A QUILTING PARTY.
At about 8:30 o’clock a. m. we all ar
rived at the residence of Mr. J. Y. Thax
ton to enjoy aa old fashion quilting.
M iss Mattie met all with a sweet smile,
and a warm welcome to all. We worked
away until dinner was announced and to
the surprise of all every crowd of ladies
brought up its quilt. We quilted four
by 12 o’clock, and had the best dinner
we have had the good luck to sit down
to in a long time. It was like the lady
who prepared it—it was nice and sweet,
and after we had finished eating and
talked awhile, the ladies put in another
quilt, after completing it we bound all
live of them. There were three old time
ladies that quilted one with a little help
from Mrs. Mangham, Aunt Emiline,
Aunt Cat and Mrs. Caston, all nice old
widows and have been since the war.
They also, as well as Misses Mattie and
Fannie, deserye some of the praise for
our good dinner. We bade the good
ladies good bye and departed for our
homes at 5 o’clock. The young girls re
mained to have a go-round.

The old widowers have begun to ride
out on Sunday afternoons. Look out
girls. I was ata.place not long ago and
an old coon was there. It was not long
until his oldest son came, and he found
business somewhere else. I guess he
went to see the widowed mother.

COM PLANTING SEASON.

Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, March 1, 1894.
First 1 wish to call attention to a
typographical error in last month’s re
port, which makes me say exactly the
opposite of what I intended —that, is
that poor land can bear more fertilizer
than rich land. The fact I wished to
emphasize is that poor land will not re
spond to large amounts of commercial
fertilizer, and that there is no more
effective way to “burn up” a crop than
to apply several hundred pounds to land
which, though originally good, has been
in clean culture for several successive
years, and is consequently almost desti
tute of vegetable matter or humus. To
make the commercial fertilizer most
effective, this humus must be supplied
by either green crops or composts, and
until there is a moderate amount of this
necessary ingredient restored to the soil,
we must be, if we would realize any cor
responding profit for our investment,
careful as to the amount of fertilizer
used. Ouce our lands are filled with
humus, we can venture on heavy and
sure paying application of the commer
cial goods. The
UNFAVORABLE WEATHER
During the latter part of January and
the first of February has much retarded
out work, but the deficit of 17 inches
in the annual rainfall must be made up
at some time, and perhaps it is better
just now than later, when the seeds
have been put in the ground and the
young plants find it almost impossible to
push their way through the crust which
must inevitably form after very heavy
rains.
March is essentially the month for
CORN PLANTING
throughout the state. The first of April
usually finds the bulk of the crop put in,
although owing to later springs, and
some changes of methods, the time for
planting is delayed, perhaps a week,
later than in former years. As to the
proper time of planting one must he
guided by circumstances. Borne very
succesful planters, maintain that the
crop should be planted as early as possi
ble after the Ist of March, even where
the opening plow breaks the frost crust.
This may succeed in some localities aud
on some qualities of land, but, as a rule,
my experience lias been, that it is better
for the land to become somewhat warm
ed up before putting the seed in. I have
planted, when the mornings were icy,
and winter still lingered in the air, and
although I now advocate early planting,
I think we should be somewhat guided
by natural indications as the swelling of
the hickory and maple buds and other
fore runners of spring. I have often
noticed, that where this precaution is
observed, and the plants get a good start,
a severe nipping by a late frost is no dis
advantage, for while the top may be
temporarily checked, the root growth
still progresses, and the consequence is
a sturdy vigorous plant.
If an early crop is desired, it is well
to plant only a part of the crop, thus
leaving the bulk for later planting. This
early crop often matures and makes a
food crop, when the main crop is cut off
y drought.
The seed for the main crop should be
such as has been tested and found suited
to each locality. For the early crop
select the best tested variety of early
maturing seed, and plant on warm lands,
having, if possible, a southern exposure.
