MONTHLY TALK
The Commissioner’s Letter to
the Farmers of Georgia.
IMPORTANT MATTER 3 DISCUSSED.
The Quention of the Probable Cotton Acre
age For the • outing Year Is Attracting
Attention on All Sides and the Commis
sioner Presents Some Facts on the Sub
ject That Every Farmer Should Consider.
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 1, 1890.
Just now the question of the probable
cotton acreage for the coming year is
attracting worldwide attention, and as
this is a subject of primary importance
to each and every farmer in Georgia,
as well as the entire south, we present
a few facts for the careful consideration
of those who are contemplating the at
tractive, but deceptive prospect of a big
cotton crop and remunerative prices. In
the monthly talks for December and
January we endeavored to expose the
fallacy of such expectations, and urged
that our agricultural interests for ’96 bo
built on a stronger foundation.
The Cotton Growers’ Protective Asso
ciation is doing a good work in attract
ing attention to our fatal errors in the
past, and to exposing the costly folly of
a largo cotton crop at the expense of tlio
perhaps more important provision sup
ply. To induce a concert of action on
this subject among farmers is important,
but it can only be reached when each in
dividual farmer is convinced that year
in and year out it is to his best interest
to raise his supplies at home and make
his cotton purely a surplus crop and for
this reason we should bring every argu
ment to bear which will help him to
this decision. Once his mind is thor
oughly made up, we will see the cotton
crop curbed within profitable bounds,
and while the income from this source
will be maintained, the other crops will
be cultivated and gathered, and thus
represent an additional clear profit. Tlio
south can raiso cotton cheaper than any
other country, and therefore no rival
can successfully onter the field if we
manage our great staple crop on sound
business principles. An American crop
which forces the price below 10 cents is
certainly too large. We should plant
as near as possible to a 7,000,000 balo
basis, which will insure a fair margin
of profit. If by an increased acreage
and an increased use of fertilizers and
other expenses we produce 9,000,000 or
10,000,000 bales, every bale will, accord
ing to all precedent, bo sold at a loss
|of at least 1, 2 or perhaps 8 cents
a pound. A 7,000,000 bjiia c'-Sv-iaV. >lO
cenfkwiD bn tig $350,000,000. A 9.000,000
tale crop will bring at the highest
only 7 cents a pound, or $315,000,000, a
loss of $35,000,000, not counting the
additional cost of producing the larger
crop. If it costs 8 cents a pound to
raise the 7,000,000 bale crop, which is
about the average cost of production,
that represents $280,000,000. This crop,
if sold at 10 cents, will net the farmers
$70,000,000 over and above the cost of
production, with plenty of provisions
for another year—9,ooo,ooo bales at a
cost of 8 cents per pound for production,
will represent $360,000,000 and if sold
for 7 cents will only bring 315,000,000, a
loss of $45,000,000 to the producers.
Adding the profit on the lesser crop, to
the loss on the greater we have $115,-
000,000 in favor of a reduced area and a
smaller crop.
Facts and figures gathered from past
, experience carry more weight than any
mere words of advice, and to thought
ful men, the following will appeal with
unmistakable force :
It has been conclusively shown that
outside of the cotton grown and con
sumed in other countries that is Asia,
Africa, South America and Mexico, the
Uuited States furnishes about 75 per
cent of the cotton of commerce. In
other words the world is dependent on
the southern farmers for three fourths
of the cotton which it uses and which
cannot be produced elsewhere. From
this simple statement it will be seen
what a power we hold among the na
tions of the world and what a lever to
lift ourselves and our soction into pros
perity. But when our cotton crop is made
wo cannot eat it, nor can we wear it
until it passes into other hands. Now
if our necessities for food and other sup
plies are such that we are obliged to
part with our cotton in order to obtain
these, we are necessarily compelled to
take whatever price the buyer offers.
It thus appears that our lever is power
less in our hands, unless we rest it on
the fulcrum of abundant home supplies.
If a man has plenty of home supplies
he can afford to wait. The world is
obliged to have his cotton. This was
demonstrated during the civil war,
when the enforced suspension of cotton
production in the south caused the price
of one ponnd to reach the astounding
figure or $2.85 —although foreign coun
tries were making the most superhu
man efforts to supply the demand.
The following is also worthy of care
ful consideration : In the last 19 years
our cotton has brought to our doors
$6,000,000,000 —that is, that enormous
sum has been received for this one crop
alone. It is also shown that, as com
pared with the exports of other crops,
the value of the cotton exported from
the south in 19years, is overso percent,
greater than the combined value of the
total exports of wheat and flour for the
whole country—for the same period,
and more astounding still we find that
the total value of the wheat aud flour
exported from the Uuited States for 74
vears is $1,000,000,000, or $2,000,000,000
less than the value of the cotton ex
ported from the south in 19 years I
Whether or not the individual farmer
has reaped the full benefit, the fact re
mains that the south has had poured
into her lap a fabulous sum, fully
enough to have enriched and made her
Independent.
Of this vast wealth, what remains?
Hundreds and millions have been paid
out each year for provisions and manu
factured articles, while hundreds more
have been absorbed in the effort to cul
tivate at a pecuniary loss large areas in
cotton. The mistake has been that the
yearly cotton crop has heietofore repre
sented the product of the combined
agricultural force of almost the entire
Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.
McDonough, ga.. Friday, February u, ihdg.
Ik nth. It is only siuce a part of this
energy has I icon diverted to the raising
of home provisions that we begin to Hee
a glimmer of agricultural hope and that
farmers every where are better able to
enter on the work of another crop.
This is the whole situation in a nut
shell. Its universal adaption compre
hends the reduction of the acreage, the
lessening of the cost of production and
the prosperity of our agriculture. Un
like the farmers of many other coun
tries, there is no power which can dic
tate the course of southern men in this
matter. Tlio decision must bo reached
through their owu convictions and the
responsibility rests on them to deter
mine whether they will risk the bond
age of a large cotton crop, and probable
debt, or less cotton, ample provisions
and independence.
In making this decision, let ns keep In
mind that with the same labor we can
by careful selection of land and judi
cious preparation, manuring and culti
vation nearly double the yield, while
other expenses, except picking and gin
ning remain about the same. The bet
ter the land the more manure it will
bear and we can thus, in a measure,
substitute fertilization for labor. As it
