INCURABLE
A Strange Malady Which Eminent Physicians
Failed to Understand or Master.
From the Republican, Scranton, Penna.
A reporter recently learned of a remark
able experience which happened to Mrs.
Frederick Braig, of North Wyoming Ave
nue, Scranton, Pa. In the interview Vith
her, she said: “ I suffered for many months
with pains in my back and side. I called in
all the physicians whom I knew; they did
that I
all they could for me, but admitted
oould not be cured. None of them seemed
to know just what my ailment was, and doc
tored. me for different diseases, hut failed to
benefit me.
“ Instead of getting better I became worse,
and was obliged to leave my work and re
main at home. The pains became more
severe, and it was not long before I was
obliged to go to bed, and was unable to leave
it for several mouths. I was very weak and
suffered severe pains almost constantly, in
the meanwhile doctoring all the time.
“At that time I was staying at the home
of my father, Mr. Van Gorden, at 608 Marion
street, this city. I grew worse steadily and
was almost helpless.
“One day a neighbor came to see me and
told me of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People. My father was going down to the
central part of the city that afternoon, and
I asked him to get a box of the pills. He
brought home a box that evening and I be

some and I decided to get another. After
taking the second box 1 felt much better,
and after taking the third I was able to get
up and be about. Before I had taken the
fourth box 1 was able to go back to my
work, and felt as well as I had ever felt in
my life.

I do not think that it is necessary to take
them as often as I did, bnt I take them
periodically, and find that they keep me

fully say that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for

the usual progress made in this direction
dnri “g last month. Under these cir
cumstances it is a fixed fact that all
crops of 1899 must be planted much
later than usual.
Even with the com crop in South and
Southwest Georgia, most of the usual
planting in February was extended to
March, while much of the March work
of the corn crop in Middle, North and
Northeast Georgia, will of necessity, he
carried into April this year. But late
planting with deep and thorough prepa
ration at the start, is much better than
slipshod work and planting at an ear
lier period. Every intelligent farmer
knows that more than half the work
is done, t in making, when a crop is put
in after this kind of preparation. But
there is one other reason why late plant
ing and deep-and thorough preparation
of soil should go together this year,
which I submit to your reflection.
I refer to a fixed natural law that
regulates the labor of farmers through
out the world, and enables them to turn
the sunshine and rain God sends ns to
their own profit.
It is this: That the mean annual rain
fall in any given locality, whether 10
inches or 110 incUes a year, does not
vary much, .either in any given year or
series of years.
In most of tho states east of tho
Mississippi, we have had an excess
of rainfall, commencing last August
and perhaps ending with February, for
this reason the possibility or perhaps
probability of a drouth more or less
protraoted during the growing season of
the coming crop would seem to be in
dicated; an additional reason why deep
and thorough preparation and late
planting should go together, both in
corn and cotton this year. Every weak
point in every terrace on the farm
should be looked after and repaired so
that rains that do fall during the com
ing months of crop maturing will be
consumed and ntilized by the growing
crop. With perfect terraces, deep prepa
ration and shallow culture afterwards,
growing crops will be exempt from
drouths when compared to lands that
are unterraced.
We have now arrived at the cotton
planting month of April, the most
critical in the history of the entire
state, because on her agricultural pros
perity. all other interests hinge or rest,
either languish or prosper, upon the
decision of the farmers of Georgia
dnring this month touching the re
duction in acreage as well as in fer
tilizers of at least one-third from
that used the last two years, not only
in Georgia, but in all the other states
east of the Mississippi, and as substan
tial a reduction in the acreage of the
cotton states west of it. The imperative
necessity for the reduction will be seen
by a short glance at the crops of 1898
and 1899.
The crop of 1897 was 8,750,000 bales,
and sold for from 7 to 8 cents. The
crop of 1898 was 11,200,000, and this dis
astrous crop brought less than $11,000,000
more than the crop of 1897. In other
words, 2,500,000 bales of the crop of the
1898 crop were sold at 4.50per bale, weigh
ing 507 pounds; so much for making more
cotton than the world needs, and allow
ing the cotton spinners of Manchester
to set the price owgw entire crop, and
the loss sustained on the present crop
is much greater than on that of 1898, as
many millions of it were sold at 3 cents,
and 6ome of it even less than this.
There is now more than cotton enough
assured to supply the world’s needs the
present year, or until next September.
I know that the farmers of Georgia
have been surfeited with newspaper
advice in the management of thoir own
business for years, bnt in 'this, instance
yon are advised by one who will do
more than practice the precepts here in
culcated, both in the reduction of his
own acreage devoted to cotton, as well
as the quantity of fertilizers used by
him this year.
Georgia made more cotton, than both
the Carolinas in-1898:and' inannfaotured
less of it than either, : while the two
Oarolinas united consumed the entire
crop of North Caroiina and reduced the
cotton crop of Sonth. Carolina 120,000
bales in 1898.- Georgia uses one-fourth
of all the fertilizers used from Maryland
and Virginia to Louisiana, including
that used on the wheat of the first and
the sugar cane of the last I She has
taken the lead in the “all cotton’’ craze
folly. Forthe past two years, until tha
meshes of the spider web mortgages
woven around her hospitable homes by
the crop of 1898 that brought disastet
and nrin to very many, have redoubled
their meshes on very many more in
1899.
Bnt Georgians have an almoBt infii-
nite power of active potential endur
ance and energy, and their helpmeets
! are in every way worthy of them ii
their work were shown to them.
A farmer near Atlanta brought 100
the f6ta.il trade, a sum equal to seven
bales of cotton at S cents! They cost
absolutely nothing but care and protec
tion while yonng. They live on insects,
bugs and plenty of corn, and corn nevei
ought to be sold off the farm in Georgia
until after it has been fed to pigs and
with Georgia far in the lead. We have
tried .. faithfully to make this matter
plain in cold facts and figures, and the
necessity of raising not only an opulent
abundance bnt a superabundance of all
food snpplies for man and beast, not
merely for home consumption on the
turkeys, worth 6 and 12 cents a pound,; farm, bnt for every prodnee of the farm
at least, dressed. The cotton hales cost! tha * lg| a 8 P°*

