ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG ONES Gower Springs is being put in nice ®hape by Messrs Grigg, Pilgrim and .® s tes, its owners. They are seeking 1° make of it a most attractive place. The friends of Mr. B. J. Halsey hojpe ^ him out again soon. He has eon fined to his« room for two on account of a fall he received riding pyer his farm. He Repeats Some of the Timely Sug gestions of Last Year, Laying Stress UpGn Raising Abundant Corn and Forage Crops. Although the season is backward, resembling in that respect the condi tions cf 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 one oi the chief crops now engaging the thoughts and hands of the farmer, let me again remind the.^ young planters that this plant re quires abundant sunshine, and im peratively 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 much 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 j.8 inches to 3 feet in the drill. Of course, the fertility oi the soil is an important factor in ae-. 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 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 bands 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 gia continues to increase, and the in troduction 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 and all rejoice together. Cassava. In diversity there is wealth. Hence, we welcome and encourage in every possible way any crop that promises lo open up new fields of enterprise. Cassava ijg_ well suited to many sec- :ions of the southern tiers of counties n 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. Whiii? the species of this plant raised in Georgia is useful as feed for stock and is elso 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 south 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. I As progresses be built up, just as the cotton crop has built up great establishments for jthe . manufacture, of cotton fabrics^ and just • J HAVE (OPENED A T!

I AM, VERY RESPECTFULLY, O WATKINS- 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, and 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 powerful and rich in all the elements of true greatness. Corn and Forage Crops. Let the farmer look well to his corn crop and do all in his power to make himself independent of the west. T^his is not said to encourage sectional sen timent, hut 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, wipreasing 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, deupte 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 a hay. which can hardly be excelled. r ' Raise all the corn and forage crops possible, that our barns ‘may burst forth with plenty, that our people may-he 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 pur best to improve diligently the opportunities which God has given us, we plant and -water with the as suranc£ that God will give such in crease as our real wants demand and His blessing will rest upon those who, while the}* trust Him for results, fail not to he diligent in business.
