The Live Stock Journal very truly re
marks: “There is a good demand for
all kinds of improved Btock, but the de
mand for improved farmer’s wives is
greatest of all. The country needs
young ladies with courage enough to go
out on the farm and do their share in
developing the waste lands. The world
needs more plain, honest girls who are
not afraid of work and who desire to be
a help not a hindrance to their husbands.
There is none that men, in every condi
tion of life, more highly honor than the
ideal fanner’s wife.”
I11 Alabama.
When but a boy the proprietor of the
Southern World often listened to one
of the most eloquent divines of the age.
He was frequently criticised for his at
tractive style of preaching, and a char
acteristic reply of his to such criticisms
was that to preach efficiently you must
have hearers, and all legitimate means
to get hearers waB wise and justifiable.
His remark was so just and true that
we recall the recollection of it to remark
that we want hearers in Alabama and
the other States and we are determined
to use all legitimate means to obtain
them.
We desire and fully expect to add at
least 5,000 new subscribers to our list in
Alabama during this year. More than
this, we intend to deserve and keep
them by special efforts to promote the
varied interests of the great State of
Alabama—an Empire within itself in
natural resources. Our Mr. R. W. Beck,
of Birmingham, will let the good people
hear from us, and in person put before
them some of the merits of the South
ern World.
It will be our purpose to promote the
interests of agriculture, manufactures,
mining, education, industrial progress
and immigration. Mr. Beck will visit
the various sections of the State, attend
meetings of agricultural clubs, visit
educational institutions, manufactories,
mines, and all places, public or private,
where he may be able to obtain informa
tion and co-operation from those in
charge, and from time to time make
known the results to our thousands of
readers in every section of this broad
land.
Give us an audience. Give us a few
thousand new subscribers, and we will
introduce to you thousands from the
North, South, East and WeBt, whose
acquaintance it is well to cnltivate, and
you to them. It will materially aid the
progress of our great Southern world,
and of the grandest but yet too little
known part of civilization.
Give us from 5,000 to 50,000 subscrib
ers and we will add millions of wealth
by immigration and capital directed to
you.
There is a general cry of over-produc
tion in almost everything. When re
cently some sage remarked that “all
great men were cranks,” the incorrigi
ble and irrepressible Joel Chandler
Harris replied: “Yes, bnt the great
trouble with the country is an over-pro
duction of great men.” But amid all
this there is one industry of which it
cannot be said there is an over-produc
tion—poultry and eggs. Observe the
prices obtained for them for the past few
years. Why not devote more attention
to the poultry yard? Among all the
small industries where is there a greater
opening than poultry ?
Mittie Montgomery, of Howard, Ga.,
contributes to the Letter Box of the
Youth’s Department an extremely in
teresting letter. She states that her
father made 1,115 pounds of lint cotton
on one acre of ground, and killed two
hogs that netted 750 pounds of meat.
She points the moral of this by asking,
“Why go West?” Let all our yonng
readers note the products of their own
farm and give us the result.
The Alabama State Agricultural So
ciety meets in Montgomery on the 3d of
February next.
Why do not our seedsmen ofier pre
miums for the best garden?
The report of Hon. J. T. Henderson,
Commissioner of Agriculture of Geor
gia, of crops in Georgia, is a comprehen
sive document and full of interest. The
average yield of cotton in the State is
given at 158 pounds of lint cotton, classi
fied as follows: North Georgia, 150
pounds; Middle, 168 pounds; South
west, 129 pounds; East, 170 pounds;
Southeast, 175 pounds. The yield in
bales is estimated at 752 000 bales, and
the average price per pound 0)4 cents.
The average yield of corn for the State
is given at 10.6 bushels per acre, and
the total yield at 28,765,700 bushels.
The average price per bushel, December
let, 1884, for the State, 71 cents. The
total yield of oats for 1884 is estimated
at 6,385,000 bushels; the average price,
December 1st, 71 cents. The average
yield was 12 02 bushels per acre; 56 per
cent, of the crop was sown in the fall
and 28 per cent of that winter killed.
The average yield of wheat in the State
was 7 bushels per acre, and the average
price 71 cents. The yield of sugar cane
was 147 gallons per acre and of sorghum
41 gallons per acre. Rough rice gave
an average yield of 29 bushels, and
sweet potatoes an average of 88 bushels
per acre. The average of clover is 2
tons and of other grasses 2)4 tons of
cured hay per acre. The average acre
age of the present crop of wheat is 60,
and of fall oats 80.
Last year the farmers were beset with
excessive rains and long droughts, which
necessarily accounts for much of the
low yields. Yet a careful study of the
facts in the report cannot but convince
the intelligent farmer that his best poli
cy is in intensive culture and diversified
farming.
We desire to impress upon all the
readers of the Southern World the
fact that our aim in devoting so much
space to the letters of children is by
this means to teach them to be close ob
servers and to express themselves clear
ly and succinctly. In addition to this
we hope to make it the means of creat
ing a better feeling among the residents
of the different sections of a common
country, and thereby of mutual improve
ment and advancement. We trust the
“ grown up children” will not forget to
encourage the juveniles in letter writing
by promoting the circulation of the
Southern World. What is the value
of $1 compared with the influence in
the family circle of twelve month’s read
ing of the Southern World?
•‘Can't Do without It."
A subscriber at Columbia, La., in re
newing his subscription to the South
ern World, writes: “ I can’t do with
out the Southern World, bo I enclose
$1 for another year. I don’t want to
miss a single number. I have kept all
of last year’s issues. My wife thinks
“ The DeSausnures ” is the best romance
she ever read, and I like it myself.
Long may the Southern World flour
ish.”
Our readers will surely appreciate the
poem in our Home Circle entitled “ The
Fever Fiend.” The gifted author is a
born poet. Her description of fever is
realistic and brings before the minds of
all who have grappled with the " tor
turous fever fiend ” the counterpart of
their own experience.
The increase within the past month
of over 1,000 names to our liet from the
State of Louisiana is a gratifying evi
dence of the prosperity and popularity
of the Southern World.
The lady readers of the Southern
World are invited to read the double
column uotice on the ninety-first page
of “Flower Seeds Free.” Secure your
flower seeds while the opportunity is pre
sented.
Uncle Remns favors the ova-produc-
tion of hen fruit, if it is possible.
Southern I.tviiiK writers.
We begin in this issue the first of a
series of papers, under the caption of
this article, from the pen of a distin
guished scholar. Our first paper is
properly devoted to the genial poet and
popular author, Paul H, Hayne. In our
next we will give a fine poem from the
pen of Hayne, written especially for our
columns. The papers are prepared with
care and will be highly interesting. It
will be a capital time to subscribe for the
Southern World in order to get the
whole series.
The Rural New Yorker.
The Rural New Yorker, of New York,
is a standard publication of re
cognized worth. It is a favoiite
everywhere because of its genuine mer
it. The Southern World and the Rural

