Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Jan. 1, 1895.
With the close of 18S4 and the be
ginning e of 1895 the farmer finds him
self confronted by ^ conditions .... which . • .
have been gradually approaching for
years, but which he has until tho pres
ent time failed to fully perceive or ap
predate, and now that the hard reality,
with all its depressing influences has
come, we find him almost overwhelmed
. by the difficulties ti . surrounding ,. him. An „
overstocked cotton market, starvation
prices, financial depression, general
ot the situation. n - raoh r But, the notwithstanding m f p f t3
this discouraging outlook, conditions
are not hopeless. It is not yet too late

hopeful sign is the fact that farmers as
a rule are more fully alive to these past
mistakes and are more anxiously seek
tor „ the ,, remedies ,. than ., any
ing proper
time since the high price of cotton al
Inred ns into false methods.
Another fact which tempers the pres
cut . hard reality ,.. . that, ., . except . in . rare
is
cases, farmers have bread and meat for
anotlier year, and the price of those
necessaries, which they have to buy, is
also correspondingly low. T L,ec of- ns us,
therefore, take courage and work out
our agricultural emancipation. Forti
fled with home supplies, and with the
light of experience . to . warn us away _ _
from past quicksands and pitfalls, there
is no reason why we should again fall
into them, or why J wo should not free
ourselves once and for all time from an
agricultural policy which has brought
ns to the verge of ruin. It is not by
any very sudden or radical reforms that
hope . to . do . this Over „ , large
we a very
area cotton must remain tne chief
money crop, to abandon its culture
would be the height of foilv. But we
must adapt ourselves to changed condi
tions. We must no longer allow cotton
to occupy the pivotal point around
which all the other operations of the
farm revolve. Let home supplies take
that place and aotton will naturally fall
into line at the nead of perhaps half a
dozen other sources from which one
may reasonably expect to realize a good

Elsewhere in this report is published
by request the set of resolutions intro
duced by the committee on agriculture
Hud passed by a unanimous vote ot the
present house of representatives of the
Georgia th* legislature. It is an appeal not
farmery but to barf™.
men of all plasses, and has met with al
most, universal endorsement. These
resolutions also furnish a practical guide
for farm operations for the coming
year, and emphasize with peculiar force
the advice so oftou given through this
department; to plant largely of a 11 foo' 1
crops in field and garden; trading to keep om
money at home by among onr
selves, the merchants and townspeople
encouraging the raising of home sup
plies by buying from us, rather than
sending outside the state for such
things as they need, and which we
have for sale; the manufacture not only
of our cotton, but of our wagons, bag
gies, farm implements, shoes and fur
niture, for all of which we have the
raw materia], with water powers and
climate unrivaled. In other words, to

as well as on the farm. As to tho

COMMERCIAL FERTIIJZERS,
wo repeat what we have said in the
Southern Cultivator:
“I have recently been much inter
ested in an investigation, which I have
been carefully conducting, in order to
find out the average yield per acre of
various staple crops raised iu Geor
gj 8( and also to ascertain whether in
the use of commercial fertilizers we
iSttE!ZS–Z2%3i*ssi demands of the
f or tbo immediate
crops, leaving the future to take care of
itself. This question is one of deep in
terest, involving as it does the very
foundation of our agricultural pros
p er ity. and the continent
“In England agriculture on adopted not
the system of

bnt keeps 8teadily iu view th >
improvement of the land and the in
crease in the yield. That this is reason
able agriculture is evidenced by more
than one fact and sustained by the
unifced oxperienoe of her whole farming
population. Foremost among the reas
ons iu its favor is the fact that a largo
yield entails scarcely more labor than
a smail yield. In our section where
laQds are go cbea p and where labor is
the pr i uc ipal item of expense, this is a
most important consideration.
“In the investigation just referred to,
I have had access to the best compila
tion of statistic8 obtainable, and I re
^ r3 t to say that these statistics show no
material improvement in the general
averages throughout the state. 1 his is
not as it should be. Georgia lands are
