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 News.

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. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure Digest* what you oat. 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. STATE AGRICULTURAL DEP T. July 8, 1902., Atlanta, Ga. TOBACCO. 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. Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Don’t Know it. How To Find Otit.

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.
