COMMISSIONER Nt^Lii..
HIS MONTHLY TALK WITH THE
GEORGIA FARMERS
On Subjects of General Interest Per
taining to the Farm and
Garden—Good Advice.
\
Department or Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 1, 1893.
Cotton picking is now the all-abeorb
ing work, but there are other duties be
longing to this season, which, if a differ
ent system were adopted, would be con
sidered as important and command an
equal share of attention. On most Geor
gia farms this duty of saving the cotton
takes precedence of and overshadows
every other because of the large area de
voted to this crop; because it is regarded
as the only money crop of the south; be
cause the farmer must hurry to get out
enough to meet his obligations, now ma
turing, and liecause, if left standing in
the fields beyond a certain period, it sus
tains irreparable injury from wind and
weather, it is not, therefore, to be won
dered at that other duties must lie in
abeyance; that the fall preparation and
fall crops are generally neglected, and
also that innch cotton is forced on the
market which could otherwise quietly
await favorable prices.
LET US CONSIDER
this question. Suppose every Georgia
fanner hail, in the past, marie it a part
of his furrn economy to sow largely in
the fall of oats, rye and barley, with
enough wheat, where it can be raised,
for homo consumption; had, each spring,
put in full crops of corn, peas, sorghum,
potatoes, ground peas, and by this policy
and by concentration in work and fertili
zation, had not only reduced the area,
but also the cost of cotton production!
We would now witness, in one state at
least, agricultural independence. For,
although the unequal pressure of our
national legislation might fall most
heavily on the business of the farmer he
could bear up against the unjust load,
and while other men and other avoca
tions might lie swept away in the gen
eral destruction, he, being grounded on
the rock of home supplies, could weather
the storm and emerge, if not unharmed,
at least with life and limb and strength
to begin the struggle anew.
Because I am more and more im
pressed with the importance of this mo
mentous question I would again urge its
careful study. No one knows better
than I the difficulties in the way of
changing a cotton farm into one of di
versified crops. No one more fully un
derstands the feeling of uncertainty with
which a man embarks into a new and
untried system after following its oppo
site all his life. To one who has been
accustomed to selling a hundred bales it
seems like starvation to be reduced to a
half or a fourth of that amount, and yet,
paradoxical as it may seem, the smaller
amount may be made to represent more
actual cash than the larger. But this
mnch-to-lie-desired result cannot lie
reached by the old haphazard methods.
Careful study must be given not only to
the plants, their habits and needs, but to
soils and soil conditions: to fertilizers
and their properties: to their elements
available and suited to the lands and the
crops under cultivation; to the system of
plowing, which will best bring to the
surface the elements existing even in our
poorest lands; and last, but not least, the
test and cheapest plan of restoring fer
tility to lands worn by years and years
of successive cotton and corn culture.
In the history of our agricultural
country there have lieeu three periods:
First, the strictly pastoral stage, with
only a sufficient area under cultivation
to afford bread, the inhabitants depend
ing on flocks and herds for sources of
supply. As the population increased
and a more urgent necessity arose for
larger bread supplies the forests were
felled, and, the lands being flesh and
filled with humus, a moderate applica
tion of energy caused the yields from all
crojis to lie abundant. The barns were
filled, cotton was king, the farmers were
independent, and contentment marked
the six-oml era. But population has
wonderfully increased, cultivated lands,
after a long series of years in which
everything has been done to deplete,
nothing to build up, have at last re
tielled, and we find ourselves struggling
against the third and perhaps most diffi
cult era, in which our lands do not
resjsmd as formerly, and we are com
pelled, if we would realize remunerative
returns, to resort to some system of
renovation and rotation. Even in the
grain growing middle and eastern states
ttie lands show such a marked decline
that the farmers have l>een compelled to
sulwtitute other crops and turn their at
tention to more careful systems of rota
tion and cultivation. In many instances
the farmers, becoming discohraged, have
emigrated to the newer and more fertile
western lauds, where they again subdue
the forests or bring under cultivation
the rolling prairies. In our own section,
comparatively new. there are thousands
of acres once covered with magnificent
forest gaewth. which from onr prodigal
use of their resources, and our want of
care in preserving them against destruc
tion, are practically abandoned. the gul
lies widening and growing deeper with
every shower, and nearly every atom of
available plant food either leached out
by winter rains or bnrnt out by our long
ftnmiuer suns. Thesu bare lands are
••wasting lands.” It has been proven in
England by careful experiment that
even a poor soil •'without vegetation
loses annually by drainage nitrates
equivalent to 224jxmnds per acre of so
dium nitrate." The naked land itself,
left bare, wastes by natural drainage
that amount of this fertilizer per acre.