vegetable seeds sent out as a premuium
with the Southern Wobld and Rural
New Yorker. We will send the South
ern World and the Rural New Yorker

The Eclectic Magazine is one of our
most valued exchanges. It is a long
established and excellent periodical
which gets better as it increases in

ginning of a new volume, and we com
mend our readers who desire a magazine

It will interest all fruit, flower and
vegetable growers to learn that thj£
American Garden, of New York, has
been sold to E. H. Libby, the well
known agricultural journalist. Estab
lished in 1872 as a quarterly, the Ameri
can Garden has become a handsome
monthly magazine, and a leader among
horticultural publications. Under its
new management it is an independent,
illustrated, beautifully printed magazine,
still ably edited by Dr. F. M. Hexamer
and numbering as contributors many of
the most successful fruit growers and
gardeners in this and other countries.
The coming volume will be greatly im
proved in many ways, and worthy of
the earnest and hearty support of all
who love fruits, flowers and nice gar
dens, and all who make a business of
their culture. The price is only $1 a
year, including some choice seed and
plant premiums. Published in New
York, and Greenfield, Mass.
The Baltimore Manufacturer's Record
sums up the industrial development of
the South during 1884 as 1,865 new en
terprises with over $105,000,000 capital
stock. Tennessee shows the largest
number of enterprises, 250; Kentucky
the largest amount of capital, $21,760,-
000.
The Chronicle, of Augusta, celebrates
its centennial this year on a grand scale.
Sixty thousand copies of the centennial
edition will be published. We wish it

tennial edition of that sterling sheet.

the seed distribution of the Rural New
Yorker of corn, Johnson grass, Rural
