There is nothing new to say of this
crop, which is now being housed Tak
ing the ontire stato, it is and nbtedly
the largest crop ever made within her
borders, it being a common thing to
hoar farmers from different sections sty
that "they have raised enough fora
two year’s supply." On account of tha
weevil, it liax Heretofore been impossi
ble to keep ooru iu good condition from
one yonf to another, in a Urge portion
of the state. If, however, ml that is
claimed for bisulphide of carbon, is
true, then this weevilpist can be fought
and conquered How to use this rem
edy is explained in answor ton ques
lieu iu this month’s "Talk,” and I
trust it will be generally tried by the
farmers of the statu. If one applica
tion dies not fully destroy the weevil,
fry a seooud iu four or five week*,
liou’t forget to avoid taking Are about
the crib for several da< s after a-iflg the

There will be plenty of potatoes,
though the crop is not so large os it
promised to be. earlier in the season.
The dry weather of the past tlfo months
has cut it off considerable, and -those
who planted late will make very few
potatoes.
Turnips are ulso short on account of
of the dry fail, for though the tops lok
wi-U in many cases, the roots ore very
small.
• STOCK
While there has been considerable
loss among hogs, in some/ouuties, the
number for killing is larger than for
many years past, and with the abun
dant c -11 crop, tuny will he heavier
th.m usual Many cattle have di-din
diff rent parts ot the state. Authrax.
or Back tongue has been reported from
Bmth Georgia ; on one dairy farm in
Cobb county, ?0 or more cows have died
from red water, while others have
bieu reported as dying from various
diseases in other parts of the state.
I have no donbt that many of these
deaths might bo traced to stagnated
•water, which on account of the very
dry fall, js apt to be fonurt iu most pas
tures. As soon as sickness appears
among bis cattle, the "owner should
oiiang, them to another pasture, where
lie is i-tira that they can get none but
pnro water, either from a running
stream or a well. In many oases this
Will stop the spread of the disease.
Question 5 —What can 1 do to pro-
Vent smut in wheat?
Al , Wnite county.
Anhwp.B 5 —This question is one of
much importance a* "here is consid
erable loss every year in the state,
from this oauso. In the first place,
always select your seed from wheat
that has fully ripened before barvost
lug.. This point ia frequently aogl*at>
ed, and the seed selected from grain
out only half ripe, thus inviting dis
sases of various kinds.
Previous to sowing make a strong 1
brine of salt and soft water, and in this
the grain should be washed for five
tmuutos, taking core to skim off the
light wheat and foreign seeds which
will float. Ropeat this washing iu an- |
other clean brine, and when taken out
b.lx thoroughly the wheat with one
twelfth its bulk of fresh pulverized
quick lime. This kills smut, cleans out
weeds from the grain, and promotes
ssrly, rapid growth. Von can of course
use the same brine over and over ugain. j
Now don’t say this is too much
trouble, and go ahead sowing weed i
seed, siuntty wlieAt etc. There is noth- I
ing to be had in this world without *
trouble and labor, and in this case the •
resulting beuefit more than compen
sate* for theritor given.
Another way to prevent smut in
wheat nnd oats, is to immerse die seed
for five ininnte* tu wirei- at a tempera
ture of 185 to 140 degrees. Dry before
sowing. Tins treatment seems to kill
all the stnuc germ*, without injuring
the vitality of the wheat. ,
Question 6 Shall l plant oat* now
or would it be butter to wait until alter
Christmas ? J. B.
Answer B—There is a difference of
opinion among farmers on this point,
many claiming that on account of the
danger of cold killing the crop it is bet
ter to wait until February bo ora plant
lug. Carrying oat thi* theory to its ul
timate conclusion, there would bo no
oat* planted until all danger of severe
oold was post Oats planted after
: Christmas undoubtedly yield well some
years, notably so this year, whou even
March sowing iu most oases made a good
crop But ns "one swallow does not
mako summer,” neither does the result
of quo year’s crop establish a precedent
by whloh we should be'guided. Oar
farmers have been iu suoh financial
straits for some year*, on account of the
low price of cotton, that as a rule they
oonld uot afford to run the risk of having
their oats killed, and the consequemoe
has been a general resort to spring
planting.
