WHERE A IiEADY MARKET MAY
BE ?RCUREI> FOR A CROP
OF WHEAT HAY.
ATLANTA MEN WILL TRY IT
Oraiu Dealers Will Sell It on Com
mission and Do Their Best
to Create a Demand.
Atlanta, Ga., May 25, 1901.
J. W. Harris, Jr., Gartersville, Ga.:
Dear Sir—Your favor of May 22 re
ceived, iu which you ask, “Where can
we find a market for 100 tons of wheat
bay?” This is rather a hard question to
answer. We have made some inquiries
from the wholesale grass and grain men
Atlanta to see if we could not induce
hem to take hold of this wheat hay and
put it on the market, that it might take
the place of timothy and otlj^r north
western grasses. They say that they
are perfectly willing to give this hay a
trial, and if you and other parties desire
to consign to them a few tons they will
sell it on commission and do the very
best in their power to create a market,
not only for wheat hay, but for other
good Georgia grasses, as Bermuda and
peavine. They say the reason why they
handle the northern grasses is that they
are uniform from month to month and
year to year, and that having huilt up a
considerable trade, not only in Atlanta,
but in the surrounding sections, with
these grasses, it is hard to break the peo
ple away from them. However, they
are willing, as we have said above, to
undertake to create a demand for o.ur
Georgia grasses, provided the Georgia
farmer will put on the market a uniform
grass,* baled in uniform bales, 100 pounds
each. ? >
The prices of wheat hay run from $15
to $18 per ton at LaGrange, where the
farmers in and around LaGrange have
built up a market for this very valuable
hay. Such men as George W. Truitt,
R. W. Milam, A. T. Dallis and A EL
Griffin have been growing this hay for
the past six years. These gentlemen
write our department that for years no
western hay has been sold in LaGrange,
but that this hay has been almost ex
clusively used by livery stable men,
lumbermen, merchants, and farmers
who are so thriftless as not to raise a
supply for themselves. We are satisfied
that you and a few other good farmers
in Bartow county could do the same
thing for Cartersville and Bartow that
these gentlemen have done for Troup
county; but you must understand that
this market cannot be created at once.
It will take some time to bring about
the results cited in Troup.
We might state in this connection
that Professor John M. McCandless,
our state chemist, will at an early date
analyze this wheat hay, comparing it
not only to other Georgia grasses but to
the northwestern grasses as well. These
analyses will be published in his com
mercial fertilizer bulletin No. 38, which
will be issued from this department
soine time in August. You understand
that these gentlemen claim the wheat
hay to be -a well balanced ration, taking
the place both of grass and grain. You
might write to A P. Morgan & Co.
and J. D. Frazier & Co., Atlanta, Ga.,
who deal very largely in hay and grain.
- Now as to curing the hay. Cut'the stalks
close to the surface of the ground while
the grain is in fairly good “dough”
state, so that when all is cured there
will be about half matured grains (iu
size). To wait later the straw would
become woody; to cut earlier would be
waste, in that weight and nutriment
would be wanting. Wheat hay is easily
cured, and comes in when you have barn
room and need a good, non-heating food
stock. Mow as you would all other grass,
but rake into windrows the afternoon of
the day the cutting is done. The fol
lowing day carry to the barn. If the
weather is clear and warm this is all
that is needed. In about ten days to
two weeks from the time the hay is put
in barn it can then be haled. The barn
curing, like the field curing, is quickly
over. Do not let your hay remain un
baled longer than two weeks, because it
loses not only its nutriment, but the
pleasant odor and beautiful color.
“The following were the ruling prices
of hay at LaGrange on May 1, 1901,”
writes A T. Dallis: “Wheat hay, $17
to $18 per ton; peavine hay, $12 to $11
per ton; Bermuda, $13 to $15 per ton;
Johnson grass, $8 to $10; Englisii vetch
and red clover (mixed), $12 to $14;
shredded corn stalks, $5 to $6 per ton.”
If you desire further information as
to wheat hay, write to the above par
ties at LaGrange, Ga., and any one of
them will take pleasure in answering
your letter.
Hoping this will be satisfactory, I am
yours very truly.—State Agricultural
Department.
The most important problem with
horse manure is to prevent it from
leaching. Some haul it to the field at
once and spread it. During the crop
' season, while the growing plants al
ready have all the fertilizers needed for
them, this manure can be profitably
used by spreading it upon the meadows
and pastures. In spreading manure
when the fields are bare it must he so
placed that rain will not leach out the
ammonia and other valuable materials.
