Lion for taking a kindly interest

Long Continued Wet Weather Haa
Delayed Planting— Hopes Entertain
ed for More Propitious Seasons.
Tata has been an unusually back,
ward season for our two staplo crop*.
Tbe Ion*, continued wet weather de
layed planting, and Vn consequence
caused much despondency among gome
of our farmers. But Nature as
general rule brings in a compensa
tion somewhere and somehow. The
backward seasons will psobably be
followed by such conditions that dur-
lng tho next two or three months, by
Intelligent, well directed labor, assist
ed by Improved modern machinery, all
disadvantages may h e 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
tome of the more southern counties
of the northern belt tho cotton 1(
coming up and doing fairly well, a!
though In some places the stands arc
poor owing to continuous rains and
cool weather. In some places tho
early corn has poor stands. 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 chrn both doing
well, others report cotton greatly re
tarded and much of it replanted.
Corn lg generally reported In good
condition, though hi some localities
much damaged by bud and drill
worms. In both Middle and Southern
Georgia good reports aro made con
cerning sugar cane. Looking over
tbe general Held, oats are doing fairly
well, which is for the most part true of
wheat. Both of these crops, how
ever, are In tome sections suffering
from rust.
The price of cotton In New York on
the 12th of May was 11% cents. Tho
Noveiftber and December cotton sold
tt 9 cents a pound, but now that It Is
out of the farmers’ hands, the prlco
has gone up. If farmers should now
have an opportunity to dispose of tho
coming crop for future delivery at
9% cents, It would probably pay them
to sell at that price; for, although tho
season Is backward, thero may yet
be a good crop, and, If a very largo
one, prices may go down.
Tho Middle and South Georgia su
gar cane Is for the most part doing
well.

In North Georgia peaches arc report
ed as scarce; in Middle Georgia from
a slight crop to 50 per cent, while
apptes are stated to be plentiful In
both sections.
Strawberries are of superior slzs
and flavor and our homo markets are
full of them at 10 a quart, while many
truck farms aro sending thousands ol
crates to the north and west.
At they aro exhausted, dewberries,
blackberries and raspberries will come
In. Georgia, already renowned fot
peaches and melons. Is coming to.th*
front among the great berry states.
The fact 1«. all kinds of trucking
do well In Georgia and no one need
fear any danger of over production.
Does Trucking Pay In Oeorgia 7
Those who have gone about this
basinets In *n Intelligent manner say
that It does.
Of course we do not mean to say
that every farmer should glvo all hll
attention to trucking, because some
have grown wealthy by so doing. Geor
gia it admirably adapted to be Just
what she has long been—a great corn
and cotton state, an! Is rapidly be
coming a great grata and hay
State and though In aoms
places truck farming la the best busi
ness that a man can enegage In. we
would not be understood as advising
any neglect of oar two staple crops.
But every farmer who Is in easy dis
tance of a shipping point on one ol
the maay great lines of railways that
traverse our state, would do well ta
devote a tew acres to tne ramng ol
•one one of the table products fot
which there ie such a great demand Is
every part ef the United States.
One who will take the proper pains,
ean easily make from $50 to $500 to
the acre on strawberries and raspber
ries. the latter of which mature
Just as the strawberries are exhausted.
Those luscious fruits always have a
great demand, not only In the large
eltlee of the north and west, but also
In tbe eltlea of our own and neighbor,
lng states. While the father and old
er sons are cultivating tbe 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
moans tbe only paying crop raised by
truck farmers. While one man can
do .best with them, his net-!’’
haps, can make more money on pota
toes or some other garden product,
euch as asparagus, lettuce, cabbage?
or celery. Another finds watermel
ons and canteloupes his most profit
able crop. Bach farmer must study
the nature of his land and decide In
tolltgently as to what crop will best
repay his thought and toll.
Tho United States Department o!
Agriculture In Bulletin No. 21
on "Rates of Charge tor Transporting
Garten Truck, with Notes on the
Growth of tho Industry,” Includes
what It properly styles tbe Justly re
nowned Georgia peaches. There Is
no limit to the growth of the trucking
business, and its profits arc hound ta
Increase from year to year. Although
tho 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 aro con
sumed by the millions of people with
In the radius of a fow miles. Tho
great cities of New York ani Phila
delphia not only furnish markets tor
the truck farms In their vicinity, but
also purchase largely from the market
gardens ot 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 tho soil Is
one ot the most essential conditions
tor success In truck gardening. I.and*
so rich as to require no fertilization
are rarely found. Some crops re
quire a great deal more fertilization
than others. According to Uie 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 enttro coast r( yin try ol
Georgia, Is as follows: Asgaragns.
$25; beets, $16; string beans. $S; cab
bage, $22: cucumbers, $10; kale, $22;
watermelons, $8; peas. $12; Irish pota
toes, $25; sweet potatoes, $15; spin-
nach, $15; tomatoes, $20.
We have the authority of the United
States Department of Agriculture for
the statement that "probably the fill
est trucking country In the \vroti Is
located on the Atlantic coast front
Norllok, 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 liave more or less
land of this type, which will bring It:
largest profit when devoted to truck
gardening.

