FRE8ENT FINANCIAL DEPRESSION. tfforti to Remedy Them by Convention* and Resolutions—Cotton Manufacturing In tlie Sonth—It* Influence on Oar Ag¬ riculture—Othern Rasp Profit* Which We Should Have. Department of Agriculture, Atlanta, Dec. 1, 1894. The expected rise in cotton has not materialised, aud this closing month of 1894 finds farmers despondent aud dis¬ contented. This depression rules, not only in Georgia, but throughout the oountry agricultural conditions seem unsettled, aud northern and western, as well as southern farmers, review the year just passed with feelings of dis¬ satisfaction and uncertainty—dissatis¬ faction because of the low price of all agricultural products, aud uncertainty as to tho causes of this depression, and as to the best remedies for its relief—I have, during the last month, attended three meetings of farmers, one in Ma¬ con, oue in Atlanta aud one in Mont gomory, the last a representative body of men from all parts of tho south, called together by Agricultural Com¬ missioner Lane, of Alabama, to discuss, in convention assembled, tho low price of cotton, its causes, and, if possible, find a present means of pushing np the price. these I attended meetings because of my appointment Georgia as a delegate . , . . by tlte ... of governor of to one* and speoial Invitations to the others, but more, particularly, because being position placed by the farmers of this state in to wutoh over thoir interests, I felt .that those momentous questions should be studied from every standpoint, aud not because I believed that the price of Cot ton Could be favorably influenced by any set of resolutions, or by any Coil ventiou of men, however earnest. The result of the deliberations in these con* veutions has but confirmed my oft ex pressed aud resolutions firmly grounded conviction that while and conventions may accomplish good in more effectu ally fixing publio attention upon the mistaken system which has helped to place us itt our present straitened con aition, the means of lifting ourselves from the hands our agricultural depression is in and each of the farmers be themselves, man must the primary mover on his own farm in promoting the industrial revival which is already starting into life. To be convinced that this revival is beginning one needs only to feel the agricultural pulse, to talk with farmers from all sections, to hear their openly expressed resolve to plant largely of provision crops aud uot to abandon cotton, but govern it in Buch a way as will make it serve their best interests; and thou to look at the successful cotton faotories already here and those projected and now being built, We scarcely yet realize the important relation which thwe actones bear to the prosperity of the south. As a northern mail has said: “You have the streams With tho power—the fields witn tho staple. These advantages have heretofore been only partially appro dated. Wo have enjoyed the prestige which our large and, until late years, exclusive cotton crop gave us, but while we toiled for this distinction, others have stepped in and reaped tho profit which by right belongs to us, and which we have lost, first, from want of means, aud second, from want of appreciation of our oppor¬ tunity. Millions of dollars have been spent to transport the factories; millions more nave gone in various taxes, all of which should have been kept at home, here among whole onr own people. the But at last, the is waking country, and uot south alone, up to the exigencies of the situation. Northern manufacturing cap¬ ital is Booking an investment on south¬ ern soil, the capacity of southern mills already in sucoessful operation, is al¬ most without exocptiou being increased, iu some instances has been doubled, and men of all classes are looking forward hopofnlly facturing to the dayf%hen frill the manu¬ south, as os the agricult¬ ural lavishly south, profiting by advantages so bostowed.

Th« R«*t Time to Manure an Orchard aad th« Brit Application—The Use of Pot¬ ash as a Fertiliser—Feed for Cattle and Bow to Feed the Young—Many Other Valuable Suggestions. Department of Agriculture, Atlanta, Dec. 1, 1894. What is the proper amount of food to give a calf six months the old? In what proportion creased should quantity be in¬ as the calf grows older? & H. N., Buchanan. At the Age of six months a calf re¬ quires from 4 1-8 to 5 pounds of good hay or its equivalent for every IOC pounds of live weight* When 1 year old from 3 1-2 to 4 pounds for every 100 pounds of live weight* Or in percent¬ age from 9 1-8 to 4 per cent of its live weight. At 9 years old it will require 8 1-3 and later 8 per oent of its live weight dailyi It should be remembered that the im portant time to feed heifers intended for the best developments or any cattle is during the period of growth* Bough usage and unsuffieient food can be much better withstood after maturity than while younger* FERTILIZING THE ORCHARD.

The answer applies specifically to a young orehard on good land where too rapid growth might be produced by too heavy applications of rich stable ma nnre* Many horticulturists prefer fer¬ tilizer mixtures to stable matlttre, as it does not introduce insects or fungus germs into the orchard: Pure raw bone is excellent for the orehard. POTASH AB a FERTILIZER. potash What is yqfar fertilizer*especially opinion of the use gfindy pf as a on land? B-. A* T., Heudetson. We have had occasion several times ta call attention te the value of potash as a fertilizer, especially on sandy land. Hi that case it acts to prevent rust in cot¬ ton, a physiological condition duo to its absenoe, and also erther diseases due to microbes* In grain orops it gives strength to the straw and forms a part of the seed. If not sufficiently supplied the crop will suffer as greatly as from the absenoe of phosphoric acid and ni¬ trogen. We certainly advted experi¬ ments in which largbr quantities are used than are ordinarily supplied in our average commercial fertilizer* We might also mention that it is found that iu soils abounding in humus nitrifica¬ tion is most active, and that the great¬ est value from this nitrification is when there is on hand a large supply of pot¬ ash, aud tho nitrogen is flxfed as a ni¬ trate of potash—a desirable form. COMPORTING. What is the cheapest aud best meth¬ od ftfiure? of conipOsting stable and barn yard in In the last report you will find Parish Furman’s method, than which we ean recommend no better. For an ordinary fertilizer use 1,000 pounds of stable ma¬ nure, 600 pounds of aoid phosphate, 800 pounds of cottonseed meal and 100 pounds of kainlt. If your land is Bandy use 900 pounds of kainit* SOFT PHOSPHATE. I am continually in receipt of circu¬ lars relating to soft phosphate. Do yon regard it highly as a plant food, and would you advise its use? L. M. T.* Blakeley* The department has received many inquiries on this subjeot, and shortly after the question as to the value of soft phosphates Was first raised an ar¬ ticle appeared in these reports by Dr, Payne On their value as shown by ana¬ lysis. Since that time the question has been experimentally investigated at a number of tho stations, but with such varying results as to prevent definite conclusions. From them it would seem that it would be difficult as yet to de¬ termine the comparative value between it and aoid phosphate, or to lay down general rules as to the advisability of its use. Other scientific questions have also entered the discussion, the principal of which is the solubility of soft phos¬ phates in the aoids of the soils and the effect of on abundant snpply of humus or organio matter in rendering them available. These questions are matters to be de¬ termined by careful experiments, and will govern, to a large extent, the use of this class of fertilizers and the char¬ acter of soil on which they should be applied. To determine the effect of or¬ ganio matter on natural phosphate the Alabama station at Auburn conducted a series of experiments in which soft phosphates were placed with cottonseed meal and fermentation and decay al¬ lowed to take plaoe. In order to ascertain whether in the chemical action or change taking place in the organic matter the inaolnble phosphates were rendered available, analysis were made to find the amount of available phosphorio acid at differ¬ ent periods and stages af the fermenta¬ tion and decay until the conclusion of the experiment. These analysis showed comparatively no increase in the amount of available phosphorio aoid from the action of the meal, They indicate, so far as the phosphoric acid of natural phosphates becoming available in the soil is ooncerned, that it is immaterial whether it is used with material con¬ taining organic matter, or whether as so this particular feature of its use Che land is well supplied with organic mat¬ te^ or not. look, ILook!
