THE MONITOR.
A few ilar* ago a crank by tljo name
of Peudergrast, called at the homo of
Carter Harrison. mayor of Chicago, and
deliberately ahot the tnayot dead. He
then took the afreet car for the police
atation, where he gave himself .up. He
made no attempt at escape or denial but
confessed the crime, anil gave as a rea
son for committing the dead that Mr.
Harriaou had promised to make him
corporation counsel, and hud not done
it; and for that he killed him. The ab
surdity of the thing consists in the fact
that he was not a lawyer , and could not
therefore hold the office that lie says the
mayor bad promised to give him,

HIS MONTHLY TALK WITH THE
GEORGIA FARMERS
On Subjects of General Interest Per
taining to the Farm and
Garden—Good Advice.
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Qa., Oct. 1, 1893.
Cotton picking is now the all-absorb
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 because, 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 mnch cotton is forced on the
market which could otherwise quietly
await favorable prices.
LET US CONSIDER
this question. Suppose every Georgia
farmer had, in the past, made it a part
of his farm economy to sow largely in
the fall of oats, rye and barley, with
j enough wheat, where it can be raised,
for home 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 be 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
I 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 lie reduced to a
half or a fourth of that amount, and yet,
paradoxical as it may seem, the smaller
i amount may be made to represent more
actual cash than the larger. But this
much-to-be-des'.red result cannot be
reached by the old haphazard methods.
Careful study must lie given not only to
the plants, tlieir 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
! best and cheapest plan of restoring fer
tility to lands worn by years and years
of successive cotton and corn culture.
In the history ot our agricultural
country ther. have been three periods:
First, the strictly pastoral stage, with
: only a sufficient area under cultivation
1 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 hinds being fresh and
filled with humus, a moderate appliea
' tion of energy caused the yields from all
crops to be abundant. The barns were
filled, cotton was king, the fanners were
independent, and contentment marked
the second 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
belled. and we find ourselves struggling
against the third and perhaps most diffi
cult era. in which our lands do not
respond as formerly, and we are com
pelled. if we would realize remunerative
returns, to r. sort to some system of
renovation and rotation. Even in the
grain growing middle and eastern states
the lands show such a marked decline
that the farmers have been compelled to
substitute 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 new*, r and more fertile
western lands, 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
fon*st gwiwth. which from our prodigal
us»> 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
even’ shower, and nearly every atom of
available plant food either leached out
by winter rains or burnt out by our long
summer suns. These 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 224 pounds 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 these lands with some crop,
peas, clover, rye. that will arrest this
waste, make some return for the labor
and at the same time accumulate a srip
plv of nitrogen for future crops,
i If you are unable to do thts at least
cover it with Japan clover, that is in lo
calities suited to clover, u liich 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 benefiting the land, will
furaise 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
us and we must meet it successfully or
go to the wall. A beginning 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 mnch 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 farmer 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 qnote from a
valued exchange, so clearly and forcibly
treats of this subject that I feel it can
not be improved upon; -
“What, fanners need to learn in wheat
growing districts is the great value of a
regular rotation in which a leguminous
crop immediately precedes tho 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 difficult to
cure the pea vines as hay. ran them
through the cutter when in fnll 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 > jrv 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 lie
gained by deep plowing of land are not
for onr 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 onr work has to lie gone
ovor in the spring. This is. in a meas
ure, true, and if this disintegration were
the only advantage tlieir position would
be well taken. But there are other and
equally strong reasons for deep fall plow
ing, more especially on our stiff red
lauds, 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 lie brought to the surface
and there combined with vegetable mat
ter and 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" and
certainly his eminent success should en
courage’ others to try the same plan, be
ing assured that it is not an empty
theory.
Let me urge this plan upon the atten
tion of our fanners. 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 important
adjunct in this work of renovation, but
1 do say that the man who is able to do
this rail plowing, following it with le
guminous crops, will attain to surpris
ing results and at far less cost.
CUT THE GRASS
which all over the state now covers the
corn fields and which, where peas were
thinly sown, has sprung up, offering the
farmer a beautiful crop or the very best
hay. far superior to that imported from
other states. We not only need it on
our farms, but there is a eady 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 his hard-earned 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 changes of food, but
change often. A good guide for a safe
quantity of grain per day to maturing
cattle is one pound to every hundred of
their own weight. Thus an animal
weighing 1,000 may receive 10 pounds.
