. :-s QUESTIONS ANSWERED A Save the Farm Manure. 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.
