Since ocr ia-.i letter many changes have taktm 2 Ecu on the farm, and much good work has been done in most ad sections of the state, The harvesting of wheat and oars began some weeks since in South Georgia with a fairly good yield of wheat, but the oat crop will be short, owing to the fact that the weather conditions for both fail and spring were uupropitious for seed ing, and many sections have suffered for the want of rain in May. From our crop roports it will be seen that the acreage in corn has been very materially in creased this year, amounting to 2-1 per cent over last year, Wheat shows on increase of Id per cent, It would have been much higher had the weather conditions for seeding last fall been fa¬ vorable. W e arc encouraged to believe that in the future Georgia will raise tier own corn and wheat and have tuisgrain ground into meal and flour by mills within the border* of our own state. Why not? Can wo afford longer not to do so? Now, when you have harvested your emall grain crop, wo would urge the farmers to utilize every available aero of land by planting it in cowpeas. The cow pea is the salvation of our wornout and wasted lauds, it is the salvation of our uplands, our lowlands, our rich lands and onr poor lauds—wo bolieve, too, that it will bo the solution of the fertilizer question. Plant one-half your land in peas and in fivo years you can curtail your expense for guano one half, and your crops will yield as much as they do under the present system. After trying this plan for ten rears ,we believe that you would find it necessary to buy very little of the 'high priced ammoniated guanos, if any at all. In some way wo must de¬ crease the purchase of commercial fcrtil iirnt, and this, in our judgment, can bo done by planting large j>ea crops ami making your own guano at home. This cannot bo done ut once, but could ba hcoompushed in a few years. Won’t you begin now—this season—and plant your lauds in peas? We can only hint at these matters, and cannot take space to elaborate them. Won’t you make this a meiuorablo 3 ’enr for u large pea crop, and thereby not only improve your lands, but obtain a splendid forage crop besides? HEDUCTION OF COTTON' ACUKAOB. Wo aro glad to announce a tv tl ac¬ tion of tlio cotton acreage, nor only in Georgia, but throughout tiie entire cot¬ ton belt. There has also been a reduction in the amount of com¬ mercial fertilizers used. While the reduction of cotton acreage has not .been as large as wo might have wished, still wc have made a good showing. For the season of 1897 and ji898 about Georgia 428,000 used tons up of commercial to June i, fertvl Sizers. For the season of 1898 and 1S!K) 'Georgia used up to Juno 1, 1899, 885,000 tons, or al per cent less ihnn last season. Last season Georgia spent the enormous sum, in round numbers, of 18.500,000 for commercial fertilisers. For this season Georgia spent nb >ut $0,700,000 for commercial fertilizers. Thus about $1,750,000 have been saved to the farmers of this state. We must not forget that a considerable amount of the fertilizers for this season was used in the increased acreage of wheat, and other crop* than cot¬ ton, for by reference to our crop re¬ ports it Will be seen that the wheat and corn acreage has been very materially increased. Hence we can safely osti mate that the amount of commercial (fertilizers has been reduced xio percent as applied to the cotton crop alone. Wo [note with pleasure that other states (have also reduced their cotton acreage. 'In our judgment, the reduction of tho cotton acreage in some of tho Special Millinery Notice.

We hare l>een in direct cation with the Departments of Agn culture for the various cotton producing states, anti from the information re ceived from such sources we are led to believe that the cotton acreage for the entire cotton belt has been reduced at least IS per cent this season, We are mindful that other sources place this reduction at only 10 per cent, but we believe that time will prove that we are right in this estimate. The Georgia State Board of Entoiaol ogy lias recently issued a bulletin deal ing with the insect pests and fiv.igou* diseases, designated as dangerously in¬ jurious to plants, with suggestions for remedial work, for distribution among the farmers and fruit growers of the state. This publication will he sent free to all such interested persons who make application for it to W. M. Scott, State Entomologist-, Atlanta, Ga. The bulletin should be of great interest, not only to those who are already iroubled with these pests, but also to those whose premises are at present apparently free. O. B. Stkvb.vs, Commissioner.
