Death of an Old
Citizen of Pike.
Saturday morning at twenty
minutes after eleven o’clock the
immortal soul of T. A. Cochran
took its flight and returned to the
God that gave it. He was seventy
two years, four months and seven
teen days old, being born February
18th, 1829.
Mr. Cochran was born anil-raised,
in Pike county. He had been a
member of the Baptist church
nearly fifty years and all these
years there never was a charge
brought up against him for any
unchristian conduct, and until be!
got unable to go to his church he
never missed a conference, unless
Providentally hindered. For five
years he had been entirely help
less and blind, but bore it all with
patience and Christian fortitude.
His companion preceeded him to
the grave three months ago.
Mr. Cochran was the father of
eleven children, of which seven
have already passed over the river.
Those that are left to mourn his
death are J. P. Cochran, of Ala
bama; R. E.B. Cochran, of Neal;
T. J. Cochran, of Concord, and
Mrs. E. J. Crawford, of Jolly.
“Uncle Jack,” as he was mostly
called, was a kind husband, a lov
ing father and a good neighbor.
After the funeral, which was
preached by his pastor, Rev. R.
F. Smith, of Locust Grove, his re
mains were laid to rest in the old
Hebrew cemetery to await the
second coming of Christ. —Griffin

Worry Is Injurious.
Worry is a cause and a source of
much unhappiness, says an ex
change.. It seams the face with
lines and furrows and has a most
depressing effect upon that hyper
sensitive organ, the stomach,
which at such times becomes a
most unwilling and laggard ser
vant. Indeed, it safe to say that
unless encouraged by a cheerful
temper and hopeful thoughts the
stomach will not do good work.
The physiological explanation of
this is the close alliance of the
great sympathetic nerves, which
are worse than the telegraph for
carrying bad news; the work and
anxiety which depress the brain
cause simultaneously a semi
paralysis of the nerves of the
stomach; gastric juices will not
flow —and presto! there is indi
gestion. One sign of mental
health is serenity of temper and
a self-control that enables us to
bear with equanimity the petty
trials and jars of life, especially
those arising from contact with
scolding, irascible, irritating per
sons. Serenity of mind comes
easy to some and hard to others.
It can be acquired.

WHEAT CULTIVATION
Interesting Paper by Com
missioner Stevens.
VARIETY OF WHEAT TO USE.
Valuable Suggestions and Timely Ad
vice which Every Enterprising
Farmer in Georgia Should
Heed.
The wheat crop for this year, owinjr
to several adverse causes well known
to all the wheat growers of Georgia,
did not come up to the average. But
this partial failure should no more
cause a diminution in the area devoted
to this valuable grain than an un
favorable season for corn or cotton
should cause a falling off in the acre
age of those crops.
The same reasons which led to the
great revival of wheat growing in
Georgia in 1899 and 1900 still prevail.
Dne of the chief arguments in favor
of wheat growing, so persistently
urged at the time, was that the negro
farmer by reason of his manner of
life can make a living for his family
at far less expense than is required
by the white man, and hence can
afford to sell his cotton at a lower
price.
Therefore the competition between
the white and black planter would
prove disastrous to the former unless
he could be self-supporting and have
cotton for his surplus money crop.
A farmer’s life should be one of
financial independence; but, unless be
can live in the main at home on the
fruits of his own industry/and supply
the market with those products that
are ever in demand, he is in danger of
becoming a hewer of wood and drawer
of water to his more enterprising
neghbors. If he raises enough to live
upon, he can hold his cotton for good
prices.
An attractive looking home, a well
filled storehouse and ready cash for
himself and family are necessary, if
he would bind t'he affections of his
wife and children to their country
home. Diversity of crops is an abso
lute necessity for successful farming,
and no crop that can be raised adds
more to the comfort of a home than
wheat, which in its flour gives that
bread which by most people is pre
ferred to every other kind, and in its
bran supplies one of the most whole
some feeds for stock.
