The Cotton Sit nation—Divert Awl Crops for Georgia, nml other .M-atter* of In. tercst uiul Importance. Department of ArmcuLTtrrcrc, Atlanta, Febrl, 1895. The painful lessor of the past year has taught us that there are c rc.un immutable laws of <ur calling which we cannot rrausgr s witifbut eventu ally paying ?l:o penalty. For years we have prasa ued on the almost unbound ed resources of oar section ami nave npparen y escape 1 some punishment, Lut the rimi has co u) whan we cannot huger evade the is-ae. And, however difficult the task may Li . we ma r, if we would prosper, he guide l by rhu- toaciiiu s of some agri cultural economy, and so regulate our business that no matter what the fluc tuations or depression of the cotton mancet, we arc at least secure of an iiulep u ieut no;:i.i living for ourselves and families. To enable us to take this position, it will become our duty, not only to study every thing in our reach pertaining to seia.itiiio and suc cessful agriculture, but to give our at teutiou also to many questions of po.iti c:il as well as agricultural economy. Of these the REDUCTION OF THE COTTON ACREAGE is just now perhaps the most important and the most pressing, because each farmer must decide in tne next few weeks, if he has not already done so, his individual responsibility in this matter. Many have realized the error of our profitless one crop and many acre system, and are laying tne founda tions broad and deep for a more inten sive and reasonable plan of farm man agement. But others are stiil hesita ting, the force of iiabit is strong, and they argue that if there is a general re duction of the area the price will be good, and it is so much easier to work on the accustomed lines than to venture on new and heretofore untried plans. It is to these snll unconvinced farmers that \ve jviil appeal for a careful con sideration of this question, not only as it may affect tnem individually, but as regards the general welfare of tneir state and section. We would not ne understood as advising them to run after new and untried crops, far from it. Tnere are already many which tno southern farmer understands and which, if he will give them the same care that he bestows on his cotton crop, will pay him a fair profit. The past year the profit on our individual hog crop was four or live times as large as that from our cotton and with far less expense and worry. Let us turn our attention to the profitable cultivation, not by the old, careless, indifferent methods, of 'corn, oats, forage crops, peas, potatoes, etc. Tue cueapness with which we can produce all food crops, for man and beast, and our superior climatic condi tions, should forever set at rest the question of homo supplies, of beef, mut ton, chickens, eggs, butter, lard, pork, etc. When wo accomplish this we have entered on a system of reasonable agri culture, by winch wo not only produce our cotton at less cost, but are return ing to our lands in the form of home manures the larger part ot the elements removed, and are a so laying the basis for chat steady adjustment of supply and demand, \yituout which there can be no profitable agriculture of any du ration. We have been sending vast sums to the north and west tor meat, bread, butter, cheese, forage clotnes, furniture, arm implements, horses, mules, wagons, buggies, and so on through a long list ot articles, for wuica we have the material facilities here at home, and whicii we could have raised and manufactured at less cost. Bit when the annua: cotton cropof Georgia was worth .rom ij>6O,OjO,OOJ to *60,00;),- 000 it was pos line to seud off for tness articles of every day u-e and still keep part of that large anl mat lor home cir culation.

At the is cent conv tiou of cotton growers, held in Jackson, Miss., the following appeal was made: “The gravity of the conditions con fronting tne cotton growers is recog nized. To wi it ex:cut this may be traced to financial legislation is useless to discuss. Tae overproduction of cot ton is recogmzad as one of the chief causes. Tuts must be corrected, or universal bankruptcy will follow. Self interest most impel the grower to a change. Every farmer is appealed to not to plant so much cotton A de crease of not less than 26 per cent is recommended; 60 per cent would be better. Tne farmers should be made self sustaining by planting peas, corn, potatoes, oats, etc , aud raising plenty of meat. The tide of immigration turned this way will change methods. Farmers are urged to form county or ganizations ali over the south to carry out these resolutions. Cold storage houses are commended wherever practicable. The committee promises better times and higher prices for cotton If its recommendations are observed.” On this subject S. M. Inman, of At lanta, high authority, says: “To be prosperous tne farmers of the south must raise less cotton than they are doing, the crop is entirely too large. The price has gone down and down and cannot reasonably be hoped ,to rise to FOR MADISON COUNTY ANI) THU DEMOCRATIC PARTY. MADISON COUNTY, GA..

