IMPORTANT QUESTIONS DISCUSSED
File Cotton Crop Cut Off at Eea-tt a Third
by the Heat and Dryness of the
Fast Two Months—Farmers Considering
the Expediency of Holding Their Cotton
For Higher Trices, Etc.
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 1, 1890,
Looking over the cotton fields today,
one scarcely recognizes them as the
same which were a month ago laden ’
with the promise of an abundant crop—
at that time the plants were in luxuri
ant growth, although the crop as a
rule, got a late start in the spring, the
following seasons were very propitious,
and thus the farmers had ample oppor
tunity to accomplish the first workings
promptly, therefore when the needed
rains in June began everything was fa
vorable, and from tiiat time the crop
continued to improve so steadily that
the prospect for a heavy yield ivas never
more premising. On all sides the crop
was greeted by the glossy, dark green
of the rapidly maturing plants. The
bottom crop was maturing and the mid
dle and top crops fast forming, when
the drouth of July aud August began.
This has been so fierce and so long con
tinued that in many instances, partic
ularly in the late planted cotton fields,
the ground is covered with the forms
and young bolls of the middle and top
crops, and a largo percent of the more
mature bottom crop, which still clings
to the stalks, has been prematurely
forced open by the intense heat and dry
ness. The results are an inferior staple
and a stained sample. Under these
conditions, which are not confined to
oui- own state, but are even iutensifi-d
in Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Lou
isiana and Arkansas, the certainty of a
short crop aud consequent higli prices
seem a foregone conclusion—and many
fanners are considering
the advisability of holding cotton
for better prices than are now quoted.
To give positive advice on this question
is as risky as predicting the weather,
or standing security for the amiability
of a Georgia inule. Each individual
farmer must be guided by his own judg
ment and by circumstances, which ren
der his selling at an early day import
ant or immaterial to his own business
interests. The visible supply of otton
is very short, and the crop is certainly
cut oil at least a third, if not more, but
on the other hand spinners are over
crowded with goods, many of the mills
have shut down or are xvorkiug on
shorter time, added to which the finan
cial crisis renders all predictions as to
the probable outcome extremely uncer*
tain. Speculation also controls the
market to a great extent.
E ARI Y AND I.ATE PLANTED COTTON.
; What is of equal importance to us and
a lesson which we can take to heart and
Study xvith profit is the superiority of
j the crop on the early planted and well
! prepared cotton fields over that, which
was carelessly prepared for and planted
late. Even the inexperienced eye can
detect the difference at sight. On my
own farm I insisted that- a portion of
the cotton crop should be planted early
—and though some of the tenants did
I the work under protest, they are today
rejoicing, that in these fields at least, a
I part of the fruit remains. Where the cot
’ ton was planted early, land well and
! deeply prepared and the manuring ju
diciously done, the per cent of grown
-bols is very encouraging. The lesson
| to bo learned is that having attended to
the preliminaries of thorough prepara
tion, it is safer to make one, two, or oven
three plantings with intervals between
than to trust our entire crop to one
planting—and also that careless meth
ods do not pay. We not only take
greater chances on some portion hitting
I the seasons properly, but by planting
at intervals, the ease of handling the
■ crop is greatly increased because the
cultivations of each planting will fol-
I low each other in such order as to avoid
■ the unprofitable rush, which is inevita
• bio when all are pressing for attention
at the same time. The same may bo
said of the gathering.
INCREASING THE YIELD OF LINT
to each pound of seed cotton, is an
' other subject for profitable study and
I progress. By systematic work on this
line the sugar beet has been made to
yield double the proportion of sughr that
it once did. Wheat, corn, oats, barley,
i all have, by the same careful methods
of saving and selecting seed, judiciously
applying fertilizers and thorough prep
aration and cultivation, been made to
increase the proportion of grain as com
pared to stalk, chaff, etc. Cotton is
I equally susceptible to improvement. A
few farmers have realized the import
ance and the profit of this work, and
from much of the improved seed which
; they have placed on the market, xve |
gain a more well balanced plant and a
larger yield of lint, but the majority of
farmers, even those who have invested
in these high priced seed, too often
suffer them to lapse into mediocrity—
through carelessness after selection.
