FOR THE GROWING OF
GRASS AND WEEDS.
FARIT WORK MUST BE RAPID
Commissioner of Agriculture Gives
Some Valuable Pointers to Farm
ers on Handling Crops.
Atlanta, Ga., May 1, 1900.
May is notoriously the month in which
the work of cultivating the general crops
begins, grass and weeds, as well as the
crops, will now spring up and grow, and
farm work must bo rapid and frequent
to destroy the former and stimulate the
latter. To this end we would advise
energy and skill in the cultivation for
the next 30 days if yon would manage
your crop with ease and satisfaction.
In Middle and North Georgia a large
part of the cotton area is yet to be
planted. This was caused by the late
spring and too much rain in the latter
part of March and April. This can be
largely remedied by putting forth our
best efforts in the field and judicious
use of wide sweeps and cultivators in
the cultivation of cotton and corn. If
your land LAs been properly prepared
before planting, you can use these wide
stretching implements to great advan
tage, the object being to break the crust
and stir the surface to the depth of 1 or
2 inches. In this way you can run over
your crops every 10 or 12 days so that
by July 1 the fields of the energetic and
faithful farmer will show little signs of
the late planting.
Watch the May grass and smother
and stifle it at birth or even before it
peeps through the surface of the earth.
Continue this process until June 1 and
yon will be master of the situation. If
you let the May grass get the start on
you, lay down the harrows and culti-
vators at once and take up your sweeps
or shovels; for the May grass must- be
conquered. 13o as much of your work
as possible with the horse and plow; for
“the man with the hoe” is a very costly
luxury, frequently doing as much harm
as good in the cotton field with a hoe.
Follow the plow at intervals of six or
seven days, that ho may not uncover the
grass so well covered by the plow.
“Blocking” out of cotton is labor lost.
Use your harrow until cotton is ready,
then cut to a stand at once and lay aside
the hoe as far as possible, as it is too ex
pensive. Cultivate your cotton fre
quently while young that it may be
pushed rapidly beyond the stage of
“Sore Shins” and darning insects. After
this period so work your cotton crop as
to keep it growing steadily, hut not too
fast.
During the next three months we may
expect dry weather and the wise farmer
therefore will do his best to keep the re
served moisture in the soil. To accom
plish this end, we advise flat culture.
High beds increase surface exposure and
thereby increase evaporation. We often
damage plants by throwing or piling too
much dirt around them. Let the sweeps
then be set flat and keep them so. An
other means of preserving moisture is
frequent and shallow cultivation of the
surface to prevent the formation of a
crust. This acts as mulch and keeps the
.soil beneath moist.
But after all that may be said, each
individual farmer must determine, with
all the lights before him, that which is
wisest and best to do for himself. He
must consult his own surroundings and
profit as best he may by his past experi
ences and resolve to act well his part
whatever others may do.
On account of the drouth that was
prevalent during last year, which pre
vented in some sections of Georgia the
production of grain and forage crops,
* and the extreme cold and wet spring
during this year, that prevented the
sowing of spring oats for feed, we advise
those who could not sow down their
lands and consequently would have to
purchase hay or other rough food for
their stock and cattle, that it is not too
late to prepare their laud for corn. A
splendid crop of corn can he produced
on upland planted as late as May 15,
and bottomland as late as June 15. Of
course these lands should be well pre
pared and manured, to insure a good re
turn for the labor expended. We ad
vise the use of the earlier varieties of
corn for field purposes, such as “Dent’s
Early White,” or “Dent’s Golden Pro
lific,” “Blount’s Prolific,” or such other
seed of early field corn, as may be best
suited for the various sections of our
state.
However, if you desire green forage
for the months of June, July and Au
gust it will he necessary to plant some
succulent plant that will produce nutri
ment in its green state for three mouths.
