N. C. GEORGIA CROP REPORT Commissioner Stevens Inter esting Talk Resumed. DEPARTMENT HAS BUSY TIME Thousands of Copies of the New Book, “Georgia: Industrial and Historical,” Have Been Distributed—Some Perti nent Questions Answered. Department of Agriculture, Atlanta, April 1, 1902. Several months have passed since a monthly talk lias gone out from this department, but so heavy has been the correspondence, not. only from our own state, but also from every section of the Union, that the commissioner has been compelled to assist the clerical force of the department in answering he floods of letters that have poured lit. TJle ordinary business of the office had also to be attended to. Thousands of copies of the usual annual bulletin have been and are still being distrib uted. Besides these, more than 15,000 district maps of Georgia have been scattered throughout our own and other states, and many thousands of the new book, "Georgia: Historical and Industrial, have been sent into every county of our state, as well as to pub lic libraries and individuals who have written for it from every state in the Union and from foreign countries, one capy having been sent to a gentleman who wrote for it from Natal, South Africa. n The following letter, received a day or two ago, is very similar to many others that the daily mail brings to this office: "My Dear Sir: I beg to acknowl edge tlie receipt of your valuable book, ‘Georgia: Historical and Industrial.’ Wiille I have not read it near as care fully as 1 will, I have read it suffi ciently to pronounce it a gem, and must say it will surely draw a crowd, if it is circulated enough. I wish there were 10,000 copies distributed in the Northwest, so that homeseek ers and investors could see what we have to offer. I have lived in Georgia only five years, having come from western Indiana, but I must say there are more opportunities here than any where else 1 know of for men of small means. Land is cheap and is easily cleared: timber is plentiful to build and fence with, and the soil is ns pro ductive ns that of most of the land in the north. (I am speaking of South Georgia, for that is all l am personally acquainted with.) What is needed most here Is to rotate crops, as they have to do in "the Middle States, except that here we will use peas and velvet beans in place of clover, and the peas are just as good as clover and the beans superior to it. Follow beans with corn; follow corn with oats; fol low with peas tin 1 same season; follow peas with cotton; then beans again, and if that doesn’t break the guano business it will make it look mighty pale. Then intensify, diversify and in tensify. and your bank account, will multiply. You will see, 1 have wan dered from the subject. But I love farming so well and nm in such a good place and have such a nice farm that I can't refrain from giving it a word. "Thanking you for the book and wishing you success, I remain, your humble servant, "A. J. BEVER. "Douglas, Coffee Cos., Ga. “P. S. —I know not what will be my future fate; but I think I’ll live and die in the Empire State. A. J. B.” We feel sure that our readers will pardon us for publishing this letter in full, on account of Its many excellent hints to farmers. A letter from Mr. E. S. Tow e, 81 Ashland boulevard. Chicago, 111., re ceived March 6, says: "I have examin ed the new book, ‘Georgia: Historical and Industrial,' which you kindly sent me, and find it a handsome volume of flue paper and print, voluminous, but without a dull page, embellished with a profusion of pictures and many fine colored plates. "I congratulate you on your success and believe it will help much in pro moting Georgia's welfare. -I am show ing it with pleasure to my friends. “After studying all the land and im migration schemes of the different states from California to New Jersey and British America to the Gulf. I be lieve Georgia is the best, all things considered, and my Intel /s not for sale unless at fancy prices," Another letter was received a few days ago from Louis E. Van Norman, of Springfield. 0., editor of "Home and Flowers.” an illustrated magazine published in the interest of a more beautiful American home. In this let ter Mr. Van Norman says: “As one in particularly close touch with the social conditions of our rural popula tion. an expression of an opinion from you as to the immediate need of the farmer and his family in the matter of moral, intellectual and social better ment would be highly interesting and valuable. We are sending you a copy of the February number of ‘Home and Flowers.’ which contains an outline of the work proposed by the United j States secretary of agriculture. We should be very glad indeed if you j would answer the following questions THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE ,\THURSD AY, APRIL 10, 1902. and return this letter to us: “1. What, in your opinion. Is the im mediate need of the farmer and his family in the matter of moral, intel lectual and social betterment? “2. Should such a work be begun as the secretary suggests, by providing practical training for the future wives of the farmers in the direction of edu cation as to sanitation, cooking and the rational practice of the arts ol home? “May we not hear from you, if onl> in a few words?” In answer, we would say, not only to the writer of this letter, but also to all the farmers of Georgia, the-moral, intellectual and social betterment of our rural population will be insured not only by attendance at the stated times upon the house