GEORGIA CROP REPORT
Issued by State Agrisultural
Department.
COMPARISON OF CONDITIONS.
Some Counties Report Crops Unusual
ly Fine, but the Great Majority Say
They Are Considerably Below the
Average.
The crop report from the Georgia de
partment of agriculture represents the
crop as it stood in the field Aug. 20,
1902. It is made up from nearly a
thousand blanks sent out into differ
ent sections of each county to parties
who are considered capable of giving
the desired information concerning the
conditions and prospects of the crops
in their neighborhood. Most of these
were returned with the desired infer-'
mation.
The conditions t a year have been
peculiar. fiver large areas of the
. state hot, dry winds have prevailed,
affecting very materially the condition
and prospects of all crops. Some
times there is marked difference in
the reports coming in from different
localities in the same county, in some
of which a long-continued drought is
reported, while in others the seasons
and conditions are said to be good.
The general complaint is drought and
rust. A few of the counties report
crops unusually fine, but the great
majroity state them to be considerably
below the average. In a few Instances
complaint is made <rf too much rain
in August. The general outlook dis
closes conditions and prospects less
favorable than at this time last year.
In th* Three Sections.
The condition of the various crap*
compared to an average for the vari
ous sections is as follows:
Northern Section—Cotton, 02 per
cent; corn, 62 per cent; upland rioe,
81 per cent; sweet potatoes, 64 per
cent; tobacco, 52 per cent; cow peas,
67 per cent; ground peas, 63 per ceat;
forage crops, such as shredded corn,
hay, etc:., 68 per cent; number of hoga,
76 per cent; conditions of live stock,
83 per cent; sugar cane, 70 per cent.
Middle Section —Cotton, 71 per cent;
corn, 65 per cent; upland rioe, 78 per
cent; sweet i>otatoes, 69 per cent; to
bacco, 50 per cent; cow peas, 71 per
cent; ground peas, 79 per cent; for
age crops, such as shredded corn, hay,
etc., 68 per cent; nunvber of hogs, 82
per cent; condition of live stock, 90
per cent; sugar cane, 75 per cent.
Southern Section —Cotton, 81 per
cent; corn, 77 per cent; rice 88 per
cent; sweet potatoes, 80 per cent; to
bacco, 81 per cent; cow peas, 89 per
cent; ground peas. 91 per cent; for
age crops, such as shredded corn, hay,
etc., 83 per cent; number of hogs, 87
per cent; condition of live stock, 90
per cent; sugar cane, 79 per cent.
Averages for the State.
The total averages of all these crops
for the whole slate is as follows:
Cotton, 70 per cent; corn, 68 per
cent; rice, 82 per cent; sweet potatoes,
71 per cent; tobacco, 61 per cent; cow
peas. 76 per cent; ground peas, 79
per cent; forage crops, such as shred
ded corn, hay, etc., 71 per cent; num
ber of hogs, 81 per cent; condition of
live stock, 88 per cent; sugar cane. 76
per cent.
The total average of these same
crops for the same date last year was
as follows: Cotton. 75 per cent;
corn, 77 per cent; rice, 86 per cent;
sweet potatoes, 91 per cent: tobacco,
87 per cent; cow peas. 88 per cent;
ground peas. 90 per cent; forage
crops, such as shredded coni, hay,
etc., 88 per cent; number of hogs, 91
per cent; condition of live stock, 90
per cent: sugar cane, 86 i>er cent.
THE BEST SUBSTITUTE FOR
SHORT CORN AND HAY.
In view of the very short crop of
corn raised in Georgia, and the partial
failure of the hay crop, we advise the
farmers to plant more than tho usual
crop of wheat, so as to have the aver
age amount for grinding into flour
and a large surplus to be used for
feed for live stock. This extra
amount of wheat should be cut in the
dough state. Then it will serve for
both corn and hay.

