COMMiSStONER STEVEN’S TALK
Cotton Crop i-s One of the Largest on
Record.
Duria* ih last spring and sununer
ths condition and prospect* of the oot
toa crop were fAr from being encour
but the bright, sunny days of
late fail came to the rescue anti
Georgia in common with the whole
Uoutb. re Joie*a iu one among tho larg
est. cotton crops on rocord.
Many reports of surpriaiu* yields or,
ordinary land have oomne into this of
flee, and there is gratifying evidence
of improved cultivation. More farm
er* than ever before in the history of
our State ara using t-ha best method*
and improved machinery.
Never slave the war ha* the Bn*n
cial condition of oar farmers been in
such good shape. More of them than
at any previous period are in such a
stata of Independence that they can
s*!l or hold their cotton, as their inter
**s naav demand.
In some sections cotton picking was
delayed by the scarcity of ialior. But
anew hope has arisen that at no distant
day this difficulty will be surmounted
The new cotton picker, though fai
from perfect, gives assurance that ere
vary iotig, when it shall have passed
its crude beginning and grown, into a
fint-claes machine, the labor problem
of the cotton planter will be solved.
Of one :hitig the Southern planter
can be sitre. In his cotton, if wisely
managed, he poseses a reliable and
safe money orop. But. as we have
repeatedly urged, let nothing tempt
him. to make it his sole reliance.
Hl# wheat, corn, vegetables and hay
and abundance of every kind of stock
feed should be raised at home, so as
to make him the independent man
ihaf every farmer ought to be. Dei
him, by diversity of crops careful for
tillxation and diligent cultivation o!
the soil seek the ravi r of Nature, whe
wiii not tail to amply reward-his wall
illnvcted effort* We note with jlaaa
ure the lusliuAt.ion of our farmers to
do this very thing, and the faer that
they aro accepting the idea of incrc-n*
Sag their cotton production on th
same ai*a* by rotation, better few tit
UaUou and improvsd cultivation while,
at tho sattle time, raising sufficient
home supplies for man and beast.
On account etkjoflg continued dry
weather, cow peas will be scarce and
high next season Be sure, therefore,
to save enough to put upon your land
at the proper time. No up-to-date
farmer will ion* run a field in cotton
without applying to it this great ran
ovator and panacea for the iils that af
flict the anil,
Wi fear that ojv account of the dry
f*ii ■“yhv Tarfiter* have faded u. -cw
whe*!. ■ if so. ihose woh can pffkstb-v
do it, should sow it now so as to get it
up by Christmas Those living in s-ec
tiona where it is too late to do this
and even those who cu sow tho wheat
aud vet have land enough would dc
well at the first good season in Feb
rtiarv to put. in oats on good ground
well manured and prepared. They will
theu have a good prospect of a fins
supply of a .spring oat. crop.
To those who have not yet turned
their fields we would sy i do so this
month. lost tills be done thoroughly
and well, and as deep as possible, so
that, freezes anil winter rain* may add
fertility to out; fields.
Again we are gratified at the fact
that, the sugar-cane growers and sirup
manufacturers of Georgia are making
progress toward increasing thetr indi
vidua! wealth as well as that of the
State by improved cultivation, the in
troduction of new and better machin
ery lor sugar and sirup-making and
the wise use of remedies both new ami
old for the prevention of fermentation
of cane sirups.
Once more we desire to congratulate
the farmers of our great, and growing
Htato on the fact, that they are keep
ing pace iu flic march of progress with
all the other great industries (hat arc
adding to the wealth and influence ot
Georgia
