Tim Atlanta Constitution seem
to consider il is a great outrage
that a sound money speech is to

The politicians who were hang-
ing around Atlanta during the
critical period of (iov.
illness, to exhibit their distress at
t he governor’s illness and to nj>-
ply for the varunt office il he died,
have gone home. It looks ns if
the politicians were getting keen-
or for ofiiee and more brazen in
tlnur demands for it every year.
Th*' attitude of the Democratu -

force, and lmbodv will pav much

t ion, as a Dcniocratie assemblage,
is a farce.
There was a gentleman once
who said that whenever he ami
his w ife disagreed as to any
the matter was compromised—by
his acceptance of his wife's views.
This is a jokelet, and belongs to
the funny column, hut it has iD
application. A faction of tin
Democrat ie party seems in favor
of compromising with the third
party on the currency question by
adopting the third party currency
plank.
The fruit carnival in Macon is
in full blast, The Elherta peach,
the Kolb Gem melon, the wild
goose plum and the June apple
are blushing under the admiring
gaze of the multitude. The ear-
nival is already a great success,
and yet the better varieties , ~
Middle Georgia apples, [leaelu ;
aml melons, which come on a lit-
tie later,are not there. Just wail
till they get then*.
Speaking of the hotter varieties
of Middle Georgia fruit reminds
us that perhaps il will not lie eocii
at the fruit carnival at all. It is
unfortunate, so far as Middle
Georgia is concerned, that the
carnival was not opened two week
later Fruit in Middle Georgia
is late t his year, and up to now
very little Unit is really good has
ripened. Possibly the second or
third week of the carnival may lie
heightened in interest by some of
the luscious fruit of this section
of Georgia.

The Journal's correspondent

which we published a few , 1 ^,.,

as to the condition of labor in the
free silver paradise just south of

“It is accurately estimated

only one-seventh of what the

Stand and cultivation throughout tho
state only fair, the excessive rains met
cool weather during May having work¬
ed some injury to tho plauts. Tiie stand land
is materially injured on tho gray
where it was worked before tho recent
cool weather. Lot us hops, however,
that a few hot days will bring about a
great improvement in this crop. Con-
diiion, compared to an average, 63 1 3.
COEN.
Corn is small for tho soa-on through¬
out tho state, but the stands and condi¬
tion are good. The cool weather during
May has given it a yollow suushino color, hut it
only needs some warm to give
it the proper color and start it to grow¬
ing. If the state should bo blessed with
seasonable rains for the next two
months, Georgia will raise the largest
crop of corn in her history. Condition
compared to an average, 94.

POTATOES.
Potatoes, both Irish and sweot, uro
promising fine yields. Tho formor of
theso crops is already maturing and
furnishing wholesome and palatable
food for our poople. Tho prospective
yield of Irish potatoes is 95 per cent.
Tho acreage in sweet potatoes, com¬
pared to an average, is 03 1 3.
MELONS.
Tho acreage is nearly tho same as
last year. Tho condition is not so
goo 1. as they have been retarded in
their growth bv cool weather, und in
some cases injured by bugs.
1*I< A NUTS.
A largo crop of these nuts have boon
planted, the acreage being above that

TOBACCO.
Tho acre igu is not quite as larffo as

HOGS’ AND CATTT.lt.
Tlmra is some reports of disease
amoiiv tlio stock throughout tho stato!
especially cholera among tho hogs, but
as yet it is not general or very fatal.
KIIUI r.
Tho prospect throughout the stato is
still very good for a fino fruit crop,
with the exception of pears. The blight
hits attacked nearly all the pear or¬
chards in t to lower part of tho stute,
and to some extent in middle Georgia.
Tho elb ets have been very serious, and
unless the disease can be checked tho
pear industry is doomed to destruction.
Some blight on the apple trees also in
the same section, but not so seriou; at
with tho pears. Home ‘'yellows’’ tho on
the peach trees in all section of
state, but not many treo3 affected as
yet.
Que-tion' 4 —I have been using in
my compost about 250 pounds of pea
meal. Does it supply any ammonia?
Could it be supplied by acid, seed or
common salt? If mixed with green seed,
acid or kainit, would it prevent the
seed from coming up ?
Answer 4.—Pea meal supplies all
three of the essential elements of plant
fooil, potash, phosphoric acid and ni¬
trogen or ammonia; but its uso as a
fertilizer is too expensive. Yon can
supply these elements iu much cheaper
form. Acid phosphate doc3 not supply
ammonia, but phosphoric acid. Com-
\ IU0U salt would only have a mechanical
^ iu lunt foo(i .
1 suf¬
By the use of kaiuit, you supply a
ficient quantity of potash. The cotton¬
seed is your source of ammonia and au
additional quantity would increase ths^t t^p
element. If from lack of vigor in
plauts under which you have used your
compost, it is apparent that a very Jargo
amount of ammonia is demanded, iu
order not to reduce the other material
too much you might add dried blood or
tho cottonseed. Acoiupost made of cot-
! tousoed, stable manure, acid phosphate fork¬
and kaiuit, properly cut down and
ed over, would prevent any danger of
germination. In composting care should
bo taken that the ammonia by heating
is not allowed to escape. A series of
experiments conducted at the state sta¬
tion shows thut mixing iu the furrow
gives as good results as composting and
without the expense of handling
danger of loss. most
If I had the pea meal, I would
certainly use it for manure, as it con¬
tains all the principal elements of plant the
