GEORGIA CROP REPORT
Commisiloner Stevens Inter
eating Talk Resumed.
DEPARTMENT HAS BUSY TIME
Thousands of Copies of the New Book,
“Georgia: Industrial and Historical,"
Have Been Distributed—Some Perth
nent Questions Answered.
Agriculture, Atlanta,
copal convention which meets in
Department of
April 1, 1902.
Several months have passed since a
monthly talk has gone out from thla
department, but so heavy has been the
correspondence, not only from our own
state, but also from every section of
the Union, that the commissioner has
been compelled to assist the clerical
force of the department In answering
the floods of letters that have poured
In. The ordinary business of the office
had also to be attended to. Thousands
of copies of the usual annual bulletin
have been and are still being distrib
uted. Desides these, more than 15,000
district maps of Oeorgla have been
scattered throughout our own and
other states, aud many thousands of
the new book, “Oeorgla: Historical and
Industrial," have been Bent into every
county of eur state, as well as to pub
lic libraries and Individuals who have
written for It from every state In the
Union and from foreign countries, one
capy having been sent to a gentleman
who wrote for It from Natal, South
Africa.
The following letter, recoived a day
or two ago, Is very similar to many
others that the daily mail brings to
thf# office;
“My Dear 81r: I beg to acknowl
edge the receipt of your valuable book,
'Georgia: Historical and Industrial.'
While I have not read It near as care
fully at 1 will, I have read it suffi
ciently to pronounce It a gem, and
must say it will surely draw a crowd,
If It Is circulated enough. I wish
there were 10,000 copies distributed
In the Northwest, so that homeseek-
ers and Investors could see what we
have to offer. I have lived In Georgia
only five years, having come from
western Indiana, but I must say there
are more opportunities here than any
where else I know of for men of small
means. Land is cheap and Is easily
cleared; timber is plentiful to build
and fence with, and the soil Is as pro
ductive as that of most of the land
In the north. (I am speaking of South
Georgia, for that is all I am personally
acquainted with,) What is needed
moat here la to rotate crops, as they
have to do in the Middle States, except
that here we will use peas and velvet
beans In place of clover, and the peas
are Just as good as clover and the
beans superior to It Follow beans
with corn; follow corn with oats; fol
low with peas the same season; follow
peas with cotton; then beans again,
and If that doesn't break the guano
business It will make It look mighty
pale. Then Intensify, diversify and In
tensify, and your bank account will
multiply. You will see, I have wan
dered from the subject. But I love
farming so well and am In such a
good place and have such a nice farm
that 1 can’t refrain from giving It a
word.
"Thanking you for the book and
wishing you auccess, I remain, your
bumble servant,
“A. J. BEVER.
'Douglas, Coffee Co., Ga.
'P. S.—I know not what will be my
future fate; but I think I’ll live and
die In the Empire State.—A. J. D."
We feel aure that our readers will
pardon us for publishing this letter In
full, on account of its many excellent
bints to farmers.
A letter front Mr. E. 3. Townc, 81
Ashland boulevard, Chicago, HI., re
ceived March 6. says: "I have examtn-
the new book. 'Georgia: Historical
and Industrial.' which you kindly sent
me, and find It a handsome volume of
fine paper and print, voluminous, but
without a dull page, embellished with
a profusion of pictures and many line
colored plates.
“I congratulate you on your success
and believe It will help much In pro
moting Georgia’s welfare. I am show
ing It with pleasure to my friends.
“After studying all the land and Im
migration schcfmes of the different
states from California to New Jersey
and Brltlih America to the Gulf, I be
lieve Georgia la the best, all things
considered, and my land is not for
•ale unless at fancy pricqs."
Another letter was received a few
and return this letter to us:
"1. What, in your opinion, is the Im
mediate need of the farmer and his
family In the matter of moral, intel
lectual and social betterment?
“2. Should such a work be begun as
the secretary suggests, by providing
practical training for the future wives
of the farmers In the direction of edu
cation as to sanitation, cocking and
the rational practice of the arts of
home?
"May we not hear from you, if only
la a few words?"