To do this, on small plats of laud and in
order that you can cut it three or four
times, then you must plant such crops
as will succor (that is, put forth new
shoots after being cut.) The best vari
eties are known as the “cattail” millet,
sorghum and Kafir corn. These differ
ent forage plants can be raised to a great
advantage both as green food and also
as forage for the winter purposes. The
land should be well broken and sub
soiled and highly manured in order to
procure the best results. The seed should
be sown in 3-foot drills and cultivated
rapidly. The mode of cultivation should
be the same as that of corn, using shal-

of animal life and hence require from
the land elements of plant food to de
velop such nutrition as will produce the
best results in forming these qualities of
animal life. It therefore behooves the
farmer to give such an amount of manu-
rial qualities and in such quanties as
will produce the highest results. When
this is done nature asserts itself and re
turns to the giver tenfold.
We also advise that German millet
can he sown broadcast or in drills for an
early hay crop, or if preferable you can
sow the “speckled” (or what is com
monly known as the “whippoorwill”) pea
to a great advantage. However, the last
two named plants can only be cut once.
They should be allowed to grow until
the heads of the millet and the pods of
the pea begin to ripen, then cut them
and cure for hay.
All of these plants will give good re
sults if planted upon good land, prop
erly manured, in proportion to the fer
tility and prepara tion of the same. Of
course meager manuring, bad prepara
tion and poor land gives poor results
and dissatisfaction.

SESAME CULTURE IN SOUTH.
New and Lucrative Crop for the
Planters.
My attention has recently been drawn
by a gentleman of this city to the plant
known as the sesame or benue plant. I
have been endeavoring to learn all about
it that I could in a limited space of time,
and take this opportunity of giving those
interested such results as I have been
able to obtain. I quote such facts as I
have been able to find in various works
of reference. The plant is valuable for
its leaves and its seed, particularly the
latter. The seed are small, hut full of an
excellent oil, known variously by the
names of oil of sesame or oil of benne or
gingelly or teel, principally, however, by
the name of oil of sesame. The plant is
grown largely in India for the sake of its
oil, which is pressed from the seed. The
oil is used largely for the same purposes
as olive oil, and though not so widely
known by name, is used for the same
purposes as olive oil, for cooking, for
eating and for pharmaceutical prepara
tions. The plant does not flourish in
Europe, hut it is commercially import
ant there, from one hundred to one hun
dred and seventy-five million pounds of
the seed are imported annually into
France. The seed are sweet and oleag
inous, the oil pressed from them is bland
and pleasant to the taste, and is far su
perior to all other oils in the length of
time it will keep sweet and pure, being
rarely ever known to turn rancid, being,
thus especially fitted for use in medicine
and as an article of food. In Egypt the
seed are eaten strewn on cakes and also
used in confectionery. The cake from
which the oil has been pressed, mixed
with honey and citron, is esteemed as an
oriental luxury. The oil is also much
used by the women of some eastern
countries as a cosmetic. The leaves
abound in a gummy substance which
they readily yield to water, making a
rich, bland mucilage, which is used by
the negroes of the southern portion of
the United States, who grow it in small
patches, as a demulcent medicinal drink,
the leaves aud seeds being similarly
used by the natives of India for medic
inal purposes. The United States De
partment of Agriculture writes me as fol
lows regarding the plant: “This plant
is of very easy cultivation in the warm
sections of the United States. It does
not succeed well north of Virginia.
Where it is cultivated at all, the methods
are much the same as for growing pea
nuts. The seeds are planted in warm
soil of medium texture aud fertility, and
the plants kept free from weeds through
out the summer. Even when left to take
care of itself in fence-rows or other out
of the way places, as is the common
practice among the colored people who
grow it, it yields fairly well.”
