Meeting of the Georgia State Society
at Augusta.
AtutsTA, Fcbusry J5tli—The
State agricultural society of Geor
gia convened in this city yester
day, over two hundred delegates
being in attendance. The meeting
was called to order by Hon. Thomas
Hardeman, the genial and cultured
president. Alter prayer by Rev.
W. W. Landnrm, Major \V. T.
Gray, in the city of Augusta, wel
comed the convention, performing
his task witli signal success. W.
H. Fleming welcomed them in be
half of the Richmond county ag
ricultural club in u speccli brist
ling with good points.
lion. W. L. Deck, n Rockdale
county farmer, responded in behalf
of llie society in a sound, pratieal
speccli, in which lie said:
crop of the country, and it is some
what surprising to note that while
cotton planters think that cotton is
tlic.lcading agricultural product of
tho Union, it renllv stands fourth 1 “re Imre for our
on the list. The ISurenii of Anri-; W,! nte "" "' insi.
ei.lti.rc, at Wnsh.naton,... its re-1 UIll#t hllt , vc tlle rt . gu |i r or .
port ol the crops of 1880, shows j ganized, grand council of Georgia,
the following: The corn crop of Neither are we, us it was onoc said,
that year is estimated at AG71»,7I4,-1 our «»» “kHich but we arc
499; wheat, *474.201,851;hay $371, ' L!
811,094, and cotton *a70,2fi«,242.
The value of thu hay crop of New
York alone is put at $811,91! 1,928;
that of Pennsylvania nt $41,728,-
704; and that of Vermont, whose
entire agricultural product reach
cd only $18,022,847, amounted to
$12,294,112, or a little over two-
thirds of her agricultural values of
tlie year. Missouri’s liny crop
yielded her $10,005,395.
The AVm's comments on the fact
that ill tile South this valuable
crop is almost wholly neglected as
a money crop, mid hardly less neg
lected ns n crop to lie saved for
home consumption. This is so, it
well says, not that tho grass does
not grow in this suction as luxuri
antly and profitably ns in any oth
er ipinrtcrof the globe, but because
so many Southern planters are
cranks on the subject of cotton,
and bend all their energies and la
bor to produce a big crop ol cot
ton at proportionately very low
prices.
As to till! general neglect of liny
ill the South, tlie St. Louis Ilejiulb
lican pertinently remarks llmt“thc
yield ill Vermont was only 1.118
tons per acre, worth $10.4(1 per
ton, while in every Southern Stale
tlie yield wns greater anil tlie pro
duct wortli more per ton. Tlie
highest yield of hay per aero in
tho United States was in Texas,
and tlie yield in every Southern
State was above the average, anil
the value of the crop per nere much
above tlie value of tho same crop
in tlie North and West. The great
est value per nere of the imy crop
in any State was Georgia, wiiere it
wns worth $30. In Missouri it
was wortli $12.94 per acre, while
wheat was wortli $11.93 and corn
only $10.22. Of course there is a
limit for tlie demand for hay, but
it is plain that it is not renolied in
tlie South or Wesl. It is, there-
foro, a little curious tlint a crop so
pleasant to hand lo and so profita
ble is not given a more prominent
place in the catalogue of agricul
tural products." '
wore luueli superior to eorn as a
muscle producer. One untl one-
half bushels of oats, or 48 pounds,
was ctpial to one bushel of shelled
corn, or 50 pounds. Under simi
lar circumstances, an acre of land
will produce nt least twice as many
bushels of oats as corn. The aver
age was placed at three to one, but
lie would make it ns favorable as
possible for corn. It will also pro
duce 715 pounds of good available
straw more than corn will fodder.
The cost of producing an acre of!
eacli is in favor of oats. The gene- j
nil conclusion is, that it costs one-
half less to feed stock on oats than !
it docs on corn. There should be j
a certain time for planting oats ns |
well as corn. Owing to the intro-1
duction of rust proof oats thu pro
duction of oats has liccn increased
four-fold in Georgia during the
last ten years.’ He believed in
sowing outs in the fall, say just as
unit uni | long before the 1st of •laiiuury as
i i. We i eorn is planted after the 1st of
Jniitiurv.
Hr. Jones, of Rurkc, said it was
a fact that stock could not lie fell
indefinitely on eorn and fodder
without absolutely starving to
death. He hud never yet seen any
oat that was thoroughly rust proof.
Mr. Fleming,of Raker, said it as
tonished him to hear a man of Dr.
Jones’s experience say that stock
died of too much corn and fodder.

