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. Eva Thaxton. DELTA GROVE, Mr, Editor: —There is not much news to write, and as it is the first letter I ever wrote for publication, I know it will be a poor one. The spring is open ing and the girls and boys have begun to go fishing and enjoy themselves gather ing the wild flowers as they stroll up and down the banks of the oldTowaliga river 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. Prof. W. T. Aiken has a flue school at Delta Grove. He is well qualified and is bringing up his pupils to be useful in the world. Miss Levie King, of this place, will leave for Louisiana in a few days, where she will find her husband. There has been a blue-footed Martin sailing over this neighborhood every since Christmas. We can't imagine what it means unless it is to find his mate. Some girls were setting a dumb sup per the other night and saw a pantless boy.

His Monthly Talk to the Farmers of the Stale of Georgia. COM PLANTING SEASON. Experiments in Farming-, Renovation and Rotation, Success in Cotton Plant ing, Fertilizers, Orcliard and Garden. 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. R. T. Nesbitt. 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.