This must come right speedily for the safety of the cot* ton planters of the south. It is as plojia a matter as two and two make foqr.

WORK FOR THE MONTH. The coid rams and snows have delay ed farm worse. But something has been done by wido awake farmers in the way or repairs, composting and clear ing land rea ly for the plow. February is the best month lor sowing spring oats; but they will not do well on poor, thin land. Tne soil should be good or else ma lu so by manures. The iarm should also be looked after, the tence m.ule good, rubbish cleared off, manure broad cast, and when the ground is ury enough, plowed in. If a a snbsoiler is run in each furrow, so much the better for a good crop of veg etables and immunity irom drouth ef fects. In the southern part of the state Irish potatoes, green peas, lettuce, rad isiie.s, cabbages, indeed, all thaJiartfier vegeiab.es, can now hi planted iu the open air an i the tenderer varieties in the hot bed or under glass. The lat car part of thj month is safer in the upper part of rh * state. Clover and grasses may also bo sown and whenever the ground is drv enough the regular field po.rng - .I'd go on.

ALL GLASSES SHOULD GO-OPERATB Clover Does as Well In Georgia an Our Na tive Grasse,—Georgia Has a Honauma lo Beriuuts Or as, Whlcl* Is Kqtial to the Best Hay in the Market* Advantage of Grass ami Clover Over Cotton. Wo have had discussion and argu ment and appeal and entreaty about the reduction of the cotton acreage Without avail, uuti.i we have seen the jggi&ffiw mwe Phtthu Huh the world can consume iii 18, -whiie’we furnish the crop to consum ers below cost of production. What we need notv is not so much theoretical discussions, but the record of what has .been done on the lines for au object lesson. Through these efforts we hope tb bring numoers of farmers into Geor gia who will, for instance, grow grass at a profit, so Georgia farmers may ao tuaiiy see how it is done. Wo need to grow upon tnose same larms wheat and oats ana other crops like tneni that de fmuid no other Work tmiu to seed ai save. Let us have less oottou au;l mo. j income. General Tomos once said and saia truly: “It tuxes 18 months in the year to grow cotton.” . It only taxes a few days to sow grass ) and a few nays to save it. Tne money invested is at a minimum. If grasses have as goo; sale as cotton there is an immense amount saved 111 its produc tion. Why not? It grows so vige ously in Georgia that it requires all the help in a neighborhood to kill it in June, July and Augu-t, Tne demand upon our fnrrris has been tho immense outlay of money nec essary to ruu tnew. • CLOVER. Clover does fully as well in Goorgia as our native grasses. Colonel George Scott, of tins city, grew IO.OjO pouiuls of well cured ohirer hay upou one acre in one season m cue adjoining county, DeKalb. Our lormer commissioner of agr.cultAre, Or. .lanes, grow" quite is muon upon ins farm iu Greene. Mr. Baxter saved about half this amount from au acre on ins larin iu H.uieoek During my four years’ ros.uonoe in this city I have seen niudr more nay carted -upon the streets than cotton. Grass seems to sen readily and for i .e cash. Thera can bj uj dnfiemiy abu tt *tho-tittle. I’ne utMsorcnn.i, uo.vovor, is the money lor die purchase goes o some other state au-1 does not remain in Georgia. BJCttJIUDA. Georgia has a bou.ui/. i, so to speak, in Bermuda grass, it i.s equal to i e best hay ni cue ui iruers. it is pere .- niai and requires no care or labor ex cept to save and cure. It grows in marvelous yield. Upon one acre iu Greene conucy there n.is be m saved 18,(lea poumts o: well cured Borinud t hay. Such atm admit and uroiitabie crops it will be wed tb encourage among our own farmers, and such others as we may induce la seiilo among us. But we will bo met promptly with the inquiry: “Suppose cverylioly abandons cotton and begins growing gras-.?" This is not at ml necessary. It would bo folly. We do lot need to a nindon cotton. Indeed, wo must not abauddti cotton, but keep it as our standard crop. Yet, as cue gras; grows by its -If, we can at least aifurd to fit it grow and save it if ir. will pay. It will bo lurcher objected by those who do not want to bo convinced, that there will, under this farm policy, soon be more grass upon tne market than the state need. If so, we can sell to other states, or better turn the grass into other products that will pay more money tnan ihe grass itself. Herein lies the difference between grass and cotton. Grass c.au be readily converted into many other marketable products. Cotton must lie always put upon the mancet by . anners as cotton. Meeting tail view, it will be the fur ther plan of this bureau to encourage such indus Ties as wiil utilize the possi ble surplus eras; tint ctuiiot find mar ket iu this state or else where. DAIRY FARMS. Why nor turn some of onr grass to money through dairy farms? I have no means of knowing how lpttcli butter and cheese are shipp.