you eun raise your rice cheaper thau
you can buy it, and every farmer iit
Georgia should by all moans do so.
Aliy land that wilt make cotton or corn
will make nee. but it is preferable to

cured. .
Answer.—Glanders is a contagions,
incurable diseuse, known in every coun
try, upd equally as fatal to man as to
horses and mules. Several cases have
been reported to this department duriug
the past mouth, and whenever the
symptoms described seemed to indicates
glanders, I have sent a veterinary sur

bands of Gypsies that pass through
the state. Some cases reported this
spring may be traced to one of those

ers, who. nodonbt, scattered the disease
along their entire route through the
state. 1 append the report of one case
to which I sent a veterinary surgeon.—

year with the later plantings. Manv
of the plants seemed to wither and fail j
over, the stem did not seem strong
enough to support the weight of the;
leaves, and other* failed to head.
Answer.—Presupposing that you
have Tour lauq thoroughly and deeply
prepared and heavily unimu'eA with
some highly awmoniutod fertilizer, we
would advise that you delay setting ont
the plants uutil the latter part of July,
If the crop is intended for winter cab
bages—if for fall cabbages, the plant
ings of course must he earlier. Lay off
the beds from 2>J to 3 feet and set the
plants about 18 inches or 2 feet iu th(J
row Judging from your question, we
suppose your mistake was in not set
ting * your plants d< ep. rnoui/K. No maty
ter how lung the stem may be, the*
plants-should be buried up to the first
leaf and the soil formed around them.
If everything else is iu readiness and
the ground is not unusually dry, we
have succeeded very well iu starting the
plunts without, a min by opeuing the
hoi as with a pointed stick, pouring iu
wuteb, putting the plants in up to the
leaf, pressing the wet dirt to the roots
and covering with the dry. In previ
ous articles on this subject, we have
called ,attention to the fact that cab
bages cannot be ruised profitably on
.poor land, nor can sucli land be put in
' proper condition for such a crop in one
years’ time. Well decomposed stable
manure, broadcast- heavily and thor
oughly mixed with the soil, is a good
preparation; a heavy crop of cow peas
is also a firstclass forerunner. The cul
tivation should be rapid and complete.

The ••Fall Web worm.”
Question.—There is a multitude of
catorpillars.covered with yellowish hair,
with black heads and two roWs of black.
marks on their bodies, now eating the
leaves on one of my shade trees. Can
you tell me what they are called, and
give me some remedy for getting rid of
them?
Answer. —From your description, the
insect is the “Fall Webworm,” found in
all parts of the United States. The worms
are hatched from eggs of a white moth,
which deposits them in the early sum
mer on the leaves of various trees, AX
soou as hatched the worms begin tp eat
the foliage, and at the same time com
mence to spin a protective web. They
grow quite rapidly, eating all of the fo*|
iage, except the network of veins in the
leaves, and as they grow they enlarge
the web. By the time > they are full*'
grown, the caterpillars are over an inch ]
long and covered with yellowish hairs.
When growu they crawl to the ground,
where iu some sheltered nook, or just;;
under the surface of the ground, they
enclose themselves iu a slight cocoon, in
which they change to the chrysalis state,
aud from which, later on, they emerge :
as pretty white moths, which begiu M l