The seed for the succeeding crop is
taken indiscriminately from the seed
1 pile—or if, certain pickings are selected,
there is no distinction made as to the
mature and immature bolls, all are
thrown into one common pile, and nat
urally when planting time comes the
inferior seed stand an equal chance
with the good. The hoe hand can mark
no difference in the plants, xvhich
spring from perfect or from inferior
seed, and often the former is sacrificed,
in the process of bringing the crop to a ,
“stand,” to give place to the latter.
CAREFUL SEED SLECTION
is always important, but much more so
this year than usual, because of the
fcumber of immature bolls, which have
been forced open by the long drouth,
i The average proportion of lint to seed
in the usual run of cotton is about one
third; that is, about 100 pounds of lint
to 800 pounds of seed cotton, although
we have known the amount of lint to
be considerably increased. Any process
•f preparation, fertilization and culti
vation which will increase the ratio of
lint without a corresponding increase in
the other ports of the plant, will do
much to reduce the cost of production,
i
which should be our constant aim. It i
is known that au excess of nitrogen
will produce a luxuriant weed growth
with a diminished yield of fruit. It is
also shown by analysis that the lint is
largely composed of potash. Keeping
these facts in mind and a so remember
ing that to attain its highest benefit the
plant food for cotton mu-t be in imme
diately available condition, xve must i
| conclude that the potash in our fertiliz
ers for cotton should be abundant aud
available, while the ammonia and phos
phorio acid, though equally available, !
should be more restricted as to quantity,
1 otherwise, we develop the plant where
we do not need it, that is, in stalk, fol- i
j iage and seed aud restrict its production
' of lint, which is just the reverse of
what we desire to accomplish. As long
as we hare to Use these artificial ferti-’
lizers to produce our cotton, we should
i certainly study to use them to the best
' advantage, in order to gain a large yield
. of lint with a comparative small propor
' tion of the other parts of the plant.
Another subject to which xve should
give more attention is the
BALING OF OUR COTTON.
The Savannah Cotton Exchange has
sent out the following circular letter,
which is of importance to cotton plant
i ers:
■ For the past few rears complaints
from Europe as to the condition of
I American cotton bales has steadily in
creased, and so much so was this the
case this year, that the Liverpool ex
change issued a circular imposing a pen
alty on all cotton that was not up to a
certain standard as to condition. Bv
; the most urgent effort the penalty has
i been postponed for another season, but
in the meantime all handlers and pack
ers of bales should strive for an improve
ment,
“At a convention held in Augusta
in April last, nt whi h Charleston, Sa
vannah and other cities were repre
sented, the following resolutions were
adopted as recommendations to the giu
nots and packers ot cotton:
“That the bales should be well cov
ered with a good quality of bagging,
weighing not less than two pounds to
the yard.
“That each bale should bo tied with
six ties of the standard sizo.
“That the bale should be made i i
boxes measuring 28 inches in width by
58 inches in length.
“A uniform bale of 28x58 inches can
be easily attained at a very small ex
pense by nailing strips of wood in boxes
that are now larger,
“Bales of all one size xvill certainly
facilitate business and be a benefit to
every one in the trade, but especially so
to the freight steamers, and such cot
ton will undoubtedly command a less
rate of freight, which really goes to the
seller. You are therefore requested to
comply with the foregoing recommen
dations and thus assist in improving the
condition of the American cotton bales.”
The penalty referred to was imposed
by the Liverpool Cotton association and
Was a deduction of 5 pounds from the
weight of each bale found to be covered
with inferior bagging and ties, or in
otherwise bad conditi n. This associa
tion also recommends the size mentioned
above, 28 inches xvide by 58 inches long.
This uniformity in size will facilitate
hand ing and transportation, vessels
will be enabled to store more cotton in
the same space, which will lower freights
and result in higher prices in our home
markets. A reform in this matter would
thus result in direct benefit to us, the
producers. Very few farm vs realize
that there is at present a deduction made
on account of the bad condition in which
American cotton reaches the Liverpool
market, and that this loss falls directly
on themselves. It is deducted before
the price is fixed.
THE COTTON TIB TRUST.
