THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT ITS
ADAPTABILITY TO SOIL OF
SOUTH GEORGIA.
WOULD BE A PAYING CROP
Starch Factories Would Be Started
and These Would Pay Good
Prices For Product.
Cassava is another important product
that can be profitably raised in South
Georgia. Professor Stockbridge of the
Florida Experiment Station says that
this plant furnishes an excellent feed
for stock as well as for man. There are
two species of the plant—one known as
the sweet, the other as the bitter cassava.
The former is the one so highly recom
mended by Professor Stockbridge.
The sweet cassava, which is already
cultivated to a considerable extent in
Florida, has this supreme advantage
over the other species (the bitter): that
it can be fed to stock in its natural state
without risk of harm, but with great
advantage. It is also a very palatable
table vegetable. It has five-parted
leaves and longer roots, but generally
much lighter in weight than those of the
bitter cassava, which is such an impor
tant article of commerce in Brazil and
other South American countries.
The bitter cassava should never be
used for stock, because its sap contains
the highly poisonous hydrocyanic acid.
But this plant is also a very important
one in South America. Heat dissipates
the poisonous principle, and the concen
trated juice is used as the basis of cassa-
veep and other sauces, while from the
sliced and dried roots are produced sev
eral food preparations, as Brazilian ar
rowroot, tapioca, etc.
Let it be remembered that it is the
sweet cassava that is so highly recom
mended for South Georgia. Mr. L O.
Wade of the Southern Bail way com
pany, who has been to considerable
pains in investigating the adaptability
of this plant to South Georgia soil, is sat
isfied that it will grow as well in Geor
gia as in Florida. In comparison with
other starch vegetables one acre of South
Georgia land will produce 4,000 pounds
of starch, while the best corn or potato
land in Illinois or Michigan ean produce
only 1,200 pounds of starch to the acre
from these vegetables.
Whenever a sufficient amount of
cassava has been planted, starch facto
ries will be started, and it has been esti
mated that these will pay five dollars a
ton loaded on the cars at any station
within 100 miles of their factory. Oas-
sara is easily propagated by cuttings of
the stem and is of rapid growth, attain
ing maturity in six months. The pro
duction is at least sixteen times that of
wheat.
The introduction of these new indus
tries will greatly add to the population
and wealth of Georgia.—-State Agri
cultural Department.
We note some good suggestions in a
late bulletin issued from the Experi
ment station Manhattan, Kansas. The
horse, cow or sheep will do well and
! thrive on good pasture in spring and
: summer alone. But if this grass be
; cut and cured into good hay and fed
: alone “to the animals they will lose
I their appetites in a short time and be-
; come thinner and will cease to look
| well. Cause? The hay is a dry, while
the grass is a succulent feed. Berne-
|dy: Grow some suceulent feed for the
• -winter.
I After corn silage, we would suggest
roots as_ perhaps the next best succulent
feed for winter use. One of the best of
j root feeds is the mangel wurzels. Su-
| gar beets have been grown successfully
j by only a few Georgia farmers, so far
1 as we know. Mangels can be grown
! profitably, in our climate, provided a
good rich soil, with plenty of moisture,
is selected. Prepare an acre of land as
' you would a garden, and dropping the
■ seed as you plant garden beets, in rows
I 30 inches apart. Six pounds of seed are
•! required for an acre. The long red
! mangel yields most, but it is not a good
1 keeper. The golden tankard will keep
i until June. Cultivate as you do com.
i Thin with a hoe to one plant every six
inches in the row.
The mangels are good to aid in fat
tening your hogs; make your cows
give rich milk, help the calves get
through the winter and spring. Try an
acre. Should be planted from the mid
dle of March to the 10th of April, not
later.—State Agricultural Department.

Dr. Wiley’s Letter.
Dr. John M. McCaxdless, State Chem
ist, Atlanta, Ga.:
Dear Doctor McOandless—I accord
you, with pleasure, the permission to
publish my analysis of the Georgia
wheats in any way you may see fit.
In regard to the statement previously
made, in some of our bulletins, that the
southern wheats were the poorest in the
United States, I desire to say this state
ment had reference entirely to the con
tents of nitrogen and gluten in such
wheats. Experience ana research have
shown that the longer a wheat grows
the more tendency is shown to develop
starch at the expense of gluten.
It is well known that the spring
wheats, which mature in three or four
months, contain larger relative quanti
ties of gluten than the winter wheats
which grow seven or eight months. The
analyses which I have made of the
Georgia wheats certainly show that
there are localities in Georgia where the
gluten and nitrogen contents of the
wheat, which I presume is winter wheat,
oempare favorably with similar wheats
grown much further north.
Therefore the statement previously
made should be modified as indicated
above and should not be made general of
all localities in the Southern states.
You are also at liberty to use this
statement in the publication of the ana
lyses. Sincerely,
H. W. Wiley, Chemist

Advantages Possessed by Georgia.
Fine farms, improved or unimproved,
win be had in Georgia cheaper than in
the North and West. The climate is
not only pleasanter, but also more
healthful.
Secretary Wilson, of the United States
Department of Agriculture, in a late in
terview, said: “The South has marked
advantages over the North with regard
to production. * * * The winters in
the South Eire mild; grasses, grains and
legumes can be sown in the fall, which
grow abundantly through the winter
and upon which the dairy cow and the
mutton sheep may graze and thrive.
The South can prepare the spring lamb
much earlier than the North can.
•fChe Southern landowner under
stands horse-raising. There is always a
greater demand for saddle horses than
is supplied. The world wants carriage
*ad draft horses and good roadsters.
“Early spring chickens—the broilers—
can be produced down there, because
they have milder winters and milder
springs. Should the market become
overstocked, we can send this product
abroad in the refrigerated compartments
of our steamships. ”
If throughout the above quotation
from Secretary Wilson the word “Geor
gia” be substituted for “South” and
“Southern,” the statements made by
him will be equally applicable.—State
Agricultural Department.
“The Noblest Avocation of Man.”
'Such the old Bomans called agricult
ure. From the plow Cincinnatus was
called to the helm of state at a time of
imminent peril, and throughout the days
of the republic and the early and better
times of the empire orators, statesmen
and poets cultivated fields, gardens and
orchards, and wrote beautiful essays
and poems about fields, fruits, flowers
and bees.
In the old time days before the civil
war some of our most successful farm
ers were retired merchants and eminent
lawyers and statesmen. It seemed in
those days to be the ambition of men to
acquire money in mercantile pursuits
and in the learned professions that they
might have money with which to buy
land, and spend the evening of life in
peaceful retirement on a well stocked
and well cnlcivated farm. They had
not the advantage of the improved im
plements of today, but they used the
best then known.—State Agricultural
Department.
Cow Peas For the Table.
Of course every farmer in Georgia
knows the excellence of the pea vine for
hay and as a restorer of wornont soil,
and he is also familiar with the cow
pea as a nutritious food for the milch
cow. The cow pea is also_ much used
for the table and some varieties, as the
black-eyed pea and Crowder pea, are
very palatable. —-State Agricultural De
