Department op Agriculture, ?
Atlanta, Nov. 1, 1892.-
The month of ©ctober, on the whole,
has been most favorable for gathering
the crops of com and cotton, and the
farmers have shown great energy and
care in placing the fleecy staple beyond
the reach of injury from unfavorable
weather.
Throughout the state the yield is the
poorest in ten years. Today the fields
are almost hare, nothing in the plants
to mature. In other words, the crop is
gathered for this season, and the'results
are most unsatisfactory. There has not
been in years a season in which the ab
sence of favorable climate and soil con
ditions has been more conspicuously
marked.
Where the proper preparations were
made in time and the soil had, even in
moderate quantities, the requisite ele
ments for plantjgrowth, and where en
ergy and sound judgment have charac
terized the planting and subsequent cul
tivation, the yield is, notwithstanding
adverse seasons, fairly good. But
where there was late planting, light
manuring, or no manuring at all, and
where the cultivation was slow and im
perfect, the yield is the poorest I have
ever known.
The experience of the past twenty-five
years should convince every farmer,
who was allured by the high prices of
cotton directly after the war into fol
lowing the “one-crop” system, that an
agricultural people never made a greater
Mistake than in staking their all on a
Single issue. The making of these suc
cessive crops has cost not only vast sums
gf borrowed money, hut has consumed
a me and talent and energy, and worn
$it a soil that once possessed every ele
ment for producing, in abundance, all
the crops suited to our climate and sec
tion. I have been forcibly, indeed pain
fully, impressed the past season with
the undeniable fact that most of our
surface soil is lost to us forever, and,
even in more favored sections, where
the lands are level, the manifest decline,
in both plant growth and yield, axe so
marked as to cause grave apprehension
for the future success of our agriculture.
This depleting, wearing out system
cannot continue indefinitely, the end
must come ere many years roll around,
and then what are we to do ? We have
had all the teams and every farm appli
ance pulling everything down hill since
the war, we have nearly reached the
bottom, and what then? Can you show
me any section of the state where the
farms have been made richer and more
productive? Of course there are in
dividual exceptions, and where you find
these exceptions you generally find
plenty of home supplies and prosperity.
But as a rule the answer to this ques
tion must he unfavorable. The truth is
our farms are growing poorer with each
succeeding crop. We all realize that it
is much easier to exhaust and tear down
than to reclaim and build up these old
fields. . But they can he reclaimed, and
we owe it to ourselves, to our children
to set about the task.
It is estimated that only abont 5 per
cent, of those engaged in trade ever ac
cumulate wealth, quite a large number
succeed in gaining a comfortable sup
port, hut many in all occupations from
various causes, often from lack of en
ergy or proper business qualifications,
fail of their object, and these become
the chronic grumblers and fault-finders
in every community, and attribute to
had laws anu unfavorable seasons the
misfortunes and disappointments which
have fallen to their lot.
The successful farmer must be a man
of energy and tact, wide awake and
ever ready to take on any information
regarding his work. He is not a grum
bler, hut bravely meets and grapples
with every difficulty in his path to suc
cess. He secures pleasure's well as in
dependence from his chosen occupation.
He recognizes the fact that the limit of
production in this country has never
been reached—that we are years behind
the farmers of many European coun
tries. These people, from necessity,
their dense population forcing them to
the most extraordinary efforts to gain a
livelihood, have learned to exercise the
greatest care in saving every element of
plant food; in concentrating tlieir work;
in adopting the most advanced and in
telligent systems of farming. They
have learned the lesson which we are
just beginning to study—that is, how to
reap the largest and most profitable
yield from the smallest area. These
thoughtful* busy workers are demon
strating that, even under continuous
cultivation, lands can he worked at a
profit and at the same time kept up to
a high degree of productiveness/
To realize the utter absurdity and
hopelessness of continuing to cultivate
land in the same crop without rest or
change, one needs only to ride over this
state and examine tlie yield on these
fields, which have been devoted to cot
ton year after year. To a thoughtful
mind the sight is a most depressing one.