The farmer fancies that the bagging these have been indicated by ns, because
pays for itself, bnt there is a tare of 22
pounds deducted on all cotton exported
—deducted from the price of every-bale
of cotton, whether consumed at home
or in Europe.
A half million turkeys raised by the
tional products that will bring them the
hard cash for himself.
The farmers of Georgia are the poor
est people in the state, I mean the cot
ton raising farmer. A woman cotton
mill hand can make $80 to $40 per
month, and has more money than the
farmers’ wives will be a labor of pleas-1 average farmer has seen the past two
; fine turkeys here lately and sold them
for cash as quickly as cotton for $105 to 1
nre, leaving three-fifths for home con
sumption and two-fifths for the market
Dressed' turkeys can be sold in the
cities at from 10 to 15 cents per pound
through the winter and early spring
months, and paid for on delivery, by
using systematic business methods. Ev
ery city, town and village will furnish
a market for them.
The freight on sneh. products would
be from 10 to 15 cents per 100 pounds
from any county to any city in Georgia.
Why should Georgia depend upon
Tennessee for her dairy and poultry
products, and on the west for nearly all
of her mutton, beef and pork snpplies?
The only answer to this is that the cot-
tonjtrodncers of Georgia have been ex
pending their entire energies on cotton
for two years past, ranch to their own
sorrow, and have had no energies to ex
pend on any other product of the soil.
A half million bushels of sweet potatoes
can be disposed of in the same way at a
stipulated price before shipment, and
spot cash on delivery, and millions more
for home consumption, as well as to fat
ten pork and poultry. They retail today
at $1 a bushel in Atlanta, and in almost
every other large city in the state, and
never sell below 50 cents, and farmers
would not be compelled to market them
at the lowest price, as they always are
with cotton.
It has been the custom for many years
for farmers’ wives to_have a “cotton
patch” to supply them with Christmas
cash for family necessities or luxuries,
bnt alas, like the large body of labor
who “work on shares,” nothing or next
to nothing has been left of their
“patches” after the picking and bag
ging wore paid for. This year let her
“cotton patch” be substituted with a
flock of 100 turkeys. She will find
pleasure in raising them and seeing
them grow up. At an average weight
of 10 pounds dressed they will net in
spot cash over $100, equal to four bales
of middling cotton at 5 cents on the
plantation, besides helping in a small
way to reduce the volume of Georgia
cotton that has well nigh ruined Geor
gia the past two years. By the end of
this month an approximate estimate of
the coming crop will be arrived at and
by the last of‘May the statisticians will -
be able to give the exact acreage in cot
ton planted, the amount of fertilizers
used, and on these two as basis give
their estimate of the coming crop in
bales for 1899 and 1900; the Neils
among them giving a large margin to
their guess work, in the interest of the
cotton manufacturers of the world, and
by this means robbing the cotton pro
ducers of the sonth, as they have done
in the crop of 1899. Already they are
boasting and assuming that the small
grain crops destroyed by the severe win
ter in Arkansas, west of the Mississippi,
as well as in Georgia and states east,
will now undoubtedly be planted or re
planted in cotton. If these predictions
come true in Georgia or Arkansas it
will be hailed as a snre omen for another
large 4-cent cotton crop, and irretrieva
ble ruin to the cotton producers. Bnt
we have an abiding faith in the cotton
producers of Georgia and we shall con
tinue to cherish it for one or two months
longer. Georgia farmers learn nothing
from didactic instruction, like school
children. The intelligence of the aver
age agriculturist is as broad and his
mind as clear as his city merchant
cousin. What he w*hts are cold facts
in plain language, and these he can deal
with and master as easily as they are
presented to him. Debt, debt, for many
years has pnt him in the position of the
most stubborn criminals a century
ago. When they were enclosed in a
tank, chained to a pnmp, and water ad
mitted at a ratio faster than he conld
pnmp it out, unless he worked with all
his might, with no volition of his own, he
was left for a given time to make his
choice between pumping and drowning,
the guards alike indifferent which he
preferred.
If he owed his creditors $1,000 they
never offered to take 1,000 turkeys for
the debt, nor 2,000 bushels of sweet po
tatoes; if they had selected the potatoes
he wonld have, taken 20 acres of his best
land, planted it with this “apple of the
earth,” worked at it with the irresist
ible and untiring energy of a Georgian,
shipped the 2,000 bushels promptly on
time to lift the mortgage, and hank the
Other 2,000 carefully for the spring
market, at 75 cents per bushel.
Bnt his creditors accept cotton only
on all debts dne them. All other agri
cultural products are valueless. Cotton
alone brings spot cash, say they, and
yet the sonth in past years has paid out
millions annually for snn cured grass
to feed the stock engaged in making
cotton to glnt the cotton markets of the
world with. We have already shown
the utter impossibility of the farmer
ever being able to cancel that $1,000
mortgage with cotton, by the actual
«ale of seven bales at 8 cents per pound,
counting only the actual cost of picking
and covering it, if to this were added
the cost of picking, chopping, hoeing
and cultivating, we leave others to com
pote how much of the net proceeds of
that seven hales would be left to credit
that $1,000 mortgage with.
Let those who blame even the all cot
ton farmer pnt themselves in his place.
All cotton producers in Georgia and in
all -the other old cotton states east of
the Mississippi have been too much on
toe “all cotton” plan iir the past years,
years. He has been trying to clothe
the world at his own private expense.
He sold in 1897 and 1898, 2,500,000 bales
of his best cotton at less than 1 cent a
pound. He has been doing even more
charitable deeds than, this in 1898 and
1899, bnt at heavy cost to himself and
family.
The facts are beforoyou; the remedy
is in yonr hands. If yon heed them
now the wrecks of the past two years
may still be repaired. Bnt if the farm
ers of Georgia are saved from hopeless
bankruptcy and ruin it can only come
to them by a reduction of the acrege in
cotton and in fertilizers devoted to the
production of cotton this year of at
least one-third of each.