One advantage of this plan is, that the
cultivation of this early planting does
not conflict with that of the cotton crop,
as is often the the case, where the entire
corn crop is planted later. Another ad
vantage is, that the tendency of early
planted corn is to smaller stalks and
heavier ears, two very desirable points
in our climate where excessive stalk
growth is one of the disadvantages to be
guarded against. After years of expe
rience and experiment, I believe that
PLANTING IN THE WATER FURROW
is the surest and safest. It was the plan
pursued by that eminently successful
farmer, David Dickson of Hancock, and
greatly conduces to the level culture
now almost universally conceded to he
the only true method. I have found
that a good plan is to plant the seed in
the water furrow, three feet apart, and
the rows should be at least five, six, or
even seven feet—the latter was Dixon s
rule, and to avoid the injury, which the
water*flowing through the furrow might
cause, cover with a double foot plow,
having short narrow bull tongues. The
little ridge thus made protects the seed
and young roots from any damage that
might result from the flow of water,
and while the seed are not too heavily
covered, they are still a good deal below
the surrounding surface. Any one who
has studied the habits of the corn plant
knows that the roots are formed at each
joint and above the first set, and if the
seed are planted too deep these first
roots are superceded by others thrown
out in all directions from each successive
ring. As the corn develops, seeking for
light and heat and air, all of which at
this season, must come from above,
our object should be to make the first
roots do full duty. To accomplish this
our plan of planting and
cultivation
should be such as to cause them to de
velop near enough to the surface to take
in a sufficient supply of air and sun
shine, and yet not too near to be injured
by unexpected or unfavorable extremes
of weather, md as each successive set
of roots is developed to throw a littl
more soil to he plant, thus giving tk<=
stalk a firm hold in the soil.
David Dick: in’s plan of cultivation was
to use only the sweep, sifting a little
dirt to the corn each time, until at the
third and last plowing the field was left
perfectly level, and the corn, with
healthy, vigorous roots thoroughly im
bedded in the earth. But this presup
poses the land thoroughly broken and
the soil finely pulverized throughout.
Where the field is rough, a long, nar
row scooter run next to the young plants,
opens a furrow, which admits the heat
and light from below, and by leaving
this furrow open, until we turn back to
work the “middles,” the routs are en
couraged to strike deeper into the soil,
and thus perform tne:r full function in
supporting the plant. As the upper
roots forln, the cultivation should be
such aa to throw a little more dirt to the
plant, until tne nuai plowing leaves tuo
field perfectly level, and only the last
circle of “brace” roots visible. By this
plan there is no “hilling up.” and no
hoeing, beyond perhapa a little, when
the corn is thinned out to one stalk to
each three feet.
MANURING.
Corn is a greedy feeder, and will take
up almost any kind of manure. Ihe
question of applying in the drill or broad
casting depends on the quantity to be
used; the time of application depends on
the quality of the manure. Better re
sults are obtained from heavy compost
and barnyard manures, by putting them
in early—broadcasting large amounts —
covering lighter applications in the drill.
Time is thus given for the chemical re
action and combination, which at once
begins, aud the same may be said of
phosphates. On level laud, where the
ordinary commercial fertilizer cannot he
washed away, it is entirely safe to apply
in February. Cottonseed meal should
be applied later, and nitrate of soda at
planting time or even later. The man
ner of applying fertilizers should be
guided by the amount. If only a small
quantity is used, say 100 to 200 pounds,
it is best to put in the drill, the thinner
the soil, the greater the risk of heavy ap
plication in the drill, and this should be
thoroughly incorporated with the soil,
not put in a narrow line, or in little
spots near the seed. If heavier applica
tions are made, it is better to broadcast
or put in adjacent furrows, at the first
and second working, thus it will be more
evenly distributed, injury from drought
is less probable, aud the roots, in seek
ing food, will spread out, instead of con
centrating at one point.
CORN PAYS
on bottom land or very rich upland, but
not on poor land. All such land will be
better and more profitably planted in
peas. The yield is excellent stock feed,
and will improve instead of maring
out the land. Oats and peas alternated,
will furnish all the stock feed needed
and at far less cost, and the land is put
in condition to yield heavy crops of corn
and cotton. On average uplands a good
mixture for corn is as follows:
Cottonseed meal 200 lbs.
Superphosphate 100 lbs.