is not the number of bales, but the pro
fit in those bales, which is most impor
tant to us, it follows that wo should use
every means to reduce the cost of pro
duction. We may manure good land
with less risk, indeed it does not pay to
waste labor and manure in raising cot
ton on dead poor land. Such land
should either be reclaimed by judicious
treatment with legumes and rotation of
crops or, if that is impractible, left to
the kindly offices of Mother Naturo.
Wo can then concentrate our forces of
labor and fertilizers on the more fertile
portions.
FOOD SUPPLIES.
Under tlio prevailing condition of
European affairs nothing is more prob
able than an advance in the price of
food supplies of all kinds. A European
war would certainly annihilate cotton,
and raise the price of all bread and
food stuffs. A short time since the
mere rumor of war between England
and Germany caused a decided advance
in breadstuff’s in the Chicago market.
We should heed these warnings, and
prepare should the unsettled condition
of European affairs result in war, to bo
independent of that disaster, which we
can only do by having a full stock of
provisions on hand.
That we are learning to remedy our
past mistakes, the following figures,
takeu from the crop returns, will bear
evidence. And that to these facts the
present improved condition of farmers
is largely due, is too apparent to ro
qnire argument:
The south’s grain crop for ’94 was
611,000,000 bushels, valued at $302,-
000,more than the value of the entire cot
ton crop. The yield for ’95 will probably
reach 60,000,000 bushels more than for
’94. This fact, and also the interest in
manufactures, the diversification of
farm products, the development of the
fruit and truck industries are all unit
ing to retain at home a large part of
the formarly found*its way
north and west for tho purchase of arti
-1 cles which we find wo can produce
cheaper at home.
FERTILIZERS UNPER NAMES.
To put the farmers on notico as to
certain brands of fertilizers, which are
being offered for sale under misleading
names, we quote the following from
our last fertilizer bulletin. These bul
letins are valuable to farmers, and to
obtain them it is only necessary to ap
ply to the Georgia Department of Ag
riculture, Atlanta, giving proper ad
dress. The department has hud a good
deal of trouble recently from tlio efforts
of companies outsido the state to boom
certain inferior fertilizers and has re
ceived hundreds of letters from farm
ers enquiring as to the merits of these
brands.
The bulletin says:
“The sale of the above Bone Phos
phate Fertilizer, Special Crop Formula
and Paine’s Cotton and Corn Fertilizer
is forbidden under such names, as they
violate the spirit of the Fertilizer Act,
which requires a total of 10 per cent of
available plant food.
“The Bone Phosphate Fertilizer must
be sold for what it really is, and not by
a name indicating a complete fertilizer.
It is simply a Florida soft phosphate with
a trace of potash.
“The special Crop Formula must be
sold for what it really is, and not by a
name indicating a complete fertilizer.
It is a soft phosphate with potash.
Bale’s Rust Preventive should be sold
as common salt and not masquerade
under the name Rust Preventive, which
conveys the impression that it con
tains potash. It is 94.64 per cent pure
salt.
“Low priced fertilizers are much to
be desired, but deceptive names must
not be used to make inferior goods ap
pear of average character. Such prac
tice works a great injury to the farmer
in inducing him to use goods under a
misapprehension as to their true com
position.”
There is a material now being sold in
Georgia which is attracting considera
ble attention on account of the exten
sive advertising which has been given
it and the broad claims which have been
made. This material is tha Soft Phos
phate of Florida.
These ph<»phates only contain be
tween 2 and 3 per cent of available
phosphoric acid and in no way repre
sent the acid phosphates of the market
which contain from 13 to 14 per cent of
available phosphoric acid.
This material has not been tried suffi
ciently to demonstate with accuracy
whether it is in any way superior to or
dinary “Floats.” “Floats” are simply
very finely ground phosphate rock, aud
in so far as the Soft Phosphates contain
more available phosphoric acid than the
“Floats,” in so far they must certainly
be superior, but that the bulk of the
phosphoric acid, which is in an insolu
ble form, is any more available than
that in the “Floats,” there has not yet
been sufficient evidence to fully demon
strate.
These phosphates contain from 15 por
cent to 27 per cent total phosphoric acid.
They usually, however, run about 20
per cent. This, its promoters claim,
can be all secured by the plant the first
season. The evidence thus far has not
been of a conclusive nature. The claim
certainly appears an unwarranted one,
as positive proof is wanting.
Acid phosphates ol the market usu
ally contain from 14 to 18 per cent of
total phosphoric acid, of which from 13
to 16 per cent is available. This being
the case aud the Soft Phosphates only
running about 20 per cent total phos
phoric acid, with about V/ % available.
even if the Soft Phosphates were wholly
available, they would not much exceed
in viilue a high grade acid phosphate,
but it hns not yet been proveu thnt they
contain insoluble phosphorM acid in
such a form that it becomes: any more
quickly available than insoluble phos
phoric acid in any otlior kinti of finely
divided phosphate rook The’Soft Phos
phates are in an exceedingly fine state
of mechanical division, and pn this ac- i
count should weather more rapidly than
ordinary ground phosphate rock because |
a larger surface is exposed.
The law of Georgia recognises as com
mercial plant food available phosphoric
acid and does not so recognize insoluble
phosphoric acid.
It is well, with each new material, to
givo it a fair investigation upon its
merits, and if the farmers of the state
desire to try the Soft Phosphates on
their lands, he Department of Agricult
ure wishes tnem to do so with their eyes
wide open, and on this account has for
bidden the sale of this material under
any name which indicates that it is of
the same character as acid phosphate,
which it most certainly is not. As
above stated, it more closely approaches
in character a finely ground phosphate
rock.
Wo have permitted the sale of these
Soft Phosphates under their correct
namo, as “Soft Phosphate,” just we as
would any other crude fertilizing ma
terial, like land plaster, ashes, limo, etc.
There has been a strong off' >rt made
by several parties to secure permissii >n
to sell this material, mixed vyith potash
and ammonia, as a complete fertilizer.
The sale of such a mixture has always
been forbidden if it contained loss than
10 per cent of plant food, as clearly a
violation of the state laws. <
This material is a natuxJß product,
and if sold under its propor dame, will
deceive no one.
Tho price at which the §oft Phos
phates are usually sold is abut SIO.OO
per ton, and the price at Ifhw'h acid
phosphates are usually sold Im 13.00 per
ton. These figures are nowfer apart,
and if the claims of the SoftKhospnnte
people are not largoly trucHtho Soft
Phosphates would bo dear p such a
price. Scientific men do not flknit those
claims, and say that they chiefly