What a powerful argument in favor of
covering those lands with some crop,
peas, clover, rye, that will arrest this
waste, make sane return for the labor
and at the same tune accumulate a sup
ply of nitrogen for future crops.
[ If you are unable to do this at least
cover it with Japan clover, that is in lo
calities suited to clover, which will de
posit nitrogen in the soil and hold it
there for future use. This plant will
grow easily without care or attention,
and, besides benefitting the land, will
fumisn pasture for stock.
I am aware this
UPBUILDING
is slow and tedious work, and that we
can only work on a limited area each
year, but the era of exhaustion is upon
ns and we must meet it successfully or
go to the wall. A loginning has already
been made. On many farms the fields
of cow peas, that hope of Georgia farm
ers, are now ready for the reaper and
attest the effort that is being made to re
turn to the soil some of the fertility that
we have so ruthlessly destroyed. But
we must broaden the foundation, and
there is much work that can be done on
a southern farm at this season, not so
much with a view to present returns as
to laying a solid basis for future opera
tions. The oat crop throughout the
state ought to be in the ground by the
middle of this month, as later sowings
are always liable to winter killing. Rye
and barley can be sown much later, and,
wherever possible, heavy seedings of
these should be put in. These green
crops not only contribute a large quota
to the food supply for man and beast,
but feed the land also and put it in bet
ter condition for the coming summer’s
crops. The bulk of the
WHEAT
crop will be sown in the next few weeks.
As I have advised before, even in those
sections where wheat is not a paying
money crop, each fanner should sow
enough to supply his family, and this,
with the improvement to his land, will
reconcile him to the work. The follow
ing on wheat, which I quote from a
valued exchange, so clearly and forcibly
treats of this subject that I feel it can
not be improved upon: -
‘•What farmers need to learn in wheat
growing districts is the great value of a
regular rotation in which a leguminous
crop immediately precedes the wheat.
Instead of putting wheat in roughly on
corn ground with a sprinkling of fertil
izer to make a crop and leave the land
worse off, how much better it would be
to sow the annual winter-growing crim
son clover, with the same amount of fer
tilizer, among the corn in August o.
September; let it be pastured whenever
fit to be trodden in winter, and in May
plow it under and sow the land in cow
peas broadcast. The result would be a
big crop of pea vine hay for stock and
manure making, and a preparation for a
wheat crop far more certain than the
notoriously uncertain corn-ground
wheat And if you find it diftienlt to
euro rhe pea vines as liny, run them
through the cutter when in full pod, and
make the best ensilage that can be made
for cows. With plenty of ensilage,
clover hay and wheat straw, and plenty
of good stock to eat them, the road to
big wheat crops, rich land and indepen
dence is open, and a farm enriched will
always enrich the farmer as fast as a
run-down farm will run him down.”
Another subject v cry little understood
and therefore very little practiced at the
south is
FALL PLOWING.
