Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, June 20, 1899.
Since our last letter many changes
- have taken place on the farm, and much
; good work has boen done m most all
. sections of the sta e. The harvesting of
wheat and oats began s >me weeks since
in South Georgia with a fairly good
■ yield of wheat, but the ofit roj w
. short, owing to the & t that the
; weather conditi -ns for both fall and
‘ spring were unpropitions for seed-
• ing, and many sections have suffered for
the want of rain in May. From our crop
: reports it will be seen that the acreage
in corn has been very materially in
creased this year, amounting to 24
•per cent over last year. Wheat shows
an increase of In per cent. It would
have been much higher had the weather
conditions for seeding last fall boen fa
vorable. We are encouraged to believe
that in the future Georgia will raise her
own corn and wheat and have this grain
> ground into meal and flour by mills
within the borders of our own state.
) Why not? Can we afford longer not
) to do so?
( Now, when you have harvested your
small gram crop, we would urge the
i farmers to utilize every available acre
of land by planting it in cowpeas. The
‘ cowpea is the salvation of our wornout
) and wasted lands, it is the salvation of
our uplands, our lowlands, our rich
1 lands and our poor lands—we believe,
. too, that it will be the solution of the
fertilizer question. Plantone-half your
land in peas and in five years you can
curtail your expense for guano one half,
>
and your crops will yield as much as
they do under the present system.
5 After trying this plan for ten years
we believe that you would find it
- necessary to buy very little of the
high priced ammoniated guanos, if
any at all. In some way we must de-
•* crease the purchase of ,■ c a't, rtii-
I iZ’i-3. and this, in our judgment, can ba
. done by planting large pea crops and
; making your own guano at home. This
’ cannot be done at once, but could be
t accomplished in a few years. Won’t
. you begin now—this season—and plant
, your lands in peas? We can only hint
1 at these matters, and cannot take space
to elaborate them. Won’t you make
this a memorable year for a large pea
crop, and thereby not only improve
• your lands, but obtain a splendid forage
crop besides?
REDUCTION OF COTTON ACREAGE.
We are glad to announce a reduc
tion of the cotton acreage, not only in
Georgia, but throughout the entire cot-
I ton belt. There has also been a
I reduction in the amount of com
i mercial fertilizers used. While the
i reduction of cotton acreage has not
been as large as we might have
| wished, still we have made a good
| showing For the season of 1897 and
18!t8 G v>rgia used up to June 1, 1898,
about -1. .000 tons of commercial fertil
izers. lor the season of 1898 and 1899
Georgia used up to June 1, 1899, about
835,000 tuns, or 21 per cent less than
i last season. Last season Georgia spent
| the enormous sum, in round numbers,
i of $8,500,000 for commercial fertilizers.
! For this season Georgia spent about
$6,750,000 for commercial fertilizers.
1 Thus about $1,750,000 have been saved
i to the farmers of this state. We must
’ not forger that a considerable amount
oi the fertilizers for this season
was used in the increased acreage
of wheat, and other crops than cot
ton, for by reference to our crop re
ports it will be seen that the wheat and
- corn acreage has been vefy materially
increased. Hence we can safely esti
mate that the amount of commercial
fertilizers has been reduced 25 per cent
s as applied to th<
1 note with pleasure that other states
- have also reduced their cotton acreage.
-• In our judgment, the reduction of the
’ cotton acreage in some of the
’ states is greater than is shown by
r the reports of the United States
i Agricultural Department and those
i. issued by Latham, Alexander & Co.
We have beau in direct communi
cation with the Departments of Agri
-5 culture for the various cotton producing
states, and from the information re
ceived from such sources we are ted to
believe that the cotton acreage for the
• entire cotton belt has been reduced at
3 least 15 per cent this season. We are
- 1 mindful that other sources place this
e reduction at only 10 per cent, but we
believe that time will prove that we are
- right iu this estimate.

THE VALUE OF PEAS.
Interesting Artlci.-on I his Crop With
Practical Suggest ions For Plant
ing ami Cultivation.
