is reported that in the mass meet¬

“all legal voters,” but it was voted
down by a decisive majority. The
people of Telfair do not. understand
this, they areata lots to know why
Irwin should seek to nominate a

THE MARCH FREEZE,
Throughout the state tho disastrous
effect of the March freeze was felt, in
some localities necessitating the entire
replanting of cotton, and, in the more
northern portions, even the young corn,
which was just coming up or had com¬
menced to grow off, had to be plowed
UP and planted oyer again, Biff by the
middle oi May these crops had almost
recovered from the temporary backset.
THE FRUIT CROP,
however, peaches, pears, and to sorpo
extent applos and small fruits, not ex¬
cepting the hardy blackberries, had suf¬
fered too, severely. Jn almost every
section the peaches and pears were en¬
tirely cut oif, and, in some instances,
the trees also were injured beyond rem¬
edy. One pre-eminent misfortune of
this kind is the destruction of a beauti¬
ful spring orchard on Kennesaw moun¬
tain. The trees were unusually hand¬
some and healthy, and would have come
into full bearing next year. I am told
that not one was spared, The fact that
a freeze like this comes perhaps about
once in 20 or 80 years, contains little
comfort for the kwer. Its rarity can
only encourage those who contemplate
petting out young orchards, and whose
hopes are ;n the future.
In one or two favored sections the in¬
jury to the orchards was not material,
but the fact cannot be disputed that
fruit of all kinds will be at a premium.
In filling this hiathus the
GEORGIA WATERMELON
comes prominently forward. The early
plantings were of course injured more
or less, but the replant is making steady
progress, and, though the weather has
continued most unfavorable, the season
to melon growers bids fair to be an un¬
usually profitable ope.
While crops generally were still suf¬
fering from the freeze the
BLIZZARD IN THE MIDDLE OF MAY
came upon us, and it is disheartening to
again have to chronicle the severe injury
sustained by the young plants scarcely
yet recovered from tho previous dis¬
aster. In northern Georgia, more es¬
pecially, the heavy winds and unex-.
pected cold wrought sad havoc with
tender vegetation. The corn, though
much whipped and twisted by the se-
verity of the wind, can withstand a da-
gree of cold, before which tho delicate
young cotton must succumb, and tho
corn fields are now taking- on a vigorous
growth, fields but the look plants in the if they devastated
cotton almost as would
never hold up their heads again. Where
the crop had Been brought to a "stand”
the injury was of oourss proportionally
greater. In some cases those plants
■yrhich were able to resist the finally first ef¬
fects of the trying weather, died
from tho secondary "sore shins” and
the depredations of lice, always worse,
when the mornings and evenings are
chilly. Where the crop has been tided
pver this critical period the yield may
yet reach a fair average.
In cases where the first injury, com¬
bined with the chilly days mid parching
winds of the last of May, have succeed¬
ed in killing out the "stand,” it is now
too late to remedy the evil. Cotton once
well started, will resist a degree of back
treatment, which corn, in its shorter
period of development, develop will resent, but
the cotton, in order to success¬
fully, must be in good growing condi¬
tion by the first of June. As stated last
month, if, as a rule, the first of June
finds the farmer with good stands and
clean fields, he can hopefully enter on
the work of that busy month. But this
js an exceptional year. Though tha
farmer may hayo prosecuted his work
with judgment and well directed ener¬
gy, he may have the misfortune to wit¬
ness the destruction of his best laid
yond plans, his and control. this by agencies entirely be¬
I fear that in some
localities the cotton has been too badly
damaged to recover. Although if is now
too late to replant, let us not resign our¬
selves to supine regret. We cannot
afford to plow up the plants that remain
if even half a stand is left. The culti-
tivation must go on, and in order that
the
MISSING SPACES
may he made to pay something for the
work which they, in common with the
cotton, must recoive, it would be well
to drop a few Spanish ground paas or
whippoorwill peas in the long gaps. The
mistake so often made in planting peas
with another crop is that the variety
chosen is of too luxuriant growth, and
finally overruns and chokes out the less
Vigorous crop. This is true of all the
running kinds, but if the whippoorwill,
whose habit is to bunch rather than
spread culty. out, is used, we obviate this diffi¬
Ground peas, vines and nnts, pulled
np and cured together, make splendid
forage, and those who have tried it
know the value of pea vine hay. In the
latter crop we also store up nitrogen in
the soil for future use, and thus receive
a double benefit, for we can appropriate
all that we can cut, and still the roots
and stems remain to perform their im¬
portant office as nitrogen gatherers.
Unfortunately there are cases where
the
COTTON is killed
out, or there are only a few plants left
standing' and these separated by long
blank intervals. If the farmer does not

