Monthly Letter For May.
CORN IS THE ITEM TO CONSIDER.
.Nrc-snry to Plant lor m ISi^ Crop In
Yi*-\v of tiin .'hurt Supply of That Ccr»
Now In the M arkota—Wheat Comes
aa i or Notico as Well as the Proper
C are oi Land.
From all parts of tho state the agri¬
cultural indications are more eucour
agiug than at this date last month—
though the heavy rains in the early
part of the month somewhat retarded
work, and the cool nights and unusu¬
ally low general temperature have
delayed vegetation. We have, all
things considered, a backward spring,
which is somowhat discouraging to
general farm work, yet hopo is again
in the ascendancy, farmers are busy,
farm work is assuming definite shape,
and the retarding of vegetation has
proven such an advantage to our fruit
crops that tho prospect for abundant
yields of ail kinds is most flattering.
Corn is well up, in some sections
growing off vigorously, and the bulk
of the cotton crop is planted. Tho in¬
dications are that tlie acreage has been
reduced, and that the grain crops are
correspondingly increased. While fall
oats wero a failure, the spring crop is
promising, and the vivid green of the
wheat fields attests the healthy and
vigorous condition of that crop. Farm¬
ers have all over tho state profited by
tho sunshiny working days which have
predominated in the month of April
and the truck gardener, as well as the
fruit grower and general farmer, are
throwing off the depression of the last
few weeks and looking forward hope¬
fully to a year of hard work and boun¬
tiful harvests.
Tnat there has been a reduction of
the cotton area for the state thero can
be no doubt, exactly how much we are
not just now prepared to state, but the
falling off of 100,000 tons in tho pur¬
chase of fertilizers by the farmers of
Georgia is almost an unerring indica¬
tion of reduced acreage. It is true that
much more attention has been given to
the making and saving of homo ma¬
nure, but it is equally true that much
more commercial fertilizer than usual
has been usod under the small grain
and corn crops—two propositions which
practically counterbalance each other,
and leave the reduction of the cotton
crop an unchallenged fact.
In view of the present short supply
of corn in the markets of the world, the
increase in the area of our corn crops is
important, and it is equally important
that a full supply of food crops of all
kinds be assured. The reports from
different sections of the state indicate
that a heavy crop of corn has been
planted. The farmers have taken no
chances for a short market, and with
tho blessings of Providence wo may
meet a decline in the price of cotton
without experiencing the deadly ohill
which flint fact has so often carried to
our hearts. 1 quote the following from
the Manufacturers’ Record to, if possi¬
ble, briug home to tho minds of our
farmers the importance of this subject
and to emphasize the necessity of plant¬
ing and saving every pound possible of
hay, forage, peas, peavines, ensilage,
and of putting in green crops for sum¬
mer feeding, besides grouudpeas aud
ohufas to start the fattening hogs in
the fall:
“Tlie total production of corn in the
United States in i891 was 1,212,000,000
bushels, a decrease of over 400,000,000
bushels as compared with 18911, aud a
decrease of 850,000.000 bushels as com¬
pared with 1891. Fortunately the south
had a large crop this year, or other¬
wise it would have had to purchase its
corn at a very high figure, because of
this great shortage. As the average
crop of the United States for some
years has been about 1.750,000,000 bush¬
els, the production of the last two
years is over 500,000,000 bushels short
of the average. The country will
therefore enter upon tho next crop year
with a very small stock of corn on
hand—so small, indeed, that even
should we have another 2,000,000,000
bushel crop, as ju 1891, it would require
all of this enormous yield to make up
for the deficiency of the last two years.
Even should such a crop as this be pro¬
duced, prices would probably still be
high, because of the decrease in 1894.
Another small crop following the one
of last year would necessarily mean ex¬
orbitant prices for corn.
"Because of these facts it becomes
more imperative than ever before that
the south should increase its corn acre
age this year. The south’s large crop
last year was due more to a heavy yield
per acre than to a large increase in
acreage. If this section is to maintain
its independence of the west so far as
corn is concerned, every effort should
be made to urge upon farmers the im¬
portance of planting a larger acreage
this year than ever bofote. With a big
corn crop the south is better prepared
to stand low priced cotton than it could
in any other way.
"R behooves every trade organization
iu the south, aud every business man
individually, as Well as tho press, to
persistently exert all possible influence
to encourage an increase of acreage iu
corn and other food supplies.
"If the vigorous work of the press is
supplemented personal in co-operation this direction of bankers, by the
active
business men aud all others who deal
with farmers, it will be possible to se
cure au increase of 25 or more per cent
in the acreage devoted to corn and
foodstuffs compared with last year.