We generally occupy the position
which we make for ourselves, and we
cannot reasonably hope to fill a higher
qne. The farmer who allows his lands
to “run down” year after year and then
expects to realize an independence from
them, is making the grand mistake of
his life. It is the man and not the farm
that determines its value'. It is true
that there is a difference in location,
pinnate and nature of soil, hut there is
a irider difference in the men who use
these conditions. Professor Brewer
well illustrates this idea by a case which
came Under his own observation. A
neighbor bought a farm for $20 an acre.
He so improved it that in three years he
was offered $300 an acre for it. At his
*.eath it sold for $250 an acre. In a few
■ears the purchaser sold it for $100 an
acre to a man who finally disposed of
it for $12 an acre.
In our favored climate nature holds
out to us every encouragement. Let us
read and think for ourselves. Let ns
emulate the example of our more pro
gressive and successful neighbor. There
is plenty of room at the top of the lad
der, only crowding and disappointment
at the bottom. Let us struggle “higher
up,” where comfort and abundance

Commissioner.
the' department regards., this as the
largest crop during the past decade.
. GRAIN.
The sowing of wheat and oats has
been retarded by the dry weather, hut
we trust that the farmers will put in
larger crops of small grain-than hereto
fore. The fall is the proper time to
begin to prepare for a decreased acreage
in cotton, aqd for bringing up land by
diversified farming. Let those who
have undertaken to renovate their lands
and to make their farms self-sustaining
continue in their efforts, in this the
right direction. The advance made in
the price of cotton leads to the hope of
higher prices, but let it he always re
membered that if a better price is to he
obtained that the acreage must he re
duced and the size of the crop di
minished. Over-production will always
result in a depression of the market, and
living prices cannot he expected where
a surplus remains on hand.
work of the department.
Perhaps more than any other depart
ment of state- the agricultural depart
ment has been confronted with opposi
tion. In many instances this opposition
grows jjnt of the fact that the work of
the department is not thoroughly under
stood in other cases out of the idea, that
supported by taxation the expenditures
exceed the benefits conferred on the
people. It is true that a part of the
fund that supports this department is
derived from the general fund, but such
is only the case because a great part of
the fees collected through the agency of
the department go to the school fund.
In the biannual report of the depart
ment to the governor the gratifying
result was shown that the fees collected
from inspections that come nnder the
supervision of the- department were
more than ample to meet every expendi
ture for the entire department in all its
branches, with a balance in-favor of the
state of over $3,000. The season from
which these figures were taken was an
unusually small one as regards the
business done in commercial fertilizers,
and is a conservative estimate to place
the amount that will he unusually de
rived above all expenditures at $10,000.
During 1891-92 the change in the law in
regard to the fees of inspectors of oils
.was not in full force, and an increase
from this source can be reasonably ex
pected.
SUPERVISION OF INSPECTION.
Two classes of inspection are under the
direct control and supervision of the
department and the benefits derived
from these inspections perhaps presents
the work of the department in its most
tangible form. The inspection and
analysis of fertilizers*we regard as of
the most vital importance to the farmers
for whose benefit the ’ department was
especially cr. tied. The history of the
fertilizer business, prior to the inspection
system, shows its immense benefits. In
the courts of nearly every county where
fertilizers were used were found cases
where farmers, deriving no benefit from
the goods purchased, were contesting at
a great disadvantage the worth of th%
goods.
The following from the report of the
commissioner to the governor gives
briefly the law on the subject of fer
tilizer inspection, with some other mat
ters of importance to the department.
The Inspection of Fertilizer.
