THE INCOME TAX.
The income tax law will take five or
six hundred dollars out of Jackson.
The question suggests itself: What
does i< amount to in larger cities?
lhe truth is, this law will raise mil
lions of dollars. Had the law passed
so as- to tax incorporations as it does
individuals, that is, apply to incomes
of over four t housand dollars, it would
have been a good law. We cannot
see why incorporated bodies should
have to pay on all their income. We
know men who are not worth more
than fifty dollars, who will have to
pay an income tax. It seems this
enormous revenue should pay the
public debt in a few years.
DUTY.
It is every man’s duty to keep him
self informed as to the st atus of affairs
under which he lives, and under which
t hose for whose existence he is respon
sible, or at least instrumental in
bringing into this world.
The most important of all carnal
matters to all men is the government
under which they live. No man who
has sense enough to see an inch from
his nose would be willing to leave his
estate to his children incumbered with
mortgages or debts of any kind, and
yet many are careless as to the condi
tion of his government—t he one sure
legacy to be inherited by every man’s
child. There is not one particle more
sense or reason in leaving your estate
in debt. Now anyone who has ever
given political economy even a pass
ing notice will see at a glance thet no
species of debt can benefit this gov
ernment. The truth is, we should
never indorse a government bond or
debt of any kind; if we need any
money and can’t create it now, we
never can create it and had better do
without it.
All over the country the people are wearing
shabbier clothes than they used to wear, and
they will get shabbier and shabbier every year
until the honest voters of the country throw
off the yoke of the British gold standard.—At
lanta Constitution.
The above is true as to our section.
© know men who are wearing
clothes now that once they would
long since have given to their colored
help. We know a man who is worth
fifteen thousand dollars under the
double standard, who has only one
pair of pants and wont get more be
cause he don’t want them charged.
e know another who owns six or
eight hundred acres of land who wears
patched clothes to meeting, and they
are not patched on the seat either.
iho populists, the cotton growers’
protective association, the repubh.
cans, the democrats, the rumors o
war, nor the devil and all his imps,
will be able to side-track the people
as to the cause of the present depres
sion. The people have been robbed
of half their money by gold bugs, and
thej are going to have their constitu
tional rights.
There are $2.51 per capita in gold,
coined and uncoined, in the world;
there are $2.58 per capita in silver,
coined and uncoined? in the world.
Ihe total amount of the precious
metals is $5.09 per capita. Surely it
would not create a plethora of money
to coin all we could get of both gold
and silver.
Governor Atkinson is making a rec
ord as governor of Georgia that equals
his enviable record in the legislature.
M e will watch his career in the United
with pleasure and grat
ification. He is simply one of those
men the people want most and can’t
do without.
Silver has not depreciated, but gold
has appreciated. An ounce of silver
will buy as much wheat or cotton as
it did in 1873. Gold has doubled in
value or purchasing power on account
of favorable legislation, while silver,
wheat,.cotton and all other commod
ities have kept a steady decline.

VABIETY TES t OF COTTON.
rur Dibbctoh R. j. Redding. l
Fiiteen varieties were planted in
competition with each otner. The test
was raaueon a two acre section of third
years land which had been in corn the
previous year. The general yield was
not so large on this fresh land as it was
in the variety test of the previous year,
showing that even this land which is
exceptionally well adapted to cotton,
did not equal the productiveness of the
very old land on which the test was
made the year before.
By comparing these results with
those of the previous year, as far as the
same yarieties were planted both years,
it will be noticed that there is a con
siderable change in the order* in which
the leading varieties stand. This sus
tains the remark heretofore made that
one experiment, or one years test, can
not, as a rule, determine with exact
ness which is the best variety, or meth
od, or anything of the kind. 1 repeat
just what was said in Bulletins Nos.
‘2O and ‘l4 :
“It was not the aim to test every va
riety of cotton for sale by seeimen.
Many of the so-called varieties are
substantially identical with others,
differing only in name. It is not unusual
for one enterprising grower of seeds
to cultivate a good variety for several
3'ears, and then offer seed of it under a
new name (usually including his own
personal name), 'ihis species of mild
iraud can oniy be justified under the
plea that the original variety has been
changed aud improved in some impor
tant respects. It may be well to re
mark, as has been done before, that a
variety test confined tocne season is by
no means conclusive, when the differ
ences in yields are small. One may be
a small, dwarfish variety, and require
narrower rows or closer planting than
another, and each be favorably or un
favorably affected by the weather con
ditions prevailing at the period most
critical in the growth of that particular
variety.
Avery early variety of cotton ma
tures the greater part of its fruit
during July a’jd August, and is practi
cally independent of the weather that
may prevail in September and Oetober.
These remarks apply in the present
experiment to those varieties which
show a larger comparative yield of
cotton at the first and second pickings;
and in general, their truth has been
illustrated during the past four years’
experiments with varieties in the fact
that no one variety has uniformly
given best results.”
The large table in Bulletin No. 27 is
here divided into three sections, each of
which explains itself.

