WHERE TO PLACE A MANURE
RESERVOIR.
Never build a manure cellar under
the stable; for it will affect the air
breathed by the animals, or fill the
cow stables with microbes that will
surely affect the flavor of the milk
and the butter made from it. The
manure should be stored in a shed
outside. It may cost more, but it will
pay every time.

In view of the very short crop of
corn raised in Georgia, and the partial
failure of the. hay crop, we advise the
farmers to plant more than the usual
crop of wheat, so as to have the aver
age amount for grinding into flour
and a large surplus to be used for
feed for live stock. This extra
amount of wheat should be cut in the
dough state. Then it will serve for
both com and hay.

RICE CULTURE.
A Sad Disappointment.

purge, strain and break the glands
of the stomach and bowels. DeWitt’s

Before the civil war rice was oxve
of the staple crops of Georgia, and
was a great source of profit to those
who cultivated it. But changed labor
conditions, lack of necessary capital
and other causes have prevented the
complete reaction of this industry
which, in Georgia, was wrecked by the
war. ».
Yet with favoraole conditions the
cultivation of rice must he very pro
fitable, because there is an increasing
demand for it and the present annual
production in the United States is
only about half as great as the annual
consumption.
Rice is chiefly grown on lands that
are low, level and easily irrigated,
yet there are varieties that can be
grown on fertile lands without irriga
tion. Some of these upland varieties
have been successfully cultivated in
the northern counties of Georgia. But
they are not equal in quality to the
lowland rice produced by irrigation.
Upland rice may be grown »on any
soil adapted to wheat or cotton, pro
vided the climate conditions are favor
able.
The best soil for rice is a medium
loma, containing about 50 per cent, of
clay. A large proportion of the rice
grown in Georgia is produced on tidal
deltas. A body of land along some
river and at a distance from the sea
sufficiently great to be free from salt
water is selected with reference to the
possibility of flooding it from the river
at high tide and of draining it at low
tide. In Georgia are also found ex
cellent marshes upon what may be re
latively termed high land. Uusally
these can be easily drained and in
many cases can be irrigated from some
convenient stream. On these tracts,
however, the water supply is unre
liable, being insufficient in time of
drouth, and too cold in case of fresh
ets. Although resorvoirs to obviate
these objections are expensive, yet Un
der favorable conditions these inland
marshes are improved at less expense
than the delta, Jands and the results
renumerate well the time and labor
expended upon them.
The time lor plowing differs with
different lands and circumstances, but
in wet culture the plowing is generally-
done in the spring shortly before plant
ing time. In Georgia it is the custom
with many to plough or dig over with
a hoe early in the winter.
Some planters advocate shallow
plowing; but, if the soil is well drain
ed deep plowing is considered by many
to be more profitable. If deep plowing
just before planting'brings too much
alkali to the surface, a good remedy is
to plow a little deeper than the pre
vious plowing just after the harvest •
The alkali will then be washed out be
fore-the spring. Shortly after the plow
the disk harrow should be used and
then followed by the smoothing har- :
COMMISSINERS OF AGRICULTURE
HOLD MEETING.
Recently the Cotton States Asso
ciation of the Commissioners of Ag
riculture held their fourth annual con
vention in Nashville, Tenn.
Many
able papers were read on this occa
sion, and the commissioners also esti
mated that the aggregate of the en
tire cotton crop for-all the southern
states for the season of ISO-1902
would approximate 9,713,349 bales.
This association, which has been of
great service to the farmers of the
south, was organized at the instance
and through the influence of the Geor
gia Department of Agriculture, an I
their first meeting was held in Atlanta
in the summer of 1899.
