shouted,
In view of the crop condition of the
west and the northwest it behooves the
farmers of Georgia and the south gen*
•ridly feo allow no waste upon the farm.-
Many ot our people depend in great
measure upon western ^ay. But so un
favorable has been the condition in tiu
west throughout the entire. season of
1901 that their dependence will prove s
broken reed. In other seasons hay which
oost $5 or f6 dollars a ton in the wesv
era market, sold in Georgia, by reason
pt transportation, at, from ^013*00 to
f 15.00 a ton. The presept season has
been so unfavorable, that western haj
bridgs on the farm where it is grown
an^ mowed $10.00 a ton. Now the
farmer, judging by the past, can mak<
hie own calculation as to what western
hay will cost him by the time it reaches
the Georgia market, in view of this he
must see the necessity of supplying the
needs of his stock from his own farm.
Every mower should be put -.to work at
once, or, if the farm, is hot equipped
with such an implement; bring the hand
scythe into active play. Every available
blade of grass should be cut. Gathef
in the crab grass, . crow-foot and yvire
grass. Out all the Bermuda on youf
place, and fail not in utilizing all youf
pea vines. Mow "also the swamp grasses
and all the broom sedge, that is not toa
far matured to be used tor hay. Though
the two last named do not make the best
bay, they are better than no hay, ox
than paying excessive rates for the
western article. If a shredder is to be
bad, have year cornstalks shredded and
stored away. Make good use of youf
cane. Let nothing escape yOur notice
that can be used for food for your stock;
This is a. time Jwhich puts to the se
verest test a farmer's scientific knowl
edge and ability to make his farm e
1900684
This is no time for a man because of
the difficulties that beset him to fold
his hands and, saying, “all is losti”
give up the fight. Though j in many
sections cotton has been seriously dam
aged apd the corn .crop ig below the
average, minor crops, such as peas and
potatoes, are doing well.
Some report the fields overrun with
grass. .Gut ajl that grass and turn it
into hav. Use . all means to avoid the
loss of any part of any product that can
be. stored away for the use of man or
beast. * ■ , . •;.
The cry of disastrous drouth over a
large ^section pi the Union is, alas} too
true. A short grain and grass crop in
the west means high grain and meat fa
the southern farmer who does not raise
his own supplies. Will Georgia farm-,
ers, under these cpnditions, allow theif
barns to remain empty, while the fielda
are covered with valuable native grasses
which can now be saved ahd housed at
a nominal cost? Or will they wait un
til next spring and pay twenty to twen-
t^five dollars per ton for western hay ?
GET READY FOR YOUR WINTER CROPS.
As soon as the grasses and peavinea
have been cut and scored away for hay
begin to get your fields ready for oats,
barley, rye, wheat, clover and the pe
rennial grasses..
In the upper half of the cotton belt
September is the proper month for seed
ing, all these except, wheat, the sowing
of which can be deferred until after tha
first frost. Early seeding guards against
the greatest*dangers to these crops, viz:
winter killing and spring drouths. The
former of these perils is avoided by sow
ing in time for the plants to become
deep-rooted and strong before Che win
ter freezing. The spring drouths do not
prove disastrous to early-seeded crops,
since they have time to mature and are
ready for the harvest before the drouth
seta in and b^ore the moisture, that
had accumulated during ths winter, has
been exhausted.
An early oat crop rarely fails except
from winter killing. This crop should
be put upon gcxSd land liberally fertil
ized. We do not deem it necessary to
plow in oats very deeply, provided they
follow a orop that has been well culti
vated during the year. Two inched
should be plowed in with a cultivator
or short turning plow It is best to seed
heavily, thus allowing for the loss of
some grain by freezes.
We regard barley a most admirable
orop for early spring grazing, valuable
both in contributing to the health of
stock and in the saving of-corn and
fodder. An acre of barley well fertil-
jzed will feed two mules for five or six
Weeks. On thinner land, you can seed
rye, which will always grow and make
'a good-paying green food crop. While
not the best feed, it is reliable, always
coming in when most needed. Colonel
James M. Smith of Oglethorpe county
said that he would hardly know how to
farm without raising.barley and rye for
would be sufficiently deep, and they
spring feeding. The various vetches
tnd olover, red, crimson or burr, are
useful and should be seeded , down this
mouth. ' *
We would not advise every farmer to
pl&ht.aU of these for winter crops; This
lea matter of choice to be determined
by surrounding conditions; trat no farm-
|r can afford to be-without them.

THE PROFITS OF RICE CULTURE.
Although there is so much land in
Georgia suited to the profitable cuitiya-
tk»n ofyice,; there has been a great fall
ing off in its production in this state*
during the last fetf years. And yet
there is no more profitable crop than
rice for some sections of oilr state, es
pecially along the seaboard. We are
indebted to Oswald Wilson, in the Sep
tember number of the Sonthfrii ^arni
Magzaine, for some : valuable * informa
tion concerning this important cereaL
The average value per acre of rice
is $30.00, less the cost of irrigation,
which amounts to about $(>00. Accord
ing to the reports of the United States
census the average value per acre of
corn in 1900 was $9,02; of wheat, $7.61;
of oats, $7.68.
The three great staple crops of the
world, corn wheat and oats, have an ag
gregate production of more than 8,500,-
000,000 bushels and a market value of
nearly $2,940,670,000. The production
of rice is 74,074,369,193 pounds valued
at $2,902,974,V81. It is the principal
diet of 800,000,000 people, or more than
>54 per cent of the entire population of
the world.
Although rice has been growja in the
United States frpm the earliest period
of our history, it is only of late years
that i| has reached much development.
In Louisiana and Texas rice culture has
become a great industry witti a ciipitai
of $5,000,000 invested in 100 canals,
1,500 miles in extent and capable, undei
present water conditions^ of flooding
800,000acrea * l ■
; The consumption of rice in the United
States is increasing steadily,'and there
is growing demand for it. Hence there
is very little danger of over-production.
Whdrever the conditions ar% favorable
Will it not be profitable to pay more’ atr
tention to the cultivation of this great
cereal? ■
Abundance of wholesome food for our
people should be one great aim of the
agriculturists of oUr ' state, and rice is
already one of the principal articles of
diet in almost every Georgia home.
