Atlanta, May 23.—Louis L. Abbott,
Jr., son of a leading Atlanta merchant,
who was but yesterday the hope and
pride of a proud father and fond moth
er, is today filling the grave of a sui
cide and the doting parents are plunged
in a sea of grief.
The cause of young Abbott’s rash act
ts supposed to have been a serious
affection of the head, which, for sev
eral months, has caused him much suf
fering; and it is believed that in a fit
of temporary aberation, caused by his
suffering, and the fear that he could
never be cured, he determined to end
his misery by taking his own life.
Young Abbott visited the family of
Dr. T. C. Tupper, rector of St. Phillips
Episcopal church in the evening and
spent some time in company with the
ladies of the household.
He appeared in bright spirits most of
the time while at the house of his
friends, but it was observed that occ a-
tionally he seemed to be suffering from
3ome mental trouble and would speak
of it being his last evening with them,
as he was going away. This the ladies
treated lightly, and argued that his
home was so pleasant and his surround
ings were too bright to sever such ties
and go away.
Finally, the young man bade his
friends farewell, and, turning to those
who had accompanied him to the door,
he remarked that the capitol, just across
the street, being open he believed be
would walk through it on his way
home.
These were the last words he ever
spoke, and, going np the steps of the
building, he entered and passed into the
right wing of the rotunda, where he
seated himself upon one of the cush
ioned chairs and placed the muzzle of
his pistol to his right temple, aud in
another instant the bullet had plowed
through his brain , and he fell over a
corpse.
He was 17-years-old. and a member
of the Boy’s High school.
G»v« the Premier the Lie.
Paris, May 25.—The newspapers are
printing details of the scene in the
chamber of deputies immediately after
the division on the motion for the
prosecution of M. Baudin. M. Baudry
d’Asson, as soon as the vote was an-
nounceek. ran to the tribune, caught
M. Dupuy by the collar, and shook him
as he shouted “coward,” “liar” and
“humbug” in his ears. Ushers drew
away Baudry d’Asson and escorted the
premier from the chamber. Despite
all this the expected duel is not likely
to be fought. Baudry d’Asson is re
ported to have been persuaded by his
seconds to withdraw nis challenge.

The circular upon which this report
is based, embraced 64 inquiries and was
prepared with a view of obtaining as
full and accnrate information as possi-
crop areas, condition, etc., and
such other facta as would show the sit
uation of our farmers at the beginning
of the new crop year. To present all
the statistical information collected is
beyond the limits of this report.
We are aware that the correctness of
the various agricultural reports is fre
quently called in question and are grati
fied that the reports of this department
for last season were so fully sustained
in detail by y'eld. As the large number
of correspondents of the department are
selected with reference to their position
to have a knowledge of the things upon
which they report, no matter how much
the compiled figures may conflict with
special individual views, their approxi
mate correctness can but be sustained.
In those matters upon which corre
spondents report in regard to which the
department has other sources of inform
ation, the figures substantially accord.
We thus premise this report for the rea
son that between it and the general un
derstanding of the situation, outside of
those directly interested, a conflict may
exist.
COTTON.
Under the head of our groat staple
crop the following questions were asked:
Acreage compared to an average?
Acreage compared to last year? What
per cent of the total area in cotton in
your county is manured with either
commercial fertilizers, borne manure or
compost? What par cent of these was
home manure or compost ? What per
cent of the crop is up? What is the
stand compared with a good stand?
Condition of plants compared with an
average? How much earlier or later
than usual? ComDared to the whole
area in grain crops, corn and wheat, 1(*0
representing sue area, what is the area
in cotton in your county ?
The matters of most importance to
the cotton grower and our entire agri
cultural interests raised by these ques
tions is relative to the cotton acreage.
On this subject we have had the benefit
of answers from about 800 reporters,
and in addition to this Special reports
from interviews with a large number
of farmers. If these reports can bj
taken as authoritative, and we believe
they can. the cotton acreage of the state
while showing a slight increase over
last year, is still not np to an average
as made by the two great crop years of
1890 and 1891. In reporting the crop aa
not up to au average and as exceeding
the crop of last year by only 4frper cent,
we are aware that some may question
the accuracy of the report on the ground
that the report for the same month lost
year showed a very marked decrease iu
acreage, which cannot by comparison
be reconciled with the figures of thi-
year, in making such comparisons ic
shoild be remdfaberod that the de
creased acreage of last year was e
compared to the large acreage of *9J ami
not as compared to the average acreage
of the state. As .shown by the tabulated
statement compared to au average, the
area in the state planted in cottqn is 97.
and os compared to last year 104}. The
greatest increase is in north Georgia,
while middle Georgia shows the small
est. The condition of the cxUp through
southern Georgia is fair, and, as a rule,
average stands ard reported in middle
Georgia, and in north Georgia the crop
outlook is not so promising, the cob 1
weather having retarded germination
and growth.
