MERRY MAKERS.
riiig Will be the Largest Free Exercises
Ever Given in Augusta.
The greatest thing for the benefit
of Augusta and the Savannah river
valley is the Savannah River Yal
ley Convention which wii! be held
in this city ou April 20lh during
Merry Makers’ week.
The leading citizens of Richmond
county realizing the necessity of
improving the Savannah river
channel have subscribed sufficient
ly to entertain a convention of rep
■•esentative citizens of the counties
through which the river ruus
Georgia and South Carolina and
have invited quite a large number
of these citizens to meet with them
on the above mentioned date whei.
a permanenfSavannah River lm
provement J ssociation will be or
ganized aud the good work will
commence immediately and will be
rapidly pushed.
It ta true, $250,000 have been ap
propriated for lire improvement ol
this river, but this money is to be
expended at about $50,000 yearly,
in this way effecting absolutely no
good. What is needed is for $250,-
000 to be spent as last as the work
can be properly done and then
spend $50,000 annually in repairs.
If the Savannah river, which is
the seventh longest in the United
States, should be put in such con-
Jiuon as to allow large river steam
ers to piy her waters between here
aud Sayannah, the railroads would
necessarily reduce their rates even
it ttie boats were not being run, the-
ciiannel would be there. The rail
roads are fast gaining a monopoly
iu this section ot the country and
when they do gain their goai why
what will become of the small mer
chants? The prospects for the fu
ture are very grievous in (his re
spect and ail that is necessary to
check them is the endorsement by
the people of this organization. No
-joney is asked for. All that is de
sired is your endorsement of this
move and your presence at the con
vention. At tbe first meeting of the
Association the officers will be
elected and a committee chosen to
go before congress and ask lor our
rights.
While the citizens of Augusta are
agitating this cause, It should be
clearly understood that the benefits
derived are mutual and the small
est town iu the (Savannah river val
ley wiii be benefited proportional
ly as wiii Augusta and Augustaus.
A large number of delegates for
this convention will be invited but
let all those interested in this move
come. Railroad rates will be unus
ually low as the convention will be
held during Merry Maker’s week
when every one within many miles
of Augusta will be present.
No body of men were ever buster
than are the Merry Makers. Every
possible want or desire of the peo
ple will be granted and not a stone
will be unturned lor the pleasure ol
ho thousands of visitors that will
flock into Augusta that week. The
largest crowd that was ever seen
in Augusta is looked for on thio oc
casion aud well they might come
tor never before has such a show
been given in tbe history of the
South. The attractions this year
are beyond comparison. Neither
pains nor money will be spared to
make the attractions superb.
Industrial Day.
The following letter was receiv
ed :
“735 Broad Street, Augusta, Ga.,
March loth, 1‘JUO.—To the Merry
Makers Association—Gentlemen:
“By request of your committee ot
conlerence with the trades unions
(Augusta Federation of Trades), we
Deg to make the following:
“The trades unions of Augusta
right loyally endorse the action ot
the Merry Makers’ Association is
setting apart one day as “Industrial
Day,” and cheerfully pledge them
selves to participate in the parade
with banners, flags and badges, and
urge upon their friends to assist in
making the day worthy of the occa
sion: and request that your honora
ble body have that day declared a
noliday among tne manufactures ol
Augusta aud invite and specially
request them to represent their va
rious callings on floats, illustrating
aud teaching objectively the source
of Augusta’s wealth, to-wit: “In
dustry.” (Signed), “Andrew Mul-
cay, Chairman of Committee of Au
gusta Federation of Trades.” ”
This means that every worKing
man, woman and child in the vicin
ity of Augusta will turn out in the
largest parade ever witnessed in
the South.
The committee from the Merry
Makers have met with wonderful
success and all the mill authorities
have bignifled their intention and

many will furnish handsome floats. n _

THE RIBBON CANE.
A. Great Crop Ii Only For Family Use,
Says a Texas Farmer.
This is one of the great crops of the
south, yet it is not raised as much as it
ought to be. Persons living in the part
of the south where this cane will grow
ought to raise it By all means, if it is
only a small crop for family use, to
make sirup or molasses, it pays in
some places to raise this cane, for the
stalks sell for 2(5 cents a piece at
many of the towns through the coun
try. It should be one of the main
crops, as the sirup is always iu demand
at a good price. As to yielding, it
hardly ever fails, aud you do not have
your sirup to buy. It is one of the
staple articles-for sale at the stores.
At the time when it is ripe you will
see it for sale at the store at 5 cents
per stalk, for it is nice to eat. The
cane takes the place of candy and is
much better flavor. Many prefer it to
candy and other sweets. This will
pay a farmer if he is where there are
not many raising it. As to the sirup, it
turns out much more than the sor
ghum and is much nicer. Plaut early
in the spring by laying the canes down
in the furrows, which are 3)4 feet
apart. Cover with the plow or hoe,
whichever you please. Keep it clean
with the plow and hoe when it comes
up. Work it until it is too large to
plow. Keep the weeds and grass from
taking it, as it is, when it first comes
up, a very tender plant. It will not
bear much dirt, but plow just as close
as you can to it. so as to clean it. You
will find that you will have to use the
hoe somewhat to keep it clean. Get an
evaporator and make your own sirup
or molasses and some for your neigh
bors when you cannot do anything
else, writes a Texas farmer to The
Southern Cultivator.

