSTEM OF FARMING?
Our farmers should remember from
their past experience that they cannot
afford to start a crop in the vain hope
that after advancing it to a certain stage,
someone else will be willing to risk the
supplies to keep it going. The mer-,
chant, like the farmer, has drifted along
in the same current, both shutting their
eyes to the dangerous snags all along
their course. He, like ourselves, has
hoped against hope, striving each year
to recover some part of the losses which
he has borne in the shape. of advanced,
and unpaid for supplies. Our mutual
hopes have been built upon sand foun
dations and the props seem entirely
swept away. The lesson for us as farm
ers to learn is, that under existing cir
cumstances, it is worse than folly to at
tempt to work our lands under the old
methods, and with supplies obtained on
credit. It must be evidont to every
thinking fanner, in the light of his own
experience and that of hundreds of
others who have bravely struggled and
failed, that if we continue a course so
fraught with danger, nothing but a mir
acle will save us from ruin. Let us
arouse ourselves to our true condition,
and realize at once that if we expect to
make our farming successful and sel
supporting, we must follow legitimate
and sensible business rules, and not tin
speculative plan, which has character
ized our management for so many years.
Let us
LOOK CAREFULLY OYER THE GROUND
and determine just how much of o r
land under favorable, or, I should say,
average seasons, with careful manage
ment, will give us home supplies, home;
comforts. VVe but invite failure wh n
we attempt to cultivate land which, de
pleted by a long and continuous system
of cleanly hoed and exhaustive crops,
holds out little hope of remunerative
returns unless a different plan is adopted.
Our towns are today being filled with
DISAPPOINTED FARMERS,
who, despairing of success in their cho
sen calling, have been induced to em
bark in undertakins in which they have
no experience and, in many instances
little aptitude. They forget that succes
in any business is usnally the crowim
result of education, study and oftei
years of patient labor in that special
line. We see daily hundreds of case*
where farmers have ventured their ah
in new and untried business and lost,
and their condition calls for our warm
est sympathy.
The young man just starting out in
life without capital, but fitted by tem
perament and education for some spe
cial work, will find it to his interest to
engage in that work, because there his
brain and muscle can be used for his ad
vancement. To such the farm cannot
hold out inducements sufficient. Other
fields are more inviting and offer Letter
pay, and one cannot expect him to fore
g* o a favorable opi>ortunity or sacrifice
is interest to a mere sentiment. Life
work is too real, and we deal with issues
too vital to be trifled with, and each one
should select the work for which lie is
best fitted. But in selecting our busi
ness, not only our fitness, but our indi
vidual fancies and prejudices should be
considered, and in ever}' avocation there
is one essential without which we can
rarely hope to climb high on the ladder
to success—that is. we must love our
work to be willing to devote our time,
our energies and such talent as we pos
sess to its advancement.
Having chosen our work we must not
only love it, but hold to it in shadow as
well as sunshine, in discouragement as
well as when it goes right. As farmers
we must allow no opportunity for gain
ing information, for improving our
methods, to escape, and once we dis
cover that we are on the wrong track,
call a halt, consider the situation, and
having decided on a different line of ac
tion, follow it to the finish. Heretofore
defeat has made us desperate, and iu
the vain hope of bettering our condition
we have plunged deeper into methods,
which, upon reflection and in our calmer
moments, we willingly admit are false
in promises and unattainable iu accom
plishment. We have been working for
immediate results without considering
the injury to our lands or our ability to
execute the plans, which we have but
partially matured. Recognizing our
mistake the only sound policy is to
CHANGE OUR PLAN
for the future. Permit me to emphasize
some of the mistakes and to reiterate
the warning, which I have so often ut
tered. The first and most grievous, the
one which has caused us the greatest
number of disappointments as well as
changed the character of our soils is
planting the same land year after year
in the same clean-lioed and cultivated
crops, without rest or change. On this
subject I quote the following from the
American Agriculturist, showing how
universal the practice and how impor
tant to apply the remedy:
“The farmer who owns his farm is
concerned quite has much for its future
as for its present productiveness. He
cannot afford, even under pressure ot
seeming necessity, to se ; : the fertility
his land by the bushel until its decreas
ing productiveness makes longer cultiva
tion impossible. Thousands have gone
this road, and have only found their
mistake when too late to retract their
steps.
“However important immediate re
sults may seem, the careful farmer looks
to next year and the year after. It takes
exceptional crops to make the farmer in
different to the future of his soil. But
the true economy consists in combining
both immediate and future benefit by
applying manures chiefly to clover and
other crops which themselves add to
soil fertility, and thus make it serve
both ends. It is here that grain farmers
have an advantage over those who grow
hoed crops exclusively. The farmer who
grows grain can and should always sow
clover with it. Then all the manure he
applies to the grain crop serves a double
purpose. Tne hoed crop may make the
most money per acre, but, if it is grown
year after year, it demands the yearly
purchase of a large amount of manure.