COMMISSINERS OF AGRICULTURE
HOLD MEETING.
Recently the Cotton States Asso
ciation of the Commissioners of Ag
riculture held their fourth annual con
vention in Nashville, Tenn. Many
able papers were read on this occa
sion, and the commissioners also esti
mated that the aggregate of the en
tire cotton crop for adl the southern
states for the season of 190-1902
would approximate 9,713,349 hales.
This association, which has been of
great service to the farmers of the
south, was organized at the instance
and through tho influence of the Geor
gia Department of Agriculture, and
their first meeting was hold in Atlanta
I in the summer of 1599.
THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18,1902.
LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY. I
The Jersey cow is known all over
Georgia for her many excellent quali
ties as a milker and butter producer.
Another excellent milking breed is the
Holstein, noted especially for the abil
ity to give large quanities of milk,
though not so rich as that furnished by
the Jersey.
From the Southern Planter, publish
ed in Richmond, Va., we ha\A seen an
account of a fine herd of Holsteins
owned by Mr. T. O. Sandy of Burk
ville, Nottoway County, Va. Mr.
Sandy’s herd has made a wonderful
record as milkers and cream pro
ducers. The cream is shipped to
Richmond every day, while the separat
ed milk is fed to the calves and hogs.
Mr. Sandy has also a fine herd of
Berkshire hogs, a flock of Dorset sheep
and breeds of Hackney horses.
The most interesting part of this
story is the effect produced upon hia
farm which, when he took it in hand,
was a poor southside farm, so poor
that he could with difficulty raise
enough to guppiy a few cattle. Now
it produces the heaviest crops of corn
and grain, forage crops for the silo and
hay for the barn. There is now never
any lack of abudant feed for the large
number of mouths to be fed.
The manure from the stock is care
fully saved and applied to the land, be
ing supplemented with slag phosphate
when and wherever needed. This to
gether with a rotation of crops calcu
lated to keep the supply of humus con
stantly on the increase in the land is
the secret of Mr. Sandy’s success.
The keeping of live stock and pro
per building up of the soil will make
many a poor farm in Georgia as fertile
as the farm of Mr. oandy, and make its
owner rich besides.
Some prefer raising beef-cattle, and
there is probably as much money in
them as In dairy stock. They certain
ly will do their part just as well to
ward enriching the soil and making it
bear abundantly.
Every farmer cannot do all the
thing* recommended by this Depart
ment, but all can do some of them
and a few can do all. Let each man
do his best with the means at his dis
posal and the wealth of our entire
State and of Us individual citizens
will increase In a measure unparrallel.

WHEN TO SELL AT A PROFIT.
We find the folowlng good advice
In the "Massachusetts Ploughman” of
July 26th, 1902: "It is one thing to
know how to fatten cattle or swine at
the lowest possible cost, and another
thing is to know how and when to sell
them at a profit. We know but one
sure rule for the selling part, though
we could give nearly a dozen for the
fattening. Sell them when they are
well fitted lor slaughter; a day or a
week later means extra feed and small
gain; a day or a week less means a
lower price than might be obtained if
they were in prime condition. Some
have had experience enough to tell
this by the look and feed of the animal.
Others need the help of the scale to
tell them when the gain in weight is
enough to pay for the food given. The
scale is more likely to be accurate
than the shrewdest guesses. Do not
make the mistake of feeding to long
after they have reached the prime
point.
GA. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE.
GEORGIA BEEF CATTLE.
With many people there is great
objection to western beef on acount of
the taste that clings to most of it
from the materials that have been
used In the cold storage plants, to
keep it in good condition for the mar
ket.
When Georgia beeves have been
well fattened and properly cared for,
their flesh is much preferred by many
people. Hitherto the supply has never
been sufficient to meet the demand.
In view of the high price of western
meat, a fine opening is presented for
enterprising Georgia framers. If they
will set aside part of their land for
the pasturage of beef cattle and breed
from the beet beef strains, we shall
soon have fine packing houses at home
and with an abundant supply of home
raised beef, prices will come down to
the level of the poor man’s purse.

Wanted Help.
We want to build a school house
at Piedmont. We are now teach
ing sixty pupils in an old barn
like concern made of the ruins
left by the cyclone of a few years
ago. We are in the natural center
of a territory containing a hun
dred students who are.deprived of
attending during the most of the
year on account of inadequate ac
commodations. Our community
is poor, composed principally of
tenants.
Believing that the future of our
section depends on this work, we
appeal to those who have landed
interests here, to those in sur
rounding towns who are benefitted
by our patronage, to those to
whom offices of county or state
are intrusted and are interested in
their welfare, to all lovers of chil
dren, education and noble endeav

A Terrible Habit.
A Prominent Physician who Acquired
the Drug Habit Tells How He
Was Cured.
Dr. H. L. Sulivan, a prominent physi
cian of Ruth, N. C. was cured of the
Morphine Habit by the Britisli Medical
Institute after he had made many
attempts with other cures and failed.
Dr. Sullivan in a letter to the Insti
tute writes as follows; “It is now over
a year since you cured me of the Mor
phine Habit and since that time T have
never taken a dose nor had the slightest
desire for the drug.
For five years 1 had been using Mor
phine in large quanites and had made
more than a dozen attempts to be cured
and had always failed. Your treatment
is without a doubt the best and easiest
treatment ever discovered and I am sat
isfied that you can cure the worst cases
with ease.”
Dr. Sulivan has given permission to
use his name and will verify the above
statement.
The British Doctors also treat all
forms of chronic diseases, including
male and female weakness, catarrh and
catarrhal deafness, varicocele rupture,
cancer, goitre,* all blood and skin
diseases and all diseases of the rectum
with new and up to date methods.

merits of popular English actors.
Said one: “No, we ain't got no
Teally good hactors now.”
“Git bout,” said the other.
“That's stright! ’Oo ’ave we
