We, the Grand Jurors, sworn and em panelled for the February term of the Butts Superior court, beg leave to m ke these our general presentments. We have examined the books and papers of the various county officers, and dockets of justices and notary publics, through our several committees, and find them kept in terms of law. We also have ex amined, by comraitteos. the jail, court house, and pauper farm. The jail needs the following repairs: The roof needs repairing and repainting, also recom mend that six hammocks be furnished for the us* of the prisoners. We find the windows of the court house need some repairs and anew ladder to extend from ground to roof. We find the pau per farm under good management, with seven inmates, two whites and five col ored. We hereby attach annual state ment of treasurer, and ask that they be published as a part of these present ments. To meet the current expenses of the county for the year 1894, we find it necessary to levy the following per cent: General expenses, 1.3. Jury “ 1.2. Jail “ .5. Pauper “ .5. Bridge “ ,8. Commissions expenses, .3. Court house “ .01. Cororner “ .01. Total, 4.02 of one per cent. The county school commissioner has made his annual report and We request that the same be published as a part of these presentments. We recommend that the ordinary be paid forty-four dollars ($44.55.) and fif ty-five cents per itemized account as presented to us, for services rendered the county from January 3rd, 1894, to February Kith inst., since the abolition of the county ceurt. We reecommend that W. M. Mallett, J.M. McMichael, and J. 11. Maddox be appointed to fill the yacansies In the board of education for the county from March 1594. We reecommend that J. G. Kimbell be re-appointed notary public in 615 G. M. district, and W. H. Jenkins be appointed notary public in 609 district G. M. W* reecommend that a bridge be built at Henley’s mill not to exceed in oost one hundred and fifty dollars, to be let out to the lowest bidder, as per gen eral custom. We reecommend that court houses be built In each district, where one is needed and that the laud and house not to oost more than one hun dred dollars, in accordance with the act of legislature, as amended aud approved Nov. 25th, 1893. We find the road* throughout the county in bad condition, which is the result of oontinued rains, and that, that portion of the roads whieh have not been worked, are in better condition than those recently worked. And w# would suggest to the road commissioners that the customary practice of working the roads just a few days before court - , re gardless of weather, especially the spring term, should be desisted in, aud the work necceseary to put the roads in good condition be done after the winter rains have subsided. W* reocomraend that the county court be re-established. We congratulate the people of Flin t circuit in having His Honor Judge John J. Hunt, elected to the important posi tion of judge, of said circuit, and we feel grateful to him for the able manner in which he dispatched business, aud for courtesies shown this body. We also ex tend to Solicitor Marcus W. Beck, due appreciation for the aid and kinduess •howu us during th present term of court, and we feel proud to know that the F int circuit has the servioes of so faithful an officer and citizen of our county. We reccommend that these present ments be published in the Jackson Ar gus and it be i aid five dollars for their publication. All of which is respectfully submitted, Alex Atkinson, Foreman, J. A.

There were forty two schools in the county, besides nine border, or line, schools that children from Butts county attended. There were in attendance upon these schools 1,467 whites and 1,659, colored making a total of 3,126 pupils, between the ages of six and eighteen years. There were 871 whites aud 997 colored, making a total average attendance oflß6B pupils for a term of fivo months. Teachers were contracted with under the long term section of the general school law, and each teacher was paid 58 per cent of the aggregate amount of his or her account. 1893 FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

SSO TO $75 FOR $25. 77iis May Aound Odd, but it is Neverthe less True In (his eminently progressive age, the education ot no young man, no matter what bis intended avocation, can be regar ded as fully qualifying him for success unless he possesses a business training.

