to Georgia Farmers.
COTTON AND CORN BACKWARD.
Long Continued Wet Weather Has
Delayed Planting —Hopes Entertain
ed for More Propitious Seasons.
Tnis has been an unusnaliy back
ward season for our two staple crops.
The long, continued wet weather de
layed planting, and in consequence
i caused much despondency among some
of our farmers. Rut Nature as a
general rule brings in a compensa
tion somewhere and somehow. The
backward seasons will p obably be
followed by such conditions that dur
ing the next two or three months, by
intelligent, well directed labor, assist
ed by improved modern machinery, all
disadvantages may be overcome and
Georgia retain her high rank as a com
and cotton state.
T-he present conditions are about as
follows:
in the counties of north Georgia cot
ton planting Is well advanced, and in
some of them about completed; in
some of the more southern counties
of the northern belt the cotton Is
coming up and doing fairly well, al
though in some places the stands are
poor owing to continuous rains and
cool weather. In some places the
early corn has poor stands. In others
It la doing fairly well.
In Middle Georgia there are In many
placos complaints that cotton is being
retarded by rain and cool nights and
want of sunshine, which Is true also
of corn to some extent. At the same
time good stands of both are reported
in many places.
Southern Georgia reports in some
oounties cotton and corn lroth doing
well, others report cotton greatly re
tarded and much of it replanted.
Corn Is generally reported in good
condition, though' i<n some localities
much damaged by bud and drill
worms. In both Middle and Southern
Georgia good' reports are made con
cerning sugar cane. Lgwking over
the general field, oats are doing fairly
well, which is for the most part true of
wheat. Both of these crops, how
ever, are In some sections suffering
from rust.
The price of cotton in New York on
the 12th of May was 11 >4 cents. The
November and December cot-ton sold
at 9 cents a pound, but now that it is
out of the farmers’ hands, the price
has gone up- If farmer* should now
have an opportunity to dispose of the
coming crop for future delivery at
9*4 cents. It would probably pay them
to aell at that price; for, although the
season is backward, there may yet
be a good crop, and, if a very large
one. prices may go down.
The Middle and South Georgia su
gar cane Is for the most part doing
well.
Fruits.
In North Georgia peaches are report
ed as scarce; in Middle Georgia from
a slight crop to 50 per cent, while
apples are stated to be plentiful to
both sections.
Strawberries are of superior size
and flavor and our homo markets are
full of them at 10 a qnait, while many
truck farms are sending thousands of
crates to the north and west.
As they are exhausted, dewberries,
blackberries ami raspberries will come
In. Georgia, already renowned for
peaches and melons, is coming to the
front among the great berry states.
The fact la. all kinds of trucking
do well In Georgia and no one need
fear any danger of over production.
Does Trucking Pay In Georgia?
Those who have gone about this
business in an Intelligent manner say
that it docs
Of course we do not mean to say
that every farmer should give all his
attention to trucking, because some
have grown wealthy by so doing. Geor
gia Is admirably adapted to be just
what she has long been—a great corn
and cotton state, and la rapidly be
coming a great grass aud hay
Stale and though in some
places truck farming is the best busi
ness that a man can anegage in, we
would not be understood as advising
any neglect of our two staple crops.
But every farmer who is in easy dis
tance of a shipping point on one of
the many great lines of railways that
traverse our state, would do well to
devote a few acres to the raising of
someone of the table products for
which there is such a great demand in
every part of the United States,
One who will take the proper pains,
eau easily make from SSO to SSOO ti
the acre on strawberries und raspber
ries. the latter of which mature
just as the strawberries are exhausted
These luscious fruits always have a
great demand, not only in the large
cities of the north and west, but also
In the cities of our own and neighbor
ing states. While the father and old
er sons are cultivating the cotton,
corn and peas, the mother, the girls
and younger boys can raise berries,
the sale of which will greatly Increase
the ready money of the family.
Berries do not constitute by ant
tnea-ua the only paying crop raised by
truck farmers. While one man cm
do best with them, hi* -
haps, can make more money on pota
toes or some other garden piouuci
such aa asparagus, lettuce, cabbages
or celery. Another finds watermel
ons and canteioupes his most profit
able crop Each farmer must study
the nature of his land and decide In
I telligeutly aa to what crop will best
fepay his thought and toil.