Now here is a new and valuable plant,
the growth of which in the south is uu
experiment, it having been grown here
for a number of years in. a shiftless,
careless way by a few darkeys. If intel
ligent, wide-awake farmers will take it
up, it may become a new source of
wealth to them and their section. The
oil is worth in Atlanta about 70 cents a
gallon, and the gentleman who first
brought the matter to my attention, but
who does not care to have his name
given, would be willing to pay that
price for about 6,000 gallons of the oil
per annum. With the production tho
demand would grow, aud it . is quite
probable that those who are enterprising
enough to take it up at once, would find
a good demand-for the first year’s crop
for planting purposes.
I have received the following kind let

A. B. C., Dear Sir—This subject of
beef, butter and milk production out of
Ike seed, hulls and meal of the cotton
plant is of such vast moment aud impor
tance to the southern farmer, to the en
richment, aggrandizement and financial
independence of this whole section that
I am not going to leave it yet at the risk
of wearying your patience. As cotton
seed meal aud hulls are not always read
ily proem-able by the farmer, and as it
may, under certain conditions, pay him
better to use cottonseed instead of hulls
and meal, as for instance where he has
a long haul, and when the mills, owing
to poor trade and demand lor oil, may
not he paying as good a price for seed
as their feeding value to the farmer calls
for, I will give you some rations for
feeding, using seed, instead of hulls and
meal for feeding, and recite some inter
esting experiments of the Mississippi
Experiment Station in regard thereto.
Two lots of four cows each were ta
ken, and lot No. 1 was fed this ration
for each cow: Peavine hay, 5 pounds;
silage, 20 pounds; wheat bran, 4 pounds;
cottonseed meal, 3 pounds. Lot No. 2
received as a ration for each cow, pea-
vine hay, 5 pounds; silage, 20 pounds;
wheat bran, 4 pounds and cottonseed, 16
pounds. The experiment lasted for four
weeks and at the end of that period lot
No. 1 had produced 1,237 pounds of
milk, aud lot No. 2 had produced 1,334
pounds of milk, also lot No. 1 had lost
20 pounds each in weight aud lot No. 2
had gained 12 pounds each in weight.
As a result of this experiment we see
that 6 pounds of whole cottonseed are
superior to 3 pounds of cottonseed meal
both as milk and flesh producers.
EXPERIMENT NO. 2.
The same cows were fed the following
rations: Lot No. 1, to each cow pea-
vine hay 5 pounds, silage 20 pounds,
wheat bran 4 pounds, cottonseed meal
pounds, and to lot No. 2 exactly the
same ration except that in place of the
meal 6 pounds of whole seed were
substituted. At the end of four weeks
lot No. 1 had produced 1,403 pounds of
milk, and lot No. 2, 1,395 pounds. The
result of this experiment indicated that
3}h pounds of meal are just about equal
to six pounds of seed.
EXPERIMENT NO. 3.
The same cows were fed the follow
ing rations: Lot No. 1 received for each
cow peavine hay 10 pounds, silage 15
pounds, wheat bran 2 pounds, corn aud
cob meal 6 pounds, and cottonseed 6
pounds. Lot No. 2 received for each
cow precisely the same ration except
that 4 pounds of cottonseed meal were
given in place of the cottonseed. At the
end of the period lot No. 1 had produced
1,302 pounds of milk, and lot No. 2 1,586
pounds, showing the 4 pounds of meal
to he decidedly superior to the 6 pounds
of seed. Summing up the following
conclusions may be drawn concerning
the rations: First, that 6 pounds of seed
are superior to 3 pounds of meal; second,
that 6 pounds of seed are about equal to
314 pounds of meal; third, that 6 pounds
of seed are not equaTto 4 pounds of meal;
fourth, that one pound of meal would
therefore be equal to 1.71 pounds of cot
ton seed.
The Mississippi station then continued
its valuable experiments comparing cot
tonseed and cottonseed meal with corn
and cob meal as milk producers. The
same quantities of peavine hay, silage
aud wheat bran were fed ao before, ex
cept that in these experiments cotton
seed was compared with corn and cob
meal in the first set of experiments and
in the second set cottonseed meal was
compared with corn and cob meal. With
out going into the minute details of the
experiments as before I will content my
self with giving the conclusions reached
by the station as a result of their work.