Learning that a combine is in force
to wring from the farmers a heavy ag
gregate expense in the increased price
of cotton ties, I, as the representative of
the farming industry of Georgia, and in
comp iance with numerous appeals from
farmers, have set on foot inquiries as to
the practicability of using wire as a sub
stitute. Had the trust advanced the
price in moderation no complaint would
have been made, but to more than
double the price of ties, without any
corresponding advance in their cost, and
to endeavor to force this additional
price from the farmers when they were
considered powerless to prevent the
gouge, has excited universal indigna
tion. The wire ties, while costing less
than the stool, are of lighter weight and
therefore bring the farmer loss in the
final disposal of his cotton, but the al
most universal fooling seems to bo that
the greed, which would thus seek to
rob the farmers, should be rebuked, and
that the wire tie should be used, even if
it costs a little more. The following
will give the farmers a clear idea of
what has been and what is still being
done to circumvent the plans of this
trust, which is endeavoring, by such un
fair methods, to fores over $1,500,000
from the cotton planters of the south:
The Cotton Tie Trust.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 3.—The State
Department of Agriculture has taken
hold of the cotton tie trust and will
make investigations for the purpose of
finding a substitute for the tics that
have been cornered.
Commissioner R. T. Nesbitt today is
sued the folloxving manifesto on the
subject.
“To the Farmers of Georgia and the
South: Asew r years ago we were con
fronted by a gigantic monopoly, the
bagging trust, which tried to force from
the farmers thousands of dollars which
they, in their depressed condition, could
ill afford to lose. By united efforts on
the part of the farmers this evil xvas
averted, and the octopus, which had
fastened itself on the agricultural indus
try, was destroyed.
“Today we are confronted by similar
trouble. The manufacturers of cotton
ties have formed another great combi
nation, and without any cause except to
; gratify an unlawful greed, have agreed
to raise the price of their goods 100 per
cent. If the price of iron had advanced
there might be some reason for this ac
tion, but iron was never cheaper, and
the same may be said of coal and labor.
The fact is simply that an effort is being
made to force the farmers of the south
to contribute millions to swell the profits
of a powerful combination of manufac
turers. The farmers are in good condi
tion just now to fight this trust. They
have their provisions. There are few
debts to be met until later, and there
fore no pressing necessity to force their
cotton on the market. I would advise
that they hold meetings in every section
of the south and denounce this "attempt
to defraud them of their earnings. At
the same time let them advise together
as to xvhat is the best way to meet this
new enemy. Meanwhile this depart
ment will make investigation as to sub
stitutes for cotton ties, as wi 1 meet the
requirements of durability and safety.
“(Signed) R. T. Nesbitt,
“Depai-tmeut of Agriculture.”
After careful investigation and the
i reception of encouraging letters from
farmers in all sections, we issued the
following:
"Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 21 —To the
Farmers of Georgia: This department
I has been investigating the question of
substituting wire ties for the flat ties
heretofore used ir« baling cotton, and I
' believ now that a satisfactory solution
of the question has been reached. I
now urge upon the fanners of this and
the other cotton growing states to meet
together in their respective counties and
devise plans for securing wire ties. If
necessary delay packing yaur cotton for
a short time in order that you may get
the wire ties,
“The following letters explain the
matter. The ties used by Mr. George
W. Truitt are made by the Continental
Wire Company, Laclede building. St.
Louis, Mo. They weigh 18 pounds to
the bundle aud are offered at 50 cents a
I bundle (30 ties) on the cars ar St Loui«
i in car load lots or 60 cents In smaller
■ quantities.
I "The ties recommended by the Farm
ers’ Alliance Exchange of South Caro-
l lina can be purchased from Washburn
<fc Moen Manufacturing Company, 241 i
‘ Pearl street. New Yotk. They weigh
37pounds to the bundle and will cost
90 cents a bundle laid down in Atlanta.
Any further information desired will
be cheerfully furnished upon applica
tion to this department.
“R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner.”
Mr. Truitt writes that the wire ties
are a success in every particular, and
Mr. Duncan, manager of the Farmers’
Alliance Exchange of South Carolina,
urges its adoption at once. Many other
letters indicate that it has been given
! a favorable reception, and has stood
tests as to strength, durability, and in
jury to bagging. The heavier wire is
preferred.
WORK FOR THE MONTH.
Push the fattening hogs. Every pound
of flesh gained as the weather grows
colder is made at additional expense.
