r.:-. Bridges’ Methods or Cultivation
Produce Hood Results—Mr. Cox’s
Kxperlmenla Also Successful.
Nov. 15, tftOO.
Last year the farmers of Georgia put
:• ne land in wheat than ever before
nad were rewarded with a rich harvest
<. : golden grain. We again urge a still
; l ger acreage of wheat and other grains.
\ 4, raising of all the home supplies Is
tk road to independence. With every
tb.ing in t he way of liecossary food raised
at home, the farmer need not feel so
i' any about the price of cotton. If it
i ( i i^li, his profits are good; if low, he is
in burdened with debt. It will soon be
toe late to plant wheat. Whatever is to
1 • doaor xju that line must bo done at
Oil CO Mr. W. J. Bridges of Spalding
c, anjfy, wlioon 4 acres last spring made
r.'n average of 05 bushels of wheat to the
i. '•(>, says thnf “wheat should never be
t nwii until after the first big frost in
November, for then it will stand more
encccQffnlly the ravages of the fly or
i mall grnli that begins at the root and
caps the visor from the young shoots.”
As Mr. Bridges has made such a sue
cos of wheat growing, we give his
method in his own words:
“As to the land that I planted in
wheat this year, I gave it. a henry eoat
in? ot manure in the spring and then
1 iantedjt iu cotton. After I had gath
c red the crop, I ripped out the stalks
and then turned the laud over with a
t wo-horse plow, following that with n
cut nway harrow, then rolling it w'.th a
heavy roller. Mv wheat was then put
in with a drill; wing about 400 pounds
of a special high grade potash fertilizer
lit the same time. In planting the
Wheat I put, in 105 pounds, or 1 bushel
aud 3 peeks to the acre.”
He used the blue stem variety of
wheat, and before planting soaked it is
Milestone, putting a pound of it into
t nongh water to wet the wheat thor.
i uglily. It takes about a gallon of
ter to every two bushels of wheat. Th«
Milestone should be dissolved in boiling
water. The land on which he n.ndi
this large yield is a gray, loamy top soil
wi!h an undersoil of stiff red clay. On
10 acres which bad been planted
wheat for three consecutive years Mr.
Bridges made an average of about 44 G
bushels to the acre. His wheat was
lr.nde on uplands.
Mr. Thomas II. Cox, who, on 4
p.ores of laud in Washington county,
made 28 bushels of wheat to tho acre,
lays that his laud was a light gray and
that he sowed 2 bushels of the blue stem
variety per acre Iroalcast aud plowed
it ns deep as be could with singls
]“oW', using a? a fertilizer about 73
bushels of cottonseed. He sowed Ins
Oi'op the middle of November and gath¬
er d it May 20. His iuud was elevated
bv i vrfifii VtT. terraced.
Mr. F. White, who, on 4 oeres
in Jones county, made an average of 21
Bushels to the acre, wrote to 'tie Depart¬
ment of Agriculture that his land was
what is known as red land, ci ty subsoil;

horse Gafin an stock, using a common 4
inch turn plow. He used So bushels ol
cottonseed to the acre, and sowed 1
bushel of wheat to the acre on Nov. 15
and reaped May 18. He sowed blue
stem broadcast, plowed wheat in with
4 inch turner and van over land with
Thomas’ smoothing harrow, Before
planting he soaked the wheat for 24
hours in a solution of 14; pounds of
bluesrone to 6 bushels of Wheat, keeping
it, well covered under water for the time
mentioned, and then rolled it in slacked
lime. j

Hon. J. M. Smith of Oglethorpe
county, than whom there is no more ;
successful planter in Georgia, regards i
rve as a very important crop, both for ! !
winter gracing aud for cutting in early i
spring before other crops come on as j
green feed for cattle, mules and horses,
ibis snmo laud is then in fine condition
4” Pnt into com and peas; or, if desired,
h can 1 o well fertilized aud planted in
cotton, of which, if seasons are prop!
tious, it is possible to make a full late
crop. Whenever it is desired to make
two crops on the same laud, it should
be well fertilized each time. If it is not
m-sired to use this land for hav, it can
be grazed until late in the spring and
the sod turned under to make a good
soiling for a future crop. Where this is
done, almost any crop, which follows
the rye, will do well.
BAULKY.
Barley is generally sown about the
SHine time rvith rye. Although it is
generally better to sow botli of these
crops earlier, yet for late winter and
spring pasture they may be sown in
November, especially in the latitudes of
Middle and Southern Georgia. For win¬
ter pasture nothing is better than bar¬
ley sowed broadcast, 8 bushels of seed
to the acre. Any good or well fertilized
soil, not too wet, is suitable for barley,
On this kind of soil it should be plowed
In and harrowed. When land is poor,
or, ns it is sometimes called, exhausted,
from 80 to 76 bushels of cottonseed
should be sown broadcast. The barley
seed should then be sown aud plowed in
together. This will greatly increase the
P astura « a K r, ‘ in - Another plan,
which w‘ll work eqnallv well, is, after
sowing the barlor to put on a top dress

OATS
Every practical farmer knows that one
of tlie most useful crops is oat.-, ^
Uttle expense they aid greatly in making
the farm self sustaining. Not only are
they one of the best forage crops, but
like ail the other small grams, whenever
cultivated, they nd-l materially to the
fertility of the soil, giving to it a good
I* 1 "* tbe P‘ ant i”” 1 ' 1 w kic!t it so much

crop of oats will often yield doul-.e tha<

Every fanner who lias not yet sowed
bis oats should hasten now to put them
in.
Gratifying reports are coming in from
every section of the state concerning the
dilice ace of the farmers in sowing their
small grain.
Tlu re is a good prospect of even h larger
production of wheat aud other small

Now is a good time to collect
coru seed for future planting. Be care
ful to select only the best ears, thosa
that will secure the best results in quan¬

crop will follow from the best prepared
laud planted widi the best seed.
THE MAXUKE PXS.
Carefully place under cover the man¬
ure collected from the pastures, the coW
and horse lots aud store these away fof
future use. Keep your stables well
filled with leaves and pine needles and
other straw bedding. Secure for use at
the proper time everythin? upon tin

enrich it with plant food, and do tail
daring the fall and winter mouths, so
that you may have an abundant supply
of the best and most lasting of all ferti

Outlook (n More Uncoil raging Tluvr
Kver Bt-f-m*.
The dairy outlook for 1040 is more or:
convaging in Georgia than fir any time
in the past and those now engaged ir,
the business may well eater upon the
new season with more than ordinary
confidence. Never before lias this state
had more enthusiastic men at the fore¬
front of the dairy interest. They are
reaching cut for new methods aud bit¬
ter equipment in every branch of thi *
, iiKwtstry. The dairy herds
being continually improved. It is true
that there are yet many poor cows found
in the dairy herds, but me day of the
“scrub” cow is rapidly passing.
We are finding out that only the best
breeds are worth the keeping, and Geor¬
gia is now putting upon the market
some of the best butter found in the
United States. We were gratified to
learn at the recent meeting of the Dairy¬
men's association at Griffin that an ex¬
hibit of Georgia butter won the silver
medal in a contest with the world’s but¬
ter at the Paris exposition. The buttef
was made at the creamery in LaGrangO.
Ex-Governor Hoard of Wisconsin, who
has made dairying a life time business,
was present-at- the Griffin meeting, and
delighted his audience-of more than 503
dairymen from different sections of out
state, by saying that he could see no
reason why Georgia should not forage to
tho fr »nt of the dairy states of the
Union.
