Thorough drainage and deep plow ing have been found to be the only effective way to dispose of the alkali that is brought to the surface by irri gation. As the water is drained away, the excess of soluble salts is carried off. GA. DEPT. OP AGRICULTURE. Monthly Letter of Commis sioner Stevens.

A 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. GA. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE. Bleached Cotton Cloth.

Robertson & Law. 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.
