Dppabtnsxt or Agriculture,
Atlanta, Not. 1, 1S04.
In srMdntinvMtiKatioa, which Iliavo
tx‘*-□ conducting in order to get at the
average production of the staple crops
throughout Georgia, I have become in-
torfstod alto in atcertaining the average
of commercial fertilize:* used and tlioir
effect dtl our crops. At germaino to
these, proper fertilization, diversifica
tion, I applying o'lir lands with what
they mott need to feed oar crops are
natnrally suggested, in all of which
there is much food for serious Ihonght.
Indetd, from whatever standpoint wo
view the agricultural questions, sooner
or later the gravo need of patient, care
ful. judicious improvement and build
ing up of our lands, force* itself upon
our attention as one of paramount Im
portance. Though I have already spok
en and written much on this anbject, I
feel bound to continne until onr farm
ers are thoroughly aroused to Its de
mands and fully realize its vital influ
ence on their industry.
In conducting tho investigation re
ferred to above, I have had access to the
very best authorities, and from tho
most careful estimates the somewhat
surprising and wholly lamentable con-
elusion is reached that, in spite of tho
large area of fresh land taken In and
tha almost fabnlons consumption of
commercial fertilizers, production in
Georgia stands at about tho same figure
thit it did 20 years ago. I don't mean
that wo have not raised biggor crops of
cotton, but that, whilo wo have bellied
to crowd tho markets of tho world with
tho fleecy staple nnd each year lias wit
jiessed a decline in tho price, the aver
age production per aero has not mato
rially increased. And whorn is tha
profit for ns If onr lands nro boing ox-
ImusUd. and it is becoming moro dllU-
colt each year to wring from these long
Hinvring, lull'd run fields, even with III.i
powerful stimulus of expensive chemi
cal compounds, tho avcrftgo halo to
lUNiml Mt aw Rive till’ data that
farmers may exnmino tho figures and
see {or titcmsolves to what ond our pres
ent policy will inevitably load. With
cotton at 10 cents, tho result might bo
deferred for perhaps a few years, but
even flint figure would cense to bo re
munerative, when our lunds fall to re-
• pond to lioavy doses of commercial
1' nilizvi’, nr when tlm usual summer
drouth, sweuplng across our shallow
plowed fields, lays its tlcry lunch im our
growing crops, which having no "depth
of root wither inv.ty."
There is not, howovor, tho remotest
possibility ot 10 cents cotton, uud with
n prospect of a long period of A or 0

is upon us to tnko onr bearings nud got

From this it appears that in 20 years

which at tho moderate average of $98 a
tou makes tho total nmouut spent for
commoroi&l fertilizers alone roach very
nearly 4100,000,0001 Or, looking at the
subject from another standpoint, wo
have in that period used enough to put
on each cotton ncre iu Georgia nearly
one uud a halt tons!
Lid us look ut tho other slda of tho
record. By this largo Investment and
crowding In every available tore, we
liavo ls-vii enabled to raise phenomenal

Hour, osls anil hay, we can readily see
how these big cotton crops havo been
nls-orbcd. And wlmt havo wo to allow

mistaken mothoits of using them, have
nil, nr nearly nil, gone out in the cot
ton, leaving our lands rather worse off
each year; and file Karon, grain nud
hsv have all Imon consumed.
lion long can even tho most prosper
ous country stand such drains as these?
Fortunately, a clear comprehension of
our position is forcing itself upon oteu
the most thoughtless, and there is be
ginning a gradual return to more eon-
serretive methods.. Tho provision crop

thi form ot old debts, in some c.i is of

with 6 cent* cotton is a hopeless ta.-k,
and farmers are discouraged and dcs
poudent. It is only the ample provision
cuoof corn, peas, potatoes, ground
in'as, sorghum, and hay which saves us
front almost universal suffering.

