THE FRUITSOF GEORGIA
Monthly Letter of Commis
sioner Stevens.
AN INTERESTING REVIEW.
Census Report of Miscellaneous Vege
tables Raised In Georgia—Value of
Horticultural D roducts —Wines of
Georgia Are of Fine Flavor.
Not only the staple crops demand
the fostering care of the Department
of Agriculture, but the rapidly growing
fruit industry deserves also our oc
casional notice. None of the great en
terprises, which command the atten
tion of our people, furnish more grati
fying evidence of growth than do our
orchard trees and fruits of all kinds.
Our apple trees number about twice
as many as in 1890; our peach trees
nearly three times as many; cherry
and plum trees, more than five times
as many; pear trees, more than three
times and apricots twice as many.
Hon. L. G. Powers, Chief Statisti
cian for Agriculture, in his report to
Hon. Wm. R. Merriam, Director of tile
Census, says: “Comparisons of the
yields of orchard fruits, when made by
decennial years, are given little
significance, as the yield of any given
year is largely determined by the
nature of the season”. For instance
during the year for which the census
report was made, 1899, all fruits of
every description in Georgia were cut
short by the unfavorable season, be
ing almost a total failure. But good
fruit years since then have shown that
the yield has kept pace with the in
crease of the number of trees.
According to the census of 1900
which, let it be remembered, was made
up from the reports rendered in 1899,
the total area given to small fruits
was 1,634 acres, distributed among 2,-
804 farms, and the value of the fruits
was $90,785, an average of $32.38 to
the farm. Of this total area 87.1 per
cent, or 1,423 acres were devoted to
strawberries, of which the total pro
duction was 1,385,728 quarts. These
were grown, chiefly in the northwest
ern counties of Georgia. Other berries
show up as follows: blackberries and
dewberries, 143 acres and 144,060
quarts; raspberries and Logan berries
43 acres and 41,750 quarts; all other
berries 25 acres and 26,390 quarts.
The census of 1890 reported the pro
duction' of grapes in Georgia to be 3,-
876,000 pounds, while that or 1900
shows a production of 8,330,500 pounds.
Most of these are sold as table grapes
and bring high prices in the northern
and western markets.
In the vineyards of Georgia wines
of the finest quality are made. The
grapes and wines of Georgia bring in
to our State more than $170,000 an
nually.
Georgia has lost none of her repu
tation for watermelons, and is be
gining to take a high rank also in the
production of cantalopes. The exact
figures for these are, however, not yet
available.
fECAN AND OTHER NUT TREES.
The culture of pecan is begining now
to attract considerable attention. The
census of 1900 reports 30,455 pecan
trees yielding 27,440 pounds of nuts.
There were also 2,681 Persian and
English Walnut trees, yielding 2,970
pounds of nuts and 6,438 unclassified
nut-bearing trees, yielding 3,026 pounds.
The total value of nuts was $3,997.
Here is an opening for anew in
dustry which will, doubtless, some day
add many thousands to the value of
our horticultural products.
VEGETABLES.
By the census report of 1900 the
miscellaneous vegetables raised in
Georgia were valued at $3,009,306; the
sweet potatoes at $2,354,390; the
Irish potatoes at $326,853; onions at
$44,592; dry peas at $953,241; dry
beans at $17,982. The total of all
these items amounts to $6,706,364.
TOTAL VALUE OF ALL AGRICUL
TURAL AND HORTICULTURAL
PRODUCTS.
The total value of all the agricul
tural and horticultural products of
Georgia in 1899 was reported at $86,-
345,343. This department, however,
has later figures than these. The Agri.
cultural year book of 1900, issued <a
1901 by the U. S. Department of Agri
culture, gives us the production arid
value of our crops in 1900. Cotton ia
that year brought in round numbers
$6,000,000 more than in the previous
or census year. At the same time the
following increase in the value of other
crops was shown: of corn $2,293,000;
of wheat, $3,200,000; of oats, $2,000,000;
of orchard fruits, a little over $3,000,-
000.
Thus we have for the value of the
principal farm crops of Georgia, for the
year immediately following the cen
sus year an aggregate of nearly |lO3-
000,000. This bears out by an official
government report the statement
which we made in our Fertilizer Bulle
tin for the season of 1900-1, "that the
agricultural and horticultural pro
ducts of Georgia are worth $100,000,-
00vi.”
Of course unfavorable seasons will
cut these figures down, as was the
case with our orchard products for
1899, reported in the census of 1900.
But in view of the rapid agricultural