Kainit 50 lbs.
If the land has been in peas, use less
meal and more superphosphate. For
good land or fresh bottom land the fol
lowing:
Cottonseed meal 200 lbs.
Superphosphate 200 lbs.
Kainit 50 lbs.
As I have advised before it is cheaper
for the farmers to buy the ingredients
and do the mixing themselves. If farm
ers will take the time and the trouble,
they can buy the crude materials, and
by doing this work at home, save that
expense which is usually about $3 or $4
a ton.
PREPARATION FOR COTTON.
If the land has been thoroughly and
deeply broken, the further preparation
is comparatively easy and rapid, partic
ularly if a cultivator is used in making
the beds. One man with two horses
and a cultivator can accomplish as
much in a day as four men and four
mules by the old method of single plows.
The plan is to layoff the furrows, ac
cording to the strength of the land, al
lowing ample distance for the full de
velopment of the plant, and for light,
air and heat to have free access to all
parts; put in the manure and the culti
vator will do the rest very rapidly.
Where the land has nftt been well
broken—and there has been so much un
favorable weather that many farmers
have been disappointed in carrying out
their good intentions in this matter
open, put in the manure and run a sub
soiler, a long scooter will do, in the
same furrow. This serves the double
purpose of thoroughly incorporating the
manure with the soil and of furnishing
a deeper bed, into which the cotton,
which it must be remembered is a tap
rooted plant, can send its roots for food
and moisture, and thus become more
thoroughly fortified against our inevita
ble drouth.
I have seen the ground in a cotton
field, after a long drouth, covered with
young forms and bolls, while near by on
land better prepared, but with this ex
ception, under the same conditions, the
plants were green and vigorous, and
though not taking on much additional
fruit, retainining and developing in a
healthy condition that already formed.
The bulk of the cotton crop will not
be planted before April, and much of
the land to be devoted to this crop has
yet to have the first furrow put into it.
Let me urge that the preparation as
much as possible, be deep and thorough.
This once accomplished the rest is com
paratively easy, and every dollar ex
pended on fertilizers will then make
some adequate return. In bedding with
a single plow it is advisable to throw a
list on the fertilizer furrow, and finish
out the bed after this list is completed.
By this plan, when we afterwards open
the furrow for the seed, we have a fresh,
clean mellow bed, ready for their favor
able reception and germination. The
bed should never be high and the seed
should be the best. In regard to
FDRTILIZING COTTON.
What has been previously said of corn,
applies with equal force, if the land is
poor, heavy applications of commercial
fertilizers, either brodcast or drilled are
too riskv. and on such, lands 100 or 200
pounds to the acre will not pay, at pres
ent price of cotton, for the cost of pro
duction. It is best to throw out of cul
tivation, on cotton at least, every such
unprofitable acre. What is the use of
straining every nerve, exacting tribute
from every resource of the farm, and
then selling the product below its cost ?
It is gratifying to note that we are grad
ually emancipating ourselves ffom the
ALL COTTON BONDAGE.
Farmers are beginning to realize their
mistake, and to see that our true policy
is to make an abundance of home sup
plies, ahd then as much cotton as possi
ble, and at the lowest possible cost.
Suppose, during the year just passed,
the old reckless plan of crowding every
available acre in cotton, and depending
on the west for bread and meat, had
been universally followed ? It is ap
palling to think of the distress, under
Which we would now be struggling. In
many instances; the burden of debt vet
press heavily, and in addition to this
suffering we’would hear the cry for food
throughout the length and breadth of
the land, and no money and no credit
with which to purchase it. But thanks
to agricultural forsight, born of bitter
experience, there is more fcod in Geor
gia than for years past, and while the
million of unemployed in the cities and
towns of the United States are engaged
in a hand to hand struggle with starva
tion, the average Georgia farmer,
though he may have little ready cash,
has at least a year's support for his fam
ily safely assured.
He may not fully realize it yet, hut
this is the principal point in reducing
the cost of making cotton, and a long
step gained towards placing himself on
the plane of independence and wealth.
GRASS AND CLOVER.