Section 3, above, gives the value of
the total yield of lint per acre, of each
variety, the value of the seed and ths?
total value of both, estimating the lint
at 5 cents per pound and the seed at Is
cents per bushel.
The following table sh nvs the char
acteristies of each of the fifteen v >rle
ties, including actual yield. These
characteristics are given in order of
merit, or supposed merit; for instance:
No. 1, in each of the columns 1 to 9, in
dicates that the variety excel* in the
characteristic at the head of the col
umn ; No. 2 next, and so on. In col
umn 5 it is assumed, for simple conven
ience, that the quality of yielding a
large percentage of lint to the cwt. of
seed cotton, is meritorious, and the
scale is arranged accordingly, the va
riety yielding the largest percentage of
lint rating No. lin that column. So in
column No. 7, small size, or “smallness’
of seeds, is assumed as a point of merit,
and Knight’s improved small seed
stands No. 1. However, it is by no
lacauo au.att.vca •.*-** c-iGCiAGiicc a*a ci*
ther of these respects is desirable —is
really excellence. A careful study of
table No. 7 will prove interesting and
valuable, as showing that there is no
close correspondence between size of
seed or yield of lint per cwt. of seed
cotton and the yield of lint per acre.
If a variety of cotton “more than thirds
itself,” i. e. if it yields more than 33}£
pounds of lint per cwt. of seed cotton,
it is by no means an indication that
such variety will yield the largest re
turns of vaiue per each acre planted.

It will be readily admitted that that
variety is most valuable to a farmer
which will produce the largest return
of valuable products. Now examine
the table. Notice the numbers in col
umn No. 9, which represents the order
in which the several varieties stand in
regard of the total value of the seed
and lint produced per acre. This be
ing the most important and significant
point, the varieties are put down in
Table No. VII in the order of their
merit in this respect.
Note some remarkable features:
Jone's Improved stands as follows: In
total yield of seed cotton, Ist; in total
yield of lint. 2nd; in yield of seed, Ist;
in large size of boll, 2nd; in earliness,
4th ,and in value of total products, Ist.
But in yield of lint per cwt. of seed cot
ton, Jone’s Improved stands 11th and,
in smallness of seeds it is 14th, its seeds
being next to Duncan’s (which has the
largest). King’s Improved comes close
up to Jone’s Improved in value of total
products, its large yield of lint to seed
bringing it to second place. In this
test earliness was a very important ele
ment of success. The King cotton was
the earliest and lost a smaller proportion
by the fall frosts. The King is also of
rather a small size, as shown in column
13, table 6, or column J in table 7. It
requires, or will admit of, a little closer
planting than most other varieties.
In regard to the yield of lint per cwt.
and the size of the seeds, the relation
seems pretty constant; the larger seeds
being associated with the smaller per
centage of lint. The same is true in're
gard to the size of bolts and size of
seeds, large boils being associated with
large seeds, small bolls with small
seeds, and medium bolls with medium
seeds. Other interesting comparisons
may be made by one vvno closely stud
ies Table No. 7 in connection with Ta
ble No. 0.
CONCLUSIONS.
It is hardly necessary to announce
any formal conclusions, since each va
riety speaks for itself in the tables giv
en. It may be remarked, however, in
favor of the small-seeded varieties, and
those that yield a large percentage of
lint—these two qualities generally be
ing associated in the same variety—
that they are better suited to thin or
moderately fertilized soils, since they
make smaller drafts on the soil; while
the larger boiled, larger seeded varie
ties are perhaps better adapted for
high culture, for strong or liberally
manured soils.
Doubtless the station will receive
many inquiries for seed of one or more
of the varieties that have been tested
above. In anticipation of such inquir
ies, it should be stated that we' cannot
undertake to supply seeds, chiefly be
cause of the very small quantity of
each variety; and, secondly, because of
the fact that the varieties were all
grown on two acres, rows alongside of
each other, and the seeds therefore
cannot be relied on as pure and un
mixed. Inquirers are referred to the
following list of dealers and growers,