and have not been proven.
Any material which wflj furnish
Elant fowl to our fanners eMpply will
e welcome to us all, but myy cannot
afford to use such aiiprovettlmatnrlals,
and will not use them if theyfftre aware
of tlioir unproven character, Henr ,

Phosphates must bo sold as “t>oft Phos
phate” and not masqueradf as son) -
thing else but must stand Upon their
owu merits and not shine with tho re
flected glory of some other material.
SPRING OATS. &
Wo are now and will probably all
through February get much of the rain
fall which wo have lacked lor several
mouths, and while it is important that
we get the spring oats in the Mound by
tho latter part of the month cPtbo-first
of March, bocause they shiKH be well
established before the naf'Weather
comos on, it is equally important that
we do not attempt the work when the
laud is too wet. When plowed in this
state, it is almost impossible to bring It
into good condition for sowing or for
planting any other crop. Stubble land
will bo found first ready for the plo’ .
Do not burn the growth remaining on
the surface, but if necessary run a har
row or drag over the laud to break it
down. It will supply humus, aud thou
plow deep enough to reach some of the
soil, which has not heretofore been used
in making crops. This contains large
stores of plant food, aud even at this
season may be moderately and with
profit mixed with the surface goil.
Thorough preparation of the land before
seeding moans great saving in the sub
sequent cultivation. It has been truly
said that “the beat time to cultivate a crop
is before it in planted." As oats require
no after cultivation, it is all the more
important that the preparation of the
land be exceptionally thorough. The
averago price of oats on the market has
been maintained at a more uniform
rate than any other crop and the indi
cations are that the demand will in
crease rather than diminish. In view
of these facts it will pay Georgia farm
ers to plant a full crop, provided it is
done on good land, and with the fact in
viow that oats will roturn a bigger per
cent for good preparation and good fer
tilization than almost any other crop
because they have a greater power for
abstracting fertility from the soil itself.
We know that to some farmers it may
seom a waste of time, but it is neverthe
less a good investment to thoroughly
break the land, going a little into the
subsoil as suggested, and then harrow
before sowing. This will make a good
seedbed and if the seed are then nar
rowed in deep enough to cover them
well and a roller is just afterwards run
over the land we take all the chances
against a late freeze, and should there
be a dry season at the time of matur
ing moisture will be drawn from below
to sustain the plants. A fertilizer in
the following proportions, in larger or
smaller quantity to tho acre, according
to the fertility of the land, will be
found suitable: One part acid pnosphate;
three-fourths kaiuit; one-fourth cotton
seed meal; or, if preferred, the cotton
seed meal may be omitted and nitrate
of soda at the rate of 100 pounds to the
acre may be applied as a top dressing
when the crop has fairly started its
growth.
GRASS, CLOVER AND LUCERNE.
Land intended for these crops should,
when the weather permits, be gotten
into fine tilth, so that the seed may be
gown as early as possible. For up
lands. tall Meadow Oat, Orchard and
Bed Top. For low ground. Red Top.
Japan clover and lucerne should be
sown later. The latter requires very
rich land, thoroughly pulverized, and
while it is at first delicate and of slow
growth, when once well established, it
may be relied on to produce crops for
several successive years. It should be
carefully cultivated and kept entirely
free of weeds and grass.
PUTTING OUT MANURE.
We have found that when hurried for
time, a very good plan, instead of com
posting, is to haul the manure directly
to the fields and having opened the fur.
rows broad and deep, put in the manure
where it is to remain and throw two
furrows on this. If a long, narrow
scooter can be run in the bottom of the
furrow before the manure is covered, it
will break the subsoil, mix the manure
thoroughly and will be found the boat
paying furrow in making a crop.