Cottonseed Fslllug to t'sifs Up.
Question.— Can you explain to me
why I fulled to get a good staud from
cottonseed that. I know to be good—as
seed from the same lot germinated all
right ut other places ? I was very care
ful iii the preparation and planting -if
niy laud and thoroughly rolled the seed
in.as much guano anti kaiuit as would
stick to them, theu put thenrin with.a
planter allowing a full amount of seed
to secuie a good stand?
Answer.—lf you examined your seed,
m t ou probably did, when they failed
’to come up, you doubtless discovered
that they had spren/ted, but that the
sprouts were destroyeil after starting
into growth, and we attribute this to
the seed, of which the kaiuit is largely
composed. As long as the seed '*ere in
the hull the germ was protected against
the effects of the suit, but as soon as the,
sprout burst forth, it came in contact
with the salt, which caused it to Wither
aud die. If yoti had rolled your seed in
the fertilizer without the additional
kaiuit, their vigorous gerniiimtion
would have been uesutml The seed
themselves contain a small R„<>re of each
pvjiicipal element ot plant tood. enough
to start them into healthy growth, and
if when this is exhausted another sup
ply is at hand ready ior immediate use,
the tiny plunts take it up. and are thus
mow rapidly pushed i c-rwjird. We ha vb
often relied the seed with marked ben
efit, and if you had left off the kaiuit
you would doubtless have secured a
good “stand” of stroug, vigorous plants.

them the past spring, and I think they
are doing as well us any of the slipped
potatoes. When I lived in southwest

Agricultural Department,
Atlanta, Ga., June 1, 1896.
The widespread aud long continued
drouth, extending through the greater
part of two months, has sorely tried the
endurance and faith of many atixlous
toilers, but while the Injury to crops is
considerable, the general outlook is
much more encouraging than condi
tions would soem to warrant. The oat
orop, where the preparation and fertili
zation wore thorough and the seed sowu
iu the fnll, lias made a fair yield. It
is only where the seed were hastily
Scratched iu, iu the spring, that the crop
is an entire fnilure. Corn and cotton,
us u rule, have borne the strain with
less Injury than might have been up
prehended—attributable without doubt
to the morn careful preparation und
planting which have characterized our
methods.
IMPORTANCE OF DEEP PREPARATION.
As wo have poiuted out before, if onr
land is deeply and thoroughly pioweil,
the subsoil being reached and broken,
we take double chances against disaster
from either too much or too little rain.
In the first case the rnln. instead of
washing over the land carrying dasl ruc
tion iu its course, sinks into the upper
soil and downward to lower depths,
there to be ready for future demauds.
1 In the second, the surplus fnoisture hav
ing been stored iu the subsoil, is, dur
ing a long dry spell, drawn to tho sur
face by the power of capollary action,
and if yr cun stop it there by u mulch
of finely pulverized soil, we will be able
to holdlt until the thirsty plants can
absorb it.
OUUTVATION of the crops.
There aro two mouths. yot of unre
mitting watchfulness and labor before
wo can pause in opr efforts to make our
bread by the sweat of our brow— the
crops must not be permitted to suffer
for cultivation for even one day, if it is
possible fur us to prevent it. As so
often emphasized in these columns, we
awoke to the necessity of rapid wok.
To follow a mule und>plow up and ilowu
a rpw five dr six times, when one, or at
most, two trips is sufficient, seems folly,
and the man who has tried the wiser
and quicker, cun never be induced to
return to the slower pi a a.' He realizes
that Where the ■ laud has been thor
oughly prepared, the One thing uoedful,
after the crops have been plahted and
begin to grow, is to keep only the eqr
face stirred', and thut a spreading culti
vator or wide extending sweep is the
best, and In the eud, the most economi
cal implement for doing the work sat
isfactorily. Some times; at the first
plowing of the young crops it. is neces
sary to plow close and deep, bat after
every hair’s breadth we go be-
Solid oh inch in depth causes iuoalcu
ible uud irremediable injury to the del
icate rootlets, increasing iu destsective
uiet as we progress downward. 1C only
every farmer in Georgia could realize
this fundamental principle and put into
execution plaiis for promoting it, how
vastly would our .task lie lightoued and
how surely and greatly would our re
turns be increased ! Let us study and
plan to ; work over our crops at least
every two weeks, and if the periods can
be reduced to ten duys—so much more
will it tend to the satisfactory develop
ment of tho plants. Lit the plowings
be done as soon ns possible after each
rain, though there be 110 grim* to kill,
wo should, if possible, prevent the form
ation of a crust.