advancement of Georgia, we may con
fidently look for a large increase in
value over the best year that we have
yet known, whenever we have favora
ble seasons.
Therefore, farmers of Georgia, be
not discouraged; but with the same
indomitable spirit that you have ever
shown, persevere in the good work of
making Georgia the foremost agricul
t irial State in the Union. Aim high
and, if you do not roach the highest
plane, you can at least stand in the
front rank.
O. B. STEVENS, Commissioner.
RICE CULTURE.
Before the civil war rice was one
of the staple crops of Georgia, ani
was a great source of profit to those
who cultivated it. But changed labor
conditions, lack of necessary capital
and other causes have prevented the
complete reaction of this industry
which, in Georgia, was wrecked by the
war.
Yet with favoraule conditions the
cultivation of rice must be very pro
fitable, because there is an increasing
demand for it and the present annual
production in the United States is
only about Half as great as the annual
consumption.
Rice is chiefly grown on lands that
are low, level and easily irrigated,
yet there are varieties that can be
grown on fertile lands without irriga
tion. Some of these upland varieties
have been successfully cultivated in
the northern counties of Georgia. But
they are not equal in quality to the
lowland rice produced by Irrigation.
Upland rice may be grown on any
soil adapted to wheat or cotton, pro
vided the climate conditions are favor
able.
The best soil for rice is a medium
loma, containing about 60 per cent, of
clay. A large proportion of the rice
grown in Georgia is produced on tidal
deltas. A body of land along some
river and at a distance from the sea
sufficiently great to be free from salt
water is selected with reference to the
possibility of flooding it from the river
at high tide and of draining it at low
tide. In Georgia are also found ex
cellent marshes upon what may he re
latively termed high land. Uusally
these can be easily drained and in
many cases can he irrigated from some
convenient stream. On these tracts,
however, the water supply is unre
liable, being Insufficient in time of
drouth, and too cold in case of fresh
ets. Although resorvolrs to obviate
these objections are expensive, yet un
der favorable conditions these inland
marshes are improved at less expense
than the delta lands and the results
remunerate well the time and labor
expended upon them.
The time for plowing differs with
different lands and circumstances, but
in wet culture the plowing is generally
done in the spring shortly before plant
ing time. In Georgia it is the custom
jvith many to plough or dig over with
a hoe early in the winter.
Some planters advocate shallow
plowing; but, if the soil is well drain
ed deep plowing is considered by many
to be more profitable. If deep plowing
Just before planting brings too much
alkali to the surface, a good remedy is
to plow a little deeper than the pre
vious plowing just after the harvest.
The alkali will then be washed out be
fore the spring. Shortly after the plow
the disk harrow should be used and
then followed by the smoothing har
row, next, In order to secure the heat
results, the harrow should be followed
with a heavy roller, which will crush
the lumps making the soil more com
pact and conserving the moisture for
germinating the grain. Then it will
be unnecessary to flood for sprouting.
Thorough drainage and deep plow
ing have been found to be the only
effective way to dispose of the alkail
that is brought to the surface by irri
gation. A* the water is drained away,
the excess of soluble salts is carried
off.

WHERE TO PLACE A MANURE
RESERVOIR.
Never build a manure cellar under
the stable; for it will affect the air
breathed by the animals, or AM the
cow stables with microbes that will
surely affect the flavor of the milk
and the butter made from it. The
manure should be stored in a shed
outside. It may cost more, but it will
pay every time.

Do not always receive the sympathy and attention which l

Good Blood Is tho s ocrot of ho y old ago , for it regulates
and controls every part of the body, strengthens the nerves, makes the
muscles elastic and supple, the bones strong and the flesh firm; but when
this life fluid is polluted or poisoned and loses its nutritive, health sustain
ing elements, then there is a rapid decline of the vital powers, resulting
in premature old age and disease. Any derangement of the blood quickly
shows itself in an ulcer, sore, wart, tumor or some other troublesome
growth upon the body, and rheumatic and neuralgic pains become almost
constant, accompanied with poor digestion and cold extremities.
