CORN.
With one or two weeks more of sea
sonable weather in the northern part of
the state, Georgia will harvest the
largest corn crop ever made within her
borders.
In almost every county in the gtata
the crops is as good as the land caa
make. The only disasters have been
some local hailstorms,' and the over
flowing and destruction of some of tha
river and creek bottoms in different
sections during the latter part of June
and the first of July. In south and
southeast Georgia many farmers have
pat the land, from which the oat crop
was taken, into *‘Mezican Jane'* corn,
which at this time promises a good
yield. This is a very white corn, most
excellent for bread and hominy, and
much liked by the people of that part
of the state. This large corn crop,
flanked and supported as it is, by large
crops of hay, syrup, meat, fruits, etc.,
convinces me that Georgia farmers are
at last beginning to travel the road that
leads to prosperity, independence and
comfort.
Let ns continue nnd increase
efforts in this direction, striving harder
and harder each year to cut loose from
onr thraldom to cotton until we raise
everything that we consume within
own borders and thus achieve absolute
independence.
Corn and meat for sale, raised by
Georgia farmers, have ceased to be ob
jects of curiosity on the streets of
towns, and I hope by another year the
importation of these nrticles will have
entirely ceased.
COTTON.
There has been some gain in the con
dition of this crop since the last report,
though there is still much room far im
provement. The grass took such full
possession and snch strong hold daring
the late wet weather that it was with
difficulty overcome and killed, and in
many cases the stand of cotton was in
jured while getting rid of the grass.
Until the last few days there has been
too much rain for cotton, especially on
sandy lands, and some cases of ru«%
have been reported from south Georgia.
On the whole, from the present outlook,
I see no reason to change my opinion on
the probable output of this crop, via.:
three-quarters of last year’s yield.
OATS.
Oats have been harvested in fair or
der all over the state, and have 4 turned
out astonishingly well, considering how
late in the spring they were planted.
This most valuable food for all stock
should be planted much more largely.
The acreage should bo at least doubled,
and more pains should be taken in pre
paring the soil and plowing them in.
wheat.
The yield of wheat this year has not
been as satisfactory as was hoped for a
month ago. The thinning out of the
crop by the excessive cold of last winter
made itself apparent when the grain
was threshed out and measured. In
Can’t They?
Somebody objects to the bicycle be
cause it gives no opportunity for match
making between young people. The rid-
must attend strictly to business,
they say, and instead of gazing into
each other’s eyes must gaze grimly and
steadily forward at the road. In the
hard, glittering spokes and spikes of
the bicycle three can be no lodgment
for love.
It is really astonishing bow much
some people do not know. Even granting
that matchmaking is the chief end and
aim of the association of young men
and women together, which is by no
means the case, there is opportunity for
being as sloppily sentimental on bicycle
trips as anywhere else. Think of the
hieing away in a few minutes from the
busy haunts of men. Think of the fre
quent rests in the leafy shade, rests thht
become dangerously long, then longer,
till there is at length more rest than
riding.
No! It is plain that the novelist must
reconstruct his stage machinery. Where
the seashore, the moonlight stroll, the
corner in the shaded conservatory for
merly served his purpose, he must now
introduce the flying wheel, the rest
the shade or in the moonlight and the
attendant declaration. It is plain that
we shall very shortly have a great crop
of novels on the wheeL

If the Russian government had known
what a treasure mine Alaska was going
to proveto the United States, she would
have thought a long time before selling
it for $7,000,000. The newest surprises
from onr young territory concern the
gold finds there, which promise to be
far richer than was at first supposed.
The first 1895 shipment of gold from
the Yukon to the assay office at Helena
amounted to $55,000, and it is only the
promise of what will come when the
mines of precious metal are fully sur
veyed. No matter how cold it is up
there the ingenuity cf man will find a
way to thaw out the gold.
The prudence as well as the sense of
humor of one of the passengers in the
Lake Shore train that was held np by
robbers near Toledo cannot be too much
commended. He said he "did not go
outside to investigate, being satisfied
from what he heard that something was
going on."

The reports from the rice crops
very flattering, and there will be an
unusual amouut of upland rice raised
throughout the state. Many farmers,
besides supplying their own wants, will
have a surplus for sale. If small ric*
mills for cleaning the grain were put
up in every county of lower and middle
Georgia, it would lead to a large in
crease in the rice crop; many persons
being deterred from planting" on ac
count of having no mill for cleaning
rice within reach. A number of such
mills are in operation, and it is said
that they pay well.
HAY, MILLET, SORGHUM CANE, POTATOES.
These important, though minor crops,
are all doing well throughout the state,
with promise of excellent yield.
FIELD PEAS AND GROUND PEAS.
Tuese crops, upon which so much of
onr meat supply depends, have been
planted more largely than usual, and
at present the outlook is good for an
abundant yield of both.
FRUIT.
From Tybee to Tennessee the fruit
trees and vines in this state are bend
ing dowu with the'r loads of luscious
fruit, and the growers and railroads
are working night aud day to get some
of the crop to less favored sections.
Long train loads of watermelons, grapes
and peaches are daily going north on
fast schedules to supply the people of
the northern cities. The fruit industry
is a growing one, and would increase
more rapidly if the railroads conld give
lower rates of freight, which they prob
ably will do before another crop is
moved.
There are more canning and drying
public plants than ever before, while
every good wife in the state is busy
preserving, canning, drying and turn
ing into wine or vinegar ail the fruit
she can manage. In spite of this much
of the fruit crop will be fed to hogs or
go to waste.

fruits of every kind should all be saved.
The world wants onr canned or dried
fruits, and is willing to pay a fair prioe
for them; but we seem very indifferent
about the matter.
The prices for watermelons, peaches,
grapes, etc., are much lower than in
former years, and the profits of the
growers, therefore; will be much less
than usual.
STOCK.
With the exception of a few reports
of hog cholera, the condition of stock
is good all over the state, and with no
drawback this state will import but lit
tle meat next year. There is no reason
why we should import any. Georgia
should be a sellar of meat and not a
buyer, and I believe the day is near at
hand when snch will be the case. When;
raising her own meat and bread, and
manufacturing her own cotton crop in
her own mills, she will indeed and in
troth merit her name of "Empire State