No good farmer in North or Middle
Georgia should fail to set apart a por
tion of his land for wheat. What if
there is an occasional short crop?
Can he raise anything that is not lia
ble to the same misfortune?
Those states of our Union and those
countries of the world are the richest,
whose farmers raise abundance of
wheat and oats, and grass for pas
turage and for hay. Raise abundance
of these things for man and beast and
add to them plenty of corn. Then you
can have the best of poultry, hogs,
sheep, beef and dairy cattle and all
your cotton will be a money crop, with
which to purchase the comforts that
should be found in every home, and
to provide a support for declining
years.
The Variety of Wheat to Use.
Knowing well the many conditions
affecting the yield of wheat, we would
again advise that you select a varie.y
most capable of withstanding the many
drawbacks attendant upon the cultiva
tion of this grain. A kind having a
strong, stiff stem and possessing the
greatest power of withstanding ex
treme cold weather is the best. AH
other things being equal, that which
has a thin skin or bran is to be pre
ferred.
Soil For Wheat.
A soil, whose predominating charac
teristics are loam and clay, and that
having also an abundant supply of ni
trogenous matter with sufficient phos
phoric acid, potash and lime, is best
adapted to the growing of wheat. If
these elements are lacking, use plenty
of barnyard manure, if available, and
concentrate it. Ten tons to the acre
will not be too much. Also apply
plenty of wood ashes, for these con
tain phosphoric acid, potash, lime and
soluble silicia, all essential elements
for the growth of the wheat plant. For
most laud some high grade commercial
manure is the best The soil must be
dry. under-drained, if necessary, for
wheat cannot be made on land which
has an excess of water. An excellent
soil for wheat is a gray, loamy top
soil, with an under soil of stiff red
clay.
Proper Depth to Cover Wheat.
We have from time to time given to
the readers of these talks the results
of experiments made to determine the
proper depth to cover wheat. The re
sult of these experiments caused us in
one of our letters to advise that it is bet
ter to harrow the wheat and fertilizers
in, from one to three inches deep, ac
cording to the character of the soil,
remembering that a thinner covering
is required in close, heavy land than
in that which is light or sandy. A
better plan, when practicable, is to
use the wheat drill after having first
thoroughly plowed, fertilized, har
rowed, raked, pulverized and rolled
the land. This process leaves the land
In excellent condition for the propa
gation and growth of the wheat plan-,
and gives, moreover, a smooth surface,
so important for the future harvest.
Mr. W. J. Bridges, one of our most
successful Georgia farmers, in telling
how he raised 65 bushels of wheat to'
the acre, said that he put it In withs
drill, using about 400 pounds of a
special high grade potash fertilizer at
the same time, in planting the wheat
he put in 105 pounds, or one bushel
and three pecks to the acre. The blue
stem variety is considered by many
the best. It Is claimed by those who
have tried it that the soaking of the
wheat in bluestone will prevent smut,
a disease more to be dreaded than
rust. The bluestone should be dis
solved In boiling water and about a
gallon of this water should be used for
every two bushels of wheat, about one
pound of the bluestone being required
for each gallon.
Best Time to Plant Wheat.
The experience of our best farmers
is, that the wheat should be put in as
late in the season as will allow it to
throw out a system of roots and
leaves large enough to cover the entire
surface of ground before the coming'
of the cold blizzards. Our best Georgia
farmers plant from October Ist to No
vember Ist, according to latitude, soil
and climatic conditions. Some of our
most successful Middle Georgia farm
ers think that wheat should never be
sown until after the first big frost in
November, as it will then withstand
more successfully the ravages of the
Hessian fly or small grub. Of course,
the farmers of North Georgia plant
earlier.
How to Preserve and Restore the Fer
tility of the Soil.
After the wheat has been harvested,
it is an excellent plan to plant the
entire acreage in cow-pzas; for there
is no crop, as far as we know, that
will produce such permanent good ef
fect upon the soil. By this method
the land is put in good condition for
the next crop of wheat.