The value of the entire crop of 1902
is estimated at $»ni,$97,354, making
it the second crop of the United
States in value, with corn first
wheat third-. The value of raw cotton
exports for the same time Is $290,651
819. giving that article the first rank
among American exports. Now here
a fact that our farmers should heed.
The export price for 1902 was about
one cent per pound less than that
1901. This shows tbe Importance
of guarding carefully against over-pro
duction, or, at least tbe necessity
having some other paying crop
come to the rescue. If the price
cotton should, by reason of an
usually large crop, fall below the point
of profit.
It. Is to be hoped that the marvelous
growth of the cotton factories and
cotton seed oil mills of the south wl
by their steadily Increasing demand
for the raw product of our fields pro
vent any possible recurrence In the
future of the ruinoua low prices that
once prevailed.
The quantity of short cotton saved
to the commercial world by the regln-
nlng of cotton seed for oil extraction
is annually Increasing.
The southern farmer can eongratu
late himself that he has 1 ncotton one
of the greatest money crops In the
world: and the Georgia farmer has ad
ditional reason to bo happy In tho fael
that his home Is III one of the fore
most states of the great south—-now
the most progressive and rapidly ad
vaneing section of the greatest nation
of the earth!
STATE DEP T OF AGRICULTURE
Sugar Cane.
Already In a largo area of Southern
Georgia sugar cane Is the most profit
able crop and tho making of Georgia
cane sirup Is In some counties a large
and well paying business.
The areas, which tho naval store!
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 fihow a marvelous Increase
In population and wealth.
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
lng done at the four sections organised
under appropriations b the United
States Department of Agriculture

COTTON PRODUCTION
As Obtained from Sinners* Reports.
One of tbe most reliable sources ot
Information for tbe .United States cen
sus office concerning the production
of cotton is found in tbe reports of the
cotton ginnvrs.
Many will be surprised to learn that
the cotton ginned from the growth ol
1902, exclusive of Haters, amounted
to 11.078.882 running bales, equivalent
to 10. 020.946 bales of 500-pound stand
ard, or counting round bales, $10,588,-
260.
Tbe average crop, exclusive of lint-
era, for the peat four years has been
8,902,277 bole* of 50t> pounds and the
excess over these figures of the crop
of 1902, Is 728.688 bales. The great
falling off In production west of the
Mississippi owing to crop failures In
Texas, was more than offset by the
Increase In other states, both cast and
west of that river. The states show-
lng tbe most notable Increase were
Suit to Break Lease.
Charleston, S. C., May 23.—John
Cart, of Orangeburg, has flloi suit
In the state courts to annul tho lease
of the old South Carolina and Oeorgia
railroad to the Southern railway.
Is alleged that .the Southern acquire:
possession of a competing line, which
Is prohibited by the laws of South
Carolina. Cart demands about $150,
000. or 8100 a day since the lease was
ratified. If a verdict is awarded, one-
half of the amount will go to the stats
treasury.
Flames Wipe Out Town,
Cripple Creek, Colo., May 23.—The
town of Altman, on top of Rtill hill,
was almost totally destroyed by fire
that started early today In the Altman
hotel. The firemen’s hose