In my opinion this is a mistake. Oats
should, if possible, be plauted the last of
September or the first part of October,
and if put iu at that time with, a turn
plow on fair land they will not be killed'
more than one year in five, and thermal
of the four crops that escape the cold
will be much greater than the total of
five spring plauted crops. If the crop
oannot be put in at the right time, then
put It in as soon as you can, whether it
be in November or December, for as
most of our cold comes in January or
February, the o*U sowed in November
——; — - -.'ril lit”*"—. — a- ia - ■-
j pr Dec.-mber \4iil t>o older BiilJfetia*
j rooted and therefore harder
1 oats sown in January. ' fe.
Another point in favor of fall. Swing
is this: Should the first crop be willed,
a second sowing on the sam%ltwi (by
reason of the land being plowd® and
then thoroughly pulverized by twcold,
would probably result iu a icrofWsufil
ciently good to pay for the cost oflboth
sowings.
Another plan followed by some'- good
farmers is to put iu, during the talh half
the laud they intend t& sow, reserving
theotherhalfforspr.ngplanting There
are some advantages iu this plan, ffht on
the whole, I believe it is bast to sow oats
, iu this state about the first of October,
or as soon thereafter as is practicable. j
Question 7 —la z.'. jro any waj w
koop weevils out of corn ?
Answer 7—During many years of
planting iu southwest Georgia th" We
evils annually destroyed a large percent
age of the corn crop after it was put iu
the crib. AH tlio various remedies,'suoii
us salt water, walnut loaves, leaves of
the China tree, lime, etc., were tried,
without success. The daniugeV’was
greater some years than others, but
must have averaged quite 15 per Cent.
Now that tlio state, particularly tkiuta
Georgia, has housed a splendid jpom
crop, it is important to farmers to
know how to save it from the ravage* of
the weevil The bisulphide of oarbon,
properly applied, will destroy all wee
vils in the crib after the corn is hoased,
and it will then keep sound and- i 3*'*-
nutil used up.
The preventive is siniplg*apd easily
applied, and is better done after the •
corn is all put in the orib, than making
different applications after every tow
loads. If the orib is a tight one. one
pound of the bisulphide to every -fifty
bushels of corn will be sufficient. If
the orib is open—as most of our cribs ,
ore—a little more of the bisulphide will
be ueecssary.
The method of using the remedy is
very simp o, and merely consists of
pouring the substance over the top of
the pilo of corn, wliou the vapor from is
being heavier than air, sinks through
the grain, permeating the entire bulk
of corn, and killing all. or nearly all
the weevils iu the orib. This substance
is exceedingly iu flammable, and no fire
of any description, including a lighted
p pe or oigar, should be brought near it,
until all the odor of the bisulphide has
passed away. This will take place in a
very few days The only danger in
the use of this simp : e remedy against
the weevil, is the danger from fire,
which oan be readily guarded against
by ordinary oare. I trust that this pre
ventive will be largely used iu Georgia,
this season, and that it may prove en
tirely successful. It is so highly rec
ommended, and so strongly indorsed,
that, though I have had uo pi-nocical
experience with it, I am convinced that
if properly applied, it will protect earn
from the w-.evils, and every farmer in
the state, and jfirtionlnriy iu jfcouth
Georgia, knows whafrqi boon tl* will
be. The bisulphide oau lie obt-®od at
tho drugstores, which shpahfl V
to soil it at i'b to '-*5 cents a p iuixF The
department would he gla-l to loar of
(the result from farmers, that try thi*
plan. Don’t forget that the closer and
tighter the orib, the better the result.