In looking over the records fm* 1893 I
am romindo.1 that the sprinx was most
unfavorable, and vet the average crop
year, except jn north *rn Georgia, proved
exceptionally good. Lot us take courage
from our past experience, and though
the pres nit outlook is most dishearten-
ing, lot n< steadily go forward with the
work which crowds upon us in this busy
month.
The fact that tho crops aro unusually
backward and unpromising points to
even more urgent necessity for careful
and rapid work. Each time that the
soil is stirred tho little plants
are encouraged by fresh supplies and
of moisture, air and warmth,
and we should neglect no means of giv-
ing these in as full measure as possible,
THE CULTIVATION OF THE CORN AND
COTTON.
On a large area in the state tho corn
crop will bo ready to “lay by” before
the first of July. At tho last working, thor¬
which, though shallow, should be
ough, sow peas, either broadcast or in
tho center iun'Q'V. In the very careful
experiments at our experiment station,
as to the best method of utiliz ng the
vines, the conclusion is, that more is
gained by cutting and curing for hay
that by gathering the peas or turning
under tne crop. The cotton being un¬
usually small requires most careful
work. The warm days of June will,
we hope, revive tho drooping plants.
This is essentially a sun crop and it is
astonishing to witness its powers of re¬
cuperation under tho iniluence of heat
Rnd light.
THE HARVESTING) OF TIIE GRAIN AND
CLOVER
Comes at a very inconvenient time for
a cottou farm. If possible the work
should be done with the farm hands,
and in the present backward condition
of other crops, this is comparatively an
easy undertaking. To avoid unneces¬
sary waste in harvesting the clover, do
not allow it to remain exposed too long
to the weather, otherwise the loss in
both blooms and leaves is considerable.
Alter cutting, leave for a few hours,
until thoroughly wilted, then gather
into heaps, and as soon as cured, haul
to shelter.
The grain intended for feeding ean be
cut earlier than that intended tor seed
or to be ground into flour. As soon as
the grain is off sow peas broadcast, a
bushel to the acre, using about 200
pounds of superphosphate. If the land
is in good condition, or if the work is
done immediately after a rain, the cut
away harrow furnishes an excellent and
rapid means qf plowing them in. If the
land is hard pr the season dry it be-
comes necessary to use the ordinary
turn plows, scooter or shovel.
SOWING OF MILLET SORGHUM
and other forage crops can still go on,
always remembering that, the later the
sowing the richer the land should be.
POTATOES
also can be planted all through June
with great success. Indeed, some ex¬
periment farms maintain that slips and
Vines put out in June make as many
potatoes, which are smoother and re-
quire less work than the earlier plant-
ings. If the broken, slips are ready and the
land well a rain is not at all
necessary. If water is accessible put
plenty in the hole, press in the slip and
coyer with dry dirt. In nine cases out
of Id they succeed as well, and some-
times better, than if planted after a
heavy rain.
The following from the March num-
ber of the Southern Cultivator was
crowded out of last month’s ‘'Talk.”
The term "fodder,” as used in tho sta-
tion report here, means the stall;, leaves

harvesting the corn chop—PULLING
fodder.
It seems rather premature to refer to
this question at this season, but it is of
as much importance to the farmer to
save the stalks and fodder, as to save
the corn, and we introduce it here to
call attention to the tremendous waste
in the usual method of pulling the blades
and leaving the standing stalks, which,
when preparations for another crop be¬
gin, are either piled and burned—a dead
loss—or cut and plowed under, a meth¬
od of questionable utility and little pres¬
ent benefit. In Virginia it has been
proven by actual experiment, that in
this one item the farmers of that state
waste every year more money than
would pay their state taxation.
As we stated before, corn is a costly
crop, and every part of the plant has
drawn tribute from our time and labor
ly and money. Why should we retain on¬
a part, and throw away the other
made at equal expense and just as val¬
uable? No doubt the statement that
every part of the corn stalk is of equal
nutritive value, and that the whole is of
more value than the ears grown upon it,
is an astounding revelatiqn tq the gener¬
ality of farmers, but such is the fact,
which has been established, not only by
labaratory experiment, but by actual
tests with stock in feeding, and we feel
bound to call attention to it. The fol¬
lowing is a the summary Maryland of results pub¬
lished by station after
careful tests;
1. AH parts of the corn plant contain
valuable food materials, the dry matter
having nearly the same oomposition.
2. The corn stubble and husks con¬
tain 60 per cent of tlm total digestible
matter produced by the plant, and the
blades only 11 per cent of the total di¬
gestible master.
8. Corn husks or shucks contain 72
per cent qf digestible matter.
4. ’ Cora stubble or butts contain 0G.5
per cent of digestible matter.
5. Corn blades or leaves contain 64,2
per cent of digestible matter.
6. Topped corn of fodder digestible (stover) con¬
tains 55 per cent matter.
7. There is more digestible matter
contained in the corn lodder from one
acre than in the corn ears from one
acre.
ft. The corn fodder, or stover, from
one aero yields as much digestible mat¬
ter as two tons of timothy hay.
9. There is enough degestible matter
produced by the corn fodder grown
in the southern states to winter all the
live stock existing ia those states, if it
was properly preserved and prepared in
a palatable form.

question is, how best to accomplish this
with our surroundings. In a higher
latitude it is a comparatively simple
matter. Let ouoh farmer resolve to try

the following taken from an exchange is
worth trying!
