His Monthly Talk with the Farmers
. ’ of Georgia.
One or Two PlAiD'Trutha..
BY HOY. R. T. NESBITT, COMMISSIONER OB
AGRICULTURE OF GEORGIA.
From the November Southern Culivator.
I know what I am about to say willnot
at first be pleasant, or perhaps accepta
ble, to the majority of farmers, but
when thinking men analyze these plain
truths, they will pardon their first dis
agreeable impression, for the sake of
the kernel of good that lies in them. I
■ do not claim originality in presenting
them, they'have been repeated hundreds
of times, and the principles underlying
them are as old as the hills themselves,
but the tug icy of our present needs
demands that they should be impressed
again and again upon the minds of our
v farmers,
Farming, all things considered, js the
best business on earth, and the safest,
where the farmer gives the same. atten
tion to his work that the doctor, the
lawyer, the merchant bestows on liis;
but under our present management it is
actually cheaper for a farmer to buy
cotton, than it is for, him to raise it!
And this is the crop on which we expend
all our enegies, all our means, and on
which we depend for our income.
To the owner of -land, this condition
is deplorable, but to the farmer, who
rents land and borrows money, or pro
visions to make cotton, it is-ruinous.
When wc examine into the causes
which has led to this distressing and
almost general agricultural condition,
we find among other mistakes, two of
greatest prominence. The first is,, that
we have depended too much on common
fertilizers and too little on green crops
and home manures. The history of agri
culture throughout the world shows that
in those countries where commercial
fertilizers are relied on exclusively or
even mainly to produce crops, poverty
and want have resulted, while in
countries where it is used in conjunction
with thorough preparation of the land,
that is a preparation, which puts' the
land in condition to utilize the fertilizer.
prosperity and riches, even, have-blessed
the farmer’s intelligent efforts.
It is beyond contradiction that a man
cannot permanetly enrich his land with
glianos alone. They produce an artific
ial stimulus, but they do not build it up.
This “building up” must be done by-
green crops, and by compost applied
broadcast over the land. The common
' practice of running a furrow, drilling in
a little commercial fertilizer, covering
and planting on that, is possitively up
benefit to the land, and often proves of
little benefit to the crop. And this is
not from any fault of the guano, the
failure most frequently comes from our
mistaken manner of using it. A most
important lesson, which we have got to
learn is, that we cannot afford to use
expensive fertilizers, unless by means of
these, renovating crops and deep plow
ing, we put our lands in condition to ap
propriate to the best advantage that
large proportion of these fertilizers,
which is now wasted. Our lands once
brought to this condition wo need not
• fear to fertilize heavily. The renovating
process is “slow and tedious,” but until
we nerve ourselves to this task, and
undertake it eamestly‘and systemati
cally, we cannot hope for agricultural
prosperity.
This process of renovation is also
costly, but it is not more so than the
present plan of planting large areas,
hastily prepared and imperfectly cnlti-
, vated. And in the end the “building
up” plan is far more certain, far more
remunerative.
' Just here is suggested to our minds
the second grave error, that is,-planting
large areas in the uncertain, “slip-shod”
manner which has characterized our
methods for many years, in other words,
undertaking to plant more land than we
thoroughly manage. There are thous
ands of acres throughout the State,
winch do not begin to pay for the cost
of cultivation. Leave these to the kindly
offices of Mother nature, select only
your best land, and apply, there all the
energy, all the manure, which has here
tofore been too much diluted by fho
“spreading” process,
What we need is concentration. If
our last season’s 9,000,000 bales had
been made on half the land which was
used to make that crop, and the othor
half had been applied to- improved
methods of raising corn, wheat, oats,
grass and stock, how many millions of
money that escapes through our fingers,
would have been retained at homo, and
bo now adding to our prosperity?
The big farms of the northwest have
not as a rule proved permanently profit
able. The most prosperous communities
are where the farms are moderate in
size, highly cultivated and occupied by
' intelligent an j industrious families, who
take pleasure and prido in their business
and surroundings.
To make the cotton producers of the
south the richest and most independent
people of the globe, they have only to
cultivate less land in cotton, cultivate it
better, that is, bring it to the highest
state of cultivation possible and put the
remainder in diversified crops, cultivated
on the same plan.