The imperative necessity for laws
governing the inspection of fertilizers
has been recognized by the legislative
bodies of nearly all the states. The
first law passed on this subject in Geor
gia was in 1868. Being of an experi
mental character it was inadequate to
protest .against various frauds that
might he sought to he perpetrated, and
so framed that the subsequent large
business that developed would have
afforded immense revenue to the offi
cials executing the law. Under this
law the inspector, or party drawing the
sample, was at the same time the chem-*
ist making the analysis. It was the
duty of these officers when requested
to inspect fertilizers at any point within
the state, and to furnish certificates of
such inspection. It made unlawful for
any person to sell fertilizers without
such certificate of inspection, for mak
ing which the inspector received fifty
cents a ton. The act creating this sys
tern provided for no general super
vision of the work of the inspec
tors, each being an independent officer
in that section of the state in which he
located. Naturally, therefore.
kales are made^HT isTEe duty of tEe
manufacturer to notify the . department
of the number of tons, the name of the
consignee and where shipped. A failure
on the part of manufacturers to comply
with these conditions renders the sale
absolutely void. The inspectors are
directed where to make inspections, as
each sale is recorded in the office, They
are also sent out on general trips through
the territory assigned them, taking sam
ples wherever found and reporting to the
department the name of the brands, with
the guaranteed analysis found'on the
sack. 'While samples axe not taken
from every shipment, the fact that a
large number are drawn in every part
of the state, and the inability of the
manufacturer to tell from what samples
analysis will be made, upon which de
pends his future business in the state
and his collections,, furnishes, we be
lieve, a perfect safeguard.
In regard to the price of fertilizers in
the state, it is gratifying to report that
our farmers axe able to purchase at as
small cost as in any state in the union.
Our tonnage tax is so low as not to he
considered in making the selling price,
which was not the case 'while the tax
remained at fifty sents per ton. While
the tax is only ten cents per ton, it will
he seen by the receipts from this source
that a sufficient sum is raised to main
tain the entire inspection system, and
without taxation, protect our farmers
from many frauds and impositions. Did
the manufacturers add ten cents to every
ton of goods sold, which they do not,
the farmer could well afford to pay this
small fee to insure him against adul
terated and spurious goods, and secure
for him a service that would otherwise
cost him from ten to fifteen dollars. So
firmly am I convinced of the necessity
of a thorough system of inspection that,
were it necessary to support it by gen
eral taxation, I believe the state would
he compensated by the amount saved
from burdensome litigation that would
result did no such system exist. How
ever, the present tonnage tax has proven
far better than any other method arid,
supporting itself, adds several thousand
dollars annually to the school fund of
the state.

farmers of the state.

General Remarks.
Since the C ctober report was issued
we have'' h&d plenty of sunshine and
warm weather for harvesting crops over
nearly the entire state. Farmers have
availed themselves of the fine oppor
tunity and gathering has progressed
rapidly. In the southern portion of the
state cotton picking is far advanced,
and with a few more weeks of fine
weather the entire crop will be gathered.
Li middle Georgia cotton is nearly all
opened and picked, and in .northern
Georgia much of the crop is out. Com
gathering and the housing Qf peas has
continued rapidly through the fine
weather, and a great part of the work is
completed.
. COTTON.
While the fine weather has been fa
vorable to cotton picking, yet.the entire
absence of moisture has not been with
out its injurious effects. With oc
casional showers the 'small top crop
would have matured, whereas by the
dry, warm weather, small bolls have
been forced open prematurely- The
lint from such bolls is very tight, and
in ginning goes largely to motes. From
a careful consideration of reports and
personal observation of the. condition of
the crop in a part of the state, we feel
6afe in saying that the crop for this
year will not be more than 65 per cent,
of that of last year. These figures take
into consideration not only the small
yield per acre, hut also the reduction in*
acreage.
, CORN.
