GREEN S SONS 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. GA. DEPT OP AGRICULTURE. 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. ed in our past history. OA. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE. 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.

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.

Edgar Norton of Viola Allen’s company tells the following story: He happened to be in a bar or saloon in London when he over heard two cockneys dressing the 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 bloomin’ well got ?” “Well, there’s Beerbum Tree”— “ 'E ain’t nuffink to speak of!” “ ’Ow do yer like George llalex ander?” “’E ain't much.” “Charley ’Awtrey?” “Sumtimes es orright.” “Well, wot about ’Arry Irving” (convincingly) ? “Well, wot about him?” “ ‘Ow about ’is Macbeth ?” “Rotten.” “ 'ls Looey the Eleventh?” “It ain't grite.” “Ts ’Arolet?” “Oh, passable, passable!” “Well (triumphantly), 'ow about 'is Shy lock ?
