CONDITION 07 THI CROPS. I I'i'sli Grow Hi ar.il Vigor Tnkeji On SiiuM, Krooni Un.vy Rains. For the past- two ox* three weeks rains have been quite general over the state, mill in <’■ -n sequence the growing crops lme taken ou fresh growth and vigor. COTTON. In most of the counties there 1 ms been too lniu li min for this crop, and unless there is very rpeedily more sunshine and less moisture the damage will bn very serious. Complaints are coming iu from various points of rust, black rot, blight, shedding, etc., and all these are aggravated by excessive rain, par-, ti ubirly 0:1 the light lands of the state. The fields arc generally too wet to plow, and f,rass is getting troublesome in some localities. The crop is just at its critical stage, and tlie next few weeks will decide as to the result. At this date I think the outlook poor for a full crop in Georgia. Fair weather, with occasional moderate rains, is what the plant needs now, but in place of these ! AVI' are having cloudy weather w;'b 'i ivy rains. CORN. This crop has improved wonderfully in the past few weeks, and the state is now almost sure of a plentiful supply of this, oar most valuable grain crop. The very early corn in South and Mid¬ dle Georgia has been seriously injured by the dry weathor of May ami .time, and yet iix many cases this corn, with a dwarfed stalk, and looking as though it j Jias put on bold shoots and been will revived, make: j early three-fourths is but of a good crop The very j corn a small proportion of! the crop, and the rest is making all that j •no laud and cultivation given it renders ! possible. tain Some reports state that cer- I counties will make double the crop , I made last year, and all report excellent j),o>pects. A large crop is now assured in isouth and Middle Georgia, and two more wests will make the crop safe in North Georgia. There has been some injury to bottom lands from excess of to^vovkVheml'bm does ‘taih* a^gShi! h not amount ' to much. fruit.

These minor crops, as they are called, (though of great importance and well, service to the farmers) aro all doing now that the rains hayo started them to proving, and the prospect is excellent for an abundant yield of each oi hem. Tbo area sowed in peas is largo, and it is evident that Georgia farmers hare learned that there is noYheaper the fertility ot better of method their lands for keep- than mg np annually in by-sowing their cow farms. peas every Past available acre on ures have greatly improved in the past few*.weeks and fire now very fine. Gar dens doing well also, as regards the later vegetables. Grain Weevils and Moths. Question.— Please griro me some in¬ formation as to grain weevils and moths. •Answer.—T he granary weevil, which is probably the one to which you refer, is an indoor insect and on account of having lost the use of its wings does 11 r v'-utura out into the grain fields. The mature female punctures the grain with if snout and insert;; an egg, from which is hatched a white, fleshy, leg le.--. larva, which feeds and develops within the hull. The adult weevils also gnaw into the grain and devour the mealy interior and probably do as much damage as the larva. The Angoumois grain moth is uu doubn di.' one of the most injurious in¬ sect i Gi.it we have in this state infect¬ ing the grains. It docs r t coniine it¬ self to the grain stored in cribsaud bins, but also attacks standing grain in the fields. The first white, but soon red eggs, are deposited between the rows of gra la of the ears of corn either singly or in clusters of about two dozen, both in tin field and in the granary. Prom tin 0 ■ ; are hatched, in four or five d . ruin te caterpillars which burrow in-.., the kbrnois and devour the starchy interior. In about three weeks this e;.n rpillar reaches maturity, enters the chrysalis stage, and in a few days eiwvg-os as a winged moth, the females of which proceed to deposit eggs for an¬ other brood. There aro five or six hr-M.ds during one season, and they in the grain as caterpillars. A cheap and effective remedy for in¬ sects injurious' to stored grain is fumi¬ gating with biSulpbide of carbon. The bins should be made as nearly airtight as possible by the use of boards and In uy blankets; then the liquid should be poured into several small dishes dis¬ tributed over the grain, using from 1 to 1 q, pounds for every 100 bushels of g ain. The. liquid evaporates very rap¬ idly, and the gas being heavier than the air-desceuds and permeates the whole mass of corn, killing all insect life with which it comes in contact. The bin sh mid be kept closed for six hours or mure, and then the covering removed and the doors and ventilators, opened. Bisulphide of carbon is poisonous and highly inflammable and fire in any shape should not be brought near it. It, how¬ ever, does not injure the edible or germi¬ nating principles of the grain unless used in great excess. Hoping that this is the information desired, I remain, V. M. Scott, Entomologist. Fertilizer Terms In Use. Quf.stion. — 1 . Is the term (very haudy) “ash element” now in use in the fertilizer trade and does it w.eau a.rid phosphate and kainit, or any ^Y’ro-Xout “South Carolina rock” and don't know if it has been treated with sulphuric acid or not. Am I right in saying that “floats” is the finely ground phosphate South the Carolina rock and acid same (floats) treated with sulphuric acid, not necessarily ground so fine ? Is “acid phosphate” practically identical with the old “superphosphate of liuie', ’' except that burnt bone was used instead of South Carolina rock? Answer. — 1 . The term “ash element” never lias been used in the fertilizer trftde . , T lt : 61m - 1 , the ,, ashes , left , . - P - v mea!ls upon burning any plant. Such ashes contain some phosphoric acid. some lu-tasli and also other salts that have , boeu A ta keu up by the ^ plant from „ the soil.

She did not know as much as her moth¬ er, nor did she think that her judgement was as good as that of her grandmother. She did not go to parties by the time she was ten years old and stay till after midnight, dancing with chance young men who happened to be present. She went to bed in season, and doubtless she said her prayers, and slept the sleep of innocence, rose up in the morning, happy and capable of giving happi ness. And now, if there is an old-fashioned girl in the world to-day, may heaven bless and keep her and raise up others like her,—Bishop Cosgrove. Don’t forget that education is the gateway to all refoims. Don’t stand around barefoot¬ ed waiting for dead men’s shoes. Don’t think a bluff is a good substitute for an education, Don’t forget that smart men can learn many things from fools. Don’t believe that a woman believes all a man believes she believes. Don’t think a dog is a dentist because lie occasionally inserts teeth. NOTICE. I will buy all beef cattle, also good milch cows.