Tlie.c wheat and corn mills, run by wa ter and situated at Tew&liga, Ga., are in a splendidly equipped condition, and can grind fiom 60 to 90 bushels per day. So you need not be delayed long if you patroniao these mills. Besides the courteous and accommodating miller, Mr. J. C. Moore, always keeps on hand fresh ground meal to exchanghe for corn with those of his customers who do not wish to be delayed at all Meal and four on hand at all times for sale at market price, \ our patronage to the mill is respect fully solicited. J. K. Ci.BMicHAKL,Adm’r. February 8, 1894. 1-m FARMERS’ COLUMNS. GEORGIA EXPERIMENT STATION, Experiment, Ga. Extracts From Station Bulletin. [Bulletin No. 23, 40 pages and # Bul letin 24. 18 pages, have been published since Press Bulletin No. 4 appeared in this paper, and are now in the bands of farmers who have heretofore request ed that the bulletins of the station he sent to them. Address “Georgia Ex periment Station. Experiment. Ga., if you desire to receive the bulletins free. J Liberal extracts from Bulletin No. 23 were made last month. The following are from the same bul letin: — General Fertilizer Test on Corn. Experiments similar in character, but differing somewhat in details from the one now to be discussed, were con ducted in 1890— 91 —92. The land on which the experiment was projected (one acre) was occupied the two previous years in a general fertilizer test on cotton. The direction of the rows of corn were laid at right angles to that of the cotton rows, so as to practically discount any disturbing effect of the’ differently fertilized rows of cotton. The fertilizing ingredients used and variously compounded, were super phosphate of lime, muriate of potash and nitrate of soda. The “normal"’ formula was as follows: Superphosphate - - 312 lbs. per acre. Muriate of Potash - 18 “ Nitrate of Soda - - 130 “ Total - - - - 460 “ Cost *5-70 These proportions were systemati cally 7 varied on the different plots as shown in Table Fo. 11. r lhe section was one square acre, containing 52 rows, eact 201 feet long and 4 feet wide. These rows were bisected by a line across the middle, so as to give 34 plots, of three rows each. For instance, Plot No. IS is the western half of the same three rows of which Plot No. 1 is the eastern half, and so on with all the plots. RESULTS. The “normal ration,” costing .85.70 per acre, gave an increased yield of 3,47 bushels of corn, a loss (corn at 60 cents a bushel) of $3.60. Doubling the phosphoric acid, in creasing the cost to SB.IO per acre, re sulted in a decreased y r ield and an in creased loss of $6.44 per acre. In Series 8, in which the potash was doubled, the cost falls to $6.09 and the loss to $4.30, and so on. In Series s—potash and nitrogen doubled, and-Series 6 phosphate, potash and nitrogen dou bled, the yield reaches the highest points, but still a loss of $5.94 and $8.54 respectively. Conclusions. 1. That nitrogen was the most effective element on this soil. 2. That commercial (concentrated) fertilizers, at present prices, are not profitable on the soil covered by the experiment, when planted in corn. Subsoiling for Corn. The land is a level acre of ordinary red upland, with hard, red clay 7 subsoil. It was planted in cotton in 1891 and 1892, und yielded more than one bale each year,’ under a liberal fertilizing with commercial fertilizers. March 13 rows were laid off across the old cotton rows, with a scooter, four feet apart, followed by a ten inch shovel. In these shovel furrows the following ration of fertilizers was de posited except in plots 9 and 10, which were not fertilized: Superphosphate - - 312 lbs. per acre. Muriate of potash - 18 “ “ Nitrate of Soda - - 130 “ “ Total - - - - 460 “ Cost $5.70 “ Immediately 7 a long, square point scooter was run in each furrow in or der to incorporate a the soil. The furrows were then bed ded on with a one-horse turn plow, and in all the even numbered plots the turn plow was followed by a subsoiler, breaking the ground to a total depth of 10 inches. The odd number plots were not subsoiled, but broken only 5 inches deep with the turn plow. The section was partly rebedded, before planting, by reopening the beds with a shovel plow adding four furrows with a scooter. The corn was planted in hills, 4 x 4, the same day (March 14), and covered with a hand hoe. An al most perfect stand was promptly se cured. Results. Excluding the unfertilized plots (9 and 10), the average yfield of the sub soiled plots was 30.44 bushels, and of the unsubsoiled plots 31.43 bush els of shelled corn per acre, a difference of 0.99 bushels in favor of subsoiling! Now examine the yield of each plot in detail. Compare the yfield of each odd number plot (not subsoiled) with that of the next adjacent even numbered plot (subsoiled) and it will be seen that in every case, excepting plots 13 and 14, the not subsoiled plot exceeds the next following subsoiled plot. If we commence with number 2. sub soiled. and compare each even plot with its adjacent succeeding odd plot, it will be seen that thare is no excep tion to the rule that the yield each of the not subsoiled plots exceeds that of the following subsoiled plots! This is a strong confirmrtion of the truth of the general results. Conclusions. 