The Macon Telegraph announces
that another convention of wheat
growers will be held in Macon on
July J 3th for the purpose of com¬
paring notes on this year’s successes
and failures in wheat growing. It
seems that the reports will be mostly
of success inasmuch as the venture
has proven a great success through¬
out middle Georgia. Even in south
Georgia, there has been made some
splendid wheat crops. It is to the
credit of the Telegraph that it done
a great deal to encourage wheat
growing in Georgia by offering
premiums, giving needed informa¬
tion and otherwise. It couldn’t
have been engaged in abetter work.
As a result of its efforts hundreds
of Georgia farmers, who have here¬
tofore raised cotton to buy flour,
will cat the' latter from their own
bin this year. It is needless to say
that the crop of wheat has paid
them much better than the same
land in cotton would have paid them.
“Even the pro hi bitionist doesn’t
make a kick about the horn of
plenty.”

Hill Writes on Wheat.
From the Tifton Gazette.
North Alabama, June 3.-—I see
from the paper:: that the wheat crop
is near a failure this year, but the
farmers should not be discouraged,
It will do better next time. There
is more money in wheat than there
is in cotton, even if it be like my
my friend, Judge Dan Tucker’s, too
much rust to save. Pasture the land
two or three weeks, then it is ready
for a big crop of peas. Need not
pay any attention to what Elder
Sikes says about how nasty and
mean a fellow looks and feels when
he has been working in rusty wheat,
or when he tolls about Elder Albert
■Sutton or Elder YvE TI. Harden’s
wife’s telling them that they are ex¬
pecting company Sunday, and they
wanted some nice flour, they did
not want to cook that smutty, rusty
stuff for them.
Now, Mr. Editor, I know I ate at
as many different places last year as
Elder Sikes, or anybody else, and I
did not eat better biscuit than I did
at John McMillan’s, three miles
southwest of Alapaha, in Berrien
county ; at Aaron Mocks’, six miles
north of Willacoochee, in Coffee
county, aad at other places I could
mention where they had tlys “rusty
stuff,” as Eider Mikes calls it.
The farmer should not be discour¬
aged because Lige Hogan made a
failure one time, as Lige hardly ever
does make a mistake in his farming.
Here, over 400 miles north of Til¬
ton, flour will be 50 per cent, higher
next fall than now. Cattle have
gone up 50 per cent.; will go higher
now. Wheat means more cattle,
more fat cattle means more money,
more prosperity and less buying on
a credit.
Elder Sikes has been a very safe
man in his writings and savings, but,
as Elders Harden or Sutton would
say, he is in the brush this time.
Let every farmer raise his bread, his
hogs and beef, and hay to sell. No
money in cotton until it sells for
more money.
Crops are all very poor in this sec¬
tion except cotton. It is fine and in
good condition. It is very dry; the
oat crop is a failure. Some farmers
say they will plow up part of their
crop of corn and plant again if it
rains soon. Have had no rain here
for six weeks next Monday; ther¬
mometer 96 in the coolest shade.
No fruit in this section. Kind
words to all', my friends. Would
like to sec all my friends in all parts
of the Brushy Creek 'country.
