“The one absolutely unselfish
friend that man can have in this
selfish world, the one that never

is bis dog. A man's dog stands

in health and in slckoess. He]
will sleep on the cold ground,
where the wintry winds blow and
the snow drives flercley, if only
he may be near bis master’s side.
He will kiss the nand that has
no food to offer; be will lick the
wounds and sores that come in

of his pauper master as if he
were a prince. When all other
friends desert, he remains.
When riches take wings and rep

constant in his love as the sun iu

“If fortune drives the master

COMMISSIONER’S TALK
Interesting Letter From Hon.
0. B. Stevens.
AS TO CROPS OP GEORGIA
Marked Improvement In Both Cotton
and Corn—Peach Crop Will Briny
|0,000,000 Into tho State of Georgia.
Each crop year has Its own peculiar
ities. and this is no exception. I#o*t
year corn and cotton were retarded
by cool weather, ralna and cool nlghta,
while this year they were retarded
over large areas by long-continued
drouth. Yet tho farmers of Oeorgta
raised paying crops last year, and we
trust that by the blessing of Qod they
will the same this year.
At tho time that we sent out letters
for information concerning the crop
conditions for our MayJuno report,
things did not look very promising, ex
cept for fruit Since then there has
been marked Improvement In both
cotton and corn, and the promise of
the best peach year ever known In
Georgia has boon fulfilled. . With
about $0,000,000 coming Into our State
from the peach orchards and the hope
of remunerative crops of corn and
cotton, even If they should happen to
fall below normal In production, our
farmers should take courage and labor
with renewed enorgy. Tho ravages
of Iho cotton boll woovll in certain
sections of Texas have nwjikenod con
siderable apprehension among tho
farmrs of the South. This post has
not yet cross«*d tho Mississippi, and it
Is to be hoped that tho measure* for
preventing its spread may prove suc
cessful.
The Georgia Department of Agricul
ture, the State Entomological Depart
ment, the Horticultural and Agricul
tural Societies held consultations nnd.
th coutcomo of thogo deliberations Is
tho legislation providing quarantine
regulation against the weevil. While
It behooves us to take every precau
tion against Us Introduction into our
fields, we feel assured that a remedy
against thla Insect will be discovered,
aa Has hen done In the case ot all pre
vious enemies of our crops.
Professor O. F. Cook, of the United
States Entomological Durean, has
been experimenting; with the Gusto,
malnn ant, which, he says, is the great
destroyer of the weevil and other ene
mies of cotton and Itaelf In no way
harmful U> crops. Of oourse. we aro
Inclined to look with suspicion upon
all such defenders, lest they prove as
groat a poet as the English Sparrow.
But, If tho Guatemalan ant It what
Profosaor Cook claims for It, then wo
can congratulate ourselvee that the
romedy has ben discovered.
Thore are some who claim that the
South can. by a more scientific sys
tem of cultivation, raise 15,00^000
bales of cotton each year, and*till
others say that within tbe present lim
its the South will some day raise 80,
000,000 bales. Whether these extrav
agant flugres shall ever be roached la
of little practical advantage lo/fs just
now.
Wo think we can congratulate our
selves that for several years at least
the supply will fall enough short of
the demand for our treat staple, to In*
•uro us remunerative prices and to
put the prosperity of Southern farm
ers on a permanent basis.
ft is difficult under present labor
conditions to see how our farmers aro
to Increase the production of cotton.
Perhaps It may bn done. If they can
draw away laborers, that have flocked
to the cities and towns. If they can
do this. It may be to the detriment of
manufacturing Interests. Will not In
tensive farming go far townrda tho so
lution of this problem?
Some contend that In Immigration
la found our best solution. Tho De
partment of Agriculture Is In favor of
progress and consider! tbe bringing
Into Georgia of a desirable class of
Immigrants a step in the right direc
tion. Hut what we want Is immigra
tion of Americans from other States
of tho Union, people who aro Imbued
with American idea* and a clear un
derstanding of them, so that the South
may continue to be, as In the pest,
the best example of true Americanism
In raco and In principles.
SUGAR CANS.
Encouraging reports come to us
about sugar care. We have Informa
tion‘that leads us to bcllovo that this
Industry is taking on new life In Geor
gia and encourages our hope that at
no distant day tho Empire Stato of the
South will take the rank that she Is
capable of holding as a sirup and su
gar producing State.
In order to bring this to pass It Is
not necessary to dveote a single acre
less to corn and cotton, the two lead-
ling staples of Georgia. We desire
to see our State hold even a higher
rank than now as a corn nnd cotton-
growing country, but we will also glad,
ly hall the day, when Georgia brings
her Sugnr Cure Crop to n valuation
v «t shall place It on a par with what
-r* now our principal wealth produces
la tbe fleld of agriculture.
During the decade endlbg with 1100
South Georgia outstripped the other
sections of the State In the Increase
of population. This ought to moan
much for the growth of tho sugar cant
crop, the larger part of which la raise*
la South Oeorgla.
OUR EXPERIMENT STATION.
The Experiment Station at Griffin
under the conduct of Hoq. R. J. Red*
ding and his energetic assistants, la
doing a good work for Oeorgla la
sending out valuable literature tbtough
our daily papers, as well M In the
great object lesson presented by the
well managed farm.
To the Influences of the Experiment
Station near Waycross under the mai^
agoraent of Professor Arthur Given,
of the United States Experiment Sta
tion Department, la due In a very
large measure the Increased Interest
In the cultivation of sugar cane all
over Southern Georgia.
RAI8E YOUR OWN SUPPLIES.
We have ho repeatedly given advice
about the beat methods of preparing
the soil and c Jfl\ sting various crops,
that we will not repeut them at this
time. But v.*o r -pent s; am the ad
vice that we have given over fttid over
and that we expect to continually of
fer. It Im this: Let all our farmers
raise their own supplies. No matter
how low the price of anything t.'-i
you purchase, it is not cheap, if you
can grow it yourself. Raise your
own corn, wheat, oata and hay, and
make on the farm food supplies for
man and beast. Have poultry, hogs,
mutton and beef raised at home, and
have milch cows enough to supply
your table with milk and butter. Then
you will reduce to the minimum the
articles that you will ho compelled to
purchase for table use. Your cotton
or sugar cane will then bo money
crops, giving you the ability to dress
well, Improve your dwellings, pur
chase tho best farm Implements and
koop the best of slock, besides laying
up for a rainy day.
OUTLOOK IS ENCOURAGING.
In view of progress already made
wo feel that we can congratulate tho
farmers of Goorgla as well as our
merchants nmi manufacturers, whose
success is largely based on that of
our agricultural classes, on the Im
proved conditions all over our State,
and the bright prospect of Increased
advancement by Georgia In population,
wealth and all that goes to nUke a
people groat and good.