1. The results indi cate that subsoiling under the condi tions of soil and seasons as given does not pay, but results in absolute de crease of product,, to say nothing of the cost of extra work. 2. That commercial fertilizers do not pay 7 when applied to corn on this land, and under the seasons and conditions stated. Composting “in the Heap” versus Mixing in the Furrow —Corn. A compost was put up in a compost heap, under shelter, lebruarp 3d, as follows: Well rotted, fine sta ble manure - - 2,000 lbs. per acre. Green cotton seed (crushed) - - - 1,200 lbs. per acre. Acid phosphate - 400 lbs. per acre. Cost 3,600 lbs. per acre. The above materials were thorough ly w r etted with water, and intimately mixed, and permitted to stand three weeks, when the heap was shoveled over again, and allowed to stand until March 22d— forty-seven days. The same amount of the same mate rials were separately weighed on the same day (February 3d) and set aside, unmixed, until planting time. One acre of red clay land, in cotton the pre vious year, was selected, and laid off-in the usual 52 rows, 210 feet long by four feet wide, Is plots of three rows each. In each of the odd number plots the fermented compost was applied in the opening furrows. In the even number plots the corresponding amounts of unmixed and unfermented materials' were deposited. In each furrow the manure was well incorporated in the soil by running a scooter plow’ as deep as one mule could pull. Four furrows were then laid on the manure furrow, the small bed thus made opened with a shovel, and the corn dropped in hills 4x4 and covered with a hand-hoe. A good ‘"stand'’ was up by April 8, but the bill-bugs soon commenced their ravages, and the stand eventually be came very irregular. The yields, how ever. were all corrected for ‘ missing hills.” Results. —The table gives the results plainly, showing that the average yields of the odd number plots, which received the seven weeks compost, ex ceeded the average of the even number plots by only 0.09 bushels. In every number 'plot, excepting numbers and 11, the yield was greatar than in the next following even number plot. Conclusion That well rotted stable manure, crushed cotton seed (green) and acid phosphate, composted in the heap fortv-seven days before using, are bat a little more effective than the same quantities of the same mateiinls, kept separate until just before plant ing. and then applied to the soil—not enough to pay 7 for the extra labor of handling. General Remarks. Avery cursory 7 examination of the foregoing experiments revems the fact that" the fertilizers applied were not effective in increasing the yfield to a paying point. This may be largely' due to the unfavorable seasons iu July, the crucial period of the corn crop in this; latitude. The yield, compared with the three previous years years, was fully 7 maintained, and probably was a little greater, showing the steady im provement in the productiveness of the soil under the rotation system adopted on the Station farm. It is quite evi dent that the fertilizers applied, except possibly in Experiment No. 6, failed to pay first cost (unfortunately no unfer tilized plats were left in this experi ment). In this case the fertilizer was a compost of stable manure, cotton seed and acid phosphate. These results do not contradict those of previous years, hut are confirmatory of the indication that Indian corn does not respond profitably 7 to commercial fertilizers, on the high, dry uplands of Middle Georgia. They 7 suggest that corn should always be planted as a part of a regular rotation on such lands, or confined in the main, to low, moist, dark colored (humus) soils. The ex periments of previous years show that such fertilizers do pay on cotton and oats. It is therefore suggested, with confidence, that corn should follow a previously well fertilized cotton crop, and shuold he lightly fertilized with a highly nitrogenous fertilizer, such as cotton seed (or meal), nitrate of soda, or with a compost of stable manure. Incidentally, my experience of the • past four<yearsof station work, involv ing’ the careful, accurate measurement of all crop yields, leads to the sugges tion that farmers are often mislead as to the yield of corn when estimating only 7 hy r the appearance of the crop, or when measured by 7 wagon loads of un certain content, or guessed at. Most of the experiments herein con tained will he repeated again next year, with redoubled precautions against er rors, and at the close of the fifth year a general review of all the