What War Costs.
Some of the people who talk so
glibly iibout Wat have no idea of its
feariul cost.
In the past forty years 2,253,000
men havo lost their lives in various
conflicts. In the Crimean war 750,
000 men weie killed. In the Italian
war of 18511 the loss was 45,000. In
our civd war 800,000 men North and
South fell on the field of battle, lu
the Außtro Prussian war 18,000 per
islied; in the Franco-German struggle
215,000; in the Franco-Russian wai
250,000, to say nothing of the men
men killed in many lese notable con
flicts. Regarding the cost of these
wars the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
says:
“Nor is this all. These murderous
wars cost money and piles of it. The
Crimean war cost $2,000,000,000;
Italian war of 1859, $300,000,000;
Prusso—Danish war, $35,000,000; war
of the American rebellion, $7,400,000,-
000 France has paid neanly $3,500,-
000,009 as the cost price of her war
with Prussia iu 4870-71; the Prusso-
Austriau war cost $330,000;000; the
Russo - Turkish war, $125,000,000.
b.fio'wfid’a South African spat cost her
$8,770,000, and her Afghan “break
fast spell,” $12,250,000. Iu short,
since the opening of the troubles iu the
Crimea the world’s wars have cost, in
money alone, $13,265, or a
sum which, if equally divided, would
give to every man, woman and child on
the glob" a present of o $lO bill.”

