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 Breeze is sending out state ments to those subscribers who are in arrears, and it is hoped that they will respond promptly with the amounts due.

Don’t put it off. Our collections during court week were not at all satisfactory. Some of our subscribers who have not paid up in two and three years put us off again this court. 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 Agricultural Department. £&errg Pectoral promptly relieves the cough, stop3 the tickling in the throat, and in duces quiet and refreshing sleep.