A Remarkably
Strong Love Story
Commercial Fertilizer anil Potatoes.
The Virginia station draws the fol
lowing conclusions from experiments
with commercial fertilizers for pota
toes:
First—That potatoes grown without
fertilizers contain the greatest amount
of dry matter. The addition of fer
tilizers tends to diminish the dry mat
ter, and also as the quantity of fer
tilizer used is increased the amount of
dry matter is diminished.
Second.—Potatoes grown where sul
phate of potash was used contain more
dry matter than those where muriate
was used.
Third.—The ash .is not affected to
any very appreciable extent. Fertili
zers tend slightly to increase it.
Fourth.—Very little effect is produced
on the starch by fertilizers, their tend
ency being to increase rather than to
diminish it.
Fifth—Potatoes grown with muriate
of potash contain less dry matter but
slightly more starch than those grown
with sulphate of potash.
Sixth.—Neither the kind nor amount
of fertilizer has any appreciable effect
on the percentage of nitrogen, phos
phoric acid and potash contained in
potatoes.
Seventh.—The percentage of chlorine
is considerably increased when muriate
of potash is used, aud the more muri
ate used the higher the percentage of
chlorine.
Missouri Orchards.
Following is in substance advice from
the president of the Missouri Horti
cultural society, given at a recent in
stitute: The proper selection of varie
ties is very important. The Ben Davis
is the leading commercial apple for
this section. Eighty per cent may be
planted of this. The remaining 20
per cent may be divided between the
Jonathan, Winesap, Missouri Pippin
and Gano. Head the trees quite low
and prune sparingly. The eastern
practice of giving the tree an open
head will be fatal here. Our bright
sunshine and hot summers will sun-
scald the limbs.
Tea Growing to the Fore Again.
The problem of raising tea in the
southern part of the United States has
been discussed for many years. The
growing of tea on the Piuehurst es
tate at Summerville, S. C., began about
ten years ago, and tfte crop for the
season of 1899 amounted to nearly
3,000 pounds. Now over 50 acres are
planted- in tea. When the plants ar
rive at full bearing, the yield should
be at least 10,000 pounds. Dr. Shep
ard, who is in charge of the experi
ments at Piuehurst, has prepared a re
port for the department of agriculture.
The report states that, from the re
sults obtained on the Piuehurst planta
tion. it seems probable that the culti
vation of tea can be made profitable in
tbe warmer portions of tlie United
States in two ways. One is by estab
lishing a plantation with capital suffi
cient to carry the work to a point
where the product can be offered ou
equal terms with teas holding an es
tablished place in the markets of the
United States. The other is to grow
tea for home use in the farm garden.
Iu either ease tea growing can be un
dertaken safely only where the tem
perature rarely goes below zero and
where a liberal supply of water can
be depended upon. Irrigation should,
where possible, be provided for in
growing tea.
Handling Corn Fodder.
No other grain is so well adapted to
the requirements of the cattle feeder
as cheap corn, and for roughness there
are few feeds equal to corn fodder. A
Kansas man says in the Ohio Farmer
that in preparing the corn crop for
feeding cattle the common small grain
thrasher has been used with good suc-
FEED RACK FOR SHREDDED FODDER.
cess. The shredded fodder as it comes
from the machine is run directly into
a pen or rack right in the feed yard
and large enough, as a rule, to hold at
least a day’s thrashing, say 1G by 24
or 1G by 32 feet. A sort of manger is
made around the rack, into which the
fodder passes through an opening at
the bottom of the rack, as illustrated.
Horrible Criin -i In Carolina.
Jefferson, S. C., March hi.—The
half charred remains of CUssie Brown,
a woman of bad repnts, have been
found in the woods. There was evi
dence that she had been murdered.
Harvey Jackson, John Jacason, J. T.
Steen and Ben Jackson, all white men,
are in jail as snspects.
Brief Jlentlon.
A Louisiana truck grower says green
onions or shallots, fall planted on high
ly enriched ground, will be found re
munerative. Tbe greatest expense is
bunching the crop.
An early seed bed for tobacco should
be situated on lands sloping from north
to south, protected on the uorth by for
ests aud open on the south to let in the
midday sun. It is safer to protect these
early beds by covering them with
cheesecloth stretched on frames made
around and over tbe beds.
It has been suggested that in saving
seed corn tbe selected ear be neither
husked uor separated from the stalk
on which it grew, but the stalk and the
unhusked ear be bung up iu a dry
place until the planting season shall
have come round. The claim is that
seed so kept has greater vitality and
produces more vigorous plants.
A great claim made for Angora goats
is not only that they will live and
flourish where sheep would starve, but
they will browse and clear up worth
less brush land which would otherwise
remain untilled for years.
“Farmers, grow you? own seed and
select them with care. Many men
have grown rich by doing this. Young
man, are you bunting a profitable posi
tion? Then get a farm and make it a
seed farm. There are money, pleasure
and independence along this line,” ad
vises The Southern Cultivator.
Owing to the comparatively Inexpen
sive character of tbe materials used in
damp smudge fires they seem the best
adapted for common use in frost pro
tection for orchards, vineyards and
gardens.
