He spoke ot tbeevidences of negro 'blight seen all over tlie south, or in other words, the destiuctive and ignorant imthod of farming in vogue among the negroes when lift to themselves. Jinny of the southern farmers, be iEaiJ, )i'il ignored tue fact that the stock of plant food id the soil wan pot inexhaustible. Tue f *riner had oulv a life interest in the laiul and bo had" no right to leuvo it m a bad con dition; he had no right to destroy the soil upon which luturo genera tions must live. Ho comb tuned the hillside ditches sis they were most destructive in washing off the surface soil. He advocut and the terracing of hill .sides, vuich would make thb water falling on them run iIV in a solid ■sheet. Another valuable way to protect and recupn ate land wus to plant peas upon ii. The vim b shaded it and drew vuluaLle plant food into the •soil. Peas made a shade so dense that it would even kill Bermuda glass in two years’ tiim. It was the best pi u to let the p< a vines remain upon the lnnd until pre pared ior the next crop. It was a Uiibtako to turn the peas under when green, va he Lad tried it and laud so iicntui pi com ed smaller yields tbuu fluid whtie no peas had beiU. AN EXPERIMENT WITH PEA*. Director 15. J. Redding, of the Experiment hluthn, presented a pa per on silos and nsiluge, but befoie doing so he spoke on ihe subject of improving laud with peas, giving the j bults of some expenments made at tlo Station. The object of the experiment was l. hud uui what disposition of a , pof co.v pea vines would give the 4>e i economic lesults.

SujA.. Wiuuib. tie- a yiilJ of 50 to GO bushels of otL per acre had just been harvested. wuh sown broadcast in speckled peas, und fertilized with 200 pounds oi acid phosphate per am. When tbe vines had reached the proper stage for hay, or for turning under, tbe section was divided into sixteen equal plots. On every Ist, s ill, 9th and 13th plot tbe peas wi re permitted to ripen ou the vines aud were gathered and weighed. Ou the 2d, Gtb, 10th and 14th plot?, the vines were mown down and left on Ihe surface. Ou the 3d, Tlh, lltb, and 15th plots tbe viues were turned under green; and ou the 4tb, Bth, 12th aud 16tb plots the vines were made into hay—the 6ame day the vines on the preceding series were turned uuder—and the hay Carefully cured and wi ighed. A plain statement of the result, showed that it is dr cider ly the most profitable t convert the pea vines lutihayjaud that the next most profitable disposition of the crop is to gather the ripe peas. TLe conclusions were that the best disposition of u crop of fitli peas is to convert the viues into hay. The next best is to permit the peas to ripen aud gather them (or pasture then..) Mowing the vines aud peimitting them to lie on the surface aud pi >w mg under in November, was decid edly better than turning the viues uuder in August. Turning the viues ua lor green gave the poorest economic results. MONEY F It FARMER.®. Dr. Geirge F. Payne, the state chemist, read u most interesting pa per, one of the brightest practical piesenteJ at the se&siou. The object of the paper was to call attention to some tLings that might be taised with pri tit iu Georgia. Amoug other things, it said: “Our sunny south is a 1 ind of flow ers which well may vie with La Bello France. But although the consump tion of perfumes is enormous iu the United plates, we do not recall a single essential oil produced iu Geor gia except oil of turpentine, the cheapest of them all. The flower farms of Franc; ami Tuikey supply us with the oils of rose, lavender, ge ranium, heliotrope, j tsinine, tuberoes verbena, violet, etc , and the prices secured per acie for these crops are enormous. The magnolia and the bay flourishes here in a wild state, yet the pure oil of magnolia is sn rare it is not foun 1 in the markets of the world, it is not only the hot test climate which produces the finest essential oils. Tue farmeis of Mich igan, Ohio and New ¥Ol k raise large quantities of pej permint, and dbtll the oil from it. In Maryla .and and Virginia sassafras root is distilled largi ly for its essential oil. Oil < f wintergreen is distilled in New Jer sey and oil of spearmint is rtislilled extensively iu several states. The noc-volat la oil , linseed and castor oil, are pressed in large quantities fr m seed raised in the western states. It would appear from these facts that there are possib lilies of profit from several 'i!s in Uevrgia. Just which will prove best adapted to our climate and tbe most profitable, ODly actual trial will show. Our climate is warmer and more equitable than that of the eastern or western por tions of the Uu.t-d States, and can produce many oils requiting a muie moderate il mate. •Of two places producing a certain oil-bearing plant, ibe warmer of tLe two usually fur nishes the largest yield per acre. PROFIT IN CATTLE RAISING In the lower portions of the state and upon the sea islmds cattle thrive in a wonderful way. Upon oDe of tbese island an acquaintance rais<da pbndid herd of cattle all sleek and fat, and sold them at an excellent profit. He neither housed nor fed them through the winter, but they managed to keep in good order on the winter growth. The cattle ma ture quicker in such a climate than they uo further north. The beef was as fine as that from any western stock. Our wire grass catila are ott -n thin and tough, but even in the win-grass sections there are pos sibilities with judicioub feeding of cheap cotton seed meal and hulls, und our more nutritions grasses. With our mild climate cattle should fiod this their ideal country. We bive some cattle in Georgia but the butter aud cream brought to us from other states is hardly a compliment to our thrift aud energy. We should supply the north and west with but ter t least iu the winter, instead of their supplying us. New Yoik state regularly ships cream into Georgia. It is Bent by express packed in ice cream refrigerators. We produce so little cream we are obliged to change too high a price for it, and let uoi th em creameries pay for expressage aud ice and yet secure the trade. SHEEP IN PITE OFD.GL An acquaintance in southwest Georgia tells me that his sheep are bis most profitable investment iu spite of the dogs, for which he puts out poison and gets from fifteen to twenty at a time. He lets his sheep run uncared for