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; iiuu ho bjofce up this land tyitb.s ce^ f » *sfc-.-srwj Xu .

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 11VK. ! 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 ' ln * of barM - T " rd maunre or c ««ouseed , mpnl aild hamw U *«• nceds rich L ' ,nd > nnd ^ cf ir wlU l’ 8 '' wel1 eveu rather poor hnd, It is better, pro.) vbly, than ouvthing else for winter pas turage. After it has been grazed n 1K >n and mowed, it renews its growth rapidly. 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.

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. ^ .