experiments of the five years will be made. ANSWERS TO INQUIRIES. [Under this head short inquiries from farmers on practical farm topics will be answered by one of the Station staff and published, if of general interest, otherwise the answers will he sent by mail. Make your inquiries short and to the point, always give your name and postoffice, and addressed to the “Director Georgia Experiment Station, Experiment, Ga.”] J. C., Moreland, Ga. : Please send me all the bulletins of your station treat ing on the following subjects : Grape Black Rot and other diseases of same; Apple Pests of all kinds ; Peach Borer, Plum curculio, etc. Also please state the best sprayer to use as a preventive, insecticide and fungicide. Give all information y 7 ou can and oblige. Answer, by H. N. Starnes, Horticul turist—!. No bulletin yet issued by 7 the station covers any 7 of these subjects. A recent publication “Fungus Diseas es of the grape and other plants” by 7 F. Lamson Scribner, of the Tennessee Ex periment Station, and for sale by J, T. Lovett & Cos. Little Silver, N. J,, will give you complete information on the ofWiinyi Insects and their destruction are ad mirably 7 covered by William Saunders in “Insects injurious to Fruits” published by J. B. Lippincott & Cos., Philadel phia. These two books will many times re pay their cost if purchased and studied. 2. Peach Borer. —Remove earth in December from boles of trees —now, if not already done, though it is late for it. Punch out larvae, (borers) with a shoe-awl. Make a wash of consistency of thick whitewash in proportion of one bushel lime, to four pounds sul phur, slack in a barrel and while in ebullition stir in the sulphur. Apply with brush to roots of trees, when it has cooled, as far down as can he reached and for six inches above ground on the trunk. Leave exposed till middle of March ; then re-cover, hilling up for several inches around trunk. This will not prevent borers from reappearing and the process will have to be repeated during the next winter and yearly—but it keeps the borer from doing any serious damage. 3. The best Fungicide is Bordeaux Mixture. For some purposes the am moniacal solution of copper carbonate. Formulae as follows: — (a) Bordeaux Mixture: Dissolve 6 pounds copper sulphate, orbluestone, in 10 gallons water, slack in separate ves sel 4 pounds lime, adding, when slack ened, sufficient water to make a thick whitewash; pour the bluestone solu tion into a 50 gallon barrel and slowly add the whitewash, straining through a sack or seive; stir thoroughly and mixture is ready for use. (b) Ammoniacal solution of copper carbonate . Dissolve 5 ounces copper carbonate in 3 pints of strong aqua ammonia; when completely dissolved pour the solution into a barrel of 15 or 50 gallon capacity and fill with wate, Always add. sufficient water to the cop per carbonate to make a thick paste before poufing on the ammonia. 4. Best general Insecticides are Paris Green and London Purple sold in form of a powder; may be applied separate ly dissolved in from 100 to 300 gallons of water to one pound of the poison, with the addition of a pound of lime to lessen injury to foliage. Had better, however, be applied in combination with Bordeaux mixture. 5. General directions for Spraying, (a) Grapes—commence to spray with Bordeaux mixture just before leaves put out, repeating every ten days till May 1 st, after which use copper carbo nate solution three times at tea day in tervals. (b; Apples —Dilute Bordeaux mix ture one-half, adding 4 ounces Paris Green, spraying first at time of opening of blossoms and tw T o w r eeks thereafter to J une Ist. (c) Peaches —The leaf is too tender to risk damage at the hands of an inex perienced manipulator, so no spraying is advised. Use dusting bellows and flour of sulphur at intervals through sea son. [Note. —If desired, more extended notes on this really important subject will be cheerfully prepared. Detailed advice or information is of course im possible in such brief space.] C. W. 8., Beaver Dam, Da., I have a broomsedge field which has been out for a few years that I want to plow under this winter for corn or cotton. Which will be best for the land, and how much fertilizers can I use to profit, and what kind? Answer by Director Redding. Burn off the broomsedge as quickly as possi ble (it would have been well to turn it under last September or October), and immediately turn uhder the stubble very shallow, so that it will decay in time for the next crop. The same ma nures that have given best results on adjoining cultivated land will do well on this. For cotton apply to each acre 200 pounds of acid phosphate, 100 pounds of cottod meal and 15 pounds of muriate of r tush (or 60 pounds kanit). Or you may safely double these quan tities. proservbur the same proportions. If for corn I would use 150 pounds of cotton meal ir. toad of 100. The fact that the land has been