Let u* see to it that we follow strictly

The high prices, which ruled for a ae
ries ot JOW, did not make our farmers
prosperous. On tho contrary, the strug
gle became harder and harder each
year. In many canes fanners are now
staggering under debts contracted when
cotton was high and credit easy, when
we 6! aked onr ailop one crop and lost.
With the slack season and tho long
winter evening* tho opportunity conies
for him to look around and study the
questions most nearly affecting his in-
0-rests. It is the interchange of
thought and plan which promotes fan* ;
provement, and the farmer who sue-1
ceeds is the one who la willing and i
quick to receive as well as impart infor- |
mation, who grasps the salient points in
any well considered, progressive plan
and lifts himself higher in the scalo of
agriculture.
A farmer needs sharp wits as well as
sharp plows, and if ho would succoed,
ho must "feed tho brain" as well as tho
•oil.
As a help to every inquiring farmer
nothing is wore valuable than a well es
tablished ami reliablo agricultural jour
nal. Tho cost of subscription, compared
with tho ideas suggested, tlm train of

to improved nnd better paying methods,
is nearerly to In- <un«i<P-r, d. 'J li' usual

Amid the gloom of general depression
nnd low priced cotton, there is ono
spot to which wo can torn with thank
fulness, and that is our
cm cons chop.
Tho corn crop of tho south is esti
mated at 200,000,000 bushels more this
rear than from the same states in 1893,
•which will run the yield up to about
onc-tblrd the entire corn product of tho
wholo country. This fact takon in eon-
necticn with tho almost total failure ot
the crop In the corn producing states of
the v* ,-i mill the piokible high pri* * in
the spring, point to ih» importance of
care, not only In gathering and hous
ing, but in using iu such manner as o
avoid wanto of that which will bring a
good cash prico later on. Already com
has told at a higher figure than wheat,
and the prico is now much abovo tho
average for several years.
The reuth has had the good fortune
to produce a 1 arge crop at a period when
the general mark"! K short, and tor tho
first lime .aiucii the war, conditions are
reversed, nnd wo will holp to supply
our western neighbors. Let ns not lose
this mlvantngo by a too prodigal uso or
wasto in feeding. To make this condi-
lion yield i! ■ full value tons, we should
plant such fall crops ns will cnablo us to
hold a largo part of our corn for a re
munerative price, or, if wo have tho
stock mid necossnry arrangements for
feeding and for saving tho manure, let
tis manufacture our raw product into
tho higher and better paying forms of
milk, bnttcr and cheese, always remem
bering Hint tho mere feeding of stock on
barely sufficient to cany them through
tho winter, is a wasteful polioy. While
it is not necessary to build cvpensivo
stablos, it is vory important to afford
onr stock nmplo protection ngniuat wind

Quoting from tho North Carolina ex

which ha.-* enabled us to push our state
Into the front rauk of improvement and
progress at the south. Onr section Is
rapidly developing in other enterprises
THE MAUUN TELEGRAPH: SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4, 1894
and tEc bole, as soon'as it comes from
the press, has almost in orery instance
been offered for eala.
The discouraging effect of low prices
is particularly felt when we consider
the fact that In onr section there lias
been little, if any, increase in tho gen
eral yield compared to last year.
The reports of correspondents of the
department will, in onr opinion, be ver
ified. These reports havo at no time in
dicated a nioch greater yield for this
year Ulan last. That they are correct
are shown by the receipts at onr interior
towns, which, notwithstanding the nn-
usually fair weather, are little, if any,
in czccss of last year. In regard to our
yield, it is to lie regretted that even
though wo havo no increase the present
yoar that our increase in the past lias
been due to an increase of acreage and
not to an increase in the yield per acre,
so essential to our success.
Tbo commissioner says in his report
on this subject: •
Recently, tbo department has bad an
tler investigation tho yield aud acreage
of staple crops In tho state with a view
of ascertaining whether tho progress-
mads towards developing the varied re
sources of onr soil has been accompanied
by an increased yield of staple prodnctB
per acre. Wo regret to say that the re
sults of this investigation have not been
eatisfactory, and that, beginning with
1860, and qp to the present time, no im
provement in yield has taken place. Ex
ceptional years have occurred in which
tho yield has exceeded that of several
years previous, but this has not been
followed by a gain in thosncceediig
year, and shows an increase from a fa
vorable season rather than permanent
improvement of tho soil.
When wo consider the immense sum
of money expended annually for fertili
zers, this is far from an encouraging
statement, and clearly demonstrates
that onr expenditures do qot accomplish
the proper purpose, i. c., -tho enhance-
’ment of the value of onr lands by in
creasing their yielding capacity. In
tho distributed literature of the depart
ment, both through tho press and In
pamphlet form, wo have endeavored to
Impress the necessity of upbuilding our
soil; and, ns before stated, wo feel as
sured from tho interest and inquiries as
to fertilization, and tho use of legumin
ous plants, that what has been said on
this subject has not been lost, and that
the coming year will find moro farms in
Georgia conducted with the end iuviow
of securing . better yield tho following
year than hitherto in tho history of tho
state. Wo havo frequently referred to
,the suscoptiliility of our clay soils to a
high state of cultivation, and Georgia,

