CROP .REPORT
FOR AUGUST, OF GEORGIA'S COM
MISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
SOMETHING ABOUT COTTON, CORN, MEL
ONS AND " INSPECTIONS—ANALYSES AND
STATISTICS OF FERTILIZERS.
The cotton crop has a lit tle morf* fThrif
maintained the “condition and pros
pects’’icported fur July Ist. In North
Georgia the condition is 92 against 1)0,
one month ago; Middle Georgia, 87
against 86; Southwest Georgia, Do
against 91; East Georgia, 80 against 77;
while Southeast Georgia has fallen to 92
against 94 The genera'l average of the
state is 89 against 88. The average con
dition of the crop for the state, August
Ist, 1887, was loi, and this figure was
thought to be too low at the time; but
the remarkably severe storm of August
4, 1887, reduced the condition at once to
90. The condition of the crop may;,
therefore, be described as one point less
promising than that of the crop of 1887,
on August sth, or after the storm alluded
to.
The condition of the corn crop has
materially improved since last repott, the
advance being mainly in North and Mid
dle Georgia, and Southwest Georgia.
The comparative condition iu thus repre
sented in figures: Iu North Georgia, 97
against 93; Middle Georgia, 94 against
87; Southwest Georgia, 100 against 92;
Ea9t Georgia, 87 against 90; Southeast
Georgia, 96 against 95; in the state at
large, 95 against 91. This shows a gene
ral imp rovement of 4 points since July Ist.
The question -was asked of correspond
ents, “What have been the profits of the
melon crop as compared to last year?”
The same question w r as asked in the ques
tions for the August crop report of 1887.
Melon growers are discouraged by the
unexpected meagerness of returns. This
result is due to three causes, each of which
may be removed or modified. First:
the want of information by the grower
and shipper of the state of the markets
at different points a 3 to supply, aud the
consequent glutting of some markets and
insufficient supply of others. This may
be remedied by concert of action and the
establishment of a “melon exchange” at
convenient points for distribution. Sec
ond : Want of care in rejecting over-ripe
and undersized melons. A very few
melons, of small size, or uninviting ap
pearance, or over-ripe condition, wrill
frequently reduce the salable price of a
carload to less than cost of freight and
commissions. The orange and lemon
growcis of Florida have learned this les
son, and never ship culls with good
fruit. Third: Probably too high rates
of freight. It -would certainly be to the
future interest of the railroads to aid iu
developing and perpetuating this source
of freight income by as low a tariff as
possible. Carrying at aAoss now, may
aid iu the establishmenJwf melon grow
ing as one of the permanent industries
of the South, and a reliable and remun
erative source of income to the railroads.
While it is tine that instances have
occurred in which the sales of shipments
did not cover freights and commissions,
yet, on the whole, there is reason to be
lieve that the business of growing melons
has been fairly profitable to the most
skillful growers and shippers, and that
it will become more reliable in the fu
ture. It is comparatively a new business,
and there is much to learn by the far
mer who has never before planted more i
than a mere “patch” for family use.
During the season of 1887-8 there
were inspected, analyzed and admitted
to sale in Georgia 208,007.39 tons of
commercial fertilizers and chemicals. In
1875-6 the amount was 55,316 tons.

A dysentery epidemic in lowa and La-
Fayette counties, Wis., is spreading, the

Married While Dying.
Miss Mary Staflffer, an attractive
young woman, 18 years of age, was mar
ried, at Schuykill Haven, to Luke
Fisher. In less than five minutes after
the ceremony had been performed the
bride died, surrounded by her weeping
husband and family. An hour or two
previous she hud been walking in a field
near the house, and her dress caught
fire from a heap of burning brush. She
ran screaming, and her cries brought to
her aid a party of farm laborers, among
them Luke Fisher, to whom she was to
have been married the next week. There
was nothing at hand with which to put
out the fire, and Fisher picked her up
and carried her to a hogshead of water
and plunged li<-r into it. He was him
self scorch.ed, aud the young woman
sustained frightful injuries.
Miss Stauffer was carried into the
house, and though suffering tho most
excruciating pain, she expressed a wish
to be married before she died. The
Rev. Mr. Feger was called in, and had
hardly pronounced the words that made
her Mr. Fisher’s wife when she became

