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 MADE FROM PURE PIG IRON. DURABLE, CONVENIENT and ECONOMICAL.

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. caked bag in cows.