It is contended by many southern ag
riculturists that the advantages to be
gained by deep plowing of land are not
for our section. Their idea is that as we
do not have the heavy freezes of more
northern latitudes, which were to disin
tegrate the land, the benefits to us are
not commensurate with tfie labor, and
that from the packing heavy winter
rains much of our work has to be gone
over in the spring. This is, in a meas
ure, true, and if this disintegration were
the only advantage their position would
be well taken. But there are other and
equally strong reasons for deep fall plow
ing, more especially on our stiff red
lands, which are only in rare instance
thoroughly worked. Among these rea
sons in favor of deep fall plowing are
the following: The loosening, turning
and airation of the subsoil; the preven
tion of washing: the storing of moisture
from the winter rains, which, falling on
unplowed land, pass off. carrying with
them much of the top soil; the bringing
to the surface of the mineral elements,
which are stored in sufficient quantities
in all our lands, and for which, in the
form of commercial phosphates and pot
ash, we each year pay out large sums.
These locked up stores, to become avail
able, must be brought to the surface
and there combined with vegetable mat
ter anil fall under the direct action of
the rains, the frosts and the atmosphere.
By this deep fall plowing we open the
door through which nature yields up
these treasures. Jeff Wilborn, high au
thority in such matters, says that by
deep plowing of red clay lands as early
as possible in fall and winter and then
cultivating in peas, to supply the neces
sary nitrogen, heavy crops can be made
and the land improved each year. He
has “proved his faith by his works” anil
certainly his eminent success should en
courage* others to try the same plan, l>e
ing assured that it is not an empty
theory.
Let me urge this plan upon the atten
tion of our farmers. Let each one try a
small area as an experiment, doing the
work thoroughly, and, having once satis
fied himself as to its utility and practi
cality, let him appropriate the minerals
dormant in his soil and thus avoid these
heavy obligations for fertilizers, which
are now hastening his cotton on the mar
ket. I do not mean that he can dis
pense altogether with the use of com
mercial fertilizers, for in conjunction
with green crops they are an imjMjrtant
adjunct in this work of renovation, but
I do say that the man who is able to do
this fall plowing, following it with le
guminous crops, will attain to surpris
ing results ami at far less cost.
ITT THE GRASS
which all over the state now covers the
com fields and which, where peas were
thinly sown, has sprung up, offering the
farmer a beautiful crop of the very beet
hav. far superior to that imported from
other states. We not only need it on
our farms, but there is a oady market
in the towns for a good article, well
cured. The farmer who allows this to
waste may yet have to buy the imported
article with some of hi# hanl-eamed and
not too abundant cotton money.
R. T. Nesbitt, Com.
Raw eggs are good to cure scours in
young stock. One egg makes a good
dose. Give plain or in boiled milk.
Give fattening cattle as much as they
will eat. and often—five times a day.
Never give rapid chmiges of food, but
change often. A good guide for a safe
quantity of graiti per day to maturing
cattle is one pound to every hundred of
their own weight. Thus an annual
weighing IjAK) may receive 10 pounds.
his herds a strong kerosene mixture, and
found it effective.
MITES.
Can you tell me how to rid my poultry
house and fowls of mites ?
A. P. A.. Rex.
The question is one frequently asked
by those who take an interest in the
small things of the farm which add so
much to the comfort and profit of fann
ing.
Provide your fowls with a good dust
bath, to which sulphur has been
added; Get a gallon, more or less, of
crude petroleum, and, with a spraying
bellows, if you have it, or with a brush,
if you have nothing better, thoroughly
saturate every part of the inside of the
poultry houses. This will rid them of
every vestige of lice, large or small,
and, as the small lice or mites mostly
leave the fowls in the morning, it wul,
in a couple of applications, rid them of
the pests. A little lard oil and kerosene,
half and half, applied under the wings
of the birds will kill all the large lice
that are on them. But every person who
has many fowls should have some kind
of a spraying apparatus, and with this
spray the house once a month with ker
osene emulsion. This can be quickly
done and will keep everything perfectly
clean.
SCOURS.
My calves have the scours very badly.
