-v; announcement *•
W. M. SASSER, ° 'fOR THIS SECTION,
FOR 1899.
With the opening of the new year, we desire to call the atten
tion of our farmer friends to the undiminished popularity and the
excellence of the various brands of fertilizers manufactured by our
company, as evidenced by the following comparative statement for the
past five years, to-wit: t
In 1893-94 we sold 6,000 tons; in 1894-95 we sol'd 7,500 tons;
in 1895-96 we sold 9,400 tons; in 1896-97 we sold 12,000 tons; and
in 1897-98 we sold 14,100 tons.
This appears to be pretty good evidence that our fertilizers
have given satisfactiom to our patrons; and it is peculiarly grati
fying to know that this satisfaction has been most complete where
our fertilizers have been used in competition and alongside of other
brands. Our fertilizers are absolutely free from worthless adulter
ants. We furnish more plant-food for the money than any other fer
tilizer concern whose goods are offered for sale in Georgia. We
deal with the farmers direct, through reputable agents. Our company
does not belong to the Guano. Trust. We are free and independent,
and expect to hold aloof from all entangling alliances. No combina
tion will be allowed to dictate to us the prices we may see fit to
charge the consumer. Our dealings are open and fair, and we stake
our reputation on the quality of the goods manufactured and offered
to the public.
Do us the kindness to examine carefully the official analyses
of the State Chemist printed below. These analyses were made from
samples drawn by State inspectors after the goods had been shipped
from the factory, and are officially certified. Read the official
analyses, accord to us such merit as we deserve, and then give us
your trade.

FARM WORK DELAYED
liITTIiR ACCOMI*I,I SHED AS YET
BECAUSE OK THE RECENT
STORMY WEATHER.
STEVENS GIVES HIS OPINIONS
Agricultural Commissioner Write* of
Conditions In Georgia at Pres
ent an«l tile Outljolt.
Atlanta, March 1, 1899.
Since my last letter we have had most
unfavorable weather for farm work.
Hence but little has been accom
plished upon the farms during the
month of February.
The passing of the old year has car
ried with it a sad experience for many
of ns, in our farming operations and
business transactions generally. Tho
new year was ushered in with the usual
good resolutions by onr farmers; in fact,
the majority of us are trying to do bet
ter in the future by correcting the mis
takes of the pest. It is to be hoped that
the present year will mark the begin
ning of what may be regarded as a new
era; that tho smouldering embers of for
eign war and internal dissensions will
be amicably adjusted, and onr nation
will settle down to business once more,
with a future so bright that the average
mind will but partially comprehend the
magnitude of its results and possibilities.
The new year is remarkable in moro
than one respect. It brings ns not only
face to face with new and strange polit
ical questions, but the long hoped-for '
prosperity promised ns by the present
f4>., *1 administration upon the settle
ment of these questions. During the
past five years we have traveled wearily
through a most trying period of depres
sion. Met on all sides by discouraging
conditions, w* have hod many hard
ships and set-baoks, but much of it has
boon onr own fault. We have the rem
edy in our own hands for many of our
troubles. Will we apply it, and apply
it now? As I see it, the remedy lies,
Crßt, in the farmer raising his own sup
plies at home, ample and sufficient; then
raise as ranch cotton as you can. When
your bams are full, your mules will do
a good day’s work. Your cows give
milk, and your butter is Bweet, rich and
of a golden hue. Your hens lay every
day, and your hogs are healthy and
prolific. But when your barns are
empty, your mules have the lampers or
blind staggers, your cows have hollow
horn, the feathers on your hens are
tnrned the wrong way, and your hogs
get lonsey and have the mange.
