T0U0HE3 FARM AT EVERY POINT The Importance of Tltoroa»h Preparation For Planting Abljr Advocated—hall Planted Grain, Vineyards, Orchards and. Gardans—Whitewash For the Home. Mareh a Busy Month. Department of Agriculture, Atlanta, March 1, lb07. As was predicted and expected the rainfall in February has been very heavy, which in view of the previous deficiency is fortuuate for the coming year’s crops. But the recent continued wet weather has somewhat delayed the final preparations for planting. Where there has been thorough fall and winter plowing the farmer Is relieved of mnch of the vexation and worry of hur¬ ried preparation now. In such cases it is a comparatively easy matter to com¬ plete all preliminary work. PLOWING LANDS WHEN TOO WET. The great dauger is that farmers, who did not take advantage of the fine days of the fall and winter to keep the plows going, may be tempted now to plow their lands when too wet. In view of the short time before the crops are to be planted their anxiety to get their lands in condition to receive the seed, is par¬ donable. bnt no more grievous mistake was ever made than that of plowing when the soil Is reeking with moistnre. On the light sandy land s we may veil tore sooner after heavy rains than ou our stiffer clay soils, bnt even there the greatest discretion should be exercised. We know the temptation, when time is pressing and the sun shining, to do this work at all hazards, bnt we have seen fields so injured by such injudicious plowing that the effects could not be eradicated for months afterwards, aud the crops showed a corresponding falling off. It were better To reduce the in¬ tended area and put the remainder in thorough condition than to hasten over a greater number of acres at such man¬ ifest injury to the laud and loss to the crops, not to mention the additional annoyance aud worry in the subsequent cultivation of such injudiciously plowed fields. MARCH IS A BUST MONTH with the farmer in many other respects besides the preparation of the laud. There are terraces and ditches to be kept in order. After each heavy rain they should be examined, all breaks repaired and all weak points strengthened. All feuces not in repair should be righted, the fence rows cleared out and the trash burned. The growth from successive years shonld not be allowed to accumu¬ late, nor should it be allowed to encroach further and further each year on the cultivated land. The fences aud fence oornors should bo kept clean. By this plan we not only preserve an appearance of greater neatness, but many destruc¬ tive insect and fungus agents, which are becoming a menace to our agricul¬ ture, are checked. FALL PLANTED GRAIN. If the fall planted graiu is not vigor¬ ous but shows a silky, yellow appear¬ ance, it should receive a top dressing of some nitrogenous fertilizer, nitrate of soda or cotton seed meal, the former to be applied just before a rain, from 60 to 100 pounds to the acre; the latter at any convenient time, abont 200 pounds to the acre. VINEYARDS, ORCHARDS AND GARDENS also need looking after. All pruuings, accumulated trash aud refuse should be gathered up and burned, for the same reason that we destroy these harbors for insect life end fungus diseases hi our fence corners. The fruit grower and gardener should wage a perpetual war¬ fare on these enemies, which too often •re allowed to gaiu a firm foothold be¬ fore wo are aware of their presence, and then the troubles and expenses from their depredations are inevitable. A touch of whitewash here and there, as opportunity occurs, shonld be also regarded as one of the duties of this early spring month. It is astonishing the power which is in one barrel of lime, to add to the cheerfulness and the neatness of a farm home, and its effect goes through the entire year. It is a purifier as well as a beautifier. Where stables, out houses and even the dwelling receive a thorough coat of whitewash, inside and out, once a year, sanitary conditions are mnoh improved and the Tisk from contagious and infec¬ tious diseases much lessened. Through¬ out the state March is the CORN PLANTING MONTH. In the more sonthern sections planting Is already under way. for Necessarily the most favorable time this work in any particular locality must vary some what with the season, and with local “«5°”£ heavy lands with a sonthern exposure ar 0 known to warm up more rapidly, prevail, aud of course the planting sea Methods of plauting also vary with these conditions. We have found, however, that ou the greater portion of onr ordinary com land the double foot plow does the most effective work. Pre less the land is rioh or very highly ma ts&.'sjpifzi'izrz nured it is well to give plenty of dis- j tory wor ^ lea ving a slight ridge on the y ,“,17 excess of water settling on them. Bv this method the plants will come uu slightly below the surrounding surface, and at each plowing a little dirt cau be thrown towards them until, wheu the 's:v.T,“; ld y k ! so strongly