As now is tho season of the - year to
set out orchard, wo call attention to
what tho commissioner has said as to
this adjunct to our agriculture, which
is becoming one of onr large sonreos of
rcveiluo.
It would teem from the foregoing,
Hint is. from tho foot that wo show no
gain in general yield of staplo orops,
that it would be found difficult to find
nny encouragement in tho outlook. It
must bo remembered, however, that onr
improvement has been in tho direction
of the smaller, and what has hitherto
boon considered tho non-essentials, of
our agriculture. Thns, whilo tho cot

a close oven Is from 35 to 40 per cent. All meats contain 75 per cent, of water and
only 25 per cent of solid matter and the loss that Is made In the roasting is mada
In the evaporation of the -t.tlces—which la the vital part of the meat. A ten-pound '
sirloin, medium or well done. If rousted in a solid oven door stove will be reduced
to six pounds and four ounces of roasted meat, showing a loss of three pounds
nnd twelve ounces of Juice. While the los a t* 37ft per cent, of the total weight It
shows the enormous loss of 50 per cent, of the juices.
When a Charter Oak Wire Gauze Door Stove or Range Is used in roasting a
sirloin medium or well done, it will be reduced to nine pounds nnd eight ounces
of roasted meat, showing a loss of only eight ounces of Juice. While this loss is
5 per cent ot the weight, It shows the very smalt loss ot but 7 per cent, of juice.
‘•The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world;** also the pocketbook. Tho
wife and mother la consulted about the buying in every family. This is as It
should be. for no one takes such a wise, Unselfish interest In everything connected
with the house. The choice of the cooking stove or range certainly should bo left
to her and in every case where a woman u familiar with the Charter Oak she se
lects ll because sho known It will do perfect work and effect a saving In time, la
bor and fuel, and will outlast any others. Furnish your cook with a Charter Oak
and you will prevent any excuse for a late meal or a poorly cooked meal. Read
the following dialogue between the lady of the house and her cook:
Lady of the House—Do you still like our Charter Oak as well as when we first
got it?
Aunt Caroline—Oh, every bit And grain a, ML nut am.
Uuly ot the House—I am expecting eome triends to visit us (luring the Dixie
v.lr and 1 want you to do your very beat cooking.
Aunt Carollue—Indeed I will, ma’am. There’s no trouble to cook nice with that
etove The Wire Oauie Oven Doora makca it aO much Meier than atoves I have
been use to, and I have ao much more time to make everything lust right. Just
look at *lat roll. De Boss hla aelf will be all smiles when he jumps oft de elecln-
trlsh car and gets a whiff of It. You know he loves them better than anythin*
... h 0 «. i never have bad luck with bread, biscuits and cake now.
lady hf the House-Why. how do you explain It?
Aunt Caroline-Well, ma’am, I don’t have to watch everything so close for fear
It will burn up. You know how careful you hava to be with a baked custard; it is
so apt to burn on. top before ii is baked through. The Charter Oak bakes it per-
fectly without any danger of burning. And then in roosting a turkey I don’t have
to keep on basting it every five minutes, it roasts perfectly brown without it and
without drying It up like tight ovens do. And 5’ou know how crisp my biscuits is
without being hard and tough. Ybu and de boss always praised my biscuits and
rolls, but if It wasn’t tor the Wire Gauze Overt Door I knows they wouldn’t be
near as nice. I hope I’ll never have to cook anywhere where tfiey haven’t got a
Charter Oak Stove. Yes, ma’am, let your kinfolks come on and I’ll keep them
busy while dey are at your table, and when they go down to the Dixon’s Fair they,
won’t hab to be hunting up dera boofa what I hear all the chllluna talk so much
about.