lying out and abated considerable vegetable n tt* y, iii enable it to bear than the same qual ity of land that has been continuously cultivated. Early in March, if for corn, or A r ’’il. if for cotton, run a sharp har row over the inverted sedge sod until cut or torn to pieces. Then open deep farrows, four feet apart, distribute 30(1 to 600 pounds or the fertilizer per acre, mix the same well with the soil by run ning a scooter furrow once or twice, bed up well, plowing deep. Just be fore plowing harrow the beds smooth and plant- in the best variety you can get. If in cotton you may reasonably expect an increased yield of 000 to 800 pounds -compared' with the unaided yi- id of the soil—using' GO.) pounds per acre. I would not use more than 300 pounds if planted in corn. IN. L. M., Atlanta, Ga., writes: 1. How shall I prepare soil for hot-bed? 2. What is the best hedge to plant for fence purposes? Answer, by If. X. Starnes, Horticul turist. 1. i lot-bed—soil for same should'be prepared as follows: Make bottom layer of stable manure 12 or 18 inches in depth. Before using- manure throw into heap of sufficient size to g-enerate heat, turning, say, twice, or more until rank heat is expelled. In ten days time the mass will be in con dition to put in your frame. After spreading, tread firmly and cover with six inches of good soil or humus. Do not plant seed until a thermometer, introduced, shows that the heat from the fermentation of the manure be neath is beginning to decline from 100°. Keep moist and ventilate care fully on sunny days. Great caution is necessary in this particular as com bined heat of seed and the interior fermentation, may. in an hour, run the temperature so high as to fatally in jure the contents of the bed. 2. Protective hedges. You will find the morianna Blum the best and cheap est fence hedge. It is tough, hardy, thorny—grows readily from cuttings and responds to the shears, growing 1 w and branching densely. Plant in triple rows. Auy nursery will' be able to supply the cuttings. M, A., Summerville, Ga., I have a field that was in oats last year, it was not turned under last fall. I want to plant it in cotton. How should it be prepared ? Answer by J. M. Kimbrough, Agri culturist—You made a great mistake in not turning under the oat stubble last fall. I would now break with 2- horse plow, not oyer G inches deep, as soon as possible, and about the middle or last of March harrow it well with a cutaway, or with a spading harrow. Lay off into ii .. or i feet rows with scooter f. Mowed by a 10-inch shovel Drill in your fertilizers in the shovel furrow, iiun a scooter through the fertilizer and bed in the usual way. Knock off the beds with a board or harrow, just bgfore planting. C. M. C.. Porsyth. Ga., Dealers in fertilizers are contending that 2 per cent of ammonia in a fertilizer, it de rived from blood, is equal to 8 per cent of ammonia derived from cotton seed meal. We . aid be glad to have your opinion ou this subject—whether based on experience, or otherwise. If this claim is correct we want the farmers to know it. Answer by Director Redding.—The claim ‘ is without substantial founda tion in theory or practice. The effect of dried blood is very similar to that of cotton seed meal. At the same price per “unit” of nitrogen (ammonia) 1 would prefer the meal, because the latter contains notable qualtities of pliO SMIO'r-io tic-icl itiul potash, while the blood contains little more than a trace. Kelt her blood uor meal contains any ammonia, proper, as the nitrogen is present in organic form. We have tried blood in direct competi tion with cotton meal. <l. L. IV, Hatchers Station, Ga., —1 have some old fields that have been in pine thickets for a number of years— very good, stiff red clay soil. (1) How should it be prepared for cotton? (2) Best fertilizer and how much ? My idea is that phosphate is best for such land. (3) What time should the cotton be planted and what distance apart. Answer by Director Redding.—(l) Such land requires no special treat ment. The long rest from cultivation and the growth of old field pines, etc., has resulted in an increase in the sup ply of available phosphoric acid, pot ash and nitrogen; but the soil will still require a liberal application of a complete fertilizer in order to produce a large crop. (2) As you suggest, phos phoric acid is the principle element re quired ; but 1 would advise a “com plete" fertilizer, about as follows : Acid phosphate - - 250 pounds C S Meal .... 150 “ Kainit - - - - 50 “ 450 “ Apply the above to each acre. Break the ground close and deep : lay off rows to 4 feet apart, and deposit all of the fertilizer in these rows, except about 50 or 75 pounds, and bed on it, first running a scooter furrow though the fertilizer to mix it well with the soil, Get the best seed you can find, plant about April 10 to 15, apply the reserved fertilizer in the drill with the seed.
