VARIETY OF WHEAT TO USE.
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:—

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.

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?

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

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.

The census reports also show that
tobacco is getting to be a crop of some
importance in Georgia.
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

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.
