COTTON'.
Duriun tho past month rhecondirions
have not beeu favorable for cottou.
there Inis Linen an excess ot ruin in
nearly every portion of the state, caus
ing a good deal of rust on tlie gray
lands and on the red lands, inducing an
excessive growth of woed, without a
corresponding iucrease of bolls. Pick
ing has commenced iu lower aud Mid
die Georgia, aud will soon be general
all over the state. There is some little
complaint- of boll worms aud cater
pillars, but nothing serious ou that line
as yet.
Bearing in mind that the crop is at
least two weeks later than au average;
that t here .is a decrease of HO per cent iu
the use of fertilizers, and of Id to 30
per cent in acreage; that in some coun
ties a considerable acreage has beeu
abandoned on account of grass; in view
of all these conditions, the prospect for
tho cotton crop is the poorest we have
had ior years. The couditions from
this on must be unusually favorable, for
the crop of this state to reach three
fourths of last year’s production.
CORN.
■ The farmers of Georgia have good
roasou to be thankful for tho abundant
corn crop with they have been
blessed this year. , NoVor in the history
of the state lias such a corn crop been
made. Thousands of farmers will make
sufficient to Inst thorn for two years,
and just hero lud our danger: Any corn
offered for sale must bring a low pride,
for the crop is enormous all Over the
country. Finding little sale for corn,
many farmers may bo induced to plant
less next year, and largely increase
their cottou crops, thus bringing on the
condition of tilings front which we
have just emerged, vist., low priced cot
ton aud soaroonnd dear corn. Allow me
to raise a warning voice against thia
temptation. We have (gamed our
cipation from the western corn flel ie and
smokehouses; now let us maintain that
independence by redoubling our.exer
tions to make our farms self-sustnming.
Feed the corn to hogs and cattle and
poultry: feed more to your horses apd
mules, keeping them in such good con
dition that they will forget they were
ever half starved on western corn - We
can thus find use for all our corn, at
home, and improve and greatly increase
our stook of all kinds.
Fodder pulling is over in'the looker
half of the state, and well under way
in North Georgia Whilomuch fodder
was injured and some ruined by the
August rains, a good deal has benil
1 saved ill excellent condition, thus in
suring plenty of long forage for our
needs.
FRUIT.
The frnlt crop of the state, except ap
ples and late peaches, has been gather
and disposed of aud the pantries and
storerooms of our wives bear witness
to the abundance and variety of the
crop. This has beeu a phenomenal
year - for all kinds of fruit. Our
peaches stand at the head in all
the northern markets and have
made a reputation in so many cities
this year that this should insure for
them a ready sale at better prices in the
future. In peaches, at least,. Califor
nia has almost ceased to be a competi
tor against us, for though her poaches
are ns a rule larger and more showy,
they cannot compare in flavor, riohness
and juiciness with those we send to
market, and consumers are fast finding
this out. With lower rates of ireighc.
Which I believe we will have another
year, the fruitgrower has every cause
to be hopeful of future success.
FIELD FKAB
Farmers have planted more peas than
usual in all purts of the state, showing
that they are learning the value of the
pea as a rouovuter of the soil. There
will be a large crop gathered and ou
many fields hogs and other stock will
be turned to futteu.
GROUND PEAS, SUGAR CANE, SORGHUM.
Asa rule, these minor, though very
important crops, aro excellent through
out the state. Hero and there are
small dry spots, but on the whole these
crops promise well for a bountiful yield,
thus insuring an abundance of tine
syrup, ami iu very many cases, sugar,
to tile growers.
SWEET POTATOES
The snme well distributed rains that
have made such a bountiful corn crop
have also made a fine crop of potatoes
Asa rule, we are too careless in hous
ing this crop, and in consequence thous
ands of bushels are annually lost
They should bedug before frost and than
put up in such way as to keep dry during
winter. Potatoes can.be fed with ad
.vantage to all,farm stook, besides being
a very palatable and healthy food for
. man. and more cure should be exer
cised iu putting them up for winter use.
, Mir,LET, CI/OVKR, ETC.
The August rains have somewhat In
terfered with the saving of these crops,
but on the whole, the amount saved in
good order has beeu more than an
average.
HICII
The harvesting of this crop is now in
progress, and with no disaster from
storms, the crop will be a good one. I
reiterate what 1 wrote last month, that
the erection of smttll mills throughout
the middle and southern sections of the
state would very much encourage the
planting of this grain. The difficulty of
getting it properly cleaned deters many
farmers from plan ti ng it.
STOCK.
The condition of stock throughout
the state is fair; some few cases of hog
cholera reported and one or two oases
of supposed glanders among horses.
With our bountiful provision crops,
there should bo no poor animals within
our borders. Our horses and mnlo*
render their full assistance in making
our crops and they certainly deserve to
be comfortably housed and well fed.