ter General, in an oi d¥r, <li reefed that all
. newspaper mail originating atjllackson
ville, Fla., should be that
j point instead of being sent to lUfcross,
thus avoiding annoying delays. Sur
| gtun-Genei il Hamilton, at Washington,
i D. C., received a telegram from As-ist
| ant Surgeon Clarkson, of Fort Monroe,
Ya., saying he has quarantined the Brit
ish steamship Athens, seven days from
Pensacola to Newport News. He says a
cise of hematemesis with collapse was
found on board, and too ill for transpor
tation. The vessel is being fumigated
without removing the cargo of timber.
Dr. Hamilton'then telegraphed Dr. Clark
son to anchor the vessel in the North
Channel, near Cape Charles, and hold her
in quarantine for further observation.
Two new cases of yellow fever were re
ported on Monday to the directors of
health ,at Jacksonville, Fla., and one
death only, that of J. M. Minton at Sand
Hills. There are several suspicious cases
which are expected to be better defined.
More vigorous measures will be taken for
the segregation of patients and suspects.
Reports sent out of financial stringency
in local banks are erroneous. All the
leading banks are well supplied. Gree-
ly’s hank, which posted sixty days’ notice
on account of run of savings by refugees,
has resumed. The business of the city
is light, owing to the stringency of quar
antine, but is going on as usual. A thou
sand pounds of bi-chloride of mercury is
to he used by the city for disinfecting.
Col. Lester, mayor of Savannah, Ga.,
is endeavoring to get Surgeon-General
Hamilton put in charge of the quarantine
of the whole state until frost comes.
This can be done by the Secretary of the
Trt usury, on the request of the governor.
If it is done, the expense will be shoul
dered by the government, and will save
the Georgia towns a considerable outlay.
Dr. L. S. Posey, of the Louisiana board
of health, lias been instructed by Sur
geon-General Hamilton to visit Orlando,
Sanford, and other towns in Florida, aud
ascertain their condition. Surgeon Put
ton lias arrived at Waycross, Ga., and
assumed charge of the fumigation sfatirr
tjiere. Dr Wall, of Tampa, telegraphs
to the Marine hospital bureau as fol
lows: Having houses and efftets fumi
gated as sick get well. The authorities
are having premises cleaned and disin
fected. An infant was lost in a family

Tenderness of Mr. Corliss.
Mr. Corliss, the famous engine builder
of Prudence, not very long before his
death, nad occasion to build au addition
to his manufactory—a big “L,” for addi
tional machinery. To prepare the found
ation for this L it was necessary to re
move a ledge of rock by blasting. The
men to do the work on the addition had
been employed and put on the payroll;
the materials had been purchased and
brought to the building, and the work
of blasting had begun. The next morn
ing Mr. Corliss passed by the place
where work was proceeding, when the
foreman in charge, knowing his interest
in pretty things, called him.
“See here, Mr. Corliss,” said he,
“here's a bird’s nest that we’ve found,
and that’s got to go.”
He showed the manufacturer a robin
sitting upon a nest that had been built,
fast aud snug, in a crevice of the rock,
among some bushes that grew there.
The bird flew off her nest as the men
came near, and showed five blue eggs
that looked as if they had just been laid.
“Can we move that nest somewhere
else ?” asked Mr. Corliss.
“I’m afraid not, sir. We’d tear it to
pieces getting it out, and it isn’t at all
likely that you could get the bird to go
to sitting again anywhere else. We’ve
got to go on, so we may as well rip it out
and throw the eggs away. ”
“No,” said Corliss, “we won’t disturb
Her. Let her bring out her brood right
there.”
“But we’ll have to ctop the work on
the building.”
“Let it stop, then.”
And so orders were given that opera
tions on the addition should he sus
pended. They were suspended; and
the hands stood still, drawing their pay
for doing nothing, or next to nothing,
while the robin sat on her nest with her
air of great consequence and zealous at
tention to business, and had her food
brought by her mate, and at last hatched
her brood. And then there were three
weeks more to go by, at the least, before
the young ones could fly. Corliss vis
ited the nest frequently, not with any
uneasiness or impatience to have the
robin ami tbe young ones out of the way,
but with a genuine interest in their
growth. The old birds had all the time
they wanted; and when at last they had
sternly helped the clumsy, reluctant
youngsters over the edge of the nest,
and they showed themselves able to get
about on their own hook, orders were
given to resume the building operations;
and the dull boom of the gunpowder
tearing the rocks apart was heard where
tbe birds had peeped.— Boston Tran

Before beginning his sermon on a
recent Sunday evening, the Rev. Dr.
Hureourt, of San Francisco, carefully
placed on his pulpit desk seven bottles
containing fluids. Then he preached a
temperance sermon, during which he
gave his hearers the results of a chemical
analysis of the fluids, which he said were
samples of liquor that he had procured
from seven different saloons. He made
out a pretty strong case against San
Francisco whisky.