I speak to the farmers from practical
experience. I was born and reared in
Southwest Georgia, in the heart of the
cotton belt I belong to your profes
sion, am one of you, and I know
that no man in that section can
produce cotton at the present price,
to the neglect of his plantation
supplies. He oauuot keep up his
farm, support his family and educate
bis children. You may take the best
farmer in Georgia, let him adopt this
plan, and it will only be a question of
time—the end of that man will be bank
ruptcy. Do not misunderstand me. I
am not against the production of cot
ton as a prodnot, because Georgia is a
cotton state, and we need a cotton crop
as weH as other products, but not to the
exclusion of other crops. Therefore, let
me beg yon, once more, to arrange and
diversify yonr crops, so that this fall we
may arrive at the gates of prosperity, to
see stretched peacefully before ns the
broad, rich and sunny fields of industry,
laden with the golden fruits of con
tented toil—a picture, as well as a
reality, whioh all the people of Geor
gia will hail with joy.
There has been a great deal o( com
plaint, in a general way, that the in
spections analyses of fertilizers, af
ter all, have been unsatisfactory. I
have, therefore, determined to make a
complete and thorough inspection of all
guauoa, in every section of the state.
To this end, if at any time a consumer
or retail agent may desire an in
spection of any brand of fertilizer, he
can, by giving notice to this depart
ment, have a sample taken by an au
thorized inspeotor, and the same shall
be analyzed by the state chemist; pro
vided, however, that in all such cases
samples shall be taken from unbroken
bags or packages. The consumers pay
the tax on gnanoe.aud it will be my pleas
ure te see that they are amply proteoted,
and it shall be done, even though it
take all of the fertilizer tax to accom
plish it. All I ask is the co-operation
of the farmers of Georgia.
In the face of a short corn and forage
crop the farmers generally, throughout
the state, had determined to sow more
largely of grain,;but the weather condi
tions have been very unfavorable for
both fall and spring seeding; hence the
acreage both for wheat and oats falls
far short of what we at one time ex
pected. The spring sowing of oats has
been seriously damaged, and in many
Motions entirely killed. Of coarse, this
is a beavy blow to tbe agricultural in
terests of Georgia; bnt we must meet
these conditions as best we can by sub
stituting such forage crops as are best
suited to our soil. I wonld suggest the
planting of an acre of sorghnm, an acre
of rye, an acre of millet, an acre of oats,
an acre of early speckle peas for a for
age orop. Use the best land at yonr
command, with special care in the prep
aration of the soil, and manure Hber-

As farmers are from throe to five
weeks behind with tiieir work, especially
plowing, many suggestions made in my
February talk will be applicable for this
month’s work—heuoe, I would ask that
you read again our last month's "Talk,"
as well as the questions and answers
therein contained. Do not, in yonr
haste, plow your lands too wet—neither
will it pay to plant corn until you have
thoroughly prepared yonr soil for the
grain. I would rather be two weeks
late in seeding my crop, with the land
well broken and bedded, taking special
care to put in compost or commercial
manure, than to plant the nsual time
with the ground hastily and ill prepared
and the grain and fertilizer pat in in a
careless manner. “What is worth do
ing at all, is worth doing well,” applies
with peculiar force to farm work.

As to Onioti Planting.
Question.— Will yon please inform
me how many onion sets I will need to I
plant one acre in onions? I would be j
glad to have any information in regard j
to onion planting, culture, harvesting j
and marketing the same.
Answer. —The onion crop is regarded .
as one of the most profitable of the gar
den. It is usually grown from sets
Bold in bundles in the green state; how
ever, many gardeners raise their owu
sets and save the expense of buying I
them. This can be done by selecting a
poor piece of land, pulverizing the soil
with a plow, harrow and rake. It will
take about four pounds of good onion
seed to plant one acre if you have a
machine, otherwise, it will take a little
more if yon use the hand. Sow in rows
about nine inches apart. Skip every
seventh row. This will form an alley
18 inches wide. As you want a small
bulb, sow thick. Take up the sets, lay
about Aug. 1, well dried, place in '/onr
! barn loft, spread out not more than
four inches thick When frost oomeu
I cover with straw or hay about six inches
: deep. In the early spring you have
your own sets for use.