The com crop of this year is the
largest made in the state for a number
of years. While the crop of last year
probably in the northern part of the
state exceeded in the yield per acre, yet
considering the increased acreage and
the yield in other portions of the state,
when the act of 1874, creating the de-
partment.of agriculture, was passed the
head of this department was placed in
charge of all inspections. The use of
fertilizers rapidly increasing the neces
sity for a change in the law became ap
parent, and to meet this the act of 1877
was passed. Could this law- have been
so executed as to have each shipment
inspected- the protection would have
been ample, hut the consumption be
came so large that inspections in "bulk
were made to facilitate business. These
inspections afforded no sufficient pro
tection, as the goods remaining in the
hands of the manufacturer after the
sample was drawn were subject to sub
sequent adulteration and manipulation,
in which event the analysis of the sam
ple would not represent the goods. sold,
Recognizing this when I came into office
I endeavored to avoid this class of ’in
spections by passing an order. directing
all inspections to he made after the
good3 were sacked and ready fer ship
ment. With the force at the command
of the department it was found impos
sible to make all inspections in this way,
and that inspections in hulk were una
voidable that the business might he con
ducted without delay. Realizing the
insufficiency of these inspections
presented a hill to the last gen
eral assembly which made a radical
change in the system. This' bill became
the law and does, I believe, furnish
perfect-protection against any ordinary
effort to place spurious goods on the
market and renders any class of fraud
almost certain of detection. Already,
under its operation, honest errors made
by manufacturers in sacking goods have
been discovered and the mistakes recti
fied to the advantage of the farmers.
The provisions of the new law are
such that the manufacturer or dealer
who sells goods below the state standard,
places himself in danger of rendering
void all transactions for the year, and of
having the state prohibited for subse
quent sales. The opportunities and
chances for detection are so great that
no dealer or manufacturer would risk
the great loss entailed by discovery of
illegitimate sales for the sake of the
benefits that would be derived from
fraudulent transactions. That act totally
abolishes all inspections in hulk, and all
inspections are made after the goods
leave the hands of the manufacturer or
dealer. Briefly stated, it provides that
all manufacturers or dealers must regis
ter the guaranteed analysis of the brand
of a fertilizer they sell or propose to
offer for sale. This guarantee is placed
on record in the office and is also
branded on the sack, that purchasers
may ascertain without difficulty the
standard up to which the goods "must
come. In order to maintain a high
standard, the law also requires all am-
moniated goods to contain two per cent,
of ammonia, with a total of eight per
cent? of available phosphoric acid and
potash. To give further protection, and
to better enable purchasers by name
and without reference to the guarantee-
to. know something of the goods pur
chased, I passed an order, under the
power conferred by the hill, requiring
all fertilizers offered for registration,
inspection or sale branded as either of
the following : Ammoniated • Super
phosphate, Ammoniated Dissolved Bone,
Ammoniated Guano, Guano, Fertilizer,
or in other words, implying that the
same is an ammoniated superphosphate.
The guaranteed analysis must claim
thatit contains not less fhati two per
cent, of ammonia (actual or potential).
After registration the manufacturer
or dealer may order as many tags as he
iees proper, specifying upon what brand
or brands they are to be used. These
tags are now, more properly speaking,
registration tags, as they do not signify
that the fertilizer has been actually
sampled, hut only that tjie conditions
jrecedent to selling or offering for sale
lave been complied’with. .‘When the
As your Excellency is aware, through
the Executive Department, and direct
to this department, many complaints
have been made by letter, and in cases
of alarm, by telegram, of glanders
among stock in the state. Our laws
make no provision for such cases, and
through your Excellency I would re
spectfully call the attention of the
General Assembly to the necessity of
providing some means to snppress and
prevent the spread of this loathsome
disease, without deeming it proper in
this report to suggest the method. When
it has been within the power of the de
partment, without too great an ex
penditure, cases have been investigated,
but with no power to act beyond the
investigation, and with no means at the
command, of the department, except
what has been saved from the general
fund appropriated to the department by
economy in other directions, I feel that
the department is unequipped to handle
the matter and to prevent the spread of
the disease now in its infancy, and, in
case of an emergency, to do what would
he necessary to prevent a disastrous de
struction of our stock. So far, a wil
lingness on the part of those who own
diseased animals to destroy them for the
benefit of the community has been
shown; hut should the owner of one
affected animal conclude not to permit
it to he killed, it is difficult to say to
what extent the disease might spread.