A Test of Florida Soft Phosphate on Cottoc
The object of this test was to find
whether “Florida Soft Phosphate”
could be used in place of acid phos
phate, in compounding a fertilizer for
cotton. The result showed, as conclu
sively as -one experiment may prove
anything, that “Florida Soft Phos
phate” cannot take the place of acid
phosphate; nor does its action compare
even fayorably with that of acid phos
phate. Readers are referred to the full
details in Bulletin No. 27.
“Natur.il Plant Food.”
Certain parties are attempting to sell
a form of “Florida Soft Phosphate,”
under the name of “Natural Plant
Food.” Farmers are again cautioned
to beware of “Natural Plant Food,” so
called. The Hon. R. T. Nesbitt, Com
missioner of Agriculture, informs me
that it cannot be permitted to be sold
in Georgia under such name.
Fertilizer Formula for Cotton.
The experiments for several 3-ears
past on the Station farm indicate that
on the soils of middle Georgia a fertili
zer for cotton should contain about the
following proportions of the three val
uable elements:
Available Fhosph ric Ac id 10
Potash 3
Nitrogen 3
It is by no means essential that there
shall be just 10 per cent of phosphoric
acid, or just 3 per cent each of potash
and nitrogen; but what is meant is this
that whatever the percentage of phos
phoric acid the others should be pres
ent in the mixture in the proportions
above given. For instance, if a fertili
zer contains 12 per cent of phosphoric
acid it should contain 3.0 per cent each
of potash and nitre gen; or perhaps it
would be simpler to say that a cotton
fertilizer should contain as much pot
ash as of nitrogen and about 3% times
as much phosphoric acid as of each of
the others.
These relative proportions would be
supplied by the following formula :
Formula No. ft.
Acid Phosphate 1 ,000 pounds—cost $ 6.00
Muriate of Potash 100 pounds cost 2.01
Cotton meal 700 pounds cost f.SG
1,800 pounds cost $14.34
This would cost about 80 cents per
hundred pounds, or §16.00 per ton. It
would analyze about as follows:
Avai'able 8.00 per cent
Potasa (8 0) .2.80 per cent
Niirogen 2.75 per cent
8 VEE r POTATOE j.
fßy Htgh X. Starnes. Horticulturist.!
The following brief summary of Bul
letin 25 (November, 1894) on the above
subject, covers all of the more import
ant points. The conclusions are based
upon the result of two years tests with
fertilizers, though most of, the other
tests were only made the past season.
It must be remembered that the order
of yield given in the variety test is
liable to be changed by another year's
experimentation, although it is not
probable that any radical variation will
appear, and in a general way the same
order will be maintained.
FERTILIZER.
1. A compound of 320 pounds acid
phosphate. 360 pounds cotton seed meal
and 640 pounds kainit, in all, 1,320
pounds per acre, costing, approximate
ly, §11.39, secures the best results. Pos
sibly the amount of kainit —in Middle
and North Georgia—could be advanta
geously reduced to 400 pounds, though
in the pine region it should be main
tained at the figure first given.
2. Cotton seed meal is preferable to
nitrate of soda as a source of nitrogen
(ammonia.)
3. Kainit is preferable to muriate of
potash as a source of potash.
4. Florida soft phosphate appears to
be equally as valuable as acid phos
phate, the difference, if any. being
rather in its favor. This shows that
the sweet potato is decidedly indiffer
ent to phosphoric acid in any form,
compared with the other elements of
plant food, since all of the phosphoric
acid in soft phosphate is in an insoluble
form when first applied.
5. The finely pulverized condition of
soft phosphate is a great objection to
its use, rendering it extremely difficult
to handle without loss. There is not a
sufficient difference in price between
the two forms of phosphate to render
soft phosphate at present an active
competitor to acid phosphate unless the
ascertained results were more emphatic
in its fayor.
MISCELLANEOUS TESTS.
1. Ridge Culture. —This pays if the
season is a wet one. It does not pay in
a dry summer. On the whole it is not
recommended; level culture is prefer
able.
2. Pinching Rack. —Pinching or pru
ning the vine periodically during the
summer is a deleterious practice aud
should be abandoned.
3. Loosening Vines. —Loosening the
vines along the middies during the sea
son to prevent them from rooting
is also injurious. Possibly in a very
wet year it might prove beneficial.
4. Distance. —Four foot rows and
eighteen inches in the row is still rec
commended as the proper distance for
setting draws or slips.
5. Doubling Slips. —Putting two slips
or draws to the hill appears to produce
more potatoes, but the result needs
confirmation.
VARIETY TESTS.
The following is the order of yield
ascertained for thirty-three varieties.
This order, as previously explained is
liable, of course, to change from sea
son to season:

point of quality is the Georgia Yam , but
it is unproductive. The best combina

quite productive. It may be obtained
from the John C. Bucher. 19 S. Broad