advocated by David Dickson, and from wnioh he realised such won- 1 j Ihe derful results. He maintained that as j greatest uanger to our corn crop was our usual summer drouth, all our efforts should be directed to protecting it agaiust snob a contingency, and that corn so planted and cnltivated was much less liable to injury from bed. ibis cause Of than when planted on a high course on bottom or moist lands the opposite plan should be followed. grasses and clovers. March is the favorite month for eeeoiug grasses and clovers. As mentioned in February’s Talk these may, if preferred, he sown ou the growing grain fields, in which case a light harrow should be run over the fields before the grass or clover seeds are scattered. To obtain the best re¬ salts, a roller should tlieu be passed over the laud. This will settle the seeas, aud the harrowing and ro ling, so far trout injuriug the youug graiu, will be found h positive benefit. They en¬ courage tillerir.g. aud fields, which have been so treated, will in a short while take on a fresh, vigorous growth. All things considered, it is best to sow grass and olover ou lapd specially and thoroughly prepared and fertilized for their reception, but some times this is not practicable, and we have known very good results from the above plan. PREPARATION FOR COTTON is also one of the pressing duties of this busy month. In the southern part of the stata cotton plauting often begins during the latter part of the month. In making preparations for this crop we should remember that while it responds promptly to judicious and liberal fer¬ tilizing, the profits from such fertiliz¬ ing are much increased by careful prep¬ aration of the goil, not only by actual plowing, but by mechanical treatment. benefit Where lauds have had the of renovating crops as cow peas or clover, or have been treated with applications of barnyard manure, they are in mnch better receptive condition for commer¬ cial fertilizers than when they lack or¬ ganic matter. The usual application of 200 pounds per acre in such land will be far more effective than double that number of pounds on well worn fields. The secret of using commer¬ cial fertilizers with profit is to put the land in such receptive condi¬ tion that it will at once respond to the use of the concentrated manure, be the application small or large, aud this pre¬ paratory work is best done by deep plow¬ ing aud renovating crops. Iu the in¬ quiry columns will be found several questions bearing on this subject. HOGS. The pigs intended for pork should be pushed forward rapidly. It has been said with truth, that the most profitable hogs are those whicli never see a Christ¬ mas. Spring pigs pushed to maturity not only make the best meat, but show the most clear profit. They should not be allowed to lack for food or proper at¬ tention. Plenty of good wholesome food, pure water and clean quarters will almost insure success. R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner.

I am now in reeeipfcof a Bulletin from the North Carolina Experiment Station exposing this same rascal for selling his fraudu¬ lent formula in North Carolina In that state he claims to be from Georgia, in this he gives North Carolina as his residence. I have advertised this par ticular rascal so thoroughly, simply to put the farmers on iheir-guard all vendors of fertilizer formulas. Asa rule they are rascals, and unless they can show the indorsement of their for mulas by this department, they should be promptly arrested and punished, Should the aforemen tioued Butler again make his appearance in Georgia.

I again repeat that this de¬ partment is at all times ready to 'furnish good formulas for making composts, and they can be had by simply writing to this office. Another point to which I wish to call the attention of the farm¬ ers is this: Sometimes guano or cotton¬ seed meal is offered for sale, either un¬ tagged or with tags of the previous year on the sacks. This is a violation of the law and subjects the manufacturer, upon conviction, to the penalty of fine or imprisonment, or both. The manu¬ facturers should know the law on the subject, and if they violate it they ought to snffer. Occasionally a tag will acci¬ dentally be removed from a sack, and, of course, the law would not apply in such a case,—State Agricultural De¬ partment. Barnyard Manure For Cotton. Question. —Is barnyard manure a good fertilizer for cotton ? I used it last year, bnt the results did not come np to my expectations. Answbb.— We have found that barn¬ yard manure acts more effectually for cotton, When used as a soil improver rather than a direct fertilizer. If barn¬ yard manure is to be used, it is more profitable to compost it some time pre¬ vious to its application to the land, com¬ bining with it acid phosphate and pot¬ ash in some form. These not only have a specific value, bnt by certain chemi¬ cal combinations with the elements in the mannre render it more valuable than when in its natural condition.