That will take off the profits. The
alternation of grain seeded with clover,
and then after one or two years growth
the clover plowed under as green ma
nure for some hoed crop, secures both
the immediate profit and the permanent
benefit to the soil which every good
farmer seeks.”
In the more southern latitudes peas or
rye take the place of the clover.
A second error is the yearly purchase
of large amounts of commercial fertili
zer, stock and provisions, partly on time,
in the hope of a few extra bales, forget
ting that when the additional labor and
various other extra items are calculated
the expense account is largely increased,
and when the crops are gathered the ad
ditional results are sadly disproportion
ate.
The third mistake is included in the
others—that is, the hazardous experi
ment of planting a short provision crop
and trusting to our merchant; or “luck,”
to keep us out. On a farm where plenty
of provisions are planted there is always
ample opportunity for “rotation and
renovation,” and where the farmer raises
his own meat and possibly his stock, the
harmony of agricultural relations is ad
justed and maintained year after year,
and the land, instead of retrograding, is
being constantly improved.
We have
EXPLODED THE OLD IDEA
that debts can be paid or money made
on borrowed capital when cotton brings
only 7or 8 cents. In looking at this
question from a business as well as an
agricultural standpoint, we cannot
afford to ignore some unpleasant truths.
The crop producing capacity of our
cultivated lands has alarmingly de
creased; the facilities for reaching newer
and more productive lands have so
greatly increased as to draw off a large
part of our best farming population;
these two conditions, combined with
our unfortunate financial status and the
low prices prevailing for our principal
farm products have caused a general
agricultufal depression, and we south
ern farmers will be compelled to so
arrange the acreage, character and gen
eral direction of our crops as to enable
us to ran our farms without incurring
additional indebtedness. Many are seri
ously cramped now, and with the de
cline in land proauction and in prices
their affairs are becoming more and
more embarrassed. To such the error
of attempting to cultivate large areas
in cotton on borrowed capital is pain
fully apparent.
We should cultivate only such land as
experience has taught us will produce
well, and in such crops as are suited to
our soils and the demands of home and
available markets. We should resolve
not to be swerved from this position by
any favorable or sudden change in the
general market prices, for it is the policy
sanctioned by experience, common sense
and onr natural surroundings.
At this season, when the crops are
nearly or about gathered, each farmer
should determine upon the
PROPER PLAN
for him to pursue for another season,
and then direct his energies to their ac -
complishment. The fall and winter
plowing should go on wherever the land
is in proper condition. Very little at

_• CaU on oi' addrttt
tention has heretofore been given to
this work, becauso of she character of
our crops, they occupying the land until
late in the season; because we have
never realized the importance of a thor
ough stirring of the subsoil, and because
we are such creatures of habit that it is
difficult to fall into new lines of thought
and action.
In some cases, where there is an ab
sence of vegetable matter and the land
is disposed to “run together,” this plow
ing may have to be repeated in the
spring, but in the meantime the land
has been put in condition to yield up ad
ditional plant food, when needed. A
sufficient area in small grain should be
put in each year to meet home demands.
This, dressed with a phosphate and fol
lowed by peas to be turned under or cut,
as the farmer may decide. By this pro
cess we will build up our lands and
gather a supply of plant food which,
combined with the prepared fertilizers,
will produce astonishing results. Build
up pastures, and provide for the comfort
of stock. Keep one or two good brood
sows, and watch and attend to them
carefully. Give them the benefits of
the slops or surplus milk from the
kitchen and dairy. Shelter cattle and
stock properly. All of these dumb crea
tures, which contribute so largely to our
comfort, suffer intensely from the effects
of cold, and when unnecessarily exposed
require more food to promote health and
growth. Humanity and economy both
demand that we look carefully to the
comfort of the farm animals. Fences
and terraces are to be looked after;
leaves and litter to be hauled for bed
ding; implements, plow - gear and
wagons overhauled and repaired. In
these small matters we are too apt to
procrastinate, and when too late, that
is when the spring work opens in earn
est, we realize the time we have lost,
and regret our inaction.
R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner.
COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.
Their Percentages of Valuable Plant
Food.
We are often asked by farmers why it
is that so much unnecessary material is
found in the ordinary fertilizers on the
market. A common composition of
these goods is about 10 per cent of avail
able phosphoric acid, about 2 1-2 per
cent ammonia and about 2 per cent pot
ash. This is a total of 14 1-2 per cent of
available plant food, or 14 1-2 pounds in
every 100 pounds of fertilizer.
