A FURTHER RISE PREDJCTED ll** Now ICstl in Hies Mint the Tulnl Crop of the Country Will lie At>ou 1 11,000,000 Hales. In onr Anpust talk we estimated that wo would make a 10,000,000 bale crop. This was based the conditions of the crop at that time. Since then the condition of the weather has been such :\s to make a material change in j the prospectus We believe now nuder | the existing state of affairs that the j crop of the United States will not ex j ceed 9.000,000 or 9,500,000 bales. We find from comparison with the years 189 b and 1899, according to sta- | tln tics furnished by the United States Department, that in 1890 there were 22,341,000 acres planted and in 1809 only 20.918,000 acres, a decrease of 1,428,000 acres. In lßrfb the conditions were reported an average of 60.7 in October, while we have 62 6 per cent for October, 1899, making only 1.80 per cent more favor able for this season. This shows but little advantage as to the conditions, but; we have a decrease ! in acreage of 1,428.000 acres and we can readily estimate that the crop will I barely exceed the crop of 1896, whieii | wsiN 8 714,000 bales Under these conditions cotton should briug between 8 and 9 cents per pound , by .lan 1. This opinion is based on the ; price cotton brought in 1896 under like j conditions. We do not advise the farmers to hold j their ootton to the hurt of the raer- j chants and banks who accommodated them, nor do we advise them to hold at , all, but the indications are all favorable j to better prices. Go to see the people you owe and con* j suit with them, as their interests are ! yours. Make such arrangements as will help you and not embarrass them. We raise 75 per cent of the ’orop of : the world and we manufacture only one-sixth of this staple. Weaskifthis is a wise policy? Shall we continue to pay freight both ways, on our raw and manufactured material when we have every advantage, if we would but use energy and the means we have to be come indepen tent? I believe it to be a wise polioy for a factory to be established in each county that raises cotton, where the amount is sufficient to run the factory. It has been proven by experiments in peveral counties of this state that small mills that manufacture twine, rope, burlaps and checks have proved suc cessful and profitable and there is uo reason why we should not manufacture the finer goods, unless it be that the capital required for these mills will cost more than we are able at present to in vest. The small nulls once established can use their surplus as a sinking fund, and yet pay a reasonable interest, to add such machinery and appliances as will allow us to build such manufactories as will produce the finer fabrics. This necessity has long been recog nized by the farmers, as well as the bus iness men of the south, but the cry of hard times and lack of capital has pre vented the building of such factories. Now, we propose a plan by which the farmers of each county becomes a joint owner as well as a pro ducer. Let each fanny take stock in a factory. If he has not the ready cash, let him subscribe one bale of cotton this year, and another for the next year, and thus pay in 8 or 4 years his subscription. It is easy to procure advances from capitalists when there is a basis to make them secure, at sueh rates as will to easy for the borrower to pay back the money borrowed. When this is done, then the farmer becomes a buyer as well as a producer. If raw ootton goes up he wins, and if raw oot ton brings a low price and manufactured goods bring a fair price, he is still a Winner. If the stock of the factory pays a div idend this stock becomes a nnclens and collateral, upon which he can borrow money at a lower rate than he can ob tain it by mortgaging his crop or lands. Why then, Bhould we not establish a system that will prove beneficial to the men who prodncc the supplies of all the necessities of life? Think over these matters and let ns get together and organize such methods as will prove beneficial to the interests of the producers of onr section. O. B. STEVKNB, Commissioner of Agriculture.