Much has been written in succes
eive years concerning the preservation
' and upbuilding of the farming lands of
| the south Ne'osarily tins question
is one of great importance, as we
have for years been growing cotton to
the exclusion of other useful crops—
paying so much attention to what is
called “the moneyed crop of the s uth’’
and giving hardly any attention to the
wear and tear of our lands. Os necessity
the cultivation of a cotton crop is one of
clean culture, which lets the summer’s
sun and winter’s ruins bleach our lands
of the elements of plant food that is
necessary to the preservation of the
laud thus cultivated.
The best informed and the most
.scientific farmers understand that to
preserve their lands they must fur
nish such quantities of plant
as will replace that which lias
been taken from them by the crops
grown during the year. It has been
a favorite method to try to repair
; the drain upon the laud by furnishing to
the crops an artificial plant food com
monly known as “Commercial Fertil
izers." We are willing to admit that
the use of these “Commercial Fertil
izers" b-neflts the growing crops, but as
above stated, the clean culture -ets the
Summer's sun and winter’ rains bleach
out the remainder, so that we are
obliged to depend upon artificial means
to give our crops the supply of plant
food necessary for succeeding crops.
Each year requires more and more fer
tilizer per acre in order to supply the
demand made by nature.
The question arises how can we hope
to keep our lands in a high state of cul
tivation; how can we give in return
more than we have taken away?
Year by year our land degenerates,
and as a consequence we become poorer.
What should we do to remedy this evil
and fill our barns?
The only answer is, save what you al
ready have and lay by something for
posterity. This can be done on the
farm to far lietter advantage than in
most any other profession.
This question must be looked squarely
in the face, as any other business
profession.
My advice to the farmers at this sea
son of the year is to plant peas, not
only for feeding purposes, but as a ren
ovator of their lands.
Plant enough peas in your coru for
seed for another year and sow the rest
of your corn, oat and wheat lands
broadcast for manuring purposes.
Our cotwmon peas are mostly an air
plant. They absorb the nitrogen from
the air and deposit the same in their
roots, so that they furnish ammonia for
another season. The vines or woody
matter furnish potash and loam,
as well as prevent the washing
of the soil already made. Years of ex
perience shows that this plant not only
renovates the land, but is an excellent
forage crop
Now as to the cultivation of this val
uable crop I would suggest, for the pur
pose of raising seed for another season,
that peas be planted in the middle of
the rows when you lay by your coru
at the third plowing. When the peas are
about 6 inches high take a short scooter
or ripper with an 18 inch sweep and run
on either side, thus giving the peas one
plowing, which will be sufficient, as the
corn will shade the ground so as to pre
vent the grass from growing too freely.
Or if you desire not to molest yonr
corn, th n when you cut off your grain
plant your peas in 3 foot rows and cul
tivate as you do corn or cotton. Two
plowings will make them. Gather
them and let your vines rot on the
ground, thus building up your laud and
gathering enough to plant another year
and for feeding purposes.
For manuring purposes sow broadcast
in the corn when you lay by, also over
the small grain lands, thoroughly break
ing same. Sow from Specks to 1 bushel
per acre. Allow the peas to get thor
oughly ripe and turn same under during
the late fall.
If you desire to cut them for hay it
should be done when the pea-pods be
gin to ripen.
I will write an arti ie later i ncern
ing curing pea hay, as this article is in
tended only to urge the farmers to see
the necessity of bringing up their lands
and at the same time filling their
barns. If we will only use the means
we have at hand and work with energy
and patience we can truly make this
the garden spot of the world.
I advise the use of the following peas:
' The Unknown, the Clay, Red Ripper
and Whippoorwill.
Again let me urge every farmer to
plant largely, and if he cau procure the
seed sow every foot of available land
in this (nature's) subsoiler.—State Ag
ricultural Department.

FIVE REMARKABLE TREES.
Which i;»nl- Among the < riositiea of
Plant Llfi-.
- , The whistling tree, or Acacia fistula,
i •is found in Nubia and the Sudan,
f | The Arabs call it s ffar. er piper, be
t i cause of the whistling sound that it pro
9 duces, and the specific name of fistula,
a word also meaning pipe or flute, has
1 been given it for the same reason.