Ilogs which are ready for the knife the
! first cold spell make the best and cheap
est meat. Give them variety of food
and see that they are kept in clean
, quarters, with plenty of pure water to j
drink. Give an occasional dose of cop- ;
i peras, and keep ashes and salt mixed '
dry where they can easily reach it. Fall i
oats should be sown—the land well pre- |
, pared and fertilized. Also put in the ,
crops of rye and barley. Where the lo- I
cation is suitable the grasses and clovers :
should also be sown. They require rich j
land and a fine, deep seed bed. Gather |
. the cotton as carefully as circumstances |
will admit. The prematurely opened
bolls will require more care than is us-
' ual. Don’t gin when damp, and don’t
leave exposed to the weather.
R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner.
, CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
The Cotton Crop Will Not Be id Tiirj*e
Was Expected—Good I’ricoK Coining.
COTTON.
' The bright prospect of a month ago
has Vanished, and the present outlook
iis about as poor as it could be. The I
rains of July produced a vigorous growth I
■ of weed, and during that month the
1 plants were taking on fruit rapidly and ]
the outlook was encouraging for a large 1
crop. About the first of August the
1 rains ceased, and then followed several !
( weeks of the hottest weather ever ex- j
, pcrienced in the state. In adda/ron to ■
i the heat, camo drouth, causing the ■
1 plants to shed leaves, forms and even
. young bolls. So hot and dry has the
weather been that many of the bolls
' have opened prematurely, resulting in
’ gr at loss. It is difficult to estimate the
’ damage to the crop. Rains now cannot I
1 add any fruit to the plants, but might
enable the half grown bolls to mature, i
| A very conservative estimate tvould bo
’ 25 to 30 per cent off from what was
promised on Aug. 1. From the bad re
po ts from all the cotton growing states,
, the present outlook is for a crop but lit
tle if any in excess of the last. If this
, estimate is correct cotton should bring
i from 9 to 10 cents a pound to the
, farmer, and I believe that price will bo
t reached whenever Liverpool recognizes
, the disaster that has befallen the crop.
CORN.
’ The very fine promise of a month ago,
I relative to this crop, has been somewhat
1 curtailed by the drouth and heat of Au
gust. The greater part of the crop was
I secure, when the drouth came, but a
I considerable amount of late planted
1 corn, has been injured, and even that
1 which was planted in good time, would
have filled out and made heavier corn,
’ had the heat and drouth been less se-
I vere. Nevertheless the state is blessed
* with a crop sufficiently large for all or-
• dinary purposes, and there will be no
: need to import corn for man or beast.
’ Fodder pulling is over except in the
I more northern counties, aud this valua
’ ble product has been saved in fine con-
> dition.
f
r SORGHUM, SUGAR CANE, ETC.
, These crops though injured by the
heat, are in fairly good condition, and
> promise an average yield. Grinding ol
the former will very soon commence in
North Georgia.
SWEET POTATOES, ETC.
* Sweet potatoes will be abundant,
i though iu some cases those planted late
[ ■ will make nothing. Gardens, as a rule,
p ' have burnt up, and very few turnips
have been sowed, the lack of moisture
J rendering it impossible to properly pre
pare the ground. Ground peas and rice
. tiave both made fair crops, being well
s advanced toward maturity before the
August drouth came.
FRUIT.
' j The Georgia fruit crop, except apples,
, has all been marketed and at prices
t which probably left a fair profit to the
( growers.
STOCK.
i Condition good all over the state,
i with very few reports of sickness of
t any kind. Plenty of corn has a ten
dency to keep stock in good order aud
healthy, and following the fine corn
• crop of last year, the department has
t noticed a great diminution iu the re
ports of cholera and other diseases
i among hogs, and hollow horn, hollow
I tail, etc., among cattle.

J exploded here. Four men on the engine
. at the time were injured. One of them.
Char.es Anderson, a Swedish machinist,
was so badly scalded that it is thought

, and was on a trial trip.
’ Columbus Southern Sale Postponed.
Atlanta, Sept. 2.—The sale of the
: Columbus Southern railroad, which was
to take place Sept. 10, has been post-
’ poned. This was done on the request
of some of the bondholders. It is gen-
' erally supposed that the road will be

General Sam Thomas and Ryan,
and that it will be merged either with
the Southern or with the Central.