As you want, now, the biggest onion,
you want the ’best soil at yonr com
mand. Broadcast and plow in well
rotted manure at the rate of 75 tous per
acre. Again, your preparation of the
soil must be thorough and deep, and
the land put iu perfect order. Plant
Bets in rows 9 inches apart, leaving
the seventh row for an alley. Place
sets in the drills at the distance of 9
inches apart, pressing the bulb firmly
down, righ: side up. Close the rows
with a rake or the foot. Roll the
ground well and make it compact. As
soon as you cau plainly see the onions
begin to start up, use the hoe in the
middle, and where yon cau not nse the
hoe, use the fingers in breaking the
ground around the plant. Two or three
good workings, if done at the proper
time, will be sufficient. It will take
from H to 10 bushels of sets to plant
an acre, depending upon the size of the
sets.—State Agricultural Department.
Poliits on Upland Ktcc.
Question. —I want to plant a few
acres in upland rice. Please give me
some information on the subject
Answek.—lt is a matter of surprise
that more upland rice is not planted in
Georgia, as it is a healthy food product,
liked by most people, easy to raise and
productive in yield. Any land suitable
for corn or cotton will answer for rice,
though new ground is preferable be
cause of greater case of cultivation.
Prepare the land well, lay off rows 18
inches apart, nse a good, complete com
mercial fertilizer at the rate of 200 or
300 pounds to the acre in the row
and cover it so as to leave a low,
flat bed. When danger of froet is over,
open a shallow furrow and sow the seed
either in a continuous row, or what is
perhaps better, drop 8 or 10 grains every
10 or 12 inches in the row. Cover
lightly, cultivate shallow, only being
sure to ont down all weeds and grass,
as rice is a tender plant when yonag
and is easily crowded oat by any other
growth.
Harvesting should be done when tbe
upper half of the head is ripe. Tbe straw
will then still be green, and after cur
ing makes fine forage for horses and cat
tle. Cut and place the "hands" on tbe
stubble to dry. In 24 hours of good
weather it will be sufficiently cured to
tie in bundles and bouse or stack.
Never tie iu bundles while tbe straw is
damp. The grain can be separated
from the straw either by flails or thrash
ing machines. The great difficulty
with most farmers is the cleansing of
the hulls from the rice. This can be
done in a wooden mortar with a Wooden
pestle, bnt this process is very slow and
laborious. Small rice mills can now be
bought for about S3OO, and there should
be one iu connection with every large
ginnery in the state. The knowledge
that rice could be cleaned for a moder
ate price would very much encourage
the growth of this valuable grain, and I
believe such mills wonld be profitable.
By planting and cultivating as di
rected, the crop should yield, with aver
age seasons, from 15 to 20 bushels to tbe
acre.
Bice is the principal food orop of
more than half the people in the world.

THE SAN JOSE SCALE
RAVAGES OK THIS AWFUL PEST
IN GEORGIA ANIJ HOW IT
MAY BE CHECKED.
ANSWERS TO MANY INQUIRIES
Department of Agriculture Supplies
Information on Subject* of
Interest to Karmers.
Question.—ls the San Jose scale more
dangerous in the south than at the
north?
Answer.— This pest is #iuob mure de
structive in the south than at the north,
owing to the longer breeding and feed
ing season afforded it by the southern
climate. In Georgia, the scale lies dor
mant only abont two months—from
Deo. 16 to Feb. 15—leaving it ten
months in the year in whioh to multiply
at a very rapid rate, aud prosecute its
destructive work of sapping the life of
the tree. Even during the dormant pe
riod there come days warm enough to
revive the insects and set them to breed
ing again.
In Janunry, 1898, infested pesoh twigs
were received from Danville, Ga., on
which liviug young were crawling pro
fusely. On Feb. 14, 1899, specimens
were received at this office from Cairo,
Ga., and upon examination they were
found to be breeding. Oa March 8, 1898,
I inspected sn orohard in South Georgia
and found the scale breeding freely on
plum trees. From this almost incessant
breeding and feeding it oan be readily
understood that the Han Jose scale is
more dangerous in southern olimates
than at the north, where the period of
its destructive work is cut short by the
oold of winter.
