Atlanta, May 1, 1^3 i.
a report ou crop conditions and aero
age compiled by thi first of May is in
many respects incomplete, yet contains
sufficient information to be of benefit in
arriving at more accurate data later in
the season.
It is the intention of the department,
as provided by law under this branch of
the report, to secure statistics of our
agricultural products for later compila
tiou. With this end in view we request
the reporters who have so efficiently
served the department, to make their
inquiries as extended ns possible with
the purpose of getting statistics that
will be praetie ly correct.
COTTON*.
In regard to our staple crop of cotton
it is gratifying to note that a small re
duction in acreage is reported, While
it would have been pleasing to record a
marked decrease in acreage, yet the fact
that the steps taken iu the last few
years to make cotton an independent
money crop have not been retraced is
cause for congratulation. It will be
from the tabulated statement that
tbe conditiou nn i 1)rospect compared to
an average of five years for the stato is
0 per ceut below the average, and that
this decrease in prospect is most marked
iu Southwest Georgia, while Middle
Georgia shows a condition nearly equal
to tho average of the last five years,

to the advanced condition of the crop in
Southwestern Georgia the decrease in
condition from the cold weather is
greater in that than in anyother section
of the state.
WHEAT.
As , ith corn, an lncrcasa in the acre
ego devoted to this cereal is shown. In
the corresponding report lor last season
we v ere pmased to note an increase in
acreage in the same crop and to stato
that the previous falling off in acreage
promises to be recovered. All North
Georgia and much of Middle Georgia is

called attention to tho best methods of
fertilizing and of cultivating this crop,
which we hope haa received tho auen
tion of our farmur%.
OATS.
No change in the acreage devoted to
this crop for the entire state is shown,
Southwest, Middle and East Georgia
show a slight gain which is lost in the
other sections oi the state. I or the en
tire state the condition and prospect
may be regarded aa poor.

Give me eotno remedy for weevils in
com. J. E. V*Fort Gaines.
How can 1 keep weevils from beans;
J. J. M. I., Buchanan.
The .bisulphide of carbon has been
very highly recommended for the de¬
struction of weevils. On this subject
we take the following by Mr. H. E.
Weed, of the Agricultural college of
Mississippi, fro m The Southern Planter:
lu the February number of Tb;
Planter is an article under the abut o
head, which treats of the methol of do
stroying weevils by means of bisulphide
of carbon. The article in question, kow
over, hardly gives the best method of
the application of tho bisulphide, nor
where best obtained. The bisulphide is
very useful as a remedy for any insects
which may work within sior^d seeds or
grain of any kind. It is best applied to
the grain by simply pouring a quantity
over the top of the grain to be treated,
When corn is harvested it should be
carefully examined for the grain insects,
and if they are present, as they general
ly are, the corn should receive treat¬
ment by ineaas of tho bisulphide reme¬
dy. It is best to have a tight bin for
this treatment, but this item is not es¬
sential to success, although the tighter
the bin the less amount of bisulphide it
will take for the treatment. In the case
of corn, also, if it is husked it will take
less of the bisulphide for the treatment.
There is no danger in the use of tho
bisulphide if only car® is taken to keep
fire of any kind away from it. While it
can be obtained from the drug stores at
a cost of from 20 to 40 cents par pound,
it is best obtained direct from the man¬
ufacturer, Edward R. . Taylor, of
Cleveland, Ohio, who sells it
in 50 pound lots at 10 cents per pound.
It will pay every farmer to get a 50
pound can, for it is one of the things
essential to successful agriculture, and
is something which should be kept on
tained hand at from all times. Taylor The bisulphide ob¬
Mr. is $ better pro¬
duct than that generally to be obtained
from the drug stores, as his “luma'’ bi¬
sulphide is prepared especially for the
treatment of grain pests,
Let me here call attention to the fact
{l little labor spent in the spying in
gathering up the weevils which often
swarm iu empty grainaries at this sea
B on will greatly lessen tho number of
the weevils which will attack the grain
the following autumn. The weevils in
^ 1Q empty or nearly empty grainaries
should be swept up * into a shovel anil
killed by p]acing in a pail containing ®
kerosene.
INFORMATION 'ON SPURRY.
Elaborate Experiments Have Been MikIg
at tho Experiment Station.
Will you kindly give me some infor
nation in regard to sparry as a forage
p] an ^ howto plant, etc.
T. W. W., Hamilton.
Elaborate experiments have been
conducted at the Michigan experiment
station with spurry from which we take
the following, as compiled by an agri
cultural paper, which will give a suc
ciuct answer to your inquiry:
This is a new plant to Michigan and
probably to most other states, ’ but is an
° ,, lu I^ , ari ^ ln 30me sections ,. Oi . the world, ,,
In Scotland it 13 called yarr and in Nor
W ay pickpurse; in Germany it is sown
among the stubble as a food for sheep
during winter. In France the j’ield of
spurry is estimated to be about equal to
a crop of clover or 7,700 pounds per
acre. The seeds are fed to cattle and
horses and supposed to be equal to rape
cako in value. In five or six weeks it
readies a height of 12 to 14 inches and
is said to be a valuable food for cows as
it improves the quantity and quality of
the butter.
Sown April 25 at the rate of 15 to 21
pounds per acre, it matures the last of
May and a second crop may bo raised,
It has been called the clover of sandy
Boli3 * Dr> Kedzie . who experimented
with it , on light sand at Grayling,
Mich., says that when partially ripened
1 P'owod tmder mth a very ehallow
furrow, it 13 self seeding and bears .an
abundant crop.' Its value as a manuri
al plant on these light sands is pro
nounced. Yvhen plowed under it en
ri(jhfa the eoll the m03 t rapidly of any
other plant he has used. It is a valua¬
ble fodder plant, being eaten readily by
cows or sheep; it is fi. plant of great
value for bringing sail .y lands into pro¬
ductive fields, especially is this true of
the jack pme barrens of that state.
The soil for spurry requires the same
preparation as that for clover, the seed
being sown aud harrowod in the same;
the seed i3 smaller than clover seed,
hQace ther0 afe morQ in nQmber per
pound. In harvesting 3 to 12 bushels of
seed per acre are obtained. Thick seed
ing gives an e\*9n field of fine pasture
and a heavy swath when cut for hay.
If the weather is warm and moist, the
field will begin to show of green the third
day from tho time seeding; it is
ready for mowing for hay in about 6
weeks and will ripen the seed in about
two months; for pasturing it may be
used in from 4 to 6 weeks.
The introduction of spurry as a for¬
age crop alone will prove of immense
benefit, but its nse as a manurial crop
is of much greater value. In an experi¬
ment more wheat was produced follow
mg spurray than where 300 pounds of.
phosphate was used per acre. At Gray¬
ling experiment farm, 10 acres were
broken in the spring and sown with
Bpurry, which was plowed under in Au
gust and the land sown witn wheat.
The land beside it was planted with
wheat following clover, and one beside
that following timothy, which ha ' been
fairly well covered with barnyard ma
nure. The wheat on the spurry fiold
went into winter looking stronger than
either of the other fields. Spurry is also
valuable plowed under as a fertilizer
in the orchards.