In answer, we would say, not only
to the writer of this letter, but also to
all the fanners of Georgia, the moral,
intellectual and social betterment of
our rural population will be insured
not only by attendance at the stated
times upon the house of God and send
ing the children to the dally schools,
but also by haring in every home a
library of choice, attractive books by
the best authors, written in a style to
catch and hol^ the attention of the
young, and by surrounding the home
with everything that helps to make It
truly the dearest spot on earth. No
matter how limited one’s means may
be, the hubleat home may be made
pleasant by the practice of neatness,
and nature herself supplies with beau
tiful flowers and shrubs the materials
for adornment of the house and
grounds, which, with proper care, will
lend such charm to the place that all
through life the children therein rear
ed will find in their own hearts a re
sponse to the words of the poet:
"Be it ever so humble, there is no
place like home.”
Again, not only the future wives of
the farmers should be carefully train
ed in the art of healthful cooking, but
the boys as well as the girls should
he thoroughly educated as to sanita
tion and the practices of all the vir
tues and arts that make a happy home.
Mr. C. H. Beazly, in a recent news
paper article on "The Farm Versus
Other Lines of Business,” says there
are fewer failures In farming than In
any other known line of business. He
thinks, too, that the growth qf trusts
will, by throwing many out of employ,
ment, cause lands that are now shun
ned by so many to ho tilled, and that
In spite of the odiousness of the trusts
there is in this fact a gleam of good
to come.
If through the operation of the
trusts many shall be induced to return
to the farms, then will the cause oI
agriculture "pluck from the nettle dan
ger the flower safety."
In concluding this talk, may I be
pardoned for alluding once more to
our new book? I say our, for not only
did I work unremittingly to secure the
necessary Information, but Mr. R. F.
Wright, my indefatigable assistant,
and Professor J. T. Derry, the well
known Georgia writer, worked diligent
ly and carefully upon Its preparation.
This volume is being distributed wide
ly throughout our state. It has been
our aim to place it in every college
library and In the libraries of the lead
ing schools of Georgia, in both town
and country, so that the great mass
of our people may have access to the
large fund of information therein con
tained. Here let me say that on page
921 the omission of a figure In the
second Item of the manufactures of
the state makes the capital invested in
these Industries to appear as $8,789,
658. It should be $89,789,650. The er
ror Is apparent to one who reads the
whole page. Let every one who has a
copy of this work cut this correction
out and pgjte It on the blank space
on page 920.
Those who write for our book need
not be discouraged if there occurs a
delay of several days. Their time will
come.

Agricultural Progress In the South.
Secretary Wilson, of the. United
States department of agriculture, In
a survey of agricultural progress In
tho south In the ssme publication,
urgfes a greater average yield per acre
than a greater acreage of cotton, the
return, as far as possible, to the soil
nf the fertilising Ingredients of cotton
Beed and greater attention to live
stock Industries, and he adds: "I be
lieve that the south will not much
longer be known and thoqght of prl
mnrijy as the ’land o' cotton,' but as
a great and prosperous region of va
ried agricultural Industries. With the
great Industrial progress of the south
ern states nnd the development ol
their wonderful mineral and manufac.
turtng resources comes the best of all
markets for the farmer—the great
home market. More and more I hope
to see the agriculture of the south di
versified as this great home market
expands. Let the cotton crop continue
to Increase in total production, but
let Its growth be rather by a higher
average per acre than by a very large
extension ot the area under this crop.
Let southern farmers keep the plant
food at home and send the product
of the farm to market In the form ol
manufactured articles (manufactured
on the farm by nature's processes)
rather than la the form of raw mate
r!a!. Let them grade up their flocks
aud herds and keep many more of all
kinds of domestic animals. Let them
renovate th> soil by the use of legumes
and save all the fertilising material
that the farm Itaelf produces. Then
will the akriculture of the south show
In the census to be taken In 1910 ad
vances greater by far than even the
great progress made lb the last twan
ty years of her history,"
The course ot the south la onward
and upward. Let It be the ambition

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cur® deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube Is In
flamed yon have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and w hen it is en
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con
dition, hearing wilt be destroyed forever;
nine cases ont of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
