Valuable Suggestions and Timely Ad vice which Every Enterprising Farmer in Georgia Should Heed. The wheat crop for this year, owing to several adverse causes well known to all the wheat growers of Georgia, did not come up to the average. But this partial failure should no more cause a diminution in the area devoted toj this valuable grain than an un favorable season for corn, or cotton, should cause a falling off in the acre age of those crops. The same reasons which led to the great revival of fact always fresh in your memory:— For Cuts, Mashes and all Open Sores, you need only to apply - f]f£usiang j^inimenf a few times and the soreness and inflammation will be conquered and the wounded flesh healed. To get the best results you should saturate a piece of soft cloth with the liniment and bind it upon the wound as you would a poultice. 25c., 50c. and $1.00 a bottle. wheat growing : in Georgia in 1899 and 1900 still prevail. One of the chief arguments in favor of wheat, growing, so persistently urged at the time, was that the negro former by reason of his manner of Mfe can make a living for his family at far legs expense than is required toy the'" white man, and hence can afford to sell his cotton at a lower price. . % Therefore the competition between the white and black planter wouid prove disastrous to pie former unless lie could be self-supporting and have eotton for his surplus money crop. A farmer's life should be one of ffnancial independence; but, unless he fcSn- Hve in the main at 'home on the fruits of his own industry and supply the market jWltii. those products that are ever in demand, he is in danger of becoming a hewer of wood and drawer of wafor to his mdre enterprising neghbors. If he raises enough to live upon, he can hold his cotton for good prices. *■ An attractive looking home, a well filled storehouse and ready cash for himself and family are necessary, if he would bind the affections of his wife and children to their country home. Diversity of crops is an abso lute necessity for successful farming, and no crop that can be raised, adds more to the comfort of a home than wheat, which in its flour gives that bread which by most people is pre ferred to every other kind, and in its bran supplies one of the most whole some feeds for stock. No good farmer in North or Middle Georgia should fail to set apart a por tion of his land for wheat. What if there is an occasional short crop? extcan CROP CONDITIONS. At this time the general condition of crops is far from encouraging. The drought. which has prevailed qp to the 2d of July, accompanied by high temperatures and parching winds, has caused a material deterioration ol IffCP AIT CVC flM your poultry and at the Very first sign of liter MIS tit UII Koup, Scaly Legs, Bumblefoot or other diseases among your fowls use Mexican Mustang Liniment, GOLDENM PURE OLD LINCOLN CO. of the state since the first of the month, it is still true that a drought which is becoming very serious, now prevails over the greater portion of Georgia. In some sections upland corn is almost past redemption, while cot ton in some sections is doing fairly well, the reverse is true in most of the counties. The friut is below normal conditions, and the watermelon crop is far below an average, both in quanti ty and quality. STATE AGRICULTURAL DEPT, July 8, 1902., Atlanta, Ga.

The increase in acreage in the dec ade from 1889 to 1899 was 188 per cent, ind iji production 319 per cent. The average yield per acre shows an in crease suggestive of improved meth ods of cultivation, being 479.9 pounds per acre in 1899 as compared with 329.7 pounds in 1879. The tobacco crop of 1899 was 1,105,600 pounds, valued at $159,659. ■ This was grown toy 3,525 farmers, and obtained from 2,304 acres.

The Variety of Wheat to Use. _ Knowing well the many conditions affecting the yield of wheat, we would again advise that you select a varie:y most capable of withstanding the many drawbacks attendant upon the cultiva tion of this grain. A kind having a strong, stiff stem and possessing the greatest power of withstanding ex treme cold weather is the best. All other things being equal, that which has a thin skin or bran is to be pre entire acreage in cow-peas; for there is no crop, as far as we know, that will produce such permanent good ef fect upon the soil. By this method the land is put in good condition for foe next crop of wheat.. Much of our land in Georgia has been run down by unwise cultivation in foe past. These exhausted lands, need nitrogen and available phosphoric acid and potash, and, especially, lime. | To restore these elements to our wast- ( ed lands, Sow dow-peas after grain and turn them under in the fall after hav ing first broadcasted barnyard manure, ashes and lime. The repetition of this process from yea rto year will steadily increase the fertility of the soil and the wealth of the farmer. Best Fertilizers For Wheat. Some soils are naturally so rich that no fertilization is required; but these are the exception, and even the most of these will, after a few years, require some sort of fertilizers in the form of TJbGso should be in a One Insect That Proves to Be the Planter’s Friend.

THE CONVERGENT LADY-BUG Instead of Being injurious to the Cot ton Plant This Little Bug is of Inestimable Benefit to Same. Every one knows that the cotton, in common with nearly all other kinds of plants, is subject to the attack of in sects, but very few realize the im mense variety of them that depend more or less upon this staple for food. The cotton worm, cotton boll worm, Mexican cotton boll weevil, cotton louse, etc., are but a few examples of the most common, but fortunately only a few are at all apt to appear in serious numbers, and these are very variable in their appearance. Sometimes they occur in such abundance as to appear to jeopardise the entire crop in a more or less extended area, while again their numbers are so insignifi cant as to pass unnoticed. This striking variability is due In part to a great many causes, some of them easy to understand, others more obscure in their nature. Nothing is of exeater importance, though, than foe terred. Soil For-Wheat. A soil, whose predominating charac teristics are loam and clay, and that having also an abundant supply of ni trogenous matter with sufficient phos phoric acid, potash and lime, is best adapted to the growing of wheat. If these elements are lacking, use plenty ©f barnyard manure, if available, and concentrate it. Ten tons to the acre will not be too much. Also apply plenty of wood ashes, for these con tain phosphoric acid, potash, lime and soluble silicia, all essential elements for the growth of the wheat plant. For most land some high grade commercial manure is foe best The soil must be dry, under-drained, if necessary, for wheat cannot be made on land which has an excess of water. An excellent soil for wheat is a'gray, loamy top soil, with an under aoil of stiff red clay. nlant food. say *‘Consumption can be cured.” Nature alone won’t do it. It needs help.