-d into this state from the outside. Tim figures giving the amount in money estimate of sale I am quite sure would bo simply enor mous. The state of Wiscomin has over 2,- 000 creameries. Tins bureau is now in troducing or "imories into Georgia. I am in correspondence with par.ies who arc building such industries in this state at moderate co-t. Wo now have creameries at Alpharetta just started up and just beginning at Elbertou—a few -already running at other places When we get th irn iu operation all over the state G orgia farmers will make standard butter and standard cheese, While they u:i ize many forces that are now wasted on die farm. This will 1)3 one profitable way to convert surplus grass into money. Hi .''ICSES AND MUTES. There is still more to come from the growl hof grass. Georgia now pays an average of * 010,000 annually for hor ses and mu s. It requires grass to make horses and mnl's Georgia grass ought to r.iis; ail the horses and mules the state needs, and raise them also for other states iha prefer to grow S cent cotton rutlr r than grass. This is es pecially trim, since the gras grows without care, labor or concern. MUTTON AND WOOL. Again, onr surplus grass will make mutton and wool. When onr farijiers get their com-eut to grow grass abun dantly wo will bee line the meat market of the continent and furnish to other states the beef, mutton and bacon that we now ourselves buy from die farmers who grow cattle, sheep and hogs under disadvantages to which our jyeople are absolutely strangers. The admirable report submitted by Hou. J. P. Brown, .chairman of the committee on agriculture from the house, has not received the considera tion at the hands of the press and the people that its sound common sense suggestion ; deserve Our people need to answer for themselves why they have allowed the great packing houses of this country to be located where cat \ tie suid sheep and hogs must have thousands of pounds of food to generate sufficient an mnl heat to keep them alive during the winter, when in Geor gia practically every pound of food consumed mukes its proper yield of flesh. We never can grow more grass in Georgia than wo can use at a profit. ! Nobody need to bo alarmed at the pros pect. If it jvere I might discuss poso. ■ VIA It is enough simply to call attention to our worn rful possibilities in fruit growing an truck farming. There is ; Slot truck arm in Georgia that can ! not grow e ough fruit, without any I special hindrance to the cotton crop, to ; furnish food and clothiug to the entire i family. In these crops we practically i huve no competition. These crops, in the states at tho north, are so much behind ours in ma turity and in reaching the markets, that we cau con trol prices and sell out be fore theirs come in. The first market ings of such crops always bring the bener prices, and we, therefore, hold the profits in our own hands. We have, for the same reason, the melon market of the continent. All we need to un derstand in this crop is the best way of handling ir. CANNING FACTORIES. Suppose there should be competition in fruits and vegetables; it can bo met by building canning faotofies and util izing the surplus by holding until tho markets demand the supply. The farmer who donbts the profit of this policy has only to step into any country store near him and learn the enormous amount of canned goods sold in this state —all of which came from the states outside. This bureau, representing the entire state, and being in position, therefore, to communicate with manufacturers, wiil always stand ready to furnish re liable information about these indus tries. Fruit growing in Georgia, like grass culture, caimot be overdone. KEEP OUR MONEY AT HOME. Above all those plans and others that I might discuss, if I could ask space., we need to do something to keep money in the state. Thiuk of it for a moment: If a citizen of Georgia wants u cheese, he must send to Wisconsin to buy it. Georgia money goes to Wisconsin, and there it stops and circulates iu Wiscon sin, while the cheese comes to Georgia and i.s consumed. If a Georgia farmer wants a mule he sends to Kentucky for the mule. The mule comes to Georgia but the money stays iu Kentucky and circulates in Kentucky. The farmer puts the mule into the hands of a thrift less tenant, who starves him in two years, and then the Georgia farmer sends more money to circulate in Ken tucky for another mule. If a farmer wants a side of bacon iiis money goes to Cincinnati and circulates in Ohio, and the bacon comes to Georgia and is consumed. Where i.s the difference to tho people of this state whether the government issues sf,o per capita or $lO, if we send all the Georgia per capita to other states to sustain industries that we might ourselves encourage, and thereby keep onr money circulating among ourselves. 