Treatment of Fruit Trees Injured by
the February Freeze.
Question.—To what extent did the
February freeze injure the fruit trees of
Georgia, and is there any treatment for
frozen trees?
Answer. — The unprecedented cold
wave that swept over the state last Feb
ruary greatly injured frnit trees in
many sections of the state, and it is
highly important that such trees should
be properly treated at once, that the
damage may be overcome as much as
possible.
Peaches, plums and figs have suffered
most, while apples and pears seem to
be very little damaged. Of the peaches,
the Alexanders and Tillotsons are the
most injured. All of the. other varie
ties are greatly damaged, but to a less
extent
In a great many cases the Satsnma
plum was nearly killed to the ground,
while the Abundance and most of the
other varieties are not so -much dam
aged. The damage seems to be confined
almost entirely to the bearing trees.
Yonng trees from nursery stook to 2 year
orchard trees have escaped with little
damage. Unfortunately the principal
injury is to the trunk of the trees. The
hast tissues and the cambium layer of
the bark are frozen and blackened from
the surface of the ground np to 12
inches or more, and in a few cases the
bark is loosened from the trees. Us
ually, however, there are about 2 or 3
inches of bark on one side of the tree
that escaped freezing. This green streak
of bark is usually found on the
sonth side of the tree. In some sections,
however, it is found on another side.
The twigs and limbs are apparently not
so badly damaged. The wood just be
neath the buds is browned, and some of
the twigs killed. In my opinion most
of these trees may recover and be re
stored to a fair condition. This, how
ever, is a question. Many will undoubt
edly die in the course of this summer.
Trees that were badly weakened from
the San Jose scale, or from the depre
dations of other insects, or from neglect
or otherwise, in most cases were killed
beyond a donbt and shonld be dng np at
once. The work of restoration can be
greatly aided by cutting the trees back
severely. Each grower mnst determine
for himself how much mnst be cut
away, according to the extent and the
location of the damage. As a rule, at
least one-third of the growth of the
limbs shonld be cut off. In a few cases
it will be wise to cut the limbs back -to
tnbbs about 24 inches. All badly dam
aged limbs shonld be taken out entirely.
This pruning will reduce the snrface to
be fed through the roots and will stim
ulate new growth of healthy wood. If
the tree lives at al!, it will regain rap
idly its vigor and re iop iself dnring the
growing season and be prepared for a
fruit crop next year. In doing this
work a smooth, clean cut shonld be
made with a saw or sharp pruning knife.
The cut surface shonld be painted over
with white lead to exclude the air and
S revent evaporation. This work should
ave been done in March. However,
it is not too late yet, and shonld be done
at once. Several prominent growers
have already commenced the work.
Prompt action in this work may save
yonr trees.
Neither shonld motivation be neglec
ted. The trees need the best of atten
tion now more than ever. Orchards
shonld he thoroughly cultivated dnring
the season as though yon expected a big
crop of frnit. If cultivation is neg
lected, a little hot sun and dry weather
will tell a doleful tale.
