An early oat crop rarely foils except
from winter killing. Tnis crop should

follow a crop that has been well culti*

would be sufficiently deep, and they
should be plowed iu with a cultivator

We regard barley a most admirable

weens. On thinner land you can seed 1
rye, which will always grow and make
a good-paying green food crop. While
not the best feed, it is reliable, always
coming in when most needed. Colonel
James M. Smith of Oglethorpe county
said that he would hardly know how tc
farm without raising barley ana rye foi
spring feeding. The various vetches
and clover, red, crimson or burr,»an
useful and should be seeded down thif
month.
Y» T e would not advise every farmer tc
plant all of these for winter crops. Tha¬
is a matter of choice to be determined
by surrounding conditions; but no farm¬
er can afford to be without them.
THE PROFITS OF RICE CULTURE.
Although there is so much land in
Georgia suited to the profitable eulriva*
t-ion cf rice, there has been a great fall¬
ing off in its production in tnis star*
during the last few year-:. And yel
there is no mere profitable crop than
rice for some sections of our state, es
peciailv along the seaboard. We ar-i
indebted to Oswald Wilson, in the Sep
tembur number of the Southern Farm
Ylagzaiae, for some valuable informa*
tion concerning this important cereal
The average value per acre cf rief
is $30.00, less the cost of irrigation,
whicu amounts to about $0 00. Accord
ing to the reports of the United States
census the average value per acre ol
corn in 1000 was $9.02; of wheat, $7.61
of oats, $7.63.
The three groat staple crops of the
world, corn wheat and oats, have an ag
gregate production of more than 8,500,*
000,000 bushels and a market value oi
neiT ! r S L° >0 670J1O0. The production
Of rice is 71,074,369,193 pounds value *
at $2,962,974,781. It is the principal
diet oi 800,000,000 people, or more than
54 per cent of the entire population of
the world.
Although rice has been grown in the
United States from the earliest period
of our history, it is only of late year;
that it has reached much development.
In Louisiana and Texas rice'culture ha
become a great industry with a capital
of $5,000,000 invested in 100 canals.
1,500 miles in extent and capable, uudei
present water conditions, of flooding
800,000 acres.
The consumption of rice in the United
States is increasing steadily, and thers
is growing demand for it. Hence there
is very little danger of over-production.
Wherever the conditions are favorable
will it not be profitable to pay more at¬
tention to the cultivation of this great
cereal ?
Abundance of wholesome food for our
people shouid be one great aim cf the
agriculturists of our state, ana rice is
already one of the principal articles oi
diet in almost every Georgia home.
THE MEANS OF INDEPENDENCE.
Wo have at our command the mean!
of independence in our soil, adapted ta
the cultivation of every product of the
temperate zone and to some of those oi
the tropics. There is no need for ua to
go west for our corn and wheat, oul
hay and meat. We can produce them
all at home, ana with onr great money
crop, cotton, as a surplus, be not only
self-sustaining, but, iu common with
the farmers of other southern states,
become the wealthiest agriculturists oi
the world. O. B. Stevens, Coin’r.
