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- L . plows it a order to give ih - plant the benefit of tl io feed ro< ots that tire more or less near the stirfiu of the earth. To cut these rn. Us only rt dards the growth and the gat lering in of the elements of plant food which ai ■e contained in the soil by turn :• and ax “ificiai manuring. Let it be n . -rVid that all succulent plants av • v ,-y ca;ui ive to the land, as they are j r > i i wrs of fat and muscle DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, The famous little Dills. 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. O. B. Stevens, Commissioner. can be placed at the disposal of your cor respondents. Very truly yours, Jared G. Smith, In charge Division Botany. The time remaining for planting is short. Send in your names and I will have the seed sent to the addresses of as many as possible, with the earnest re quest that they sow them as soon as practicable after receipt and cultivate carefully, and report on same.

BEEF, BUTTER AND ffiK ITS PRODUCTION IS OF VAST IM PORTANCE TO SOUTH ERN FARMERS. 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 ter from the United States Departmeui of Agriculture: Washington, April 16th. 1900. Professor John M. McCandless, Depart ment of Agriculture, Atlanta, Ga.: Dear Sir—In accordance with youri of April 12th, I have mailed you a pack age of sesame seed. We have about 40 pint packages of this seed imported from Tashkent, Russian Turkestan, aud these A VERY INTERESTING TOPIC. The Agricultural Department Gives Further Information on the Feeding of Cattle. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve Cures Piles. Scalds, Burns- 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.