Can you give me a remedy.
H. J. EL, Bolton.
Scalding the milk will usually remedy
diarrhoea in calves, und this is much
better than using drugs, which are apt
to injure digestion. In obstinate cases a
puff-ball squeezed into the milk and
mixed with it will remedy matters at
once. But it is unfortunate if such ir
regularities in digestion are allowed to
occur. They commonly result from im
proper methods of feeding.
COMPOST.
How mnen compost can I use to the
acre if L. A. I.
In the use of all fertilizers the charac
ter of the soil must be considered, but it
is difficult to name a land under proper
conditions. Replying to a similar ques
tion Furman’s reply was :
“It is hard to use too much. In France
the average is 20,000 pounds to the acre.
A Georgia farmer will hardly average
100 pounds to the acre. I will average
10,000 pounds next yoar. Nothing pays
near so well.”
LIME.
Will lime be a benefit to pasture lands
and how should it be applied ?
S.I. H.
Lime as a top dressing will prove ben
eficial. It should never be applied in a
caustic state, but only after being air
slaked and mixed with much ashes,
road washings, decomposed sodsor other
wastes, and never mix with stable mar
nuie or plowed under.
TRANSPLANTING TREES.
When is the best time to- transplant
trees 't O. T . 1.
Trees can be successfully transplanted
either in the fall or spring, much de
pending upon the season as to- the degree
ol success. As a rule, we preler to
transplant in the fall.
Item* of Intercut.
REPLIES TO SHORT INQUIRIES.
Sheep enrich land very materially
when leeding over it.
The great bane of clover fields, after
a catch has been secured, is weeds.
Scientific agriculture is a big name,
but it ouly means intelligent farming.
When a cucumber is allowed to ripen
on the vine, the latter will cease bearing.
Ducks do best on. a variety of food
with plenty of grass and a little grain at
night.
If horses are all)wed to graze for an
hour or so after the day's work they
will be all the better for it.
Rye may be sown as soon as oats and
early potatoes are harvested, and will
afford a good Vate for stock in the fall.
After wheat is stacked it sliould not
be threshed until it has gone through the
sweat, which generally takes about six
weeks.
In bee keeping, use no moth traps or
complicated hives. If yon use a good
frame hive anil keep your colonies
strong, you need not fear the moth.
It is claimed that a full feed of hay to
horses, following the feeding of concen
trated food, is wasteful, for the reason
that it crowds the first out of the
stomach before proper digestion has been
accomplished. And so, in order to se
cure best results, hay should be fed at
first and the concentrated food after
wards.
Tomatoe» at the Maryland 1 Station.
In a bulletin of the Maryland station
are given data in regard to the testing
of S 3 varieties of tomatoes, from which
it is learned that as regards earliness
the best results were obtained with Ear
liest of All, Table Queen, Paragon, Iguo
tum No. 10, Long Keeper, Michigan,
Cumberland Red and Favorite.
The largest yield were given by Balti
more Prize Taker, Cumberland Red,
Cbemin No. 5, Mitchell, Money Maker,
Paragon, Perfection. Purple Queen, Red
Queen and Royal Red.
An experiment with different ferti
lizers for tomatoes is also reported. The
results were undoubtedly materially af
fected by unfavorable weather. The
largest yield was given by the plat on
which dissolved boneblack was used
alone, and the next largest where a com
plete fertilizer was applied.
SnbstltntM For GUm la Greenhouses.
Trials with paper and oiled cloth, as
reported by Professor L. H. Bailey of
the New York Cornell station, indicate
that these are unsatisfactory substitutes
for glass in greenlwrase roofs during the
winter. “For simmer or late spring
use. oiled muslin ia fairly satisfactory.
Plants which require a heavy shade in
summer can be grown to advantage
under such a roof. In the summer of
ltibl we found** sloth roofed house to be
an excellent place for flowering the
tuberous begonias."