HOW TO GROW WHEAT PKIZK WINNKIt W. P. WALKKR GIVKS TIIK METHODS UK EMPLOYS. rr PAYS BETTER THAN COTTON Uuucc.SHry to Specially Pr.p.ro tbe Lund llefor. Sowing und Sta ble Manure Favored. To tbe Editor of the Macon Telegraph: Having won tbe first prize for the largest yield of wheat on 1 acre, also on 4 acres of land in Middle Georgia, I have received many reqnests for Infor mation in regard to my method of prep aration, cnltnre, eta, I ask space in yonr columns to give the result of sev eral years successful wheat growing, hoping thereby to present to your nanny readers some ideas that will be of bene fit to them. I will write of this sub ject by answering the practical ques tions that are nsu&lly asked me. Question —When is the best time to sow wheat? Answer—Just after ths first freeze or killing frost in November. By waiting until then many inseota that are so destructive to wheat are de stroyed. To sow in October wheat would be more liable to get killed in early apring As to the kind of land I suggest that you sow vonr best upland. Nearly all wheat growers are partial to red land, but 1 must say that two of the poorest yields 1 ever had were on red land. Tell me what yonr season will be next April aud May and I can tell yon the kind of soil that will give the best result. My wheat land is not specially pre pared for sowing. I sow wheat after ootton that has been well cultivated. If the stalks are large I usually drag some thing over them, after which I plow them up with a scooter plow and let them remain where they are. Q.—What is the best manure, and how do you use it ? A—l use all manures broadoast Nothing better than stable manure. Cow mauure, when obtained from cot tonseed meal and bulls, equals anything you can use. Cottonseed are fine for a rainy season, aud will not leach like other manures. As to commercial fer tilizers, I know nothing of them. But you can always rely on acid phosphate and cottonseed meal, mixed two of acid to one of meal. Though dryer the sea son the better the result. Too rnuoh meal will kill the seed wheat at the time of germination. Q.—What variety of wheat do you sow ? A.—lt is purple straw. Q.—How do you tr»at your lead wheat? A.—l shake all of the small grains possible out of the wheat by passing through a fan over a 3-16 inch sieve at abont 80 degrees incline. If yon cannot secnre your seed in that way go to some place in yonr field where you have only ordinary wheat, and there out off enough for your seed. It is perfectly natural for wheat to have two grains to the mesh, and when you grow more than two you will find a great many small grains. Q —Why select the best grains for seed? A—Because it is the mothei to the little plant. The larger the grain the more vitality it has, the more uniform is its growth and all the plants are more able to withstand injuries. To get the growth and ripening more uniform in crease the yield, and to increase tho yield improves the seed. Q. —How do you keep down smut? A.—l have never seen any smut in my wheat. Neither will you if you will annually put one-quarter of a pound of well pulverized bluestone into 1 gal lon of boiling water. When diisolved pour it over 1 bushel of wheat while hot and stir until every grain is wet After yon have done this you should apply slack lime just as much as will tdhere to each grain. Yon will find thitto be very profitable. The wheat will (row a little taller and will stand a much larder winter than without this application. I sow my wheat broadcast in the mtunre so as tt> give the little plant al the strength and vigor possible during the winter months. Q. —How much wheat mast wi sow per acre in order to g«s she best results? A. —ls you seleot your seed wheat as you do your corn, I say sow nothing lsss than one bushel per acre. An acre of land that will require two bushels to be well seeded can be sown with one bushel, and the yield will be nearly as good, but not near so satisfactory. Why? Because when it is thinly sown the plant will spread, it shoots np irreg ularly, Is not nniform in growth, does not ripen evenly, has a coarse straw, and the only good thing that can be said abont it is that it baa a good head. Q. —How do yon plow in your grain, and how deep? A.—l turn nnder with a common turn plow, and I suppose the seed oould be found on an average of from 8 to 4 Inches nnder the top of the soil. I level the ground with a harrow, brash or anything that will pnt the ground in good shape for the harvesting machine We have now six months to rest from seed time till harvest. Q. —At what time do yon cot yonr wheat? A. When you see the heads begin to A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada ; E. llart, of Groton, S.

Guaran teed or price refunded. turn down you can get your machine ready for harvest. Q._Why not cut on the green order eo as to have better etraw? A.—By so doing you >eu up a chan nel for mold and rust In our next crop. Give the little wheat ger n all that na ture calls for, aud it will be more able to ward off the much dreaded diseases. Now, if w# can trust our wheat in the hands of nature let’s do our fields likewise. Nature says to man, ditch your land. Man says to nature, I will terrace. And we evidently see that man will follow man, whether he be right or wrong. But ’ will add for safety—good seed, good . 1 and proper drainage is a successful road for all wheat growers to travel. * have seen wheat under water on tenaoed land for nearly a weak at a time. Wheat is not rice. Neither is an excess of water hemmed up on a hillside in keeping with the law of nature. I have been aeked if tbe height of wheat had auything to do with the yield. That depends on the seasons and the amonut of rnaunre you used. Where I raised SO bushels of wheat to the acre | last year it grew to be 6 feet tall. I had another piece equally ae tall that grew only B 5 bushels to the acre. The former was broadcast with barnyard rnaunre, about 16 loade per aore. Also acid phos phate. two to one of cottonseed meal, about 800 pounds per acre. The latter pieoe had never been manured with any barnyard manure, but was broadcast with cottonseed, about 15 to 30 bushels | per aore, aud acid phosphate two to one j of cottonseed meal, 300 pounds per acre. This pieoe of laud, an ordinary year, will yield about 1,000 pounds of seed cotton per acre. You cau safely use 400 pounds of acid j phosphate aud cottonseed meal as above ; mentioned. Q. —Will It pay to raise wheat? A.—Yes. I raised last year 300 bush els of wheat, at SI.OO por hushal, $380; Stone of straw at 80 oeuts per 100, $74; ;14 tons of hay, $140; total, $504. Leav ing the laud benefited 40 per cent. Ths expense of these seven acres: Seed wheat, sl4; preparing land, $7; fertil izers— oottonseed meal ami aoul. $17.80; barnyard mauure, $64.50; harvesting, $10; thrashing, sßb; total expense. $130; leaving $440 profit aud 11 months to play aud one to work. If I had only ralßed oue-ieventh of what I did I would have had more profit than if I had raised one bale of cotton per aore at 6 cents per pound. Yours trnly, W. P. Walker.

