INCONSTANCY.
He says good-bye to Fannie,
And promises that she
Shall light his every vision
Beside the rolling sea.
He „ promt.es • letter
a
Shall reach her every night,
Then down the road he wanders,
And passes out of sight.
He soon is at the ocean,
And there meets many girls
With bro vn and lilac optics,
And black and golden curls.
He takes them out a-riding.
He takes them to the bops,
And often in their honor
Visits the candy-shops.
With them he goes a-bathing
Upon the shining stand,
And then they sit and gossip
Upon the shelly sand.
He takes thorn to the ra,ees,
And on t he horses bets,
And writing not a letter,
Fannie he forgets.
And futious is Fannie
That pat agon and pearl,
To find that Charlie comes homeward
Engaged to another girl.
Development of Agriculture.
“Three hundred years ago ? ” said
Hon. A. J. McWhirier, Commission¬
er of' Agriculture for Tennessee, be¬
fore the Montgomery county Agri
cu tural Association, “Virginia stood
as to-day in resources of nature, }’et
a beautiful desert, with only spontan¬
eous crops growing upon her soil ;
deer and turkeys her only cattle ;
her waters simply a breeding place
for fish, her lands without a market ;
her ores and coal lying worthless be¬
neath the soil ; agriculture, manufac¬
ture and commerce were practically
'unknown. Two huudred and sixty
years of agriculture have failed to
produce the prosperity that sixty
would have brought with a suitable
combination of all the industrial arts.
Naturally agriculture comes first, but
other industries must folio v, or the
rural art will stiuggie through a
dwarfed existence. Virginia hereto*
f re too exclusively to the idea of the
dignity and independence of agricul
ture. She has hitherto sought
wealth in the soil, but is now finding
it in the coal mine, the ores, the
dense forests, the enduring waterfall,
and a thousand other sources of pro¬
duction which are, in their utilization
rounding into symmetry and giving
volume and momentum to the grand
whole of Virginia industry.
Pennsylvania had a -lowe' - and
later settlement. She has no sea
coast, and is almost destitute of na¬
tural water ways and great aqueous
basins for food fish supplies. But
Pennsylvania acted wisely and
promptly on the true theory of in¬
dustrial development, that it should
be various and symmetrical, furnish¬
ing lucrative employment for male
and remale, old and young, in doors
and in the open air, unskilled and
rough, as well as nicely adjusted to
the peculiar taste and finer aptitude
of the delicate and refined who are
suffering for something to do.
More than half the people of Vir
giaia are farmers ; only one in five of
the Pennsylvanians are engaged in
agriculture. Does the greater ntirn
ker of the former State make a de
rnand for land and a higher price by
reason of the competition ? No ; the
competition is between one farmer
and another in the sale of produce for
which there is no near home market;
and the cheapening of products also
cheapens the acres on which they are
orown So Virginia farm lands are
valued at $10.80 per acre, while those
ct Pennsylvania command $49.30,
cording to the census ol 1880, which
also shows that the average farm
worker of Virginia produces crops
worth °. $180, while the Pennsylvania
‘gr cu.t 1 z 3 U U . Why w
this? Because of the other four
months seeking to be filled and
credifed for the supply Tennessee is
with twenty million acres
"'“*• , , J- , E? “CC *.<> iusttwo
CONYERS, ROCKDALE CO., GA., AUGUST 15, 1834
whose value to-day is over six him
dred and thirl v five millions. Texas
with , her , thirty-six millions of , acres
only 1 reaches 1 a valuation , of one hun—
dred and seventy iniliions. The
States of Georgia. North Carolina,
South Carolina, Alabama,
pi and Arkansas have anave. ftgeof
seventy-seven per cent, of their pop
ulatiou engaged in agriculture, and
their iaarm workers receive but one
hundred and sixty dollars average
per capita and the value of their
lands is depreciated accordingly. In
the State of New Yotk, where
culture and industry go hand In hand
her twenty-three million acres ol farm
laml are vamed at more than one
billion of dollars. What a revela¬
tion this is.
Let it not be lost upon us. We
must encourage every branch of in¬
dustry. We must invite skilled la
ber among ns to open up and develop
our resources. We must expand the
scope of our agricultural policy and
throw into it the great industrial ele¬
ment which will bring us population
and give us wealth.”
Killing Cotton Worms.
It is now, we believe, says the
Greenville (Ala.) Advocate, a con¬
ceded fact that the cotton worm will
make and havoc with the weed this
year. Already they have appeared
in many fields, and in some in suffi¬
cient numbers to let their work be
plainly seen. Every one will admit
that the cotton crop is from two to
four weeks late, caused by the late
cold spring; and it is also known
that the worms have appeared in
many localities earlier than ever
known before. Now the questions
arises, can the pests be successfully
destroyed -without too great an ex¬
pense ?