The last of February and the first of
March is a good season in which to sow
grass and clover. Where the land has
been specially prepared nothing more is
necessary than to sow the seed and roll
it in very lightly. If the seed is to be
sown on the growing grain, run a har
row over the field first. This will be
then sow the seed. The rains will be
sure to settle them in place.
BERMUDA GRASS.
A farmer who has had years of expe
rience with Bermuda says: “1 would
not give Bermuda for all the other
grasses grown in the south, and I have
never failed to get rid of it when I
wished.” Ef plan of exterminating it
is as follows:
Plow deep and harrow thoroughly in
the spring and as early as it will do,
plant speckled peas broadcast, plow in
lightly and roll with a heavy roller.
When peas begin to ripen gather enough
to reseed; then mow. Plow up immedi
ately, prepare well, and sow again. Mow
the second crop as late as possible to es
cape frost, and sow on the land oats, or
turnips, if preferred, and the next
spring no Bermuda grass can b 9 found
in the field. Roots of Bermuda may be
set at any time during the spring, but
March is best. Sets put out now on
freshly plowed land will take possession
by next winter. After the land has been
plowed lay off shallow furrows and drop
the sets, or piecies of the sod, every two
or three feet, covering with the foot.
With a knowledge of the above plan for
subduing it, perhaps fewer farmers will
hesitate about trying a crop of Bermuda
hay. Those who have done so are su
perlative in its praise.
If the fall sown grain has a
YELLOW, SICKLY APPEARANCE,
the indication is that nitrogen is needed,
which can be supplied by a top dressing
of nitrate of soda, or sulphate of am
monia, 50 or 75 pounds to the acre. This
form of nitrogen is best, as it is not lia
ble to evaporation.
THE GARDEN.
In this month we can plant all of the
earlier and many of the later vegetables.
The land should be deeply broken and
have abundant manure, and the rows so
arranged that the cultivation can be
done mostly with the plow. By this
plan the garden, while as a whole not
perhaps so attractive to the eye,* can be
kept freer from weeds and grass, and at
far loss trouble and expense. The work
can be done at odd half hours, and the
time never missed from the crop. An
abundant supply of good, wholesome
vegetables enables the farmer to sensi-
bly reduce his expense account, and is
far more conducive to health than the
more costly meat and bread.
Don’t forget to look carefully after the
HOGS.
Now t is the time that the pigs should
have the closest attention and plenty of
food. The cheapest bacon is from the
hogs raised and slaughtered under a
year, and February and March pigs are
the most profitable, if properly attended
to. Buttermilk slops from the kitchen,
cornmeal cooked, and any green and
nutritious food, all yield a larger per
cent now than later, and if withheld,
will have to be supplied in a greater de
gree, and at a period of growth, when
the outlay will be more sensibly felt.
Bud out a few
SWEET POTATOES
for early slips. The potato likes a
loamy, light soil, and plenty of potash.
In applying artificial fertilizer to the po
tato crop, use that in which potash pre
dominates, with some acid phosphate
and a little cottonseed meal.

WHAT GOOD ROADS MEAN.
Some time ago I wrote you in regard
to opening in the reports of the depart
ment a space devoted to our roads as a
special adjunct to the farm. This you
did, but as no one has had anything to
say on the subject, will you give some
of the advantages of good roads to the
farmers of the state, that we may all be
come more interested in this important
subject. A. L. 1., Gainesville.
The advantage of good roads to the
farmer has thus been tersely and clearly
presented under the title of ‘‘What Good
Roads Mean ’:
They would make it possible for the
farmers to take advantage promptly of
the highest market, no matter at what
season of the year.
They would save him days and weeks
of time which he wastes every year
wallowing through the disgusting mire
of dirt roads.
They would reduce to a minimum the
wear and tear on w’agons and carriages.
They would lesson the expense in keep
ing horses in working order, and fewer
horses would be required in the country
to perform the farmer’s work.
They would require less to keep them
In repair than do the dirt roads.
They would make it easier for a team
to pull several tons over their smooth
surface than to draw a wagon through
the mud.
They would aft'o-d ready communica
