DILI. ARP ON GEORGIA FARMERS,
II* Thinks it Pays to Farm and Has Views
on Wheat.
Bill Arp in Southern Cultivator.
But I will not arguo the matter any futthcr. My
friend Crawford agrees with me that we sow too
much wheat on the ground and ho thinks a half
bushel to the acre Is better than a bushel. He says
that his nabor, L. i\ Elam Is regarded as the best
w heat grower in Lincoln county, and generally
makes 20 bushels to the acre aud never sows more
than half a bushel. Now the estimate is that wo
sow annually iu Georgia 600,000 bushels of wheat,
end If we can save half of it, it Is
tig item. Lincoln county Is looming
front for tho quality
and quantity of its small grains. Her hnrveit this
year was 120,COO bushels of wheat. Five year* ago
she made an average crop of 1,.*>Q0 bushels. Now
she ranks next to Bartow with her 150,000 busheUi
ar d I have no doubt will soon stand at ^he head
of tie list. The Dallas wheat Is making her farm
era rich. My frieud Crawford does not appreciate
my theory c*

but that it was only an opinion without expe

satisfaction aud I want uo more northern wheat.

Colonel 1. W. Avfry, lu the Augusts Chronicle,
???met is hla lips over ths following highly flavored
subject.
Dr. J. II. Alexander has shown me a specimen
of*yrup made from watermelon Juice. It Is ?? very
thU k, insipid and dead sweet syrup, that soou
rails ou the ta*tc. lie has made it several times,
but nevar a satisfactory article. He took ten gal
lons oi JuUwaud boiled it down to on# and n quar
ter gallons. Mr. Tlmberlake has made it, getting
one gallon of syrup from fourteen gallon* oi Juice,
a syrup that the colored epicure seems to like very
much. His syrup is thick and sweet, something
like ion hum iu #oior. Mrs. Kusaell told me that
rome ol the countnr housewives arc In the
habit of using the melon juice to make the syrup
for fruit preserve*. It supplies a cheap and quite
a good substitute for sugar, the expensive element
lu the manufacture of preserve*. There seems to
be an agreement among those who have tried it
that the melon syrup needs something to en
liven it and relieve a certain insipidity that It not
t lcarant. It certainly Is liked by the colored fo
oter, tor whom It might be profitable to make It.
atid where, as in the case of destroying the mel
ons on a large scale for seed, or of the glut of the
market and the consequent waste of the fruit, a
good amount of the Juice can be utilized. It would
seem a fit thing to experiment and find out what
will remedy the natural defacts of this ayrup.
This melon industry must grow, and th# utilisa
tion of waste may become important.