Considered as a whole on the prospect
ive cotton production in the state, the
news from correspondents is more satis
factory than the pessimistic views in
dulged iu by many. We trust that the
small acreage indicated will be substan
tiated, and that the price of our treat
money crop may be allowanced by pro
duction within the demands of con
sumption.
CORN.
It is pleasing to be able to again re
port an increase in the acreage planted
in corn in the state, and also gratifying
to note that more attention is being paid
to fertilizing in raising corn, as indica
ted by the large quantities of stable
manure, composted and commercial
fertilizer used under this crop. While
the increase is only 8 per cent as against
14 per cent last year, it demonstrates a
steady tendency on the part of our
farmers to raise their supplies at home,
and to cease depending on thegraineriea
of the west for their food supply.
OATS.
The acreage planted in this crop re
mains substantially the same, and there
is little change in the relative quantity
sown in the fall and spring. The pros
pects for a fair yield over the state are
not good, though special localities re
port a fine outlook. Recent rains have
materially improved the prospect, and
we trust that the harvest maybe larger
than is now promised.
acreage that interest in this orop Is in
creasing, and that the falling off in
acreage prior to last year promises to
be recovered. All north Georgia and
much of middle Georgia are well adapt
ed to this cereal, and more care shonld
be bestowed on its cultivation. The
yield last year was good, and in many
counties this year the outlook is prom
ising, though in localities injury from
rust is reported. By sowing wheat a
profitable redaction of the cotton acre
age can be made, and our fanners
should study the best methods of sow
ing, preparation of the soil and fertility.
FERTILIZERS.
The purchase of commercial fertili
zers and their use in the state exceeds |
that of last year, but, except to take the |
place of compost, the reports of corre- j
spondents does not indicate that au ex- I
ceptionally large quantity has been used
under cotton. Large increases in its
use under corn, oats and wheat are re
ported. But few cotton seed have been
used this year in making compost, ow
ing to the high price they brought in
ti-e market. A greater per cent than
for any previous year has been sold
and in many instances fertilizers pur
chased to take their place.
CLOVER AND GRASSES.
The pasture and meadow lands through
the state are in a ^od condition
aud for hay the acreage has been in
creased aud other lands seeded in clover
and the grasses.
FRUIT.
It is gratifying to note that no serious
damage to the fruit crop has been re
ported except iu very limited areas, and
that the outlook is for another good
fruit year. A fair crop of apples aud
pears have set, aud peaches have almost
entirely escaped injury from frost.
The inte.est in fruit growing in the
state is increasing, and from the large
number of enquiries received at the de
partment, the horticulture of the state
is attracting the attention of those in
other states who are seeking a mild and
healthful climate, and wish to devote
themselves to this industry.
STOCK.
Sheep, wool stock, and stock hogs are
iu a better condition than at this time
last year. The reports showing an in
crease in the number of the latter on
baud. The high price of meat renders
it more imperative that the southern
farmer should raise his own supply.
He can then without detriment receive
a high price for cotton seed, the result
of high priced hog products.
LABOR. SUPPLIES, ETO.
No complaints are made of a scarcity
of labor and wages remain about the
same as last year. Iu a number of
counties a full supply of corn with corn
to sell is reported and a large percentage
comparatively of meat on hand.

Potato Etptrlgwnta.
At the West Virgin!* station trials
were made with potatoes on 10 plots of
wornout land with the object of deter
mining the effect of kainit used alone
end in combination with phosphoric add
and nitrogen and to teat the effects on
the yield of using different amounts of
seed cut to halves, quarters and single
eyes. Early Rose, White Star and Beau
ty of Hebron ware the varieties planted.
In each case whole potatoes, halves,
quarters and single eyes were planted.
Where superphosphate was used with
the kainit there was a marked increase
in the yield. The increase with nitrate
of soda was very smalL The smallest
profits were where kainit was used alone
and the larjest on the plots where kainit
was combined with superphosphate. In
the case of the White Star and Beauty
of Hebron the halves, quarters and sin
gle eyes produced decidedly more than
the whole potatoes. With Early Rose
the results were variable. With regard to
the number and vigor of the stalks from
different sized seted the director of the
station says:
We find that in all varieties the whole
potato produces a greater number and
more vigorous stalks than either the
halves, quarters or single eyes, and that
the general rule is a gradual diminution
of the number and vigor of the stalks aa
the size of the pieces planted diminishes
until we reach those cut to one eye in
each piece, when we find that the num
ber of the stalks is materially increased.
Of those cut to single eyes nearly all ger
minated. We farther find that the in
creased yield is not in proportion to the
increase of the number of stalks. From
these facte we infer that in the prepara
tion and planting of the seed to secure
the best remits the potato should be so
cut as to Fecure one strong, vigorous
•talk from each piece and planted so aa
to secure from three to four Stalks to
each hill. '