This may appear a small percentage,
yet when the source of the materials
and the urgent demand for low priced
fertilizers is taken into consideration,
there are excellent reasons for such a
condition of affairs.
There are certain materials offered
upon the market which contain plant
food, some of them are sold at very low
prices which make them available as
fertilizers. Bones, phosphate rock, cot
tonseed meal, blood, tankage, sulphate
of ammonia, nitrate of soda, muriate of
potash, sulphate of potash and kainit
are such materials.
Phosphate rock is our cheapest and
most used source of phosphoric acid;
cottonseed meal is one of our cheap
sources of nitrogen, and kainit is largely
used as a source of potash.
Now 100 pounds of phosphate rock
only contains about 30 pounds of phos
phoric acid, and to render this 30 pounds
of phosphoric acid available as plant
food requires in round numbers about
100 pounds of suluhuric acid added to it.
Then the 200-pound mixture will con
tain the whole of the 30 pounds of the
phosphoric acid, or 15 pounds in 100; or,
ih other words, it will be a 15 per cent
“acid phosphate.” Phosphate rock is a
combination of lime with phosphoric
acid, and it also contains some impuri
ties such as sand, etc. Sulphuric acid
when added to phosphate rock seizes a
large portion of the lime and forms sul
phate of lime, leaving the phosphoric
acid available as plant food. If it were
possible to secure a perfectly pure phos
phate rock we could only make about a
23 per cent “acid phosphate ’ with it by
this process. It is possible to leach out
the phosphoric acid from the ‘ ‘acid phos
phate” and evaporate the solution down,
and thus produce a remarkably high
grade of “acid phosphate.” This, of
course, increases the cost of the goods
very much. It is possible now to buy
goods running from 40 to 50 per cent
available phosphoric acid, but the de
mand is limited, as everyone wishes
cheap fertilizers. Such an article is in
trinsically worth three times as much as
als per cent acid phosphate. With
15 per cent acid phosphate selling at
sl3 a ton, a 45 per cent one should bring
$39. Even at this figure the higher
priced article would be the most eco
nomical on account of freight, as it
would be only one-third of that of the
lower grade goods. Another factor
comes, however, into the matter, which
is the additional cost of producing the
more concentrated article. An actual
pound of available phosphoric
acid sells at a higher and
higher price as it becomes more and
more pure. While it is worth 4 cents a
pound in an ordinary “acid phosphate,”
it sells for $3.30 a pound in a perfectly
pure condition as used by chemists.
Cottonseed meal is one of the large
sources of nitrogen, yet as it is put upon
the market it only contains nitrogen
equivalent to 8 1-2 per cent of ammonia.
The raw cottonseed itself contains a still
smaller percentage before the removal of
the hulls and oil. This partial concen
tration of nitrogen in the cottonseed
meal is too expensive to undertake for
fertilizing purposes alone. It is the ex
traction of the valuable cottonseed oil
upon which the industry chiefly depends
to make the business remunerative. If
agriculturists could afford to use the
most concentrated ammoniates which it
is possible to produce, such ammouiates
could be made far cheaper from other
materials than cottonseed. Blood is a
by-product from the slanghter houses,
and contains nitrogen equivalent to
about 16 per cent of ammonia, and while
higher per ton, usually costs less per
pound for the nitrogen it contains than
she cottonseed meal. If cottonseed meal
was worth nothing except as a fertilizing
material, this might not be the case, but
cottonseed is also a valuable cattle food.
Nitrate of soda is also a very concen
trated form of nitrogen. It can be
bougut containing nitrogen equivalent to
over 18 per cent of ammonia. Perfectly
pure nitrate of soda contains nitrogen
equivalent to only between 19 and 20 per
cent ef ammonia.
Perfectly pure nitrogen and ammonia
are both gases and for fertilizing purpo
ses must be fixed by combinatiou with
some other body. Ammonia gas is now
sold in a liquid form compressed by
heavy pressure into iron cylinders for
the manufacture of ice. - Such liquified
ammonia gas it is, of course, impractical
to use. Sulphate of ammonia is ammo
nia gas combined with sulphuric acid,
which holds it. Pure sulphate of am
monia contains over 25 per cent of act
ual ammonia.