SOMETHING MORE ABOUT QOOO
ROADS.
One of the gernt needs of every
fannor la a good country road on
which to haul hla produce to market.
Whore he possess thla convenience,
he can dispense with some of tbe
many horses or mules now absolutely
necessary for the hauling of hla wag
ons. which are subject to great wear
and tear when drawn over the mud
dy highways, eo common throughout
Oeorgla.
How to construct a good road la
the first problem to be solved and
how to keep tt In repair la a question
of equal Importance. Good roads can-
enot b constructed and maintained
by merely grading and draining the
surface of tbe ground. It la neces
sary to surface these roads with aome
durable material that will rnder them
proof against tbe mud and slush that
often prevail at tbe very seasons
when tho roads are most needed tor
the transportation of tho product of
fields and market gerdens.
Not only the farmer, but tha filer*
chant also suffers from bad country
roads or Is benefited by %ood, well
graded end thoroughly macadamised
highways.
Often even In rainy seasons there
are days when tbe people from the
rural districts would flock Into the
cities and crowd the stores, were It
not for the mud that make# travel
Inconvenient, If not impossible.
There Is In Georgia abundance of
good material for giving to a well
graded road a good, solid surface, so
strong that oven long continued end
hesvy ralna will not convert it into
mud.
When such n road has once been
built, then It Is necessary to keep it
In repair and maintain its solidity#
When n railroad company has con
structed a road after the most scien
tific method, of tbe beet of rail* nnd
ballasted it In the most porfect man
ner. It keeps a.permanent fore# of
road bends, with Inspectors for ev
ery section, and endeavors to keep
every foot of track In thorough order.
The same diligence Is needful to
tbe kooplng of the best constructed
country roed In good condition.
To do everything that Is necessary
both for the construction nnd proper
keeping of such a road, requires a
considerable outlay of money, but tho
t ultimate profit to the farmer and tho
merchant, the country and tho city,
will far exceed all that may havo
been expended.
Many of the counties of Georgia
are already blessed witc well built
and well maintained country roods*
and their number Is steadily Increas
ing.
Let the good work go on until
every county In Georgia can boast of
as good roads as those which are
the pride and comfort of both town
and country In th vicinity ot our
great dtits and some of oar largo
and rapidly growing towns.—-Georgia
