Atlanta, July 1, 1898.
THE OAT CROP.
The drouth which has prevailed for
several weeks throughout the state is
said to be the most severe known, at
this season of the year, for 20 years.
The wheat crop, which is much heavier
than usual, escaped with comparatively
little injury, but the oat crop, particu
larly the spring planted fields, and more
especially those in which the seed 1 were
carelessly put in and imperfectly fertil
ized, has suffered severely—in some sec
tions of the state may be denominated a
total failure. We need no better illus
tration of the importance of thorough
preparation and fertilization than is
of these fall grain crops, but July is
none too early to plan for
for our wheat,
oats and rye fields. A pea stubble is a
firstclass beginning for either wheat or
oats, as both demand a full supply of
nitrogen. ,If rye is sown on the pea
stnbble it continues the work of reno
vation begun by the pea crop, and when
turned under in the spring lays the
foundation for bounteous crops of either
corn or cotton.'

tion of the soil before the seed are put
in. It has been fully demonstrated that
if we take the precaution of providing a
well stored reservoir in a deeply pre
pared seed bed, then when the demand
for moisture comes, and the growing
plants begin to droop for lack of neces
sary rain from above,. Mother Nature
will cojne to our rescue, and through
the power of capillary action -will pump
up from the reserve supply, which we
have stored in lower depths, the life-
giving, revivifying moisture so neces
sary for plant growth. Here we have
beautifully illustrated the manner in
which the intelligent farmer may, on
the very brink of failure, wrest
SUCCESS
from adverse circumstances. If ho has
studied na-tnre’s laws he knows that
when the upper soil becomes dry, if
there is a reserve supply of moisture
stored in the subsoil, the power of capil
lary action will draw it to the surface.
But his knowledge must not stop here.
He must also have learned that it is im
possible to keep this moisture in reach
of the growing plants if a crust is al
lowed to form and remain on the sur
face. When that crust remains and is
unbroken, no power can prevent the
evaporation of the moisture which comes
to the surface through the capillary
tubes. It is the farmer’s province and
privilege to so break up these tubes that
the moisture may be held in check and
in reach of the growing plants long
enongh for them to absorb its life giving
properties before they become dissipated
into the atmosphere. To do this he
must by constant
SHALLOW CULTIVATION
and in some places it has been difficult cially to the fanner, the gardener
to get water for any purpose. Of course and the horticulturist, but nothing
ep a thin mulch of finely pulverized
rfo
surface soil spread over his fields. The
man who thoroughly understands the
importance of this principle will never
allow a crust to remain on his land
longer than he can run a shallow, broad
furrow to break it up. The need of this
rapid work accentuates the importance
of wide cutting plows and expanding
cultivators.
JULY
has often been called the “pivotal
month,” because if the work is not
carefully planned and adjusted much of
our previous effort will count for nanght.
In “laying by” our crops we should re
member that the network of delicate
roots just beneath the surface perme
ates the entire field and that we should
he as careful to avoid injuring these as
we are to prevent the breaking and tear
ing of the leaves and stalks above the
ground.
DURATION OF CULTIVATION.
Plowing at' this season should be reg
ulated very much by the habits and
condition of the different crops. For
instance, work in the late maturing,
large growing varieties of cotton may
cease sooner than in the shorter limbed,
eafly maturing kinds, because when the
growth of these large varieties is thus
ohecked they begin to take on fruit,
which they would not do to the same
extent if their luxuriant leaf growth
were encouraged by continued cultiva
tion. On the other hand,if the smaller and
quicker maturing varieties are develop
ing favorably, a shallow center furrow,
even well into August, will be of bene
fit. We should always keep in mind
that the object of plowing at this sea
son is not to break the soil to any depth,
1 inoh is enough, but to keep down any
incipient weeds or grass, to check evap
oration and to promote the access of air
to the plant roots.
OTHER WORK FOR THE MONTH.
Peas for forage may be sown until
the last of July, and if encouraged by
an application of acid phosphate and
itash, will store up in the soil for our
tore use the third and most important
as well as most expensive element of
plant food—nitrogen. As we have time
and opportunity we should also decide
on our fall campaign, what crops we
will plant and what fields apportion to
each one. Any^uccessful
SYSTEM OF ROTATION
must recognize certain fixed laws. The
most important of these is that crops of
like growth and habits, extracting
the same elements of plant food
from the soil, in similar proportions,
Bhould not follow each other, but should
be succeeded by those which, while de
manding the same elements, will absorb
them under different conditions and in
different proportions, thus in a measure

the crop has suffered more or less under

OATS.
This crop has been a disappointment
to those who planted in the spring, the
want of rain rendering the crop, in
many cases, worthless. Fall planted
oats did very well, as a rule, though
they would have turned out better with
more rain in April. I again advise
farmers to plant at least half of their
oat crops in the early fall. The chances
of then: being winter-killed are less
than the chances of the spring oats
being ruined by a dry May.
WHEAT.
This crop has been harvested, threshed
and I hope sold. In many years the
state has. not made a better or more
abundant crop, and I trust that tho
farmers of the wheat section of Georgia
will feel encouraged by this year’s ex
perience to engage still more largely in
its cultivation. Since harvesting com
menced the price has steadily dropped,
but I trust that the wheat growers of
Georgia received not less than $1 a
bushel for their crops.
MINOR CROPS,
such as com, sorghum, sweet potatoes,
rice, etc., have all felt the had effects of
a hot, dry spring. General and abund
ant rains are required all over the state
to bring these crops out so that an aver
age yield may he expected. Gardens
and pastures have been badly injured in
every county in the state. Recent
showers have caused a little improve
ment in both, but general and heavy
rains are necessary to bring about any
marked improvement.
FRUIT.
Peaches and watermelons are being
marketed, and the prospect is good for
an abundant crop of each. Watermelons
■o far are small, for want of rain.
Peaches will be small also for the same
reason, and because of overbearing.
The berry crops have all been injured
by dry weather. Grapes promise to be
abundant. Apple crop poor.—State

Russia a Huge Farm.
Julian Ralph sums up his impres

“In a sentence, Russia is a huge
farm, comprising a seventh of the
land sm-face of the globe, and
twenty-sixth of its total area. It has
half a dozen men to manage it—ac
cording to the policy of one of the
six—and the people are divided into
ten millions of men and women of
the more or less comfortable, more
or less educated class, and 119,000,-
000 citizens, the mass of whom form
the dullest, rudest, least ambitious
peasantry of Europe. If one travels
over Russia to spy out the land, he
may go for days across it from west
to east without breaking the contin
uous view of a flat disk, whose only
variety lies between its farmed flat-
nes#and its Waste flatness, its squat,
shrinking, unkempt villages and its
sandy districts wooded with thin
birch or evergreens. Everywhere it
is new, rude and untidy.”
