COTTON AND CORN BACKWARD.
Long Continued Wet Weather Has
Delayed Planting—Hopes Entertain
ed for More Propitious Seasons.
This has been an unusually back
ward season for our two staple crops.
T'he long, continued wet weather de
layed planting, and in consequence
caused much despondency among some
of our farmers. But Nature as a
general rule brings in a compensa
tion somewhere and somehow. The
backward seasons will probably be
followed by such conditions that dur
ing the next two or three months, by
intelligent, well-directed labor, assist
ed by Improved modern machinery; all
disadvantages may be overcome and
Georgia retain-her high rank as a corn
and cotton State.
The presei# condition^ are about as
follows:
In the-counties of north Georgia cot
ton planting is well advanced, and in
seme of them about completed; in
some of tlie more southern counties
of the northern belt the cotton is
coming up and doing fairly well, al
though in some places the stands are
poor owing to continuous rains and
cool weather; In some places, the
early corn has poor stands, in others
it is doing fairly well.
In Middle Georgia there are in many
places complaints that cotton .is'being
retarded. by rain and cool nights and
want of sunshine, which is true also
of corn to some extent. At the same
time good stands of both are reported
in many places. ;
Southern Georgia reports in some
counties cotton and corn both doing
well, others report cotton greatly re
tarded and much of it replanted.
Corn is generally reported in good
condition, though in some localities
mTich damaged by bud and drill
worms. In both Middle and Southern
Georgia good 1 reports are made con
cerning sugar cane. Looking over
the general field, oats are doing fairly
well, which Is for the most part true of
wheat. Both of these crops, how
ever, are in some sections suffering
from rust. ,
The price of cotton in New York on
the 12th of May was 11Y2 cents. The
November and December cotton sold
at 9 cents a pound, but now that it is
on “Rates of Charge for Transporting
Garden Truck, with Notes on the
Growth of the Industry,’’ includes
what it properly styles the justly re
nowned Georgia pea<jhes. There ill
ho limit to the growth; of the trucking
business, and its profits are bound to
increase from year to year. Although
the western end of Long Island is so
occupied by this industry as to have
the appearance of a great truck farm,
yet nearly all’ its products are con
sumed by the millions of people with
in the radius of a few miles. The
great cities of New York and Phila
delphia not only furnish markets for
the truck farms iu their vicinity, but
also purchase largely from the market
gardens of the south, In fact, New
York city is probably, says the bul
letin, the greatest market in the Unit
ed States for the trucking districts of
the south.
A proper fertilization of the soil is
one of the most essential conditions
for success in truck gardening. Lands
so rich as td require no fertilization
are rarely found. Some crops re
quire a great deal more fertilisation
than other!?. According to the bul
letin from which we have already
quoted, the cost of fertilizer per acre
for leading varieties of vegetables In
the Savannah trucking district, which
embraces the entire coast country of
Georgia, is as follows: Asparagus;'
$25; beets, $16; string beans, $8; cab
bage, $22; cucumbers, $10; kale, $22;
watermelons, $8; peas, $12; Irish pota
toes, $25; sweet potatoes, $15; spill-
nach, $1'5; tomatoes, $20.
We have the authority of the United
States Department of Agriculture for
the statement that "probably the fin
est trucking country in the wrold is
located on the Atlantic coast from
Norflolc, Va., to .southern Florida,"
embracing the entire Georgia coast .
The best soil for trucking Is one in
which there is more sand than clay,
because this kind of soil retains less
water, warms up more rapidly and
; promotes a quick growth of the crop
out of the farmers’ hands, the price ; during winter and spring,
has gone up. If farmers should now Many of our f anns have more or less
have an opportunity to dispose of the land of this type, which will bring its
coming crop for future delivery at largest profit when devoted to truck
9% cents, it would probably pay them _ gardening,
to sell at that price; for, although the
season is backward, there may yet
be a good crop, and, if • a very large
one, prices may go down.
The Middle and South Georgia su
gar cane is for the most part doing
well.

Does Trucking Pay In Georgia?
Those who have gone about this
business in an intelligent manner say
that it does.
Of course we do not mean to say
that every ; farmer should give all his
attention to trucking, because some
have grown wealthy by so doing. Geor-
,gia is admirably adapted to be just
what she has long been—a great corn
and cotton state; and- is rapidly be
coming a great grass and hay
State and though in some
places truck farming is the best busi
ness that a man can enCgage in, we
would not be understood aid advising
any ; neglect of our two staple crops.
But every farmer who is in easy dis
tance of a shipping point on one of
the many great lines of railways that
traverse our state, would- do well to
devote a few acres to the raising of
some one of the table products for
which there is such a great demand in
every part of the United States.
One who will take the proper pains,
can easily make from $50 to $500 to
the acre on strawberries and raspber
ries, the latter of which mature
just as the strawberries are exhausted.
These luscious fruits always have a
great demand, not only in the large
cities of the north and west, but also
in the cities of our own and neighbor
ing states. While the father and old
er sens are cultivating the cotton,
corn and peas, the mother, the girls
and younger boys can raise berries,

The areas, which the naval stores

always taken a lively interest in the
promotion of this great industry and
is glad to note that good work is be
ing done at the four sections organized
under appropriations b the United
States Department of Agriculture,
these stations being located at Guy
ton, Waycross, Quitman and) Cairo.