and only wounds them up to brand and shear. If the business exists in such a way, certainly the employment of a shepherd would amke it still more profitable if con ducted on a large enough scaK Su- I gar is now made successfully from | sorghum cane. The sugar beet has | not been fully tried and the proper ; varieties selected for this climate. It should thrive here, as it prospers well iu France. THE D G FENNEL. Insect powder is made from a plant which belongs to the same family as our dog fennel, and w’ould very probably do well with us. We could hardly expect dog fennel to do belter than it does iu Georgia. Insect powder now triDgs tweuty tive cents a pouud, which would be a nice price if we should find it as thrifty in Georgia as the dog fennel. In this day of fortunes made in chewing gum, the world should be given a taste of our sweetgum. No one has ever collected it for the mar ket. We have tried to get parties to collect it for ourselves, but they said that everybody liked it so well that when they banked the trees it was collected by others too rapidly for them to keep up with the crop. Ginseng grows wild in Georgia and brings about $2.50 a pound. It was once worth its weight in gold in Chiua. It is cultivated there. If it can be cultivated in China it would seem possible to do so in our stale where it grows wild. BE Alt OBASB FIBRE. We have a splendid fibre in our common bear glass. We kuow of no one attempting to cultivate it. Tbe sisal plant ol Florida is now being cultivated after long neglect. The Cubans come to tbe Florida coast m their schooners and pur chase all the sisal plants they can se cure and carry them to Cuba where they are transplanted, and their fibre sold as binding twine to our farmers of the west. Florida has awakeneu 10 the linpoitiuce of this matter and is uu\v cultivating the sisal plant ex tensively. In Michigan 1 irge berry farms where berries are cultivated and dried before putting on tin market. The Kalamazoo Celery of that state is known far and wide an 1 supplies neaily the while consumpt on of the union of this crisp vegetable. Berry farms are Certainly a uong the porsibilities here. The blackbe-ry crop usually spreads its bountiful feast btfo'e us m almost inexhausti ble abundance. Dried. Llackberries would find a realy market. We cannot get enough people “here to consume them all for years to come, but we can dry the crop and spud il out to the consumers. THE GEORGIA CELERY, Delicious celery can be raised in Georgia. It is now cultivated within a few miles of A'lanta and the pro duct of thf place brings eveu a bel ter price than that from Ksla u zoo. A-parngus brings an exet lleut price in the large cities. Anacquaintance of ours started an asparagus be 1 of five acres three years ago iu thi-i slate. He has put annually upon each acre twpnty-five tons of stable ma nure and half of cotton seed, this amounting to sevemy-five t >us of ma nure and one and a half tons of cot ton seed put upon each acre. There was half a ton of common salt put upon each aerp,as asparagus is a ma rine plant- The fertilizers put upon each acre cost $250 before any re turn was secured. This s< ttion 3.000 pounds of asparagus >-*as soli from the five acres for $3,000; a return ot SOOO per acre. In spite of the drouth which cut off his strawberry crop one half, next season he expects to secure $2,000 wertn frona each acre, or a tolal of ten thousand dollars. We have made these suggestions iu the hope tuat they will set some btight minds to work, who will sift the profitable from the unprofitable, and develop many of the latent pos sibilities of our wonderful stute. With a large expanse of territory ex tending frona the ball peaks of tbe Blue liidge to the warm waters of the Atlautic where Floiida and Geor gia join hands, we are rich in possi bilities und must awake from cur conservatism and advauee with the times. TO MEET ONCE A YEAR. The resolution of Captain Lyon,, introduced last year to change the constitution so as to hold the meet ings of the conventiin once a year instead of twice, was taken up. After considerable discussion the burden of which was that it would be exceedingly difficult to get the railroad to pass the delegates more than once a year. The resolution was adopted. Col nel Waddell started that with out the co operation of the railroad the society could not live two years. It decided to hold the annual meeting on the second Tuesday in August of each year. last night’s session. The time of the convention last night was given up to an experience meet.ng, the subject for discussion being. “The wisdom of a diversifie 1 agriculture as itlastraied by success ful truck growers.” Major G. M. Ryals, the big city farmer from Savannah, led the dis cussion, b°ginniug by saying that when he came to Georgia ttventy-fiv® years ago, he had several hundred dollars less than the shirt on bia back, but now he had a decent suit of clothes and it was paid for. He told of the work of the truck farmer, sayiug that his lands were never idle a single day in the year. He went into detail, telling how he planted aud cultivated the differ ent crops. He was plied with ques tions, all of which lie answered in a satisfactory manner. An average crop of potatoes was from sixty to eighty barrels an acre, he said. He believed iD the moon for some things, but it didn't count much with a truck farmer who had a big lot of land to cultivate. A delegate asked the major to give his experience with strawberries. He culled forth laughter by saying tbe best way, in his opinion, to raise strawberries, was with a silver spoon. He said he had paid SB,OOO to the ♦ raneportation companies this year for hauling the products oil' 158 acres of land. Colonel. R. J. Redding followed Maj or ltyals, advising the use of nitrate of soda upon gardens as a top dresser, especially for tomatoes. W. H. Wilder, Maior of Albany, Ga , says be has suffered with rheu matism for fifteen years, and in that time he tried all the so-called specif ics, but to no purpose. His grand son, who was on the B. & W. Kail road, finally got l iui a bottle of P. P. P. The first bottle of P. P. P. showed its remarkable effects, and after usiug a short time the rheuma tism disappeared, and he writes * he feels like a Lew man, and takes pleas ure in recommending it to rheuma tism sufferers.
