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.

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. R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner of Agriculture. 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. ANOTHER REPORT. Dr. Coofr, the Vertlaary Surgeon, Investl gates Supposed Glanders Near Buford Buford, Ga., April 4.
