* Atlanta, Sept. 10, 1931.
In view of the crop condition of tin
W3st aud the northwest it behooves tin
farmers of Georgia and the south gen
erally to pliow no waste upon the farm
Many of our people depend in grea
measure upon western hay. But so un
favorable has been. the. condition in tin
west throughout the entire season o;
1901 that their dependence will prove 1
. broken reed. In other seasons hay whiel
cost $5 or $6 dollars a ton in the west
ern market, sold in Georgia, by reasoi
of transportation, at from $13.00 tt
$15.00 a ton. The present season hai
been so unfavorable, that western haj
brings on the farm where it is growl
and mowed $16.00 a ton. Now thi
farmer, judging by the past, can maki
his own calculation as to what westeri
hay will gost him by the time i,treachei
the Georgia market, • In view of this hi
must see the necessity of supplying thi
needs of his stock from his own farm
Every mower should be put to work al
once, or, if the farm is not equipp'd'
with such an implement, bring the hanc
scythe into active play. Every avaflabli
blade of grass should be cut. Gathei
in, the crab grass, crow-foot and wir<
grass. Cut all the Bermuda on youl
place, and fail not in utilizing all youl
pea vines. Mow also the swamp grassel
and all the broom sedge, that is not toe
far matured to be used for hay. Though
the two last named do not make the best
hay, they are better than no hay, 01
than paying excessive rates for th<
western article. If a shredder is to b<
had, have your cornstalks shredded and
stored away. Make good use of yout
cane. Let nothing escape your noticl
that can be used for food for your stock.
This is a time which puts to the so
▼erest test a farmer’s scientific kuowl
edge and ability to make his farm u
success.
This is no time for a man because oi
the difficulties that beset him to fold
his bauds and, saying, “all. is lost!* 1
give up the fight. Though iu many
sections cotton has been seriously dam-
aged and the corn orop is below the
average, minor crops, such as peas aud
potatoes, are doing well.
Some report the fields overrun with
grass. Cut all that grass and turn it
into hay. Use all means to avoid th«
loss of any part of ap y p roduct that can

be stored away lor the use of man 01
beast.
The cry of disastrous drouth over a
large section of the Union is, ala-1 toe
true. A short grain and grass crop in
tne west means high grain and meat to
the southern farmer who does not raise
his own supplies. Will Georgia farm¬
ers, under these conditions, allow their
barns co remain empty, while the fields
are covered with valuable native grasses
which can now be saved and housed al
a nominal cost? Or will they wait un-
til next spring and pay twenty to twun-
ty-five dollars per ton for western hay!
GET READY FOR YOUR WINTER CROPS.
As soon as the grasses and peavines
have been cut and stored away for hay
begin to get your fields ready for oats,
barley, rye, wheat, clover aud the pe-
rennial grasses.
In the upper half of the cotton belt
September is the proper mouth for seed¬
ing all these except wheat, the sowing
of which can be deferred until after the
first frost. Early seeding guards against
the greatest dangers to these crops, viz:
winter killing aud spring drouths. The
former of these perils is avoided by sow¬
ing in time for the plants to become
deep-rooted and strong before the win¬
ter freezing. The spring drouths do not
prove disastrous to early-seeded crops,
since they have time to mature and are
ready for the harvest before the drouth
sets in and before the moisture, that
had accumulated during tb« winter, has
been exhausted.
An early oat crop rarely fails except
from winter killing. This crop should
be put upon good land liberally fertil¬
ized. We do not deem it necessary to
plow in oats very deeply, provided they
follow a orop that has been well culti¬
vated during the year. Two inches
would be sufficiently deep, aud they
should be plowed in with a cultivator
or short turning plow It is best to seed
heavily, thus allowing for the loss of
some grain by freezes.