of God and send ing the children to the daily schools, but also by having in every home a library of choice, attractive books by the best authors, written in a style to catch and hold the attention of the young, and by surrounding the home with everything that helps to make it tri'iv the dearest spot on earth, No *r r ** w- - ; matter nbw limited one’s means may the hublest home may be made pleasant by the practice of neatness, and nature herself supplies With beau tiful flowers and shrubs the materials for adornment of the house and grounds, which, with proper care, will lend such charm to the place that all through life the children therein rear ed will find in their own hearts a re sponse to the words of the poet: "Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home.” Again, not only the future wives of the farmers should be carefully train ed in the art of healthful cooking, but the boys as well as the girls should he thoroughly educated as to sanita tion and the practices of all the vir tues and arts that make a happy home. Mr. C. H. Beazly, in a recent news paper article on “The Farm Versus Other Lines of Business,” says there are fewer failures in farming than in any other known line of business. He thinks, too, that the growth of trusts will, by throwing many out of employ ment, cause lands that are now shun ned by so many to be tilled, and that in spite of the odiousness of the trusts there is in this fact a gleam of good to come. If through the operation of the trusts many shall be induced to return to the farms, then will the cause of agriculture "pluck from the nettle dan ger the flower safety.” In concluding this talk, may I be pardoned for alk ling once more to our new book? I say our, for not only did I work unremittingly to secure the necessary information, Hut Mr. It. F. Wright, my indefatigable assistant, and Professor J. T. Derry, the well known Georgia writer, worked diligent ly and carefully upon its preparation. This volume is being distributed wide ly throughout our state. It lias been our aim to place it In every college library and In the libraries of the lead ing schools of Georgia, in both town and country, so that the great mass of our people may have access to the large fund of information therein con tained. Here let me say that on page 921 the omission of a figure in the second item of the manufactures of the state makes the capital invested in these industries to appear as $8,789,- 656. It should be $89,789,656. The er ror is apparent to one who reads the whole page. Let every one who has a copy of this work cut this correction out and paste it on the blank space on page 920. Those who write for our book need not be discouraged if there occurs q delay of several days. Their time will come. O. B. STEVENS. Commissioner. Agricultural Progress In the South. Secretary Wilson, of the United States department of agriculture, in a survey of agricultural progress in the south in the same publication, urgfes a greater average yield per acre than a greater acreage of cotton, the return, as far as possible, to the soil of the fertilizing Ingredients of cotton seed and greater attention to live stock industries, and he adds: “I be lieve that the south will not much longer be known and thought of pri marily as the ‘lnnd o’ cotton,' but as a great and prosperous region of va ried agricultural industries. With the great industrial progress of the south ern states and the development oi their wonderful mineral and manufac turing resources comes the best of all markets tor the farmer—the great home market. More and more I hope to see the agriculture of the south di versified as this great home market expands. Let the cotton crop continue to increase in total production, but let its growth be rather by a higher average per acre than by a very large extension of the area under this crop. Let southern farmers keep the plant food at home and send the product of the farm to market in the form ot manufactured articles (manufactured on the farm by nature's processes) rather than in the form of raw mate rial. Let them grade up their flocks and herds and keep many more of all kinds of domestic animals. Lot then: renovate the soil by the use of legumes and save all the fertilizing material that the farm itself produces. Then will the agriculture of the south show in the census to be taken in 1910 ad vances greater by far than even the great progress made in the last twen ty years of her history.” The course of the south is onward and upward. Let it be the ambition of every farmer to help on the good cause in Georgia.

Minstrels Coining Under Canvas. The New Orleans Minstrels gave a performance ih the canvass theater at the corner of Fourth and Court streets last night. The tent was packed and many were turned away because there was no more room. The idea of pre senting a minstrel performance under canvas is quite original, and judging from the crowd last night we judge that it is a paying venture. The tent is arranged with stage scenery and curtains the same as an opera house. The performance as a whole was meritorious. The sayings and gags were all very good, as well as the choruses, ballads and other singing. The orchestra was also good. In the olio the male electrical dance, the ’Black Eighth Regiment,” the terp sichorean artist and “Pastimes of the Levee” were amusing, and the rip roaring farce presented as a finale was a highly ludicrous and mirth-provok ing piece of extravagance. —Memphis Commercial-Appeal, April 10, 1901.
