It Should Teach an Important Lesson to the Planter—The Crop Will llar.lly Exceed That of East Year—Estimate of Yield of Staple Crops in the State and Their Market Value. Department of Agriculture, Atlanta, Dec. 1, 1894. Since the November report the weath er has been favorable for the gathering and moving of crops and work has pro gressed rapidly. COTTON. The continued decline in the price of our great staple crop upon which we have relied implicitly for the payment of obligations to the factor and supply merchant, is necessarily a oause for de pression. But as stated in our last issue we should learn a lesson, and whatever influences may be affecting the market, be certain, by a proper policy, that no part of the fault rests with us. With the picking of the crop we see no reason to change our former esti tes of the yield and adhere to the opin ion that it will little, if any, exceed that of last year. FROST. Frost during the month came too late to damage the crop in Middle and South Georgia, but the farmer in North Geor gia, who had put his low lands in cot ton, suffered materially, and even on uplands where the land was rich and the plant thrifty, the injury was severe. Especially was this the case where lands had been replanted late in the spring or the growth greatly retarded on account of the damaging frost of that period. A resume of the past season will not be found uninteresting as it presents several marked features. Soon after the plant had begun to grow a cold spell with frost came, which seemed through out North Georgia and portions even of Middle Georgia to damage the crop al most beyond repair. If illustrations of the remarkable recuperative powers of the plant were wanted none better could be found. At this period the prospect in the northern portion of the state was the most unpromising ever reported to the department. On the contrary, south ern Georgia, with a fair stand, gave promise of a good yield. With sunshine and shower, however, in North Geor gia, the plant rapidly recovered from a condition seemingly beyond repair of even the most propitious season, and month after month brought reports of An improved prospect throughout, that section. On the other hand, the southern por tion of the state the crop suffered from various vicissitudes of weather, plant disease and destructive insects, wit nessing each month a decline in condi tion until at the close of the season of growth and picking began the outlook for a large yield could not be regarded as favorable. other crops. As various other crops upon which we partially rely to support our farms and families and in some instances for money, have matured we have at least found some comfort in the fact that the yield per acre has not been below and has been in many instances above an average and that the general result in dicates that we are fast progressing to the good of southern agricultural inde pendence if not prosperity. Were each and every individual land owner and tenant to resolve upon and carry out a policy that would render his farm self sustaining it would go far, without agreed co-operation towards the solution of the much vexed and all important problem the reduction of the cotton acreage. cottonseed. We have often in these reports dealt with the question as to when it pays the farmer to sell his cottonseed and buy meal. Various conditions of price effect the decision at which we should arrive. We have no hesitancy in stating that at tne present price of cottonseed SB.OO a ton, and of cottonseed meal $17.00 to SIB.OO and even $20.00 when sold to the farmer; it is better to keep them as a fertilizer and for composting than to sell and purchase meal, etc. crop estimates. The department from carefully coin piled information gives the following as the estimated yield of staple crops in the state with their market value: Value. Cotton. .950.000 bales, s. 5tap1e..525,650,000 Cotton.. 40,000, “ .. 2,400,000 Corn 40,000,000 bushels, .. 20,000,000 Qats 6,000.000 “ .. 2,400,000 Rye 100,000 “ .. 75.000 Wheat.. 2,000,000 “ .. 1,200,000 R.

Pota.. 1,000,000 “ .. 750,000 Hay 100,000 tons .. 300,000 SEED. On the seed sent out by the depart ment and on the policy of the depart ment in the future in this regard, the following appears in the report to the governor: “Following the precedent of former years, the department during the year sent out a number of select seed, em bracing some new and untried varieties. The advisability of a general seed dis tribution is, however, in our opinion, to be questioned, and we are convinced that more satisfactory results are to be secured from agricultural publications than from such distribution. The policy of the department, therefore, for the coming year will be to only send out such seed which, not only m variety, but in character, have hitherto not re ceived sufficient investigation in the state. The work of the experiment farm has largely done away with the necessi ty of general seed distribution, as here variety test can be made with painstak ing care, which, by application, can be had in the bulletins of the station.” IS MAN A BRUTE? One English Woman Who Thinks That Many of Them Are. Among the wrongs of our sex which have been so freely ventilated lately, both on the platform and in the press, writes a well known Englishwoman, there is one which I have never seen alluded to, and yet it is an evil which has caused more misery to middle-class women than perhaps all the others combined —I mean the dreadful and cruel monotony of a middle-class mar ried woman’s existence. There are thousands —aye, tens of thousands —of women who from one week’s end to another never have any amusement, excitement ok change ex cept their Saturday marketing and Sunday church. Day after day there is the same dull routine of duty, which commences with the preparation of breakfast in the morning and con cludes with the arrangement of supper, with interludes of attention to serv ants, children and house cleaning. The average middle-class husband goes out every morning to business of some kind or other. He meets friends and acquaintances, enjoys the ever varying kaleidoscope of the busy streets and the smaller or greater excitement and pleasure to be derived from his profession or business. He returns after the labors of the day, enjoys his evening meal, and then indulges in his loose coat, slippers, armchair, newspaper and pipe. If his wife should suggest a walk or a visit to any place of amusement the man will plead that he is tired. No doubt he is, but so is the woman, and what a difference there is in their tiredness! She is tired of the four walls of her little house, of the silence and want of variety, in fact, she is yearning for what her husband is tired of. “I have been working all day,” the man will observe. So has the wife. “I have earned the change which I call rest.” So has the woman earned the change which she wants, but' she must not have it, because it does not please her lord and master. I believe that in the majority of cases this egotism on the man’s part is brought about through education, ig norance and want of thought. The intensely selfish manner in which most boys are educated causes them to think that the earth and the fruits thereof are all theirs, with the exception of the few they allow the women $o gather. The ignorance of the woman’s nature, of her wants and requirements, which, if they do not learn it as many men never seem able to grasp or under stand, and, finally, want of thought, which generally means too much thought—of himself. If that is the cause, the remedy is easily brought about. It merely re quires a little sacrifice on the part of the man, which most husbands will of fer when they know how much depends upon it, but should the effect be pro duced by want of heart I fear there is nothing for it but for the woman to bear her burden, as so many are at this moment nobly doing. It cannot be de nied that there are many men, or ani mals rather, who degrade humanity by their assumption of the name of man, who, while denying themselves noth ing in the shape of amusements and luxuries, always argue that “a wom an’s place is at home.” You might just as well say that a man’s place is at the office, and that therefore he should nev er be seen elsewhere. During the last few years woman’s position, both social and legal, has much improved, but justice will never be done to our sex until men are made to understand that their wives work as hard as they do, and that women re quire, have earned and deserve occa sional relaxation quite as much as they do themselves. —Chicago Times. The Difference. “What’s the difference between con ceit and self-esteem, anyhow?” “A great deal. Conceit ip the self esteem belonging to somebody else.” — Chicago Tribute. —ltasca is an Indian word, meaning “source of the river.” Bats In a Church. It is a queer fact that in the base ment of a certain Lewiston church live bats that never go out, but exist upon the mice they can catch there. The janitor says that a dozen of them will watch for a mouse, and when he ap pears swoop down on him, and after a lively little battle he is conquered, If any of the bats are overcome in the fray they are eaten, too. The base ment was entirely freed from them once. The furnace tender would leave the window Open till midnight, and then close it while the bats were out side, and they had to find another abode. —Lewiston Journal.