We linvc not cotne here to lioast of

without porn and mules. Neither
do we wisli lo picture a future
when we will produce a million of

bread to do it. Rut we are here to
point you to n day when Georgia
will produce enough supplies for
her entire population, and cotton
only as a money crop. Here hinges
our destiny* and while you have
licen so kind to iis ns to invite us
to your city and county and to
break bread witli you, we lire sorry
to say Hint wc have no lamb or kid
to bring you, nothing but a few
bales of cotton, and they with the
bottom knocked out, to pay tlie
interest on wlint we owe. Rut,
gentlemen, we are hero to find a
Moses who will load us out of this
lund of debt, out of this land ol
mud, and no straw, out of tliis land
of mortgages, out of this land of
liens, nut of tliis land ol bonds,
out of this laud of deeds, into a
land where we can read our titles

farmers ol Georgia take tho road
to independence. Then tliis grand
old state of ours will furnish the

President Hardeman delivered
Ills annual address, replete witli
words oi wisdom ur.d brilliant with
gems of bcuutiftil thought, as usual.
It wns a forcible presentation of
the present condition and duty of
’.lie farmer.
Tlie president presented tiio con
vention with thu proposition of tho
■Southern World, offering premi
ums to lioys under sixteen years of
age for certain crops.
Colonel J. II. Faniilii, ol La-
Grange, delivered a vciy instruc
tive address on “Improved Imple
ments and Useful Machinery at tlie
International Cotton Kxpo'sition.”
Colonel Fminin is a close observer uan
mid a vigorous thinker.

Cotton imposition at Atlanta.
believcil tlint oats would be the
salvation of tliis country if wc ob
tained improved machinery to liar-
vest them with.
Mr. I’owell, of Pike, said lie rose
to ask how tlie dcstrution of wheat
and oats in middle Georgia could
be prevented.
Mr. Gammon, of Floyd, address
ed tlie convention in favor of oats
as against corn. Ho related some
very interesting experiments in oat
culture.
At night there wns mi experi
ence meeting of which Vice-Presi
dent M. C. Fulton was the chair
man. There was a free interchange
of opinion on the importance of
small grain crops.
Colonel R. 1). Winn, of Gwin
nett, advised the planters to plant
more corn and raise their own
meat.
Mr. Livingston, of Newton, said
that in corn raised in Illinois there
was 34 per cent of fat-producing
substance nnd 17 ol muscle-pro
ducing power. Tlie reverse was
true of eorn raised in Georgia.
This proved that Uod did not in
tend Ueoiigia mules to lie led on
western corn. Tlie way lo do was
to plant one-half iu wheat and oats
mid the oilier hull in cotton. A
gentleman in South Carolina, wiio
owed a debt on his land, determin
ed to stop planting cotton nnd
plant outs, lie dill so, and in two
years paid tlie whole debt and sup
ported bis family in tlie meantime.

Wc don’t believe tliatonc-half of

tain that tlie next Democratic can

nnd skillfully conducted opposi
tion; so if we arc to elect a Demo
cratic Congressman from this dis
trict wc must put lorwnrd a candi
date that will get tlie hearty and
cordial support of his |(arty. We
think that General Cook will re
ceive such support mid that lie is
alioiil tlie only nmti on cither side
of the river that will.
For these and many other good
substantial reasons, we think it
clear that lie should be our slum!
The planters Imvcrto pay $275 for a
machine that they ought to get for
$50 or $00 if there was no protec
tive turiir. Can’t the Georgia ag-
ricultural sc '.'lety ask the general
government to remove some of
these oppressive burdens ?
General Philips, of Cobb county,
said the largest portion of planters
iu Georgia to-day were one-horse
(armors. How were the improved
agricultural implements to be plac
ed within the reach of these. Will
