PROGESS IN GROWING CANE
The Farmer Must Diversify His Crops
and He Will Then Se the Happiest
and Most Independent Man of the
Human Race.
Atlanta, Ga., Doc. 15, 1904.
During the last spring and summer
the condition and prospects of the cot¬
ton crop were far from being encour¬
aging; but the bright, sunny days of
a late fall came to the rescue and
Georgia in common with the wholo
Bouth, re joicea in one among the larg¬
est cotton crops on record.
Many reports of surprising yields on
ordinary land have come into this of¬
fice, and there is gratifying evidence
of unproved cultivation. More farm,
era than ever before in the history of
our State are using the best methods
and improved machinery.
Never since war
cial condition of our farmers been in
such good shape. More of them than
at any previous period are in such a
state of independence that they can
sell or hold their cotton, as their inter
ess may demand.
In some sections cotton picking was
delayed by the scarcity of labor. Rut
a new hope has arisen that at no distant
day this difficulty will be surmounted.
The new cotton picker, though far
from perfect., gives assurance that ere
very long, when it shall have passed
Its crude beginning and grown into a
first-class machine, the labor problem
of the cotton planter will be solved.
Of one thing the Southern planter
can be sure. In his cotton, if wisely
managed, he possesses a reliable and
safe money crop. But, as we have
repeatedly urged, let nothing tempt
him to make it his sole reliance.
His wheat, corn, vegetables and hay
anti abundance of every kind of
feod should be raised at home, so
to make him the independent man
that every fanner ought to be.
hi
will not fail to amply reward his well
directed efforts. We note with Meas¬
ure the Inclination of our farmers to
do this very thing, and the fact that
they are accepting the idea of increas¬
ing their cotton production on the
same acreage by rotation, hotter
izatlon ned Improved cultivation
at the same time, raising sufficient
botv.o supplies for man and beast.
C ’ account of long continued dry
wet, ’:er, cow peas will be scarce and
lilf 'i ext season. Be sure, therefore,
to save cn-iugh to put upon your land
at the proper time. No up-to-date
farmer will long run a field in cotton
without applying to it this great ren¬
ovator and panacea for the ills thatraf
llict the soil.
We fear that on account of the dry
fall many farmers have failed to sow
wheat. if so, those woh can possibly
do it, should sow it now so as to get it
up by Christmas. Those living In sec
tions where it is too late to do this
and even those who can sow the wheat
and yet cave land enough would do
well at tne first good season in Feb
ruary to put in oats on good ground
well manured and prepared. They wl 1
then have a good prospect of a fine
supply of ,» spring oat crop.
To those who have not yet turned
their field* we would say do so
month. Lot this be done thoroughly
and well, and as deep as possible, so
that freezes and winter rains may add
fertility to our fields.
Again we are gratified at the fact
that the sugar-cane growers and sirup
manufacturers of Georgia are making
progress toward increasing their indi¬
vidual wealth as well as that of tha
State by improved cultivation, the in¬
troduction of new and better machin¬
ery for sugar and sirup-making and
the wise use of remedies both new and
old for the prevention of fermentation
of cane sirups.
■ Once more we desire to congratulate
the farmers of our great and growing
State on the fact that they are keep
toe pace in the march of progress
all the other great industries that
adding to the wealth and Influence of
Georgia.
O. B. STEVEN®..
Commissioner of Agriculture.

WATCH % WHITE Bu GGY
If you could come out to the factory and watch us make a “White Star Buggy’*,
and see with what discriminating care every item (and there are many of them)
enter into the composition of a completed vehicle, you would readily understand how easy it is for us to
make so many claims of superiority. Besides the salient points, strength, durability, and exclusiveness of
design, we make still another claim that the “White Star Buggy” is the lightest running vehicle made—
