F “GREEN SICKNESS”
The unhealthy complexion
1 of green sickness is changed
I -to the rosy blush of good
health by Scott’s Emulsion.
Green sickness is one of
the forms of blood disease
found ip young women. The
change from girlhood to wo
manhood • often upsets the
nervous ■ system, weakens di
gestion and throws the blood
making organs out of gear.
Scott's Emulsion puts new
r '’'heart into pale girls. It tones
, up the nervous and digestive
□''system, and feeds the blood.
M It natural tonic.
Remember that 30 per cent,
of these cases go on into con
sumption unless prevented.
Scott’s Emulsion prevents

COTTON AND CORN BACKWARD,
Long Continued Wet Weather Haa
Delayed Planting—Hopes Entertain
ed for More Propitious Season*.
This has been an unusually back
ward season for our two staple crops.
, The long, continued wet weather de
layed planting, and in consequence
caused much despondency among some
of our farmers. But Nature as a
general rule brings in a compensa-
I tion somewhere and somehow. The
i backward seasons will probably be
, followed by such conditions that dur-
I ing the next two or three months, by
intelligent, well, directed labor, assist
ed by improved modern machinery, all
disadvantages may be overcome and
Georgia retain her high rank as a corn
and cotton state.
The present conditions are about as
follows:
In the counties of north Georgia cot
ton planting is well advanced, and in
some of them about completed; in
some of the more southern counties
of the northern belt the cotton is
coming up and doing fairly well, al
though in some places the stands are
poor owing to continuous rains and
cool weather. In some places the
early corn has poor stand*, in others
It is doing fairly well.
In Middle Georgia there are in many
places complaints that cotton is being
retarded by rain and cool nights and
want of sunshine, which is true also
of corn to some extent. At the same
time good stands of both are reported
in many places.
Southern Georgia reports in some
counties cotton and corn both doing
well, others report cotton greatly re
tarded and much of it replanted.
Corn is generally reported in good
condition, though in some localities
much damaged by bud and drill
worms. In both Middle and Southern
Georgia good reports are made con
cerning sugar cane. Looking over
the general field, oats are doing fairly
well, which is for the most part true of
wheat. Both of these crops, how
ever, are in some sections suffering
from rust.
The price of cotton in New York on
the 12th of May was 11% cents. The
November and December cot-ton sold
at 9 cents a pound, but now that it is
out of the farmers’ hands, the price
has gone up. If farmers should now
have an. opportunity to dispose of the
coming crop for future delivery at
9% cents, ft would probably pay them
to sell at that price; for, although the
season is backward, there may yet
be a good crop, and, if a very large
one, prices may go dow r n.
The Middle and South Georgia su
gar cane is for the most part doing
well.
Fruits.
In North Georgia peaches are report
ed as scarce; in Middle Georgia from
a slight crop to 50 per cent, while
apples are stated to b% plentiful in
both sections.
Strawberries are of superior size
and flavor and our home markets are
full of them at 10 a quart, while many
truck farms are sending thousands of
crates to the north and west.
As they are exhausted, dewberries,
blackberries and raspberries will come
In. Georgia, already renowned- for
peaches and melons, is coming to the
front among the great berry states.
The fact is, all kinds of trucking
do well in Georgia and no one need
fear any danger of over production.
Does Trucking Pay In Georgia?
Those who have gone about this
business in an intelligent manner eay
that it does.
Os course we do not mean to say
that every farmer should give all his
attention to trucking, because some
have grown wealthy by so doing. Geor
gia Is admirably adapted to be just
what she has long been—a great corn
and cotton state, and is rapidly be
coming a great grass *id hay
State and though in some
places truck farming is the best busi
ness that a man can enegage in, we
would not be understood as advising
any neglect of our two stapla erops.
But every farmer who is in easy dis
tance of a shipping point on one of
the many great lines of railways that
traverse our state, would do well to
devote a few acres to the raising of
acme one of the table products for
which there is such a great demand in
©very p&Tt of the United States.
One who will take the proper pains,
can easily make from SSO to SSOO to
the acre on strawberries and raspber
ries, the latter of which mature
just as the strawberries are exhausted.
These luse’wi* fruits always have a
great deme. I. not only in the large
cities of the north and west, but also
In the cities of our own and neighbor
ing states. While the father and old
er sons are cultivating the cotton,
corn and peas, the mother, the girls
and younger boys can raise berries,
the sale of which will greatly increase
the ready money of the family.
Berries do not constitute by any
means the only paying crop raised by
truck farmers. While one man can
do best with them, his neighbor, per
haps, can make more money on pota
toes or some other garden product,
such as asparagus, lettuce, ’ cabbages
or celery. Another finds watermel
ons and cantqfoupes his most profit
able crop. Each farmer must etudy
the nature of his land and decij* in
telligently as t to what crop win best
fepay his thought and toil.