1 More than that, the humblest negro in Georgia who wants to buy a cotton shirt, gathers his raw material, bales it, ships it to Massachusetts, has it con verted into cloth and returned to him at heavy cost—all this unnecessary ex pense before n negro can get a shirt. OUR PEIt CAPITA MONEY KENT ABROAD. Enumerate tho countless things our people buy from abroad, and then re member the single crop they grow to meet their purchases, and it is a matter of wonder that we have heretofore met these hard conditions. If we had a factory iu Georgia to manufacture trace chains, trace chain per capita would cir culate in Georgia. If we had a factory in Georgia to manufacture plow stocks, plow stock per capita would circulate in Georgia. If we had a factory in Geor gia to use onr hard woods in the manu : facture of wagons, chairs, bedsteads, I carriages, buggies and road carts a large ainonti t ot- per capita would stay and circulate in Georgia. If we have many great cotton factories to manu facture our r.i.v material what vast amounts of co*' <ir capita would re main in this nt t the business in terests of onr pn <p.e. Money goes and money stays, and money circulates only where there are business interests to demand and control it. Though the government might flood tho country with its issues, Georgia would be prac tically without currency until wo es tablish such business conditions as will control it. Herein lies very much of the wealth of the northern and eastern states, as well as the cause for the pov erty of the people at the south and West. The money of this country is con gested in the cast. No action of the government will ever bring it this way as long as tho present industrial rela tions remain. The time lias come when a change is positively demanded. Cotton has been, practically, onr only resource for money to make purchases. Its production now consumes all tho money it brings, and there is none left to r our needs. Thero is no reconro: now but change. It is not a matter of choice of personal di rection. it is a burning necessity. We must not- only change our crops and fill up our unoccupied lauds, but we must build all sorts and kinds of industries to utilize our -raw material; give employ ment to the thousands of unemployed, who will create wealth that will beaome permanent to the state.

I have been figuring lor two days on the busi ness of about a year and a half, and have here the figures of an avornge mouth's business. More than 75 per oent of tlie produce comes from other states than Georgia. Nearly all of the butter and eggs we handle come from east Tennessee. I calculate that in a month wo handle S4BO worth of chick ens ami S6OO worth of butter. Irish po tatoes are shipped to us from the north and east ami wo send away mouthly at least SOOI for that one item. Wo han dle but little butter, but most of it comes from Tennessee.

The money for them goes to the east. Tim swoet pota toes we handle wouldn’t exceed SIOO iu a mouth.” Mr. T. A. Murrav, of tho Southern Produce compilin', said that out of au average week's bushies t of nearly 90 por cent qf the articles sold came from outside the stut*. North Georgia supplied some butter and eggs. Vir ginia an l New Orleans held tho cab bage market, and east Tennessee had a ooruer on butter, except what was sold by the north Georgia farmers. “Warsaw, Tenn.,” said Mr. E. B. Stanley, one of the city’s best known commission men, “furnishes many At lanta merchants with butter aud eggs and chickens. This is a thriving town, to judge from its daily shinmoitts to tho commission men of Atlanta.” “My firm,” said Mr. Petty, of Petty Brothers, did a business last year of $8r>,()00. Nearly tho whole of it was in articles of country produce. Wo got butter from east Tennessee, from Cni cago and from the mountain counties of Georgia. Ye*, the Chicago batter is fairly good if we get it in time. It is creamery butter. Wo ship Irish pota toes from New York. Cabbage comes from Mobile, Ala., Louisiana and Vir ginia. Onions are shipped to us from Ohio. Georgia supplies ns with tur nips and sweet potatoes." Practically the same story is told by all of the commission men, Of course the aggregate amount of their monthly sales differ in amount, but their sales represent the same percentage of de mand for the products mentioned.
