DOUGLAS, GA. SATURDAY, NOV. ;>. 1898.
URGED TO VOTE.
Headquarters Democratic Executive Committee Codec County.
Douglas, Ga ., For. 7, 1898.
Dear Sir: —As you are aware, the congressional election will be held
on Tuesday, the Sth, instant. \\ hdc 1 know that you will do all that you can
in support of our candidate, lion. G. Brantley, still f desire to urge upon
you the importance of getting others interested in this m uter, and in getting
them to go out to the polls and to vo‘e against Republican rule in tins elec
tion.
I am satisfied that a large majority of our people are opposed to Republi
canism. They cannot afford to endorse or support it, and many votes should
be received this time for the Democratic candidate even from those who have
not been voting with us in the past several elections, if our friends will only
exert themselves a little in thirection.
Ours is now the banner Democratic district'in the State—our majority in
the late State election being nearly 10,000. Let us see to it then that we do
not loose ground in the coming election. Mr. Brantley is making a splendid
campaign. He helped us in oar State campaign—let us show our ap
preciation of it by placing old Coffee back in the Democratic column. We
can do it easily if our men will only go the polls and work after they get
there.
Please sec te getting out every possible voterw ho will be for Mr. Brantley
Unless we give this matter careful attention many may stay away from the
polls who ought to be there. The Republicans are working on the still hunt
plan in this county and we too must get to work and beat them. We can
not afford to give the county to th Republicans.
Again suggesting and believing that you will use your best efforts to help
us roll up a big majority on the St) . inst. I remain,
RESPECTFULLY,
P, WILLIS EAE/T, CHAIRMAN.
Sorghum ns a Forage l’lunt.
Question. —Is sorghum a good plant
for feeding green, and for making hay ?
If so what variety would you recom
mend, and how to plant and save ?
Answer. —Sorghum is a most excel
lent forage plant to feed either green or
to save as hay. It does best on rich,
loamy soils, but will do well
on any soil that will produce fair crops
of corn or cotton. Prepare the laud
well, and bed as you would for ootton
in 3 % feet rows, using from 800 to 400
pounds of a complete fertilizer. About
cotton planting time open a shallow fur
row and drill the seed—from a bjtlf
bushol to three pecks to the acre. Cul
tivate shallow and often. When grown
for forage it is not necessary to thin
out, though thinning is very essential
when the sorghum is grown for syrup
making. The “Early Amber” and
“Minnesota Early Amber” are excellent
varieties, as are also tho “Early Orange”
and “Kansas Orange.”
Sorghum will do better on thin soils,
and will stand drouth better than corn.
For making hay, cut soon after it begins
to bloom and put up in small shocks
until cured. For feeding green, cutting
should be begun as soon as the plants
begin to form heads. Stir the ground
with a cultivator or plow immediately
after harvesting a crop, and the sorghum
will continue to grow and make a
second and third cutting. Feed but
little at first, increasing the amount
day by day, until the stock become ac
customed to it. Stato Agricultural
Department.
About Subsolltng.
Question. —Is it not injurious to land
to subsoil at this season? lam a young
fanner, bat I have always heard that it
was dangerous to bring tho clay to the
surface after tho late fall or early
winter.
Answer. —Ton are under a misappre
hension as to the moaning of subsoil
ing. This is not a turning of the clay
to the surface, but it is the breaking up
of the subsoil at the bottom cf the fur
row, aud leaving It there. Thi3 may be
done by following, in the bottom of the
furrow, which is made by an ordinary
plow, with a long narrow “scooter,” or
a “bull tongue.” Or it may be accom
plished with one furrow, mado by a
subsoil plow, constructed especially for
this purpose. In either ease it is simply
breaking un the lower soil, which is
not reached by an ordinary plow. This
plan will expose it to the action of the
air, will drain it of surplus water or
make it more retentive of necessary
moisture, aud by thus increasing its
porosity or powers of absorption will
not only regulate the moisture for tho
nte of crops, but will bring into service
its heretofore locked up and insoluble
elements of plant food.—Stato Agri
cultural Department.

The Pen on t'ri'ji—Cunning Factories,
Question.—Can you give mo somo
idea of the size of this year’s peach crop
and its value to the growers? I mean
its net value.
Answer. —Wo can only approximate
tho size of tho crop, and as tho returns
are not yet roported can only form a
partially correct idea of its valuo. Bo
sides the large amount sold at homo,
and tho thousands of bushels wasted
from inadequate shipping facilities, and
the long continued rains, there were
shipped from Georgia 2,200 carloads of
peaches. As each car contains 000
crates of 8 pecks each, this represents
460 bushels to the car, iu round num
bers 990,000 bushels in all. It is gen
erally agreed that at least one-third of
the fruit was wasted. The demand for
orates was mwli larger than tho sup
ply. Tho peach crop matures and is
marketed in a very limited time, and
the delay in securing crates caused a
heavy loss of the most saleable pleaches,
while thousands of bushels, of second
quality, were either fed to tho pigs or
suffered to rot on the ground. Had
there been canning factories and evap
orators conveniently located much of j
this loss could have been prevented;
and instead of paying larger sums tho
coming season for canned and evapo
rated peaches shipped into tho stato
from outside sources, the home demalid,
always a steady one, could have boon !
supplied by our own people. Canning I
factories can be so quickly.crooted that
even after the crop has become set, end j
a fair estimate or its amount is thus j
rendered possible, enterprising workers j
may get everything iu readiness for j
utilizing the surplus fruit, should the
promise of tho crop justify the outlay, i
Under the conditions surrounding our
peach production, Georgia being the
largest producer and shipper in tho
Union, it will certainly pay to "gather
up the fragments, that nothing bo lost.” j
We trust that in the future adequate
arrangements will be made to utilize as
nearly as possible every bushol of Geor- \
gia's truly wonderful peach crop.—State

by many English observers as
specifics for consumption.”
Scott 9 s Emulsion