The United States Departxiwot of
Agriculture in Bulletin No. 21,
on "Rates of Charge for Transporting
Garden Truck, with Notea on tfie
Growth of the Industry,” Includes
I what It properly styles the justly re- ■
nowned Georgia peaches. There is
no limit to the growth of the trucking
business, and its profits are bound to.
increase from year to year. Although
the western end of Long Island is so
occupied by this industry as to have
the appearance of a great truck farm,
yet nearly all its products are con
sumed by the millions of people with
■ in the radius of a few miles. The
great cities of New York and Phila
delphia not only furnish markets for
the truck farms in their vicinity, but
also purchase largely from the market
gardens of the south. In fact, New
York city Is probably, says the bul
letin, the greatest market in the Unit
ed States for the trucking districts of
the south.
A proper fertilization of the soil is
one of the most essential conditions
for success in truck gardening. Lands
so rich as to require -no fertilization
are rarely found. Some crops re
quire a great deal more fertilization
than others. According to the bul
letin from which we have already
quoted, the cost of fertilizer per acre
for leading varieties of vegetables in
the Savannah trucking district, which
embraces the entire coast country of
Georgia, is as follows: Asparagus,
$25; beets, sl6; string beans, $8; cab
bage, $22; cucumbers, $10; kale, $22;
watermelons, $8; peas, sl2; Irish pota
toes, $25; sweet potatoes, sls;’spin
nach, sls; tomatoes, S2O.
We have the authority of the United
States Department of Agriculture for
the statement that “probably the fin
est trucking country in the wrold is
located- on the Atlantic coast from
Norflok, Va., to southern Florida,”
embracing the entire Georgia coast .
The best soil for trucking is one in
which there is more sand than clay,
because this kind of soil retains less
water, warms up more rapidly and
promotes a quick growth of the crop
during winter and spring.
Many of our farms have more or less
land of this type, which will bring its
Largest profit when devoted to truck
gardening.

COTTON PRODUCTION
As Obtained from Ginners’ Reports. |
One of the most reliable sources of
Information for the United States cen
sus office concerning the production
of ootton is found in the reports of the
cotton ginners.
Many will be surprised to learn that
the cotton ginned from the growth of
1902, exclusive of linters, amounted ■
to 11,078,882 running bales, equivalent
to 10, 020,945 bales of 500-pound stand
ard, or counting round bales, $10,588,- ,
250.
| The average crop, exclusive of lint
ers, for the past four years has been
9,902,277 bales of 500 pounds and tie '
excess over these figures of the crop ;
of 1902, is 728,688 bales. The great !
falling off in production west of the 1
Mississippi owing to crop failures in ’
Texas, was more than offset by the :
increase in other states, both east and
west of that river. The states show
ing the most notable increase were
Arkansas, Georgia, Loupisiana and
Mississippi.
The value of the entire crop of 1902
is estimated at $501,897,354, making
it the second crop of the United
States in value, with corn first and
wheat third. The value of raw cotton
exports for the same time is $290,651,-
i 819, giving that article the first rank
among American exports. Now here is
a fact that our farmers should heed.
I The export price for 1902 was about
i one cent per pound less than that of
’ 1901. This shows the importance
of guarding carefully agai-ast over-pro
; duction, or, at least the necessity of
j having some other paying crop to
> come to the rescue, if the price of
cotton should, by reason of an un
usually large crop, fall below the point
of profit.
It is to be hoped that the marvelous
growth of the cotton factories and
i cotton seed oil mills of the south will
!by their steadily increasing demand '
for the raw product of our fields pre- I
vent any possible recurrence in the -
future of the ruinous low prices that |
once prevailed. .
The quantity of short cotton saved
to the commercial world by the regin- !
ning of cotton seed for oil extraction -
I is annually increasing.
1 The southern farmer can congratu- !
late himself that he has i ncott-on one
-of the greatest money crops in the
I world; and the Georgia farmer has ad- (
! ditional reason to be happy in the fact
that his home is in one of the fore- j
1 most states of the great south—now |
the most progressive and rapidly ad
i vancing section of the greatest nation
of the earth!
STATE DEP’T OF AGRICULTURE. 1
Sugar Cane.
Already in a large area of Southern
Georgia sugar cane is the most profit
able crop and the making of Georgia
cane sirup is in some counties a large
and well paying business.
i The areas, which the naval stores
men are rapidly denuding of their for
ests, are splendidly adapted to sugar
cane growing, and, when their advan
tages are thoroughly known, will
doubtless show a marvelous increase
in population and wealth. i
The Department of Agriculture has
always taken a lively interest in the
promotion of this great industry and
is glad to note that good work is be
ing done at the four sections organized
under appropriations b the United
States Department of Agriculture,
these stations being located at Guy
ton, Waycross, Quitman and- Cairo.

