Dr. Dr< Johs McOandleis, State Ghem ist > Atlanta, Oa.: Dear Doctor MoCandless— 4 accord you, with pleasure, the permission to publish my Analysis of the Georgia cheats in any way you may see fit. .. j n reKar( ^ ^ the statement previously laade, in some of our bulletins, that the southern wheats were the poorest in the United States, I desire to say this state ment had reference entirely to the con j 0Bta 0J f n jt r0 gen and gluten in such wheats. Experience ana research have shown that the longer a wheat grows the more tendency is shown to develop starch at the expense of gluten. it i s well known that the spring wheats, which mature ih three or four moaths , contain larger relative quanti ties of gluten than the winter wheats which grow seven or eight months. The analyses which I have made of th9 Georgia wheats certainly show that there are localities in Georgia where the gluteu and nitrogen contents of the Wheat, which I presume is winter wheat, com p ar0 favorably with similar wheats much . further „ north. ,. grown Therefore Iherefore the the statement statement nreviouslv previously made should bo modified as indicated above and should not be made general of all localities in the Southern states. You are also at liberty to use this statement in the publication of tho aaa ‘ j a Sincerely, H. W. VfiiMX, Ohemiat. bugar Sane. Increased interest is being aroused in the culture of sugar cane. As <mr vast timber lauds become denuded of their magnificent forests there looms up an important question as to what industry Will take the place of our great lumber mills and turpentine stills.

From the plow Gincinnatus was called to the helm of state at a time of imminent peril, and throughout che days of the republic and the early and better times of the empire orators, statesmen and poets cultivated fields, gardens and orchards, and wrote beautiful essays and poanis about fields, fruits, flowers and bees. Iu the old time days before the civil war some of our most successful farm¬ ers wore retired merchants and eminent lawyers and statesmen. It seemed in those days to be the ambition of men to acquire money in mercantile pursuits and iu the- learned profession* that they might have money with which to buy laud, and spend the evening of life in peaceful retirement on a well stocked and well cultivated /arm.

WOULD BE A PAYING CHOP Starch Factories Would Be Starts and These Would Fay Good Prices Kor Product. Cassava is another important preduot that can be profitably raised in South Georgia. Professor Stock bridge of th« Florida Experiment Station says that this plant furnishes an excellent feed tor stock as well as for man. There ata two species of the plant—one known as the sweet, the other as the bitter cassava. The former is the one so highly recom* mended by Professor Stockbridge. The sweet cassava, which is already cultivated to a considerable extent ia Elorida, has this supreme advantage over the other species (the bitter): that R oan b® t0 8 t°«k in its natural state without risk of harm, but with great advantage. It is also a very palatable table vegetable. It has five-parted loaves ana longer roots, but generally much lighter in weight than those of the bitter cassava, which is such an impor t-aat article-of commerce in Brazil and other South American countries, The bitter cassava should never used for stock, because its sap contains the highly poisonous hydrocyanic, acid. But; this plant is also a very important ouo ia South America. Heat dissipates tne poisonous principle, and the concen* tracea juice is used as the basis of enssa veep and other sauces, while from the sliced and dried roots are produced sev¬ eral food as Brazilian ar¬ rowroot, tapioca, etc. Let it be remembered that it is the sweet cassava that is so highly recom¬ mended for South Georgia. Mr. I. 0 . Wade of the Southern Railway com¬ pany. %vho has been to considerable pains in investigating the adaptability of this plant to South Georgia soil, is sat¬ isfied that it will grow as well iu Geor¬ gia as in Florida. Iu comparison with other starch vegetables one acre of South Georgia land will produce 4 ,(JUG pounds of starch, while the best oorn or potato laud in Illinois or Michigan can produce only 1,200 pounds of starch to the acre from these vegetables. Whenever a sufficient amount of cassava fins been planted, starch facto¬ ries will started, and it has been esti¬ mated tUws these will pay five dollar's a ton loaded on the cars at any station within 100 miles of their factory. Cas sara is easily propagated by cuttings of the stem and is of rapid growth, attain¬ ing maturity in six months. The pro¬ duction is at least sixteen times that of wheat. Cane and Cassava Convention. On April Sth there will be held at Brunswick. G*., a convention of those interested in the introduction of cassava p will cultivation iir.to Georgia. They also discuss the advantages to Georgia of a very large increase iu the acreage of sugar cane. It is their purpose to moke South Georgia a oeuter of agri¬ cultural development and to promote the locating of factories for refining su¬ gar and syrup, and others for making starch and stock food. The introduction of these new indus¬ tries will greatly add to the population and wealth or Georgia.—State Agri¬ cultural Department. Adviintages Possessed by Georgia. Fine farms, improved or unimproved, can be had in Georgia cheaper than iu tho North and West. The climate is not only pleasanter, but also more healthful. Secretary Wilson, of the United States Department of Agriculture, in a late in¬ terview, said: “The South has marked advantages over the North with regard to production. * * * The winters in the South are mild; grasses, grains and legumes can be sown in the fall, which grow abundantly through the winter and upon which the dairy cow and the mutton sheep may graze audj.thrive. lamb The South can prepare the spring much earlier than the North can. ‘ The Southern landowner under stands horse-raising. There is always a greater demand for saddle horses than is supplied. The world wants carnage and draft horses and good roadsters. "Early spring ciiickens—the broilers— can be produced down there, because they have milder winters and milder snrings.