Inserts infest the tree and deposit
* their eggs in its B h. : A gall-like ex
j crescence about an inch and a half in
> I diameter is produced at the base of the
. shoots, and when the larvae have
t emerged from < iivular holes in the sides
, of the shoots the holt s, played upon by
the wind, protlnce a whistling sound
! equal to that pr<«iuce<] iy a sweet toned
* flute
The cow tree is .- > called because
iit yields an at.uni .nt si pply of milk. To
: obtain the milk deep it. isions are made
> in the tree, from which the fluid flows
j into vessels placed ready to receive it i
This vegetable milk is white, somewhat j
viscid and has an ,- able flavor, and !
1 an analysis of it -Ir.i.s that it is very
’ much like the n.ilkel a ,w in its com
i position. The cow tree grows on the ■
* slope of the mountain chain bordering I
i on Venezuela,
The cloth tree is found at Otaheite, in ,
tho south sea. The bark is taken off iu ■
long strips and put to soak overnight
in running water. The soaking softens
it, so that the inner fiber may bo easily
1 separated from the rest of the bark.
■ The filers are put together in lengthsof
i about 11 or 12 yards, and tho lengths
, are placed side by side until they are at
; least 12 inches in width, and two or
three layers of fibers are put one upon
another.
The fibers adhere together in one
piece, and tho material thus formed is
’ beaten upon a smooth piece of wood until i
it becomes as thin as muslin. It is then :
■ bleached in the air for a time, when it i
is ready to l.v made up into clothing.
The stinging tree of Queensland is
pleasing to tho eye, but dangerous to the
touch. Its effects are curious. It causes
' great pain to the person or animal that
has the misfortune to get stung by it,
I but it leaves no wound, no mark of any
kind, and for months afterward tho part
stung is painful in rainy weather or
when in any way it gets wet. Frequent
ly it is necessary to shoot horses and
dogs that have been stung by tho tree,
so maddening is its effect upon them.
The angry tree grows in Nevada, east
ern California and Arizona. When
■ in tho least disturbed, this highly sensi
tive tree shows its anger by ruffling up
its leaves and emitting a disagreeable
odor.—D. V. F. in Philadelphia Times.
A Movable Code.
“ ‘Other time, other manner,’ ” re
marked the man in the big leather ann
. chair, “ought to be amended to read
‘Other countries, other manners.’ Not
I long ago I went back to the small coun
| try town of my boyhood to make a short
j visit, and while there the whole town
was set agog by the appearance of a
highly interesting foreigner—a Hun
garian of noble birth. No, he wasn't a
barber in disguise. He was a genuine
titled Hungarian. One of the clever,
pretty girls in Smalltown had gone
abroad to study music and had there
met and made a serious impression on
this Hungarian gentleman, who had
crossed the water to make her a visit.
He held a military position in his own
country, and tho tails of his military
coat, lined with a brilliant red, near
ly prostrated the entire community.
‘ * One Sunday morning he accompanied
tho young lady to church, and of
course Smalltown was out in full force
to get a good look at him. Certainly his
church deportment differed widely from
I anything over witnessed in this coun
| try. He was seated in the pew with the
young woman when her father camo
down the aisle. As tho father entered
the pew the tall Hungarian arose,
placed his hand across his breast and
bent double in a ceremonious bow, then
seated himself, tho red coattails being
much in evidence during the salute.
When tho girl's mother entered a few
minutes later, the same formal recep
! tion bow was made to her. As a rule,
Americans do not rise and make sweep-
■ ing bows in church; but, as is evident.
• such is the Hungarian fashion, and
Smalltown was naturally much inter
ested and agitated over this unusual dis
play of foreign manner. ” —Detroit Free
Press.
The Moslem’s Rosary.
The rosary consists of 90 beads, and
a distinct ejaculation is appropriated to
each as it passes between the fingers.
Each ejaculation generally consists of
two words, and declares a name or at
tribute of God. Almost all Moslems in
the upper and middle ranks of life carry
in their pockets or bosoms a string of
beads for tins purpose, which they use
; not only on the occasion I am describ
. ing, but while sitting and smoking
their pipes, walking in the streets or
even while engaged in conversation.
When a .Moslem has gone over his
’ beads at the regular time of prayer, he
folds his hands, and then, holding them
up open, as if to receive something from
above, ho prays for such blessings as he
desires for himself or his household.
i When this is concluded, he strokes his
. beard with his right hand and says,
“Praise tie to God!’’ This concludes
the whole.—Mind.