i CONDITION OF THE PEACH CROP.
Report* from Various State*.
The reports upon the peach crop
conditions given below have been re
ceived from the deportments of agri
culture of various states and they
show' the conditions that existed about
the middle of April. Press dispatch
es indicate that the more recent freez
ing weather has changed the condi
tions in soma sections and that the
general prospects arc much more dis
couraging than formerly.
These reports may be summarized
as follows:
California. April 22. —Peach crop In
this state in a normal condition, with
promise of an average crop, taking
the peach districts as a whole. The
indications are that all early fruit
will be unsually late i-n ripening and
will reach the market some two or
three week* later than normal.
Delaware, April 18. —From present
Indications less than half a crop will
be produced and extremely unfavor
able weather prevails.
Illinois, April 17.—There will be no
peaches in central and northern Illi
nois this year, and but part of a crop
is expected in the southern portion of
the state.
Massachusetts, April 18.—According
to best information hardly a peach
will be harvested throughout the state.
The sudden and intense cold In the
first week of December following the
almost summer temperature of No
vember not only killed all peach buds
but doubtless damaged the trees as
well.
Missouri, April 16.—The prospects
generally not good and in many sec
tions even the most hardy varieties
are killed. However, in the southern
counties where the bulk of the peach
es are grown, 25 to 50 per cent of
a crop is indicated. Taking the state
as a whole, not more than 10 per cent
of a crop will be produced.
New Jersey, April 16.—General re
ports indicate 25 to 50 per cent of
an average crop, although at that date
It was too early to determine the ex
tent of damage.
, North Carolina, April 15. —No. defi
nite information at hand, but general
reports show something like 50 per
eent of a crop.
Ohio, April 17.—Reports made by
township correspondents on April Ist
showed the peach crop In Ohio to be
j about 77 per cent of an average.
Texas, April 17. —A late freeze dam
aged the fruit materially and only
half a crop Is indicated.
Virginia, April 17.—Reports coming
in at this date were conflicting, but
nothing like a full crop will be pro
duced.
West Virginia, April 18. —Not more
' than 15 per cent of the usual crop is
expected and the indications are that
all other fruits have been greatly
■ damaged by the cold wave.
Georgia—At present the crop In this
state is more promising than was in
dicated by reports received some few
; weeks ago. In the northern part of
, the state the yield will be very light,
, although some individual orchars in
, this section are quite well fruited.
About 25 per cent of a normal crop
j may be expected from the Middle and
| Southern sections. Although the per
. contage of a crop will be small, a
large quantity of fruit will be produc
ed, owing to the enormous number of
trees in bearing.

Mottled Butter.
Question —Hon. 0. B. Stevens, Com.
Agriculture: Dear Sir: I am trou
bled in my dairy business with waht
is known as “Mottled Butter.” Please
give me the cause and remedy for it.
Answer —In reply to your inquiry we
beg to state that the answer to your
question is quite difficult, since the
•pinions of dairymen differ widely on
this subject.
The peculiar spotted appearance
which we find in the uneven coloring
often seen in butter, is called “mot
tles” by dairymen. The chief char
acteristic of mottled butter is that some
portions of the same piece are much
lighter colored than others. This
condition 1* only noticeable when it
I has stood a few hours after being
I worked. The white speck* that are
' often seen in butter caused by small
pieces of dry curd, can hardly be
1 termed “mottled butter.” They can
Ibe prevented by passing the milk
| through a hair sieve strainer. Mot-
I ties occur more frequently in the
j months of May, June and July, and are
oftener found in private dairies than
in the larger one* or in creameries,
because the proprietors of the small
dairies do not generaly have the best
, machinery for handling butter.
The cause of mottles, however, is
1 yet in dispute. Our own opinion is
that uneven distribution of salt is the
; chief cause.
I Care, should always be taken to salt
the butter when first taken from the
churn and none but the very fineet
and cleanest salt should be used. It
should be thoroughly worked into the
butter while yet soft.
While it is true that butter may bs
overworked, some of the best dairy
men suggest that, after it has been
worked, it should be set away in a re
frigerator and then be given a final
working. Some dairymen claim that
the effect produced by two much cold
water and ice in handling milk and
butti r is also a cause of mottles.
Just why salt causes mottles has
•not been satisfactorily explained. But
most dairymen now agree that the
salt drives out the buttermilk
with excess of water in butter, and
the fact that unsalted portion# appear
to have excess of buttermilk would
suggest thi* as a possible good expla
nation.