south has in the increase of its grain
production, which also means an in

No comment here cau make
facts more forcible, and I cau only ex¬
press tno wish that Georgia tanners
may fully realize their meaning. the
The reduction of 100,000 tons in
use of fertilizers does not indicate that
less manure is being used. Though
there are individual instances in winen
farmers have expressed a determina¬
tion to abandon everything to unassist¬
ed nature, giving only the necessary
plowing and hoeing to keep the crops and
lrom being smothered by weeds
grass, the great body of thinking farm¬
ers realize that if they would keep
their lands in productive condition
they must put into the soil more than
tlie growing crops w'ill taka off and in
greater or less quantity according to
their enlightened judgment and finan¬ wit¬
cial abiiity. It is encouraging to
ness the general interest in this subject
of judicious management of manure. and
We arcs on the threshold of a new,
1 trust, more prosperous era of south¬
ern development, at the foundation of
wiiich lies our more comprehensive ap¬
plication of this whole subject.
Another subject of great importance
to the farmer is
MEAT PACKING AttD COLD STORAGE.
We can think of no enterprise that
would bring more benefit to the people
of ihe south. The fact that the meat
could be fattened aud cured the year
round would introduce a paying crop
second only to cotton, besides furnish¬
ing a certain home market for all our
surplus corn. The increase in freights
would benefit the railroads, and thus
one industry started, as is so often the
case, would quicken many others into
life.
The main crop of sweet potatoes is
generally planted in May, aud forage
crops of various kinds cau still bo put
in, besides which the farmer must give
his most judicious work to the cultiva¬
tion of the main crops. If he can push
forward steadily, having his work tho¬
roughly in hand by the first of June,
with no grassy fields and his crops in
regular and vigorous condition, he can
reasonably, with fair seasons, count ou
a paying yield. In bearing the heat
and burden of this busy mouth, don’t
forget the hogs. Give thorn regularly
salt with a little ashes mixed with it,
and about once a week a teaspoonful of
powdered copperas mixed with tire
food. Don’t allow their growth to be
checked for waut of proper food aud
plenty of it. A pig stunted now rare
ly recovers the loss.

DR. COOK ON GLANDERS.
Report of the Veterinary Surgeon Seat
to Investigate This Disease.
Dublin, Ga., April 4.
Hon. R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner of
Agriculture:
Dear Sip.—A t your request I visited
tho plantation of Mr. Ros3 Stinson,
two miles west of Dublin, Lauren coun¬
ty, to investigate a disease among his
mules, supposed to be glanders. A good
deal of interest was manifested in the
case by the citizens of Dublin from, the
wellkuown fatal nature of glanders. I
found one grey mnle suffering from
glanders in the chronic form. Tho
common and characteristic symptoms
of this form of the disease were too
well defined to leave the slightest pos¬
sibility of doubt. The discharge was
from both nostrils of a white gluey na¬
ture, in earlier stages having been
streaked with blood. The ulcerated
patches on tho mucous membrane in
each nostril had eaten clear through the
septum nasi, the characteristic swell¬
ings of tho submasillary glands were
about the size of a hen's egg. These
glands are situated in the space under
the lower jaw, where the abcess of dis¬
temper (strangles) comes, but unlike
strangles, these never break and run,
and they are larger at times than oth¬
ers, and again get very small, but
never disappear. The animal seldom,
if ever, coughs, as in distemper, but
snorts or sneezes a good deal, and in
that way throws out a good deal of the
accumulated virus.
Mr. Stinson’s other stock, some five
or six, have been exposed to it, though
at present showing no signs of the dis¬
ease. The mule was purchased by Mr.
Stinson about the fifteenth of January
past and had a discharge from the nose,
then which was supposed to be a ship¬
ping cold. This is a form of disease
most to be feared because there is no
urgent symptoms. The true nature of
the disease may be overlooked by the
ordinary observor.
There is only one safe thing to do,
that is, to at once kill and bury the
affected animals deep, burn up all the
feedboxes and watertroughs and all
other places where the animal could
possibly leave the germ of this disease,
disinfect thoroughly with one quart
carbolic aoid (crude form) to each buck¬
et of whitewash in all the stalls aud
lots. This I ordered dona iu Laurens
oouuty Respectfully,
J. N. Cook, Veterinary Surgeon.