If the manure cannot be taken to the
fields, a shed should be built in close
proximity to the stable and so construct
ed that the rains will not fall through
it, and. under this shed the manure
should be placed from day to day.
Manure from cattle can be treated in
the same way, though the matter of
keeping it from leaching is not so im
perative, as it does not heat so readily,
being known as cold manure. For this
reason it should not be used for hot beds
knd cold frames.
Where beef cattle are stall-fed and in
a lot or around a straw stack, when the
animals have been sent to market, the
‘manure can be put upon a spreader and
distributed over the fielda Some of these
spreaders will distribute the finest com
mercial fertilizer or the coarsest lot ma
nure filled with unrotted straw and fod
der. The work done by the spreader is
far better than that done by hand.
Dyspeptics cannot be long lived
because to live requires nourish
ment. Food is not nourishing
untill it is digested. A disorder
ed stomach cannot digest food, it
must have assistance. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure digests all kinds
of food without aid from the stom
ach, .allowing it to rest and regain
its natural functions. Its ele
ments are exactly the .same as the
natural digestive fluids and it
simply can’t help but to do you
good. Holtzelaw’s drugstore
Concerning Sugar Cane.
In a compilation of the comparative
value of field crops made by the Florida
Experiment Station, Lake City, Florida,
it is shown that sugar cane is by fair the
most productive crop for that state, and
that the next best paying crop is pea
nuts. Such also is the case on such
South Georgia lands as produce only
one bale of cotton to three acres, nine
and a half bushels of corn and nine of
oats to the acre. But there are large
stretches of very fertile land in Middle
and South Georgia which produce a
bale of cotton to the acre, from twenty-
five to thirty bushels of corn and oats to
the acre, and 300 bushels of potatoes.
On lands of this sort .there is not snch
a marked snperiority of sugar cane over
other crops. But with skillful manage
ment it holds its own with the best of
them, and is superior to most of tnem.
Therefore we conclude that sugar cane
is a great wealth producing crop and
that its cultivation will add greatly to
the prosperity of the farmers of South
ern Georgia as well as of our seaports,
Savannah and Brunswick. These cities
will need a large growth of the syrup
and sugar industries to take the place
of the lumber and naval stores business
which must grow; less in proportion as
the great pine forests are exhausted.
This may seem to many a worn out
theme, but the Department of Agricul
ture, realizing the supreme importance
of this great crop to the farmers of all
South Georgia, feels that it will be ex
cused for keeping this subject before the
minds of those most interested.
There are some very encouraging in
dications of growth in the syrup and
sugar industries. One of these is the
fact mentioned by Colonel L O. Wade,
land and industrial agent of the South
ern railway, that in Appling county,
where two years ago only 100 acres were
planted in sugar cane, there are now
1,600 acres devoted to it. Another is
that a company of Illinois capitalists,
believing that Georgia can produce as
good sugar as Louisiana, has purchased
over 50,000 acres of timber land in
Clinch county, intending to saw out the
lumber, and, after the land is sufficient
ly cleared, to build large sugar mills
and plant thousands of acres in cane.
One of the most indefatigable workers
in this cause is Captain D. G. Purse of
Savannah, and his efforts are heartily
seconded by that liberal-minded journal,
the “Louisiana Planter and Sugar
Manufacturer,” which gives encourage
ment to every scheme for the upbuilding
of the entire South. We are glad to see
that other journals besides those of
Georgia are taking an interest in what
so much pertains to the welfare of our
State.
The establishment of a sugar experi
ment station in the cane belt which was
recommended by the Brunswick con
vention has met with strong endorse
ment by the Brunswick Board of Trade,
which offers to furnish 500 acres for
that purpose, and by the Macon Cham
ber of Commerce which also urges upon
the Georgia legislature the passage of a
law for preventing the adulteration of
Georgia syrup.
This department is exceedingly anx
ious to see Georgia come to the front in
the sugar industry, without relaxing
any of her zeal for the other crops that
have been worth so much to her in the
past. Georgia already takes high rank
among her southern sisters in both ag
riculture and manufactures. We wish
to see her in the front rank in the
growth of every product for which her
soil is adapted. Nature has liberally
endowed her, and every true son of the
state desires that she should make the
best use of her opportunities.
