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.

The wot August injured those cropt | In south Georgia, but in ths middts and npp 'f P >rtions of the state, a large amount o* bright cleau fodder, nnd large quantities of peas, have been saved.

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.
