prospect of our great staple crop, cotton,
while other crops havo also suffered
from the cold weather prevailing tho
latter part of the month,
COTTON.
Throughout north Georg’ a the dam¬
age to the cotton crop is very great.
This damug is of such a character that
it cannot at :h:; time bo fully estimated.

age 1 c felt, but th ; dobilit itol condition

Great injury to the fruit crop gener¬

apparent. Tho dropping of immature
apples, many of which wore supposed to
have been set, his greatly reduced the
prospects of a yield of this fruit, and
only a very small crop may be expected.

DEPARTMENT OK AOKICULTURK,
Atlanta, July 1, 1891.
A GENERAL REVIEW OK CROPS AND CON¬
DITIONS.
Up v to the middle of June the belated
crops over the entire . state, already , re
tarded by the unprecedented cold, wore
suffering and drying up for want of
rain and the parching winds, which
prevailed over a large areu, but added
to the gloominess of the situation. Had
this condition been confined to one sec¬
tion there would have been less reason
for apprehension, but the cry of distress
from all quarters gave rise to the most
anxious forebodings. Tho refreshing
rains, unaccompanied by the destructive
storms so widel y 1 pradictod and expoct
ed, commence: about tho middle of
June, and though at first very partial,
we hope they are not too late to save a
large part of the corn crop in the south¬
ern part of the state, and certainly In
time to rescue that crop iu tho middle
and northern sections. Cotton, with its
almost marvelous powers of recupera¬
tion, may recover from the varied disas¬
ters to which it has been subjected, and,
with propitious seasons, a fair crop may
yet bo realized.
Tho small grain crons are much in¬
jured. Fall oats, which were at ono
time most promising, huvo been practically seriously
cut off. The spring crop is
a failure, and the yield from wheat is
much reduced. In somo exceptional thorough.
cases the lands preparation was very

drouth, paratively little offoot of the could long
nnd the yield is all that be
expected. 1 have in mind a field of
corn which, through a drouth of several
weeks' duration, has scarcely shown a
twisted blade, and has maintained a
healthy growth and color which, in
comparison with adjacent fields, seemed
most remarkable. On inquiry I find
that the preparation of this land was
exceptionally thorough, an 1 during tho i

below tho surface, roots un¬

tions.
Where commercial fertilizers were
used the long drouth has been peculiar
ly injurious,for without sufficient moist
ore, this prepared plant foo l is urmva.l
able, and in many ens. s the corn had
paaseil the critical period of develop
ment, before the rains came to unlock
the stores, of which it stood *o much in
need. In caaca where the fertilizer was
used with composts of different kinds,
the beneficial effect of the moisture ah
eorbiug humus can be plainly seen, and
Indeed If we desire to secure the full
benefit of any commercial fertilizer, the
aafest plan is to u*e in conjunction with
composts. By this plan a small made amount do
of the fertilizer can bo to
double duty un-1 with far more certain
ty than if applied alone.
It would make a wonderful difference
on tho credit side of our yearly accounts
if not one pound of fertilizer was up
plied except by composting To prepare
for this, it is necessary to begin now.
July marks a pause in the agricultural
rush of the past several weeks, and be

Where desirable, and the seasons aTe
suitable, it is well to prepare this crop
during the present month, the land
being put in tine tilth and highly
manured. Phosphates are required
more especially, with a smaller propor¬
tion of nitrogen aaul potash. The early
sowing can begin during the latter part
of the month, and as soon as the plants
are up, dust with dry ashes to prevent

Bo much lew boon said nnd written as
to tho value of the pea crop, not only ns

of aiich vital importance that 1 few must ad¬ be
pardoned facta, for presenting a urging

farmers to put in as largo a crop as pos¬
sible. A peck or a half Irish >1 to the
acre, sown broadcast in the corn ami
covered by the last plowing, will, with
ordinary seasons, give a lair stand, and
if planted before the middle of the
Uionth, will usually mature seed. For

the fact that the potat-s-s can be left In
the ground all the winter and -lug as
needed, end the southern grown fall
crop furnishes even better tubers for
spring planting than the eastern grown
s-« |, which have so long monopolized
the market. My attention was attracted
to this fact last year, aud I determined
to try the experiment. The *ee l pota
toes were selected at the time of g itn
ering our spring grown crop in .Inly,
those of the smaller medium size being
;hosen. These were ullowod to dry in
the shade, and were then bedded *-X

spring potatoes, the bod was

there there was was an an utmost almost perfect perfect stand. stand. Not- Not
withstanding the very sever** winter,
we had fresh potatoes from tins bed
t]r , til time to plant ugain iu March,
When the bed was plowed up for the
spring planting, the medium potatoes
were again selected, hut instead of dry
‘-“j were planted immediately along¬
side the eastern grown varieties. The

THE GROVEIOWN RALLY.
The So-called “ Democra¬
cy” Hit a Lasting Blow.
It is hardly needful to describe to
on- readers the Grovetowu meeting.
as like all othsr Populists gatherings,
it was immense. Fully 2,<>00 persons
being present.
Had the railroads given reduced rates
a still larger crowd have been on hand
as it was ihe greater would conic Ill VI*
hides of all kinds, from a radius of
twenty miles and over.
IVhat does the magnitude of all those
lMoim gatherings mean? Goes’m it
show plainly that the people are >,vak
iug up to lock at the situation in the
light it should bo viewed.
Judge J. K. Hines was expected to
ha\o been present but was detained at
home on account of sickness.
lion, Ttios. K. Watson spoke to tho
crowd nearly two hours. Showing
plainly thut the two old parties were
not in accord with the true principles
of Jeffersonian democracy, and another
party was neceisary to save the COUU
try from industrial ruin.
Uo idily discussed the railroad plank
with argument that wouldconvim •i: any
fair-minded man that it was fur the
good of the country, and for the nic
vention of labor slrtkes, a sample of
which we are now experiencing.
Enthusiasm was at the highest pitch
ami hourly cheers frequently Interrupt¬
ed the speaker. *
A number of “democrats” k wore pre¬
sent and expressed themselves favor¬
ably in regard to the speech. In our
opinion, it won’t belong before th-y
will come in for the embrace of “--tcr
ual populism.”