The woman was comparatively a
stranger to him, but their case was oue
of love at first sight.
He went home with his license, mar
ried the idol of his heart and all went
on as merrily as a marriage bell could
until be and his wife went to visit his
mother-iu law at Grangerville.
Imagine his utter surprise and dis
may when he discovered that his
mother in-law was one of his old time
slavery wives, and that Lizzie Har
mon, the woman he had then been
married to several months, was his
own daughter his own flesh aud
blood.
They separated at once and John
says he can never be happy again.

As Abraham Lincoln called them, do

What they want is a medicine that will

favor of this medicine, and this is what
many thousands voluntarily say.

A Dramatic Incident,
tjuite a dramatic incident occurred
during (Joy. Atkinson's speech at
YVaycrogg on Monday, 20th ingt. The
Governor was in one of his best flightg
and wag carrying his audience along
with him in his tribute to Lee and
Jackson when he suddenly stopped.
The crowd vat rather startled at his
abrupt halt. Some few imagined tlmt
he was ill. His face wore nn anxious
look.
Suddeuly he said in low and im
pressive tones: “I cannot speak unless
I see people around me comfortable.
There is an elderly lady on my left
who has no chair. I mean the lady in
the aisle with the black bounet. She
seems to have come down to ug from
the time when all these heroes lived.
Such a woman deserves a front seat in
any assemblage in Georgia. I trust
she will take this chair."
The Governor then lifted from the
stage his own chair in which he had
been seated and passed it over to the
old lady, who made herself comforta
ble and sat down to listen to his ex
cellent speech. The Governor then
turned to the crowd of men standing
in the rear of the opera house and
said: “Hoys, 1 wish I had chairp to
give you all, hut as I haven’t 1 have
concluded to stand up with you "
The Governor's two remarks brought
down the house, the one for itß chival
ry, the other for its wit. He then
proceeded to deliver his stirring and
patriotic address.—Savannah Pross.
Indigestion is often taken for con
sumption. The word consumption
means wasting away, and dyspeptics
often waste away as badly as consump

The rcaaon people waste away is
because either they don’t get enough
to eat, or they don’t digest what they
do eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take

help you to digest your food and stop
your loss of flesh.
