An early oat crop rarely foils except from winter killing. Tnis crop should be put upon good land 3ibe hi iy fertil ized. We uo not deem it i secossary tc plow in oats very deeply, provided they follow a crop that has been well culti* rated during the year. T«o inches would be sufficiently deep, and they should be plowed iu with a cultivator or short turning plow Ir is best to seed heavily, thus allowing for the loss oi Eomc grain by freezes.

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.