Kainit is an impure potash mineral,
only containing about 12 per cent of pot
ash, muriate of potash containing 50
per cent of actual potash. It can be
bought at very low figures,
considering its contents of potash. The
sulphate can be bought at a little higher
figures, containing also about 50 per
cent of potash. If we consider “acid
phosphate” in anjunadulterated state as
containing 15 per cent of available phos
phoric acid and cotton seed meal as con
taining nitrogen equivalent to 8 1-2 per
cent of ammonia, and Kainit as carry
ing 12 per cent of potash, fertilizers can
not be made to run very high from such
materials in their crude form. For in
stance, 60 pounds of 15 per cent acid
phosphate contains 9 pounds of availa
ble phosphoric acid (that is, it contains
6-10 of 15 pounds), 25 pounds of cotton
seed meal contains 1-4 of the 8 1-2
pounds of nitrogen equivalent to ammo
nia in 100 pounds of cotton seed meal,
which will be about 2 12-100 per cent,
15 pounds of Kainit will contain 1 8-10
pounds of potash—as 15 pounds is 15-100
of the 100 pounds of Kainit containing
12 pounds of potash per 100 pounds.
By using greater or smaller propor
tions of each ingredient the percentages
can be varied, but such formulae cannot
be expected to contain more than 13 or
14 per cent of plant food.
If 16 per cent blood or 16 per cent
nitrate of soda is used all the percent
ages can be increased if desired. By the
use of such material as the high grade
acid phosphates, which can be bought
running as high as 18 per cent available
phosphoric acid, sulphate of ammonia
containing over 24 per cent of ammonia
and of sulphate or muriate of potash
running over 50 per cent of potash, very
much higher grades of fertilizers can be
produced than the ordinary average of
those on the market. Fifty pounds of
an 18 per cent “acid phosphate” would
give 9 per cent available phosphoric
acid, 25 pounds of 24 per cent sulphate
of ammonia would give 6 per cent of
ammonia, and 25 pounds of sulphate or
muriate of potash containing 50 per cent
of potash would give 12 1-2 per cent of
potash. The demand, however, is for
low-priced goods, and many buyers do
not stop to consider the quantity of plant
food m a fertilizer, but think the cheaper
they buy a ton the better the bargain.
If one desires to buy a gold ring of a cer
tain size, he finds they become cheaper
and. cheaper as they contain less gold,
though to the eye they appear equally
well at first. One has to take the jew
eler's word or go to a chemist to decide
the matter. A farmer has to either
take the manufacturer’s word or go to a
chemist also. Some may think they can
tell the quality by the smell, taste or
color. They are badly mistaken.
A fertilizer running 9 per cent availa
ble phosphoric acid, 6 per cent of am
monia and 12 1-2 per cent of pota&n
costs a manufacturer $7.20 for the phos
phoric acid, $15.60 for the ammonia and
$lO for the potash, and $2.60 for mixing,
sacking, inspecting, etc. This will he
$35.40. Such goods can ho purchased if
desired. If low percentage goods are
not desired one should not buy them, as
higher percentage fertilizers can be se
cured if one is willing to pay for them.
Where freights are high considerable
money can he saved by using high grade
goods. To increase the standard would
he to lessen the use of cotton seed meal
and the lower grades of phosphate rock
in manufactured fertilizers. This would,
of course, make fertilizers proportion
ately somewhat higher in price.
Pure phosphoric acid and pure potash
quickly take up water from the air, nnd
they would be difficult to manage as fer
tilizers. They could not be kept pure
unless sealed air and water tight. Pure
ammonia is a gas under ordinary condi
tions, and, of course, would be unman
ageable in such a form. These bodies,
however, can he combined with each
other and thus be handled more readily.
Phosphate of potash can be made from
phosphoric acid and potash, and phos
phate of ammonia from phosphoric acid
and ammonia. These two white sub
stances would look very dissimilar from
the ordinary “guanoss” blackened with
lampblack, and even if there was no in
creased cost in ridding the crude mate
rial of their impurities, the market
value would be very high. At the low
valuation of 4 cents a pound for availa
ble phosphoric acid a ton of pure phos
phosphoric acid would be worth SBO. A
ton of pure potasli valued at 4 cents
a pound would be SBO, and a ton of pure
ammonia at only 13 cents a pound would
be $260. The freight on such chemicals
would be proportionately low according
to their concentration, but they are, of
course, out of the question, rs they can
not at present be manufactured except
at considerable additional cost per pound
of plant food.
At equal prices per pound for plant
food a high grade fertilizer is cheaper
than a low priced one, as the freight is
less, it does not take so much bagging,
and it takes less work to handle it. Far
mers should buy their goods on analysis,
as the manufacturers do theirs. No
reasonable man should expect to buy a
fertilizer containing 27 per cent of plant
food at the same price as one containing
only 13 per cent. George F. Payne.
