THE MACON TELEGRAPH: THURSDAY MORNING, 'AUGUST 25, 1904.
The Story of a Bulletin.
By MON. MARTIN V. CALVIN.
Public Interest cannot fall to center
to a noticeable extent In any article
of merchandise In which a large num
ber of the citizens of a commonwealth
annually Invest from $8,000,000 to $9,-
000,000.
Of the people of Georgia who are en
gaged In what are denominated "the
gainful occupations" of life, three-
fourths are tillers of the soil, and these
are they who each yefir purchase, for
use on their farms. $8,000,000 to $9,000,-
000 worth of commercial fertilizers.
The farmers of Georgia are among
the state’s most Intelligent and pro-
presslve cltzens. They must have be
come convinced that high-grade com
mercial fertilizers are a good purchase
—a profitable Investment. They must
have reached the conclusion that ^hat
class of fertilizers are absolutely In
dispensable; for we And, upon Inquiry,
that the number of tons annually pur
chased has Increased at a rapid rate.
The state begun to keep a record of
such fertilizers, analyzed and Inspect
ed for sale, in 1874.
Let us take the sales by periods of
ten years, and note the Increase In the
volume of tons:

Increase ...401,952
The average tonnage purchased,
1884-1902. both Inclusive, amounted to
324,579 tons.
The quantity used In 1902 was nearly
double the average for the nineteen
years Just referred to.
What a paradeful array of facts!
Are those facts not worthy the study
of our farmers and our people gener
ally?
Bulletin No. 40. Issued by Hon. O. B.
Stevens, the suave, able and hard
working commissioner of agriculture,
tels a wondrous story about the use
of high-grade commercial fertilizers
and the character of the goods.
It Is a valuable publication and re
flects credit on the departments.
Before lopklng into the use and the
results of these fertilizers, let us see
what Dr. McCandless, the accomplish
ed state chemist, has to say about
them.
In 18,74, there were 110 brands of
fertilizers sold In this stnte. In 1902,
there were 895 brands.
Why are there so great a number
of brands? Largely because of an
effort on the part of tjie manufacturers
to meet a constantly Increasing de
mand for a balanced fertilizer. What
is meant by a "balanced fertilizer?"
Just exactly what Is meant by a bal
anced ration for a milch cow or a
balanced ration for a horse. The
thought Is, "plant food"—the Ingred
ients so proportioned that they will
supply Just what the plant requires in
order thnt It may accomplish its mis
sion. The food must not only be
adapted to the plant but the I plant
must be Intelligently fed.
If one be desirous of the best re
sults In oats, he should use a fertilizer
balanced on this line: Available
phosphoric add. 9 per cent; ammonia,
S per cent; muriate of potash, 6 per
cent
If one were growing tomatoes,
should use the following. Phos acid, 6
per cent; ammonia, 4 per cent; mur
late of potash. 7 per cent.
In other words, a fertilizer that
would make cotton grow and fruit and
yield In "leaps and bounds", would not
• give satisfactory results If applied to
oats or tomatoes, one or both.
The analysis made of the 895 brands
show that, with the exception of fif
teen, the per centum of fertilising In
gredients contained In each brand
greater than that claimed by the
manufacturer, and yet, the fifteen con
formed to the requirements of the law.
Now, that Is evidence of the high
cst character that the manufacturers
of these fertilizers are dealing honest
ly with the people—not only tracking
the law hut giving. In 880 cases out of
895, more than the laws exacts.
There Is, however, nothing remark
able in the course pursued by the
manufacturers; for, aside from their
high* standing aa business men. they
could not. If they would resort to
policy, that would be out of line with
high business methods.
It Is a # fact—tolthelr praise be It
stated—that from the beginning they
have been turning out A No. 1 goods.
It Is deplorable that, while farmers
purchase fertilizers freely, they ap
ply them, as a rule, stingily, skimpily,
uneconomical^.
The cotton crop of last year, about
which so much haa been said, was
made with an avernge application of
130 pounds of fertilizer per
hence three acres, under that method
of feeding, did the best they could
possibly do when they gave the farmer
one 500-pound bale. No money In that,
though the cotton be sold at 12Mr cents
per pound.
Let us see: Three acres. In hay, pea
hay or other good hay, with a yield
of one and three-fifths tons ner acre
(the average per acre In Georgia la one
and three-quarters tons), at $17 per
ton. would equal $81.00. One 500-pour
bale from three acres, at 12*4 cents
per pound ,$62.50. DfTerence In
of the hay, $19.10. This different
would nT>t be materially changed or
diminished If we should credit the cot
ton with the seed and charge up other
Items on either side.
What does this difference atand tor?
What an Important fact does It em
phasize?
It stands a strtKIng illustration of
the unwisdom of "sklmplnes*" In the
application of fertilisers per acre. It
emphasizes the fact that the true pol
icy Is to use high-grade fertilizers with
an open but judicious hand.
True economy Is the vigorous use of
In point: A Massachusetts
farmer applied to a measured acre of
land (land similar in character can be
found anywhere In Georgia) one ton
half of a suitable high-grade
commercial fertilizer, cost price $60,
ded to onions. In the fulness
of time he gather 1,082 bushels of
arketable onions and sold them at
aents per buBhel.
Major Glesner Is Interesting farmers
along the line of the Georgia Southern
and Florida in Irish potato culture,
with a liberal use of fertilizers adapt
ed to the plant. East it Is usual to
apply 1,600 pounds per acre for Irish
potatoes.. Next spring will show good
results If the farmers will make up
their minds to feed the plants liberally
.with the kind of food they will need.
One may make a large crop of "soggy"
potatoes or he may make a crop of
"mealy" potatoes. The result will de
pend on a disregard or a recognition
of* the fact that there Is something In
a balanced ration of suitable plant
food.
Turning agnlrt to cotton; No man
should plant for less than half ^ bale
^er acre, average, and he should study
and work up to an average of one bale
per acre, and more.
I say this because of the large amount
of cash which Is each year put In com
mercial fertilizers. We plant too large
an. acreage. Existing eondtions de
mand that there should be a reduction
In acreage, and that, by a more liberal
use of fertilizers, the best seed and
better culture, a larger yield per acre,
not only of cotton but of all crops,
should he realized.
The moment that Georgia farmers
recognize and accept the policy Just
outlined, that very moment a career
of unexampled prosperity will open Tip
to each of them.
You have not forgotten, Mr. Editor,
the sensation created a few years ago
by the late Farlsh Furman In the mat
ter of results which he wrought by the
intensive system.
Furman’s formula was as follows:
Barn yard manure, 750 pounds: cotton
seed, 750 pounds; acid phosphate 367
pounds; knlnlt. 133 pounds—total 2,000
pounds: application per acre, 400 to
800 pounds according, of course, to the
character and condition of the soil.
Dr. McCandless, gentleman and skill
ed chemist, may not know how to set
out or cultivate a tomato plant, "for ex
ample. but he can give you a formua
that will enable you to have an abun
dance of the choicest of that valuable
and deservedy popular vegetable. He
knows all about plant food, and. In the
Bulletin under discussion, gives six
different formulas for cotton, each em
bracing the three Ingredients!essential
to a complete or balanced fertilizer.
Character and condition of the soil al
ways to be considered. He recommends
that 500 to 600 pounds be applied per
acre.
Think of that, will you, In connection
with the Impolicy of 130 pounds per
acre!
Some bears nnd a few newspapers
are talking about a 12,000,000 bale crop
this year. No one doubts that the world
would be glad of and could readily use
such a'crop, but the grad-grind fact re-
ma|i\s that, between thq broad-acreage.
Illiberal fertilizing plan! and the deter
mination of the negroes not to work
In cotton Held (or other field) the grow
ing crop will not exceed 10,500,000 bales.
With the labor at command, It will be
Impossible to pick a greater number of
bales than that Just mentioned.
It seems Impossible for our people,
outside the farms, too grasp the situ
ation as to the scarcity of labor in tho
country.
Speaking of agriculture generally and
the value of farm lands, the South’s fu
ture Is brighter than It has been since
April. 1865. The young white men of
this state have turned to the fields and
hundreds of them are conducting with
white help their own farms. They have
adopted the smaller acreage—Intensive
system. They will not fall. NOxt year,
thousands will follow the splendid ex
ample they set last January. In the
other cotton states, young white men
will adopt the Georgia plan.
Problem to be solved? The young
gentlemen referred to have alrendy
solved It.
The 200 country banks In Georgia
have a great mission and good work
before them. The farmers own three
dollars of every four dollars In those
banks. Let the bnnks extend accom
modation to the hard working, plucky
young farmers. I have alluded to. Ex
tend them accommodation next season
so that they may be able to buy where
they please for cash—buying the best
fertilizers, improved farm Implements,
etc., where they can be bought cheap
est.
I rejoice to know that, so far as all
the farmers of Georgia are concerned,
the close of 1904 will tee the Rubicon
passed; the battle on all issues fought
and won.

