ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG ONES He Repeats Some of the Timely Sug. gestions of Last Year, Laying Stress Upon Raising Abundant Corn and Forage Cic; s. Although the season is backward, resembling in that respect the condi tions of one year ago, faithful and skill ful work will, without some special hindrances, give us good crops for the coming summer and fall. The experienced and successful farm er needs no advice as to the best method to be pursued m order to make his land yield abundant crops; but so long as there shall be coming into the agricultural field new and in ;V experienced toilers, so long will there be need of line upon line and precept upon precept* Hence, the necessity ol repeating in part advice already given from year to year. The old farmer, when ho sees in agricultural journals and monthly talks of commissioners, the same familar things in substance,, (however changed in expression), may turn away and exclaim “The same old song and dance!” But to the young farmer desiring all the light that he can get, these same hackneyed themes are new and full of just tiie help ha needs. -] > * Therefore 1 must be excused lo\ re peating some of the suggestions of last year. Cotton. As cotton is one of the chief crops now engaging the thoughts and hands of the farmer, let me again remind the, young planters that this plant re quires abundant sunshine, and im peratively demands that kind of man agement which will not take up the strength of the land for the stalk arm leave not force enough in the soil to bring forth fruit to perfection. The great essentials are to keep the .cotton clean and not to allow * e ', plants to be crowded, lest tliero ' much shade with consequent ". , _ ' * • stalk and decrea le in .jJcure is tho and quality of the b.carrhtheyevir The distance E should be from j'. r than an expen- I the drill.

Cassava is well suited to maj m3M tions of the southern tiers of in Georgia. The result of periments gives strong proof oMjie profit to be derived by the farr*6f southern Georgia from the of this new crop. While the species of this' pint raised in Georgia is useful as feed terj stock and is also a good table vegeta ble, its chief recoinmfehdatian is Its great ability to produce the known grades, as tvell as the greatest abundance of starclp One *. of' south Georgia planted in cassaMtaWl yield 4,000 pounds of starch, - kfar in excess of the quantity pflfftV't’d by the best potato lands of Illinois)! or.

Corn and Forage Crops. Let tho farmer look well to his corn crop and do all in his power to mako himself independent of the west. TJhls is not said to encourage sectional sen timent, but to promote a proper feel ing of independence. In proportion as the farmer raises all that he needs of '■cheat and corn lor his family and hay for his stock, will his other crops, whether cotton, sugar cane or cassava, be profitable investments, increasing ids bank account and giving him tho ability to make his home bright and attractive with rural beauties, that make it a veritable garden of Kden, around which his children's affections & l ever cling. Work your corn early, so that neith er grass nor noxious weeds may mar its growth. Persevere in the good work and with favorable seasons this erop will pay you well. Between the rows of corn plant your peas, and, if you have land enough, devote some of it exclusively to this soil-enriching erop, which is to us what clover f s to our brethren ol the north. in addition to its great power to renew the soil in which it grows, its jii'ny peas are good food for man and beast, and its vines, when properly cuidd and housed, make a hay which can hardly be excelled. liaise all the corn and forage crops possible, that our barns may burst forth with plenty, that our people may he able to live at home, that our beef and dairy! cattle may render us the best possible service, and that our working stock nay be strong to labor in the cause of inan. Doing our best to improve diligently the opportunities which God has given us, we plant ar<L water with the as surance that ...jttff will give such Tn crease as rmfjjptjafr wants demand and His blessing wjtll Jest upon those who, while they tinst Him for results, fail not to be diligent.
