C(\i>irni> ' UKJBVU PiRMKKS, On Oftolitr 13, 1873. bv i hi: commissioners of agricult the. Eighty per cent, of the correspond ents report cotton picking as well advanced as at, the same time last your. Many report it from 25 to 5U per cent, more advanced. Many in South Georgia report the crop nearly all picked, and some say all. This is in consequence of the severe drouth in September, Which cut off the top crop. , These facts combined with the great scarcity of money, have forced cotton forward upon the market more rapidly than usual. The large receipts are, therefore, not a correct indica tion of the crop made. Sixty-three per cent, of lhi 1 cor respondents report the cotton saved in as good condition as last year. The average cost of producing a bushel of corn in Georgia, under the present adverse circumstance*, is re ported at fiyty-eight cents, or a little more than one rent per pound while the average cash price, at which it lias sold in Georgia for several years, has been about two cents per pound and the credit price from two awl a half to three cent* per pound. Is it not remarkable that farmers prefer paying twice or three timfs as much for Western corn as that raised on their own farms eosis them, in order that they may enjoy the pleas ure of raising cotton to sell at less than cost of production. The above facts are a severe commentary on the financial conduct of corn buyers in Georgia. Again, oats are produced in Geor gia at an average cost of twenty-nine cents per bushel, or less than one cent per pound, which is Ices than one-third the average price at which they have 9old in Georgia for some years. Will farmers continue to buy corn and oats at th ree t imes the cost of rais ing them on their own farms? Taking into consideration the cost, of production, the chemical analysis and the comparative freedom steal age, oats are cheaper as stock food than corn. One bushel, or 56 pounds of corn, costs 58 cents, while one bushel, or 32 pounds of oats costs 29 cents, mak ing a difference of 13 cents in the cost of 100 pounds of the two. Chemical analysis shows that oats contain 12 per cent, of albuminoids, or flesh and muscle producing prin ciple, while corn contains 10 per cent.* It will thus be seen that for work animals oats are more valua ble than corn as food when equal weights are used. Consider, now, that 100 pounds of oats costs 13 cents less than 100 pounds of corn, and tlie case stands decidedly in favor of oats for work stock. In fat producing properties corn has 7 per cent,; oats 6 per cent.t It, will bo seen, therefore, that when equal weights only arc com pared, corn has the advantage as a fat producer, out tuking the cost also into consideration, there is no choice in this respect. Another decided advantage of oats for our climate, and especially for summer use, is that, while they suit ply more muscle, they are less heat ing and more invigorating to the work animal consuming them. Still another advantage, is freedom from rotten grain and weavil, which fre quently cause corn to injure stock. Still another item id favor of oats is that freed men do not eat them, nor can they so readily sell them when stolen. The average cost of a pound of cot ton to the producer is reported at eleven cents, which varies very little from the average selling price, on the farm, of the present crop. This corresponds with the fact that ninety-six per cent, of the correspon dents report that cotton cannot lie raised at a profit on bought supplies. For Deputy Marshal.