ATLANTA. Aug. 24.—Hon. Hoke
Hoke Smith returned today from the
East. Mr. Smith spoke on the night
of Thursday, the 12th, in the borough
of Queeps, and on the next Saturday
was the guest of Judge Parker. On
his way home Mr. Smith stopped over
111 Rabufi county last Saturday and
spoke In Blue Ridge valley In the In
terest of a new high school and educa
tional development In Rabun county.
When asked about political condi
tions, Mr. Smith said:
"I was at Democratic headquarters
for several days while I was In New
York. Both Judge Parker and those at
Democratic headquarters were exceed
ingly confident of Democratic success.
Judge Parker was receiving letters
from all over New York state promis
ing him # the support of men who had
prior to that time voted the Republican
ticket. I also heard the most encour
aging news from New Jersey, Chair
man Taggart felt very confident of suc
cess in Indiana."
When asked what effect the States
boro lynching and the candidacy of
Tom Watson would have Mr. Smith
said:
**I nm sure the Statesboro trouble
will be used by the Republicans to
damage the party as much as possi
ble. I fear also that whatever votes
Tom Watson receives will be taken
from the Democrats. In spite of both
of these facts, however. I regard JudgQ
Parker’s prospects of success ns excel
lent. Personally he Inspires universal
confidence. The masses of the voters
need only (p be satisfied that the Dem
ocratlc party will fully sustain him,
and that no danger exists of a fight by
Democratic congressmen upon him «
upon his policies nfter he Is elected."
"Will you make any more speeches
during the campaign?"
"I expect to make several speeches
In the East before the election."
Mr. Smith has been Invited to speak
In Boston. Hartford and In Brooklyn.

A PLUCKY CREW.
They Raised a Submarine Boat After it
Had Sunk 100 Feet.
NEWPORT, R. I.. Aug. 24.—It be
came known today that while the sub
marine torpedo, boat Shark was being
prepared for a submerged run near
Brentons reef light ship Monday after
noon, she sank to the bottom in a hun
dred feet of water nnd remained there
for some time before the crew could
move her. The enuse of the sinking Is
not known. Lieut. Nelson wns In charge
of the'boat, with Lieut. Shepley and a
crew of eight men aboard. The men
displayed no excitement over the situa
tion, but tried a number of experiments
before the boat could be raised. Finally
after working hnrd they succeeded by
use of a hand pump In bringing her to
the surface. The boat apparently was
not damaged.