Again, the peach trees being more
susceptible to iujnries of any kind than
almost any other orchard tree, and since
the (leach is the principal frnit grown
in this state, we suffer more from tho
ravages of the scale than other states
that grow apples aud other fruits that
are more resistant.
With us peach trees are entirely killed
in two seasons after they are first at
tacked. Un April 50, 1898, I inspected
an orchard of 1,000 3-year peach trees
at Pine City, Ga., aud after careful
search found only six trees infested
with the San Jose scale. No treatment
was applied to this orchard, and on
Nov. 16 of the same year I visited it
again, and found one-third of the treos
entirely crusted over with the scale and
iu a dying condition.
In view of these faots, with other
similar oases, we must conclude that
the San Jose scale is much more de
structive in the southern states than at
the north.—State Entomologist.
ltalsleg “llreem Corn.”
Question. I have decided to grow
“broom corn” for the market.
Please give me all the infor
mation along this line possible.
Answer. —This plant is a variety of
“sorghum,” and a native of the East
Indies. The introduction of this plant
is attributed to Dr. Franklin, who, find
ing a seed on a whisk broom that had
been imported, planted it, and from this
originated the oulture of “broom corn"
in the United States. The average pro
duot of brush per acre is about SOO
pounds. There has been produoed from
very fine soil and locality as high as
1,000 pounds per acre.
As there seems to be no substitute for
broom oorn brush, there is always a de
mand for it, and It is a orop that can be
easily cultivated. It is a profitable one
for the farmers to raise in those sections
to which it is well adapted.
The seed make very good food for
horses when mixed with oats. It is
also flue food for poultry after tbe
chicks are two or three weeks old, when
fed with other food. When ground
with our common Indian corn iu pro
portion to three bushels of broom corn
to one of Indian corn, it makes good
food for cattle, hogs or sheep.
Generally speaking, broom oorn grows
best where onr native oorn grows best,
and the preparation of the land is similar
to that for corn. Good river or branch
bottom land in best suited to this plant;
bnt any good land well drained will,
with barnyard manure, or a gaod fer
tilizer, make a good yield. The better
plan is to broadcast the manure, plow
and harrow the same so as to pulverize
the soil thoroughly. Plant in the drill
or iu bills. Tbe rows may be from
throe to four feet, according to the va
riety to be grown; the dwarf varieties
in three feet rows and the larger varie
ties in four feet rows. The hills may
ha two or three feet apart. When the
I seed are sound and well-ripened, two
l quarts will be sufficient to plant one
! acre. Be sure to get good seed. You
can use the seed drills that will plant
{ small teed, or if ouly a few acres are to
be planted, you can plant with the
baud. The cultivation is similar to
that of corn, only you have to use more
I care and skill because of the smallness
of the plant. Thinning should be done
when the plants are two or three inches
high, leaving five or six in the bill, or if
drilled, the stalks should be left three or
! four inches apart.
As to the harvesting aud curing of
the broom corn, I will take pleasure in
advising you later if you desire such in
formation.—State Agricultural Depart
ment.

No excuse for it now. Bagwell Bros,

Dacula.
Georgia, also give me any information
touching the early manufactories and
' the progress of the same in Georgia ?