Blatters of Geuoral Interest to tho Varmer,
The following extracts from the
exchanges of the Department of agri
culture, do we believe contain sound
advice and information of value to
farmers.
CLOVER AS A FERTILIZER, SUITED BEST
’ TO MIDDLE AND NORTH GEORGIA'
The clover plant yields the nicest ma
nures, aud that is the stuff that most
‘ farmers most need. Clover gives good
wheat, corn, meat, milk and the cheapest
. and best of all fertilizers. Wheat and
clover should take the place of weeds
- and sassafras hashes.
I look back over fifty years, and make
a note of the fact that the farms of this
locality on which clover has been grown
with the greatest regularity, are today
tho farthest from exhaustion. Clover is
such a help in solving the problem of
available plahtfood, that I believe it to
be a work of benevolence to help in the
management of it.
There is one blunder, almost universal,
which I believe largely reduces the value
of clover, both for feed, seed and fertility,
and this is the universal habit of pastur
ing young clover as soon as the wheat is
out of the field. I do not think it is
even a wise policy to pasture for a
month or six weeks after harvest, and
believe it better to lay down a rule never
to pasture the first fall under any circum
stances. This rule I have followed for
twenty years., and believe that I have
been the gainer by it.
As a recapitulation of this article, or
rather to enforce it, I say sow clover
with all small grain, no matter what
crop is to follow it. Use plenty of seed;
it is the cheapest way -of fertilizing and
keepingyohrland clean at yonr command.
Do not be so greedy for a little feed as
to pasture the young clover before it
has made growth enough to cover
the land, for by so doing you will in
the lond run have much less
feed and less benefit to the land. Re
member that a soil "densely shaded is,
always improved, and that no other crop
yon can grow will furnish as good shade
as clover. •
HOW AND WHEN TO SOW CLOVER.
September is the best month in wlfich
to sow clover; October is probably the
noxt*best; if not sown before the last of
October it is better to wait until Feb
ruary. It is not considered the best-
practice, by the most experienced clover-
growers in the southern'border of the
clover-growing section,‘to sow the seeds
with small grain. _ Success is more
certain "when clover is sown by itself or
with some other grass, like orchard,
bine grass, etc. If you sow in February
we would advise not to sow with oats or
other grain. There is no advantage to
he gained in breaking the land earlier
than a week or twobefore sowing,unless
it may be necessary to break earlier in
order to get it into good condition, The
order to get it into goou comuuuu, ± no
soil should be ivell.pulverized and har
rowed smooth. Sow about _ twelve
pounds of clover-seed per acre, if sown
by itself; if with orchard grass, use
eight or ten pounds of .clover "and one
and one-half bushels of orchard grass
seed. "While the surface is mellow and
fresh from recent, harrowing, mix the
clover seed with ashes or sifted soil, or
with a good fertilizer, and. sow half one
way ana half the other, so as to get a
uniform distributionr, then sow the
.orchard grass, or other grass seed, in the
1 same way. No covering, by plow,brush,
or harrow, is necessary, the next rain
will cover sufficiently. If the soil is not
rich enough to bring a half a hale of
cotton, or twenty-five bushels of corn
per acre, it -would be well to fertilize it,
using not less than two hundred pounds
of good ammoniated phosphate.
FARMING A SCIENCE.
Farming, is a real science, and not
mere plowing and dropping seed in the
ground: any negro can do that, but to
sow and plow with judgement, to under
stand the law of nature, and to take
advantage of these laws means success.
When a farmer says—“it is too much
trouble, I have not the time,” I know
how to gage his judgement. Whatever
will give or advance prosperity in any
business, there is always a time to do
that thing.
ADOPT BUSINESS METHODS.
Of many remedies one worth trying is
business. That old saw, business is
business, contains a world of meaning;
it is fully of sound common sense.
Every farmer ought to be a first-rate
business man. In this age he must be
or he will fail as sure as fate. Show me
a farmer who has no head for business
and yoo will point to'a man who' is on
the road to ruin.
But what do we mean by first-rate
business man? Is the farmer who pro
duces abundant crops, of the best quality,
at the least cost, a good business man?
Not necessarily ; such a man is undoubte
dly a good farmer; but he might be at
the same time a poor business man.