There is no 1 today in Geor- j gia so insidious an£Ld an K prouß * u I its character as the of railroad companies in issui'.'.V? ree j passes to public officers. The V/.V flue nee of it on public affairs is in theTast degree shameful and flagi tions. Words are not strong enough to express the depth of the wrong aud evil of it. The people of Georgia febl deeply on , the subject and as a rule the pub lic officers who accept these passes , are ashamed to have it known. Nobody can tell how deep the in dueuoe of the railroads reaches into legislation by reason of it, and there is abundant reason to suspect that it is poisoning the fountains of justice. At the last session of the legis lature Mr. Hall, of Bibb, intro duced a bill to put a stop to it. After much dodging and squirm ing the matter came to a vote in the house last Friday. A motion was made to lay the hill on the table. Laying a bill on the table means generally that the house wants to kill the bill without tak ing a direct vote. It is a sort of cowardly evasion by which a mem ber can dodge responsibility for doing a thing that he wauts to do but is ashamed to have known. The motion to lay on the table prevailed and the bill was killed, and the Southern Railway can continue lawfully to retain our public servants in its interest at the pitiful price of a railway pass. In tho public humiliation that results from this action the Kra congratulates the people of the couniy of DeKalb that its repre sentatives Messrs. Maysou and George voted NO on the motion to table. We tako off our hat to these gentlemen -and extend pub lic thanks that they had the de cency aud the courage to demand a direct vote on the proposition to crush out this great and growing wrong. The Atlanta daily papers, al ways afruid of great corporate in flenceg, always ready to suppress news that the people want, but which would hurt their corporate bosses, have joined in the conspir acy to smother the truth about how the legislators stood on this vital question and refused to print the roll of members and how they voted.

Sel fishness always defeats itself. —Ex, Southern Prosperity. It looks as though the south is at last to have a share in the gen eral prosperity with which other sections have been blessed for the past vearor two. Certain linos of southern industry, notably iron, manufacture and lumber, have jlready been on the boom, and those auctions which are in a measure depended,*' u P on these in dustries for support been in good shape. When all is said and diu J 2. south is as yet an agricultu'Zf * country, and general prosperity is out of the question unless the far mer shares in it, and up to a few weeks ago the outlook for the great mass of southern farmers was far from hright. They have had two years of rec ord breaking crops and record breaking low prices for cotton, and np to July or August, there was ev ery prospect of a third record breaker in both directions. This would have meant very close to ruin for this section, though it is probable that no cotton crop was over produced as cheaply as the one which is now coming into mar ket. Grim experience had forced the southern cotton planter to base his calculations on 5 cents for this product, and the result has been that a greater proportion of home supplies have been raised in the south this year than in any year since the war. As tho season advanced, howev er, it became apparent that we were to have a comparatively mod erate crop of cotton and prices be gun to go up until they reached a point which meant a profit for the cotton grower, and the best of it is that the advance came at a time when the producer reaped the ben efit of it. In uddition to this, a shortage in the olive crop gave an increased demand for cotton seed oil and cotton seed, too, began to fetch higher prices. The natural consequence of all this is reflected in the great in crease in all lines of business in the south, which are reported as beyond the record iu many cases, and below it in very few. Best of all, conditions as they exist today, put the south’s pros perity on a solid basis and leave its continuance in the hands of the southern planters themselves. The unprecedented demand for cotton goods on top of a short crop means the absorption of the inass of surplus cotton brought over from previous years of plenty and the beginning of the next year with a visible supply shorter than it has been for many years. By planting plenty of grain, raising plenty of meat, and mak ing cotton as nearly as possible a surplus crop, it is within the pow er of the southern cotton growers to maintain the position they now occupy for the first time in a quarter of a century, and fix the price of their groat money-pro ducer instead of having it fixed for them by Liverpool and New York, Will they do it ?—Macon Telegraph.
