I in ut warn our people against nil-
other tiling. Never sell nil of the used
from the lirst. mid second pickings of
the crop and depend upon the seed from
the third and last picking for plant
ing. This is a very serious mistake,
as very many of the seed from
the last picking are immature and
( light, and if they germinate after
pluming, can only develop Into weak
mid sickly plants, Always reserve
your planting seed from the bottom or

to bo plump, heavy and fully matured,

POTATOES.
This crop Is good all over tho state,
ami U only pur, up with proper earn, is
very oastty kept, 1 don't think wo
fully appreCisitu this valuable food crop,
which can ho ralaod so easily and in
such quantities. Many farmers still
plant too poorer varieties, very dell-
Olent m saccharine matter, and there-
fore neither so palatnblo nor so fatten
ing as tho hotter varieties.
Let us strive to havo tho best in
everything, not in potatoes only.
I almlt if, is easier to rniso a
Cuba, linyti or St. Domingo than
a Georgia yam, but after raising
tho Cuba yam, you,’havo a potato that,
when l lived in southwest Georgia, the
hogs wouldn’t oar, whtlo if you raise a
Georgia yr,m, you have a potato lit for
, a king’s table. Potntooa are good food

crop In right, cotton will bo selling for j u,ual P lft,, F' 1 throughout the stats, and
higher prices In tlio spring than it is
bringing at present.
While 1 believe prices will he higher
later on, I do not advise holding cotton.
Each farmer must lie Ids own judge of
that matter, u# tho conditions surround
ing each are different.
Ido, however, unhesitatingly advise
against gelling cottonseed ' at the
prices now ottered. Every

this era of diversified farming, some of
our farmors might And this a profitable
crop.
UtCE.
Tlio crop Is generally good all over
tho state, with more planted than usual.
I hope noxt year to soo this valuable
grain more generally planted than ovor
before. Jti-i not hard to raise, yields
fairly well, and is healthy and nutri
tious for mail and beast. Tho chief
trouble is to clean tho hull from the
grain before it can bo cooked. The
people bn tlio coast who live largely n
l-ioe, do tills by pounding tho grain a
long time, using a wooden mortar and
postlo. (For cominoroial purposes tho
cleaning is dono in largo steam mills.)
Thorn uro now on tlio market sthall
rice mills, which might bo run like the
cotton gins throughout the country, the
farmer paying so much toll to havo his
rice cleaned. Were theso small mills
established, I am satisfied that the pro
duction or rico would bo greatly in

The fruit crop has all boon gathered

of apples, pears and grape’s,
A few days since I saw a carload of
watermelons in Atlanta shipped from

seemed’ to ho sailing very rapidly. Can
not sotnu of our' watermelon raisers

do ns well as tho first, and command
just as good prices, for tho people seem

Stock is in fair condition. .Reports of
some sickness and a few deaths, among
cattle, in different parts of tho state,
but nothing very serious or that will
not readily yield, to treatment. Hog#

southwest Georgia, havo reported largo