Answer.— The first factory estab
lished in Georgia was built on the Oco
nee river, 4 miles below Athens, in the
year 1827. This enterprise proved suc
cossful, and was soon after followed by
| many others iu the same county (Clarke)
and in Green, Richmond and other conn
. ties. From small beginnings these en
terprises have in late years developed to
considerable magnitude, and with a pe
cuniary success that points to them as
agents of a most prosperous era in the
history of onr state. The splendid wa
ter powers of the Savannah at Augusta,
and the Chattahoochee at Columbus,
could not long fail to attraot the atten
tion of a people alive to their own inter
est and to the general welfare. Georgia
has great advantages in this reßpect
oyer the New England states, which
have heretofore manufactured most of
the American ootton aud wool fabrics,
but the dawn of a brighter day has set
iu, and we see from year to year capital
ooming this way to onr beantlfal south
land. Manufacturers are now convinced
that the place to mannfaotnre ootton
is on the ground floor where the ootton
is grown and produced, and sooner or
later, the whir of the cotton spindle
will be heard from the top of every moun
tain, as well as from every valley in our
beautiful Empire state of the south.
Here, we have no need of the middle
man or transportation. Wages are mnoh
less here than in th# New England
states, the cost of water and steam
power is less, building material of every
kind is less, living expenses are leas and
the climate is more favorable. The wheels
are seldom dogged or obstructed by ioe,
the consumers of our products are at our
own doors,and for these reasons alone the
manufacturer of ootton mast and will
come southward. There is still room
for greater strides along this line than
Georgia has made in the past, and
yet she has dono well.
Just how many organized cotton mills
there are now in operation, we are un
able to say, but more than a decade ago
we had more than 50. We also have
many wool factories, paper faotories,
iron foundries, floor mills, gold quartz
mills aud stamp mills iu operation, and
railroad shops, looomotive and oar fac
tories, carriage aud wagon, boot and
shoe factories, and sash and blind faoto
ries, we have in large number. We
have tanneries, potteries, liquor and tar
pon title distilleries and fertilizer facto
ries also without number.—State Agri
cultural Department.
Spraying For the Pest.
Question. — Owing to the continned
rains, I have been unable to spray a sin
gle tree since Ohristmas. How late can
I spray for the San Jose scale, and must
the per cent of oil be diminished as the
bads advance?
Answer. —Twenty-five per cent of
kereosene is the strength to be nsed
against tke San Jose scale during the
dormant period, and this can be used in
the spring until the frnit buds begin to
open. Iu tbe spring when the tree be
gins to grow it is even in better condi
tion to resist the ill effects of tbe kereo
seue. It is invigorated and enabled to
throw off the oil that might penetrate
the bark. It is not safe, however, to
spray with any per cent while the trees
are in fall bloom. Tbe kereosene would
burn the petals and injure the fruit
After the bloom is sbed the spraying
can be continued with a 16 per cent
mixture. A greater per cent would
likely burn the tender foliage. The 16
per cent strength will kill a large per
ceat of the scale and check its ravages
to a great extent. If tbe orahard has re
ceived the 25 per cent winter treatment,
however, it should not be neoessary to
commence the summer treatment so
early. Every favorable day np to the
blooming |>erlod should be utilized in
spraying infested trees with the 26 per
cent mixture. It ie important that
bright, snushiny days be Mlected to ap
ply tbe treatment, otherwiM the oil
may penetrate the bark of the trees and
injure them before evaporating—Stole
Entomologist.
Spring ssd Summer Foaags.
Question. The unprecedented fall
and winter prevented the farmers from
saving forage and sowing grain crops.
What shall we do for spring and sum
mer forage?
Answer. —lt is not too late to sow
tbe Burt or tbe White oat—can sow on
good lands (branch bottoms and wall
manured plots) until March 11 with fair
success, bat advise that farmers
should not depend entirely on oats for
forage- Our plan would be to plant
sorghara, (Early Amber is best) millet,
(German and Cattail) milo maize, Kaf
fir corn, whippoorwill paas, popcorn
and the early varieties of Indian corn,
on land thoroughly prepared and highly
manured with lot and stable manure or
good commercial fertilizers that con
tain 2 or 8 per cent of ammonia, so as
to rush the crops and afford plenty of
stalk and foliage. The crepe should be
harvested when they are in the dough,
cured as hay aud fed to stock as hay or
fodder; or can be cat earlier and fed ae
green stuff. After cutting off the crop
then plant peas, either in drill or broad