Some years ago many farmers in
this section tried to poison them with
Paris green, but it was found that
through ignorance in the application,
or from some other cause, as much
havoc was done to the weed as if left
to the worms; so it was abandoned.
It is onr opinion that they can be de¬
stroyed by poison properly applied
and we have heard of its being done
without material damage to the grow
ing crop, especially in the black lands
of Dallas county, and if it can be
done there surely it can be accom¬
plished here or anywhere else.
In a late issue of the Montgomery
Advertiser we find the following on
this subject. Here is a man who has
already this season made the success¬
ful experiment. Would it not be
well for the farmers of this section
to take time by the forelock and
make the same experiment ? We
believe they would save their crops
by doing so now. We will wager
our wealth that the worms will not
destroy Mr. Cloud’s cotton. Here is
the article:
“Mr. N. B. Cloud is cultivating
what is known as the old race track
in the eastern part of the city, which
had laid out about thirty years until
he concluded to test what could be
done with it this year. It is about
one mile and a quarter from the city,
011 the Line Creek road. The pesti
ferous worms made their appearance
j n his cotton, and more than one per
son w ho saw the field predicted that
they would strip the cotton stalks
entirely by the close of the week lin¬
less checked in their operations. Mr.
Cloud procured a supply of Paris
green and used a mixture of one
pound of the poison to forty gallons
of water, and applied it to the cotton
with a whisp broom, made of broom
corn. He sprinkled it on Wednes
day and Thursday, and on a close
examination of the cotton yesterday
discovered that the worms had all
been killed. Several persons who
saw the cotton after the worms were
dead pronounced it the best job in
the way of worm poisoning they had
I ever seen. The poison as he applied
! it did not affect the cotton at all.
; Last year Mr. « Plnud Cloud uued used the the sprins snrink
pot ordinarily used for
I ing worms, and noticed that the ef
feet was to scald the cotton, which
SSl was owing to the fact that bv this
h .at.-, M «n
satisfied that ii the poison is applied
in the proportion and way that he
used it this week. it will snreiv kill
tne worm-without injur soft the col
ton. One matt, lie says, can easily
.pply the poison to four acres a
At present this field of cotton prom
Lies to yield about one bale to the
acre, should no disaster occur; and
the result show’s further what tnay
be accomplished on old land bv the
judicious use of suitable fertilizers.”

Deep Pl°wln£and Moisture.
The question is often asked : ‘How
rincg deei.Kph-wmg make the
mMster?’ 1 believe it is an rented
f ac t t,] ia t; wherever warm sir counts in j
contact with a body cooler then it-;
self the water in it condenses
drops. On a warm day we see It, of
ten on the outside of a pitcher of cold
water. Fogs atio dews are made in
that way, and our rain, most of it,
coming up from the gulf in those
heavy currents of warm air that we
frequently have. When we pulverize
the soil deep, the warm air, which is
full of moisture, penetrates down and
through it, and the ground being
cooler thau the air, condenses the
water iuto drops, which answers in
place of rain ; so the deeper and
more ue pulverize it the more mois¬
ture ii will collect from the air. Not
only t:at, but as warm air is rich in
food for plants it serves in place of
manure, too.
Thirty years ago there was a terri¬
ble drouth in the East. Professor
iVlapes, a large m-rket gardener, h id
his ground underdrained and sub
soiled, and his crops, where he could,
were cultivated with a subsoil plow.
A committee went to see bis place
alter nine weeks ol drouth, and it
found everything us flourishing as if
there had. been plenty of rain. His
■i'OI'li (it was the 3rd of September)
was estimated at ninety bushels to
the acre, while on land cultivated in
the usual wav, near by, it was all
burnt up. While I Jo not think
deep plowing^ is everything, st.dl I
think de"p and thorough pulverizing
of our laud will lesson the effects 01

August Chickens.
While it is us a rule best to have
the larger portion of the chicks
hatched out early in the spring, ibi
various reasons it is an advantage fcr
have eoniH hatched out in August.
Hatched in this season of the year
tbev grow very rapid, and as it is a
season when the flies and bugs are
numerous, it, does not cost as much
to raise a chick as it does early in
the spring, and the weather Ix-ng
warm a very much larger proportion
of them live than when hatched early
in the season. An August chick will
usually begin Ho||av in Febiuarv,
which is at a time when the pullets
from early chicks begin to set, and
for a month or two will furnish a full
supply of eggo Thus the August
chicks will supply eggs when other¬
wise there would be a deficiency, and
when they begin to set tits pullets
from early chicks will again begin
to lav. Thus by having early and
late chicks, the supply of eggs, dur
ing the winter and spring, will be
more uniform than if only early
chicks are hatched out. Another ad¬
vantage of August chicks, it will
very much lengthen out the season
forchickens of the right age lor the
table. The roosters will eat w<*ll un
til spring, and if there should be a
surplus to sell there w,!l always be