on “Rote* of Charge for Transporting
Garden Truck, with Notes on the
Growth of the Industry," includes
what it properly styles the Justly re
nowned Georgia peaches. There is
no limit to the growth of the trucking
business, and its profits are bound to
| Increase from year to year. Although
■ the western end of lx>ng Island is so
occupied by this industry as to have
the appearance of a great truck farm,
yet nearly all its prod nr. ts are con-
Burned by the millions of people with
in the radius of a few miles. The
great cities of New York and Phila
delphia not only furnish markets for
the truck farms in their vicinity, but
also purchase largely from the market
gardens of the south. In fact, New
York city Is probably, says the bul
letin, the greatest market in the Unit
ed States lor the trucking districts ol
the south.
A proper fertilization of the soil is
one of the most essential conditions
for success in truck gardening. Lands
so rich os to require no fertilization
are rarely found. Some crops re
quire a great deal more fertilization
than others. According to the bul
letin from which we have already
quoted, the cost of fertilizer per acre
for leading varieties of vegetables in
the Savannah trucking district, which
embraces the entire coast country of
Georgia, Is as follows: Asparagus,
$25; beets, sl6; string beans, $8; cab
bage, $22; cucumbers, $10; kale, $22;
watermelons, $8; peas, sl2; irish pota
toes, $25; sweet potatoes, sls; spin
nach, sls; tomatoes, S2O.
We have the authority of the United
States Department of Agriculture for
the statement that “probably the fin
est trucking country In the wrold Is
located' on the Atlf-ntic coast from
Norflok, Va., to southern Florida,’
embracing the entire Georgia coast .
The best soil for trucking is one in
which there is more sand than clay,
because this kind of soil retains less
water, warms up more rapidly and
promotes a quick growth of the crop
during winter and spring.
Many of our farms have more or less
land of this type, which will bring its
largest profit when devoted to truck
gardening.

COTTON PRODUCTION
A Obtained from Ginners’ Reports.
One of the most reliable sources of
information for the United States cen
sus office concerning the production
of cotton is found in the reports of the
cotton gi nners.
Many will be surprised to learn that
the cotton ginned from the growth of
1902, exclusive of linters, amounted
to 11.078,882 running bales, equivalent
to 10, 020,945 bales of 500-pound stand
ard, or counting round bales, $10,588,-
250.
The average crop, exclusive of Ent
ers, for the past four years has beeD
9,902.277 bales of 500 pounds and the
excess over these figures of the crop
of 1902, Is 728,688 bales. The great
falling off In production west of the
Mississippi owing to crop failures in
Texas, was more than offset by the
Increase in other states, both east and
west of that river. The states show
ing the most notable increase were
Arkansas, Georgia, Loupisiana and
Mississippi.
The value of the entire crop of 1902
is estimated at $501,897,354, making
it the second crop of the United
States in value, with corn first and
wheat third. The value of raw cotton
exports for the same time is $290,651,-
819, giving that article the first rank
among American exports. Now here is
a fact that our farmers should heed.
The export price for 1902 was about
one cent per pound less than that of
1901. This shows the importance
of guarding carefully against over-pro
duction, or, at least the necessity of
having some other ipaytog crop to
come to the rescue, if the price of
cotton should, by reason of an un
usually large crop, fall below the point
of profit.
It is to be hoped that the marvelous
growth of the cotton factories and
cotton seed oil mills of the south will
by their steadily increasing demand
for the raw product of our fields pre
vent any possible recurrence in the
future of the ruinous low prices that
once prevailed.
The quantity of short cotton saved
to the commercial world by the regin
ning of cotton seed for oil extraction
is annually increasing.
The southern farmer can congratu
late himself that he has i ncotton one
of the greatest money crops In the
world; and the Georgia farmer has ad
ditional reason to be happy in the fact
that his home Is in one of the fore
most states of the great south —now
the most progressive anti rapidly ad
vancing section of the greatest nation
of the earth!

Sugar Cane.
Already in a large area of Southern
Georgia sugar cane is the most /roflt
able crop and the making of Georgia
cane sirup is in some counties a large
and w'eii paying business.
The areas, which the naval stores
men are rapidly denuding of their for
ests. are splendidly adapted, to sugar
I otne growing, and. when their advan
-1 tages are thoroughly known, will
doubtless show a marvelous increase
In population and wealth.
The Department of Agriculture has
always taken a lively interest in the
promotion of this great industry and
is glad to note that good work is be
ing done at the four sections organized
under appiopriations b the United
States Department at Agriculture,
these stations being located at Guy

Sea Water Bread.
A Philadelphia baker is authority
for the assertion that the latest fad
of dyspeptics is bread made with
sea water instead of fresh water.
“It has a saltier taste,’’ he says,
“than we are accustomed to, but it
is very palatable. In fact, he who
likes salty things is apt to like it
better than the other kind of bread.
A physician asked me about three
mouths ago to make some of this
bread for his patients. At first 1
made six loaves a day, but now I
make thirty. My sea water comes
up to me from Atlantic City three
times a week. The dyspeptics who
buy the bread say it is the only kind
thev can eat fresh without discom
fort.”