At the last session of the general as
sembly, Mr. Chappell, from Laurens
county, introduced a bill providing for
compensation when glandered stock was
killed; hut that measure did not meet
with the approval of a majority of the
house, and failed to pass. Competent
veterinarian surgeons are of the opin
ion that nearly, if not all, the cases
found in the state are brought in by
Texas stock, and, maintaining this
view, a number of states have enacted
quarantine regulations against such
stock, requiring its inspection. The
fact that this disease not only destroys
stock, but also endangers human life, to
my mind furnishes sufficient argument
why legislative action of some charac
ter should he taken. Again, chronic
cases of glanders may remain in a com
munity for months, spreading many
cases of the disease in its acute form
without its source being discovered.
Such conditions evidently demand an
investigation by a surgeon who thor
oughly understands his work.
experiment station.
In many quarters complaints have
been made against the station on the
ground that the expenditures were too
great for the amount of good done.
These complaints are generally based on
the supposition that the fund that sup
ports the station is appropriated by the
state, when, in fact, it is derived from
the general government, and it does
not appear to me reasonable that any
part of our people should wish not to
receive, or permit the farmers to re
ceive, the benefit from an appropriation
made by the United States. As re
quired by law, the essential part of the
work of the station has been reproduced
in the reports of this department. That
many of these experiments are valuable
there can he no doubt, if the results
of systematic culture and fertilization
of varions character* are of any benefit
to the farmer. Th.~ many are unable
to avil themselves of the benefit of the
experiment is doubtless true, but the
lessons taught remain th%aame. The
commissioner of agriculture^ ex officio
chairman of the board of directors of
the station. The board, which is ap
pointed by your excellency, is made up
of successful farmers from each con-'
gressional district in the state. The
efforts of these gentlemen have been to
make the station beneficial to every class
of farmers, and to illustrate to our
farmers what can he done in certain
branches of agriculture. As the head
of the department, my voice in the
affairs of the station is only impera
tive in case of a disagreement resulting
tie between the other directors,
but the present policy of conducting the
station has been agreed upon after gen
eral consultation among the directors,
The establishment of a dairy and the ex
periments in tobacco I especially advo
cated, as tending to show the capabili
ties of Georgia outside of our previous
agricultural policy. The line now being
jursued will, I believe, result in great
lenefit, and I hope our farmers will en
deavor to profit by the experience of the
farm established for their benefit.
A word in this report as to the way
in which the station was established
may not be amiss. The land was do
nated by the people of Spanding county,
and the state has appropriated $15,000,
expended principally for improvements
of a permanent character, as the
government appropriation permits only
a small portion of its annual appropria
tion to he nsed for that purpose. The
ten thousand dollars came out of the
fees arising from the inspection of ferti
lizers. and so was no addition to the
general tax. The station is operated and
maintained by $15,000 annually set aside
by congress for that purpose.

INSPECTION OF OILS.
The change in the law in regard to the
fees of oil inspectors furnishes a source
of revenue from these inspections'. The
object of the law is to prevent the sale
of .oil and other explosive substances of-
so low. a grade that life and property
would be endangered. In addition to
this the department has been able to
secure oil of a better bnnAg- quality
where poor oil has been shipped in the
state.
SEED.
The object and aim of the department
in sending out seed is not as some sup
pose, simply to furnish seed for ordi
nary farm and garden purposes, but to
encourage the/use of veil selected seed;
test the value of different varieties,
direct the attention of the fanners to
other branches of agriculture, so that
whether certain crops can be grown
; profitably can be ascertained, and to
: ntroduce seed that have been tested and

every boy and girl who has not seen this
charming magazine to send ns seven one-
