AT THIS OFFICE
Although the season is backward,
resembling in that respect the condi
tions of one year ago, faithful and skill
ful work will, without some special
hindrances, give us good crops for the
coming summer and fall.
The experienced and successful farm-
! er needs no advice as to the
best method to be pursued In order to
make his land yield abundant crops;
but so long as there shall be coming
into the agricultural field new and in
experienced toilers, so long will there
be need of line upon line and precept
upon precept. Hence, the necessity of
repeating in part advice already given
from year to year. The old farmer,
when he sees in agricultural journals
and monthly talks of commissioners,
the same familar things in substance,
(however changed in expression), may
turn away and exclaim "The same old
song and dance!'’ But to the young
farmer desiring all the light that he
can get, these same hackneyed themes
are new and full of just the help he
needs.
Therefore I must be excused for re
peating some of the suggestions of
last year.
Cotton.
As cotton is ono of the chief crops
now engaging the thoughts and hands
of the farmer, let me again remind
tho young planters that this plant re
quires abundant Bunshine, and lm
poratively demands that kind of man
agement which will not take up the
strength of the land for the stalk and
leave not force enough in the soil to
bring forth fruit to perfection. The
great essentials are to keep the cotton
clean and not to allow the plants to
be crowded, lest there be too muoh
shade with consequent Increase of the
stalk and decrease in the number, size
and quality of the bolls.
The distance between the plants
should be from a$ Inches to ‘3 feet In
the drill. Of course, the fertility of
the soil is an Important factor in de
ciding the distance to be observed.
Let the young farmers not only read
all that they can find in one or more
of the excellent agricultural journals
that are issued monthly, but let them
1 consult those who from long practice
of the best methods have learned how
to secure the strength of the soil for
the friut and to obtain abundant yields
to the acre.
Sugar Cane.
In those sections of Georgia where
sugar cane is the best paying crop, it
is plainly to the interest of the farm'
er to devote the toil of his brain and
hands to this Important industry. As
much good sense is shown in deciding
what crop to raise as in making the
soil do its best with what is cultivated
The syrup business of southwest Geor
gla continues to increase, and the in
troductlon of first-class syrup mills and
sugar refineries is putting new life Into
what, when properly developed, will
bring great increase of wealth to not
only the farmers, but also to the manu
facturers and merchants of Georgia.
When agriculture flourishes, com
merce and manufacturers lift up their
heads end oil rejoice together.
f. Cassava.
In diversity there is wealth. Hence,
we welcome and encourage in every
possible way any crop that promises
\ to open up new fields of enterprise.
Cassava is well suited to many seo-
tlons of the southern tiers of counties
In Georgia. The result of many ex
periments gives strong proof of the
profit to be derived by the farmers of
southern Georgia from the cultivation
of this new crop.
While the species of this plant
raised in Georgia is useful as feed for
stock and Is also a good table vegeta
ble, Its chief recommendation is its
great ability to produce the highest
known grades, as well as the greatest
abundance of starch. One acre of
Bouth Georgia planted in cassava will
yield 4,000 pounds of starch, which is
far in excess of the quantity produced
by the best potato lands of Illinois or
Michigan.
This plant is propagated by cuttings
of the stems and attains maturity in
six months. The production is said
to be sixteen times that of wheat
Diversified Industries.
As this new agricultural industry
.progresses, great starch factories will
be built up, Just as the cotton crop has
built up great establishments for the
manufacture of cotton fabrics, and just
as the cultivation of sugar cane is
bringing in syrup mills and sugar re
fineries, while the merchants of our
rapidly growing cities and towns are
accumulating wealth from the handling
of the manufactured products, derived
from the crops raised by the farmers.
Thus agriculture, manufactures and.
commerce are making Georgia great
and strong, ana giving her the money
to build up her schools and churches,
thereby advancing the great interests
of education and religion, which, with
hand Joined In hand and working har
moniously together, will make a people
ippwerful and rich in all the elements
of true greatness.
Corn and Forage Crops.
Let the farmer look well to hiB corn
crop and do all In his power to make
himself independent of the west, ^hls
Is not Bald to encourage sectional sen
timent, but to promote a proper feel
ing of independence. In proportion as
the farmer raises all that he needs of
wheat and corn for his family and hay
for his stock, will his other crops,
whether cotton, sugar cane or cassava,
be profitable investments, increasing
his bank account and giving him the
ability to make his home bright and
attractive with rural beauties, that
make It a veritable garden of Eden,
around which his children’s affections
will ever cling.
Work your corn early, so that neith
er grass nor noxious weeds may mar
its growth. Persevere in the good
work and with favorable seasons this
crop will pay you well.
Between the rows of corn plant
your peas, and, if you have land
enough, devote some of it exclusively
to this soil-enriching crop, which is
to us what clover is to our brethren of
the north. In addition to its great
power to renew the soil in which it
grows, its Juicy peas are good food for
man and beast, and its vines, when
properly cured and housed, make
hay which can hardly be excelled.
Raise all the corn and forage crops
possible, that our barns may burst
forth with plenty, that our people
may be able to live at home, that our
beef and dairy cattle may render us
the best possible service, and that our
working stock may be strong to labor
in the cause of man.
Doing our best to improve diligently
the opportunities which God has given
us, we plant and water with the as
surance that God will give such in
crease as our real wants demand and
His blessing will rest upon those who
while they trust Him for results, fail
not to be diligent in business.

Beef and Dairy Cattle.
For many years the Georgians have
given much attention to the improve
ment of the stock of dairy cattle, and
all over the northern and middle sec
tlons and in some of the southern
counties are many flrst-clas dairy
farms stocked with cattle of the best
known milk breeds.
It has been the effort of the depart
ment of agriculture to encourage this
good work in every way, and at the
same time to present to our farmers
every incentive to the improvement
of our beef cattle, and the newspa
pers and agricultural journals of the
state have nobly backed up all these
efforts.
Our most enterprising farmers no
longer have their com cribs and smoke
houses In the west, os was the ,cash for
several years after the great civil war.
It is time now that we were having our
great packing houses In our own cities,
supplied with thii best of beef from
our own stock yards. There is al
ready in the suburbs of Atlanta the
packing house of T. R. Sawtell; an
other in Brooks county and others in
other sections of the state. The great
scarcity of beef from the cattle states
of the Union and the consequent high
prices ought to wake up our people to
the gyand opportunity of cheapening
this important article of diet and keep
ing in our own state the money that
now goes beyond our borders.
Not only clover, alfalfa (or lucerne)
and other grasses of the northern, mid
dle and western sections of the Union
flourish in many parts of Georgia, but
our own native grasses and our soil-
enriching peavlnes in every section of
the state give abundance of the best
hay and supply the finest pasturage for
stock.
The prosperity of our state will be
greatly Increased by the establishment
of great stock farms, not only by the
consequent cheapening of our meat
supplies, but also by the wonderful en
riching of the soil, wherever herds of
cattle are kept
