The Galveston News has been gathering statistics regarding the magnitude and value of the hay AtifelCCLTCKAb 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.

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.

Yes, gentlemen, may we prollt by tlie past mid may tlie farmers ol Georgia take tho road to independence. Then tliis grand old state of ours will furnish the shiboleth of tho south. 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.

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. !