Much of our land in Georgia has
been run down by unwise cultivation
in the past. These exhausted lands
need nitrogen and available phosphoric
acid and potash, and, especially, lime.
To restore these elements to our wast
ed lands, sow cow-peas after grain and
turn them under in the fall after hav
ing first broadcasted barnyard manure,
aahes and lime. The repetition of
this process from yea rto year will
steadily increase the fertility of the
soil and the wealth of the farmer.
Best Fertilizers For Wheat.
Some soils are naturally so rich that
no fertilization is required; but these
are the exception, and even the most
of these will, after a few years, require
some sort of fertilizers in the form of
plant food. These should be in a
form for Immediate use. Barnyard
manure, if pulverized very fine and
then applied, is very valuable.
The planting of clover on wheat
lands in some sections, but of cow
peas in most parts of Georgia, and
plowing these under several weeks be
fore sowing the wheat, as has been
said, will prepare the land well for
this crop. In England, and in our
western states, the droppings of the
sheep and cattle have added much to
the productiveness of wheat lands.
But the majority of our farmers are
not stock raisers, and need a fertilizer
that is immediately available. There
fore artificial fertilizers, or commer
mercial manures, must be used, for
the reason that farm manures cannot
always be had in sufficient quantity
and are rarely applied in a mechanical
condition to be readily assimilated by
the wheat plant. But the commercial
manures have been scientifically pre
pared with special reference to the.
needs of different kinds of soils and
crops, and, though they involve some
outlay of money, the Increase of the
crop will well repay the expenditure.
Experiments have frequently proved
that a judicious application of $lO
worth of the proper fertilizers will
often bring a return of from S2O to S3O
worth of grain.
In the management of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, it has ever been
my aim to subserve the best interests
of the farmers of Georgia. After ma
ture reflection I still advise: Do not
diminish your wheat acreage. Perse
vere and cultivate your wheat lands
after the most approved method. Turn
not back; but go forward in this good
work, feeling assured that the final
outcome will be increased prosperity
for yourselves and for all the interests
of our beloved Georgia.
O. B. STEVENS,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
CROP CONDITIONS.
At this time the general condition
of crops Is far from encouraging.
The drought which has prevailed up
to the 2d of July, accompanied by high
temperatures and parching winds, has
caused a material deterioration of
most crops, especially cotton and up
land corn. Notwithstanding showers
of rains have fallen in many sections
of the state since the first of the
month, it is still true that a drought
which is becoming very-serious, now
prevails over the greater portion of
Georgia. In some sections upland com
is almost past redemption, while cot
ton in some sections is doing fairly
well, the reverse is true in most of the
counties. The friut Is below normal
conditions, and the watermelon crop
is far below an average, both in quanti
ty and quality.

The census reports also show thtt
tobacco is getting to be a crop of some
importance in Georgia.
The increase in acreage in the dec
ade from 1889 to 1899 was ISB per cent,
and in production 319 per cent. The
average yield per acre shows an in
crease suggestive of improved meth
ods of cultivation, being 479.9 pounds
per acre in 1899 as compared with 329.7
pounds in 1879. The tobacco crop of
1899 was 1,105,600 pounds, valued at
$159,659. This was grown by 3,525
farmers, and obtained from 2,304 acres.

The following is one of the
prettiest sermons ever written in
so few words: “I saw a dancing
bubble upon the silver surface of
a river. For a moment it spark
led with a golden light as it caught
the sunshine’s glory, and I thought
how beautiful it was. Then it was
carried down. For a moment the
river told me where it had vanish
ed, and then swept on through a
ripple on its placid bosom. And
I thought how like our lives was
the bubble on the river. For a
moment we struggled in our tiny
spheres; hope, and toil and strug
gle, love and dream ; and then go
down beneath the earth forever.
In a short time the tiny ripples we
have caused die out, and the great
river of humanity flows on undis
turbed. So let us strive with our
brief existence to reflect only
sunshine mirrored in the clouds
above us.”
