CONDITION Q- THE CROPS.
The Cotton Crop Will Not l?e a* Lnrge as
Was Inspected—Good I’ricos Coming,
COTTON.
The bright prospect of a month ago
has vanished, and the present outlook
is about as poor as it could bo. The
rains of J uly produced a vigorous growth
of wood, and (luring that month the
plants were taking on fruit rapidly and
the outlook was encouraging for a large
crop. About tin first of August tho
rains ceased, and thou followed several
weeks of the hottest weather ever ex¬
perienced in the state. Iu addition to
tho heat, came drouth, causing the
plants to shod leaves, forms and even
young bolls. So hot and dry has the
weather boon that many of tho bolls
have opened prematurely, resulting in
grant loss. It is difficult to estimate the
damage to the crop. Raius now cannot
add any fruit to tho plants, but might
enable the half grown b ills to mature.
A very conservative estimate would be
25 to lit) per cent off from what was
promised on Aug. i. From the bad re¬
po ts from all the cotton growing states,
the present outlook is for a crop but lit¬
tle if any in excess of the last. If this
estimate is correct cott.m should bring
from 0 to 10 cents a pound to the
farmer, and I believe that price will be
reached whenever Liverpool recognizes
the disaster that has befallen tho crop.
COiiX.
The very fine promise of a month ago,
relative to this crop, has been somewhat
curtailed by the drouth and heat of Au¬
gust. The greater part of the crop was
secure, when the drouth came, but a
considerable amount, of late planted
corn, has been injured, and oven that
which was planted in good time, would
have tilled out aud made heavier corn,
had the heat ami drouth been less se¬
vere. Nevertheless tho state is blessed
with a crop sufficiently large for all or¬
dinary purposes, and there” will be no
need f 1 import corn for man or beast.

more northern counties, aud this valua¬

Question. —1. I have a piece of worn,
sandy laud, that I wish to bring up to
to a better ft state of fertility. 1 have just
sowed in peas, after manuring it with
ashes and acid phosphate and breaking
it deeply.- HoW shall I proceed further?
2 . I have a ten acre piece of ground
with a branch on one side of it. I think
with a ram I could irrigate this land at
a cost of $200 or .$.‘5 ) 0 . I want to raise
truck. Do you think I could do so suc¬
cessfully? .
:i. This land will make 1,000 pounds
of seed cotton to the acre. Is it good
enough to at once commence putting it
in garden truck?
4. Will it do to sow scarlet or crimson
clover behind the cotton pickers in the
fall?
5. What place in Georgia ships the
most garden truck?
Answer.—O n your worn, sandy land
just sowed ill peas (June 1 ), the plan
will he to cut the pea vines for liay
about Oct. 1 , or sooner if ready. Then
thoroughly break the laud, applying per
aero a flout 200 pounds of acid phosphate
ami 100 pound* of cottonseed meal
(there will be enough potash in the soil
if you applied a liberal dressing of ashes
recently), and sow the Crimson Clover,
harrowing it in. Next spring, you
should harvest a good crop of clover
hay, and at the qame time your land
will bo much better than at present,
both the peas and the clover having col¬
lected and added nitrogen to the soil.
Repeat the rotation of peas aud clover
again next year, and your land shonld
then be in condition to produce fail
crops. You will notice that by this
plan, while building up the land, you
will at tiie saino time bo getting remu¬
nerative crops of pea vine and clover
hay. I would not advise the sowing of
rye with the clover, as it would be of
no benefit.
2 . Tdo not think it would pay you to
attempt to irrigate ten acres by the use
of a ram and tank. I know that you
could not do it at an expense of $200 or
$300, and I doubt whether you could do
it at all by that system, as it would take
ail immense amount of water to irri
gate ten acres in truck. I think if you
could arrange to put the ten acres in
strawberries, aud also to water them if
necssary, it would pay .you better than
anything else. Wo frequently have a
dry May (like the last), when strawber¬
ries fail for want of water, and in such
an event, if yon cou'd water yours, they
would certainly prove profitable.
8 . If your land is full of humus you
might at once engage' in raising truck,
with tho liberal use of fertilizers. Ic
the hind is devoid of humus you had
better put scarlet clover on it this fall,
to be followed by peas next spring.
4. I don’t tliiuk it a good plan to sow
scarlet clover behind the cotton pickers,
on land- that must be tramped aud
packed. The ground, on the contrary,
should be thoroughy prepared aud fer¬
tilized, and the clover seed harrowed in
about the last of September.
5. Savannah ships more garden truck
than any other place in the state, and
some of the truck growers there have
made a good deal of money in the busi¬
ness. They have however, the advant¬
age of low freights by rail or steamship;
aud can put their products in the north¬
ern markets, much cheaper than you
can. Before engaging iu the truck
business, I would advise you to visit
Chattanooga, where they raise a vast
quantity of strawberries, as well as gar¬
den truck of various kinds. Examine
well the methods, and the crops culti¬
vated by the successful men in the busi¬
ness, and then decide upon vour course.