First, that the lot receiving the 6 pounds
of cottonseed gave a better yield of milk
than the one receiving 6 pounds of corn
aud cob meal. Second, the lot fed 6
pounds of cottonseed gave better results
than the one fed 8 pounds of oorn and
cob meal, aud also that 6 pounds of corn
aud cob meal gave just as much
milk, as did 8 of the same meal, In
the second set, of experiments comput
ing cottonseed meal with corn and
cob meal the following conclusions
were reached: First, that 3 pouuds of
cottonseed meal are equal to 6 pounds of
corn and cob meal; second, that 3 pounds
of cottonseed meal gave as satisfactory
yields of milk as 8 pounds of corn aud
cob meal, but the latter caused the cows
to fatten; third, 3.'.< pounds of cotton
seed meal are better than either 6 or 8
pounds of corn and cob meal in the dairy
ration.s used; fourth, that in a well bal
anced dairy ration 2 pounds of corn aud
cob meal are'about equal to 1 pound of
cottonseed meal. Summarizing, the fol
lowing conclusions were drawn:
First, that 1 pound of cottonseed is
equal to 1.17 pounds of corn and cob meal
or to 0.58 of a pound of cottonseed meal.
Second, that 1 pound of cottonseed
meal is equal to 1.71 pounds of cotton
seed, or to 2 pouuds of corn and cob
meal.
Third, that 1 pound of corn and cob
meal is equal to one-half pound of cotton
seed meal, or to 0.85 of a pound of cotton
seed.
The Mississippi station officer then
concludes as follows: “According to
these results, if corn is worth 40
cents per bushel or §14.28 a ton,
cottonseed should be worth 27.8 cents a
bushel, or §16.70, and cottonseed meal
$2S.56 a ton. If cottonseed are worth
10 cents a bushel or §6.00 a ton, corn
shonld be worth 9.1 cents a bushel or
§5.10 a ton, aud cottonseed meal should
be worth §10.26 a ton. When cottonseed
meal is worth §16.00 a ton cottonseed
should he worth 15.4 cents a bushel or
§9.28 a ton, and corn meal should be
worth 14.3 cents a bushel or §3.00 a ton.
Thus you see that the three conclusions
above are valuable to you because they
enable you to calculate for yourself
whether you can afford to feed corn at
all to your cattle, and from the above
figures it appears that you cannot afford
to do so at all at any price per bushel
that corn ever sells at in this section of
the country, because its feeding value is
so far below its money value when com
pared with the feeding value and money
value of cottonseed and cottonseed meal.
Conclusion Xo. 1 also enables you to
tell token you are getting a fair value for
your cottonseed. For instance, in today's
Constitution cottonseed meal is quoted at
$22 a ton in Atlanta. If cottonseed meal
is worth $22 then cottonseed should bring
21.2 cents per bushel at GO bushels to the
ton, for its feeding value as compared
with the feeding value of meal.
In (he light of these important facts it
strikes m' as being astonishing that no
experiments appear to have been made to
see whether horses and mules tcill not ea
cottonseed meal and cottonseed hulls, one
or both, and if not voluntarily, whether
they could be gradually trained to do so
bg miring them gradually, and by slowly
increasing degrees with corn and oats and
liag
I have been unable to find a record of
any such experiments if ever made, and
I am going to send a copy of this letter
to the Director of our Georgia Station
and beg him to make a test of the mat
ter at the Georgia Station. If it could
be done, even in part, it would have a
far-reaching effect in reducing our bill
to the west for corn and oats, and sub
stituting a far more efficient feed in its
nutritive value at a less cost. I will he
glad if you will write me if you have
ever tried to feed cottonseed meal or
hulls to your horses or mules.
Yours truly,
John M. McCandless,
State Chemist.