There are a large number of farmers
in the country who year after year pro
duces abundant crops, of the best quality
and at the least cost, and yet grow
poorer and poorer the longer they live,
because they are not good business
managers.
The pecuniary success of farming, as
to every other "business, depends not so
much upon production of abundance of
products, of the best quality, at the
feast cost, important as this may be, as
it does upon the proper answer to the
questions. What shall we produce, in
what quantities, when shall it be pro
duced and how, when, where and for
what price, and to whom shall it be
sold?
WHY NOT RAISE YOUR OWN WORK
^ ANIMALS.
The following* from The Southern
Cultivator shows that at 8 cents per
pound, Georgia pays 100,000 bales of
cotton for horses and mules. Can our
farmers prosper and. pursue this course?
■‘A careful estimate reveals the fact
that most of the counties in middle
Georgia have for long years, paid, i:
actual cash, from eighteen to thirt;
thousand dollars, annually, for mules
and horses brought from the west.
Striking a low average from the entire
state, we find between three and four
million dollars taken from the state for
stock that could be raised for a nominal
sum upon our own fields. What stup
endous folly, when it is conceded on all
hands that our stock can be raised at
less cost than in the markets from
which we buy. Grass grows as freely;
our soil produces forage as abundantly;
our winters are far less rigorous and
the necessary case, therefore, less ex
pensive. Every thing is favorable to
the enterprise; wisdom and economy
urge the undertaking. Every farmer
sbonld raise, at least, the stock need 1
upon his farm. It- greatly helps the
general good to hold annual colt shows,
Doth as an evicence of progress .and an
encouragement to others.
USE MORE FERTILIZERS.
The farmers of the south do not use
enough manure, or to state it in a dif
ferent form, they take from the soil
every year very much more than they
return to it in manure. It is easy to
show, that fertilizers pay better divi
dends than aqy other investment on the
farm. The conclusion is irresistiblefflit
we should use more fertilizers ; not com
mercial or bought fertilizers alone, but
homo manures, composts, green crops
turned under, marls, etc., everything
that will add more to the yield of the
crop than the cost of its application.
To have an abundance of stable or
barnyard manures there must be an in
crease in the number of animals fed.
This gives diversity to the farm and in-
fcreases the sources of income. A well
fed cow will nearly pay for her keep in
manure, besides a good profit on the
butter sold and consumed.
A GOOD MAXIM FOR FARMERS.
Raising cotton on poor land does not
pay. I cannot afford to raise cotton in
fees quantities- than one bale per acre,
and m order to bring my land up to
that point must make manure, and tho
cheapest is that made from stock raised
on a farm.
acres. Always in the < grass, ground,
badly plowed,;-everything to buy that
he should have raised, and though he
works harder longer, and wears him-,
self out," he is- a - failure, and grows
poorer and poorer every year, . Far bet
ter to make one acre, well manured,
prodnce tliirty bushels of com Sr a "bag
of cotton, than three acres half cultivated
with all the wear and tear, to get thirty
bushels or one bag".- The saving of
•labor is making money.
Whatever yon do, do well, and not
try to .do tod much. First calculate
how much yqu can do, and what ft will
pay yon to do it. Then let judgment
he your every day monitor to JtSep out
wild dreams of speculation,' dver. san
guine expectations, and hope without
reason to hack it.

K
The “old beaten track” is not always
the best. The “old beaten track” is
not the one that will always lead us
moSt quickly, or oven most surely, to
success in agriculture. New ideas aud
new methods have come up in every
branch of farm practice during recent
years, and many of them have already
been tried and found good. A preju
dice in favor of old ways should not
keep one from being progressive. Read,
study and keep np witll times.
* * ' * * * * • * *
Farmers cannot prosper as long
as they are compelled to sell their
cotton or starve. The situation is an
unfortunate one for our farmers, but
they can improve it very much here
after by their own efforts. They can
never command the situation so long as
they must sell their cotton or starve.
They can command it when they can
live without selling and sell only to
realize profits. The increase in the pro
duction of food crops on southern farms
shows a tendency in the right direction.
It is a tendency which no rise in the
price of cotton should stop. If it con
tinues long enough it will make the pro
duction of cotton again profitable and
our farmers prosperous.