We regard barley a most admirable
crop for early spring grazing, valuable
both in contributing to the health of
stock aud in the saving of corn and
fodder. An acre of barley well fertil¬
ized will feed two mules for five or six
weeks. On. thinner, land you can seed
rye, which will always grow and make
a good-paying green food crop. Wnile
not the best feed, it is reliable, always
Doming in when most needed. Colonel
James M. Smith of Oglethorpe county
said that he would hardly know how to
farm without raising barley aud rye for
spring feeding, The various vetches
aud clover, red, crimson or burr, are
useful and should be seeded down this
month.
We would not advise every farmer to
plant all of these for winter crops. This
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 co the profitable cultiva¬
tion of rice, there has been a great fall¬
ing off in its production in tnis state
during the last few years. And yet
there is no more profitable crop than
rice for. some sections of our state, es¬
pecially along the seaboard. We are
indebted to Oswald Wilson, in the Sep¬
tember number pf the Southern Farm
Magzaino, for some valuable informa¬
tion concerning this important cereal.
The average value per acre of rice
is $30-00, less the cost of irrigation,
which amounts to about $6 00. Accord¬
ing to the reports of the United States
census the average value per acre oi
corn in 1900 was $9.02; of wheat, $7.61;
of oats, $7.63.
The three great staple crops of the
world, corn wheat ana oats, have an ag¬
gregate production of more thau 8,500,-
000,000 bushels and a market value oi
nearly $2,940,670,000. The production
of rice is 74,074,369,193 pounds valued
at $2,962,974,781. It is the principal
diet of 800,000,000 people, or more' thau
64 per cent of the entire population oi
the world.
Although rice has been grown in the
United States from the earliest period
of our history, it is only of late years
that it has reached much development.
In Louisiana and Texas rice culture has
become a great industry with a capital
of $5,000,000 invested in 100 canals,
1,500 miles in extent and capable, undei
present water conditions, of flooding
300,000 acres.
The consumption of rice in the United
States is increasing steadily, and there
is growing demand for it. Hence there
.
is very little danger of over-production.
Wher ever the conditions are favorable
wiTl ic not lie profitable co pay more at'
tentiou to the cultivation of this great
cereal?
Abundance of wholesome food for out
people p should bo one great aim of the
*
agriculturists of e our state, and , rice it
already one of the principal articles oi
diet in almost every Georgia home.
THE MEANS or INDEPENDENCE.
We have at our command the means
of independence in our soil, adapted to
the cultivation of every product of the
temperate zone and to some of those Oi
the tropics. There is no need for us to
8° west tor our corn and wheat, our
ha >’ and njear Wo can produce them
all at home, and with our great money
crop, cotton, as a surplus, be not only
self-sustaining, but, in common with
the farmers of other southern states,
become the wealthiest agriculturists oi
the world, O. B. Stevens, Com’r.

Cotton Has Suffered For Want
of Sunshine.
PICKING GREATLY RETARDED
Complaints Reach the Depariiiurut of
Kust, Rotting and Ravages of
the Roil Worm—P odder
Will lie Scarce.
Agricultural Department,
Atlanta, Sept. 1, 1901.
The characteristic features of August
weather were very heavy rains in most
of the counties of the state, while the
temperature ranged slightly below tne
normal, as a result of which the cotton
crop suffered materially for the want of
sunshine aud warmer weather. Hence
many complaints have reached the do-
partmeiit concerning injury from rust,
rotting of bolls and ravages of to j
boll worm, so rhat the crop condi¬
tions on Sept. 1 are far from sacisfaotd
ry. The average condition 0. the cotior.
crop has fallen from 84 per cent on June
1 to 75 per cent on Sept 1.
In addition to the fact that the cotton
crop is 15 days late, picking has been
very materially retarded, owing to the
August rams.
The condition and prospec s of corn,
which on June 1 were 89 per cc-ut, were
on 1 P er ceu t. Inis de-
crease in the prospects of the corn
crop was caused in many - cases
by overflows of the creeks and
rivers, resulting from the
August rains. A large per cent of the
fodder also has been damaged by the
same agency ai this forage will be
unusually scarce the coming year.
, Most of the cane, sweet potatoes, peas,
ground peas, upland rice and the grasses
promise well.
