GEORGIA CROP REPORTCommissioner Stevens Inter-

esting Talk Resumed.

DEPARTMENT HAS BUSY TIME

Thousands of Copies of the New Book,“Georgia: Industrial and Historical,”

Have Been Distributed—Some Perti-

nent Questions Answered.Department of Agriculture, Atlanta,

April 1, 1902.Several months have passed since a

monthly talk lias gone out from thisdepartment, but so heavy has been thecorrespondence, not. only from our ownstate, but also from every section ofthe Union, that the commissioner has

been compelled to assist the clericalforce of the department in answering

he floods of letters that have poured

lit. TJle ordinary business of the officehad also to be attended to. Thousandsof copies of the usual annual bulletinhave been and are still being distrib-uted. Besides these, more than 15,000district maps of Georgia have been

scattered throughout our own andother states, and many thousands ofthe new book, "Georgia: Historical andIndustrial, have been sent into every

county of our state, as well as to pub-

lic libraries and individuals who havewritten for it from every state in theUnion and from foreign countries, onecapy having been sent to a gentleman

who wrote for it from Natal, SouthAfrica.

nThe following letter, received a day

or two ago, is very similar to manyothers that the daily mail brings tothis office:

"My Dear Sir: I beg to acknowl-edge tlie receipt of your valuable book,‘Georgia: Historical and Industrial.’Wiille I have not read it near as care-

fully as 1 will, I have read it suffi-ciently to pronounce it a gem, andmust say it will surely draw a crowd,if it is circulated enough. I wishthere were 10,000 copies distributedin the Northwest, so that homeseek-ers and investors could see what wehave to offer. I have lived in Georgiaonly five years, having come fromwestern Indiana, but I must say thereare more opportunities here than any-where else 1 know of for men of smallmeans. Land is cheap and is easilycleared: timber is plentiful to buildand fence with, and the soil is ns pro-ductive ns that of most of the landin the north. (I am speaking of SouthGeorgia, for that is all l am personallyacquainted with.) What is neededmost here Is to rotate crops, as theyhave to do in "the Middle States, exceptthat here we will use peas and velvetbeans in place of clover, and the peasare just as good as clover and thebeans superior to it. Follow beanswith corn; follow corn with oats; fol-low with peas tin1 same season; followpeas with cotton; then beans again,and if that doesn’t break the guanobusiness it will make it look mightypale. Then intensify, diversify and in-tensify. and your bank account, willmultiply. You will see, 1 have wan-dered from the subject. But I lovefarming so well and nm in such agood place and have such a nice farmthat I can't refrain from giving it aword.

"Thanking you for the book andwishing you success, I remain, yourhumble servant,

"A. J. BEVER."Douglas, Coffee Cos., Ga.“P. S.—I know not what will be my

future fate; but I think I’ll live anddie in the Empire State. A. J. B.”

We feel sure that our readers willpardon us for publishing this letter infull, on account of Its many excellenthints to farmers.

A letter from Mr. E. S. Tow e, 81Ashland boulevard. Chicago, 111., re-ceived March 6, says: "I have examin-ed the new book, ‘Georgia: Historicaland Industrial,' which you kindly sentme, and find it a handsome volume offlue paper and print, voluminous, butwithout a dull page, embellished witha profusion of pictures and many finecolored plates.

"I congratulate you on your successand believe it will help much in pro-moting Georgia's welfare. -I am show-ing it with pleasure to my friends.

“After studying all the land and im-migration schemes of the differentstates from California to New Jerseyand British America to the Gulf. I be-lieve Georgia is the best, all thingsconsidered, and my Intel /s not forsale unless at fancy prices,"

Another letter was received a fewdays ago from Louis E. Van Norman,of Springfield. 0., editor of "Homeand Flowers.” an illustrated magazinepublished in the interest of a morebeautiful American home. In this let-ter Mr. Van Norman says: “As onein particularly close touch with thesocial conditions of our rural popula-tion. an expression of an opinion fromyou as to the immediate need of thefarmer and his family in the matter ofmoral, intellectual and social betterment would be highly interesting andvaluable. We are sending you a copyof the February number of ‘Home andFlowers.’ which contains an outline ofthe work proposed by the United

j States secretary of agriculture. Weshould be very glad indeed if you

j would answer the following questions

and return this letter to us:“1. What, in your opinion. Is the im-

mediate need of the farmer and hisfamily in the matter of moral, intel-lectual and social betterment?

“2. Should such a work be begun asthe secretary suggests, by providingpractical training for the future wivesof the farmers in the direction of education as to sanitation, cooking andthe rational practice of the arts olhome?

“May we not hear from you, if onl>in a few words?”

In answer, we would say, not onlyto the writer of this letter, but also toall the farmers of Georgia, the-moral,intellectual and social betterment ofour rural population will be insurednot only by attendance at the statedtimes upon the house of God and send-ing the children to the daily schools,but also by having in every home alibrary of choice, attractive books bythe best authors, written in a style tocatch and hold the attention of theyoung, and by surrounding the homewith everything that helps to make ittri'iv the dearest spot on earth, No*r r** w- - ;

matter nbw limited one’s means maythe hublest home may be made

pleasant by the practice of neatness,and nature herself supplies With beau-tiful flowers and shrubs the materialsfor adornment of the house andgrounds, which, with proper care, willlend such charm to the place that allthrough life the children therein rear-ed will find in their own hearts a re-sponse to the words of the poet:

"Be it ever so humble, there is noplace like home.”

Again, not only the future wives ofthe farmers should be carefully train-ed in the art of healthful cooking, butthe boys as well as the girls shouldhe thoroughly educated as to sanita-tion and the practices of all the vir-tues and arts that make a happy home.

Mr. C. H. Beazly, in a recent news-paper article on “The Farm VersusOther Lines of Business,” says thereare fewer failures in farming than inany other known line of business. Hethinks, too, that the growth of trustswill, by throwing many out of employ-ment, cause lands that are now shun-ned by so many to be tilled, and thatin spite of the odiousness of the truststhere is in this fact a gleam of goodto come.

If through the operation of thetrusts many shall be induced to returnto the farms, then will the cause ofagriculture "pluck from the nettle dan-ger the flower safety.”

In concluding this talk, may I bepardoned for alk ling once more toour new book? I say our, for not onlydid I work unremittingly to secure thenecessary information, Hut Mr. It. F.Wright, my indefatigable assistant,and Professor J. T. Derry, the wellknown Georgia writer, worked diligent-ly and carefully upon its preparation.This volume is being distributed wide-ly throughout our state. It lias beenour aim to place it In every collegelibrary and In the libraries of the lead-ing schools of Georgia, in both townand country, so that the great massof our people may have access to thelarge fund of information therein con-tained. Here let me say that on page921 the omission of a figure in thesecond item of the manufactures ofthe state makes the capital invested inthese industries to appear as $8,789,-656. It should be $89,789,656. The er-ror is apparent to one who reads thewhole page. Let every one who has acopy of this work cut this correctionout and paste it on the blank spaceon page 920.

Those who write for our book neednot be discouraged if there occurs qdelay of several days. Their time willcome.

O. B. STEVENS.Commissioner.

Agricultural Progress In the South.Secretary Wilson, of the United

States department of agriculture, ina survey of agricultural progress inthe south in the same publication,urgfes a greater average yield per acrethan a greater acreage of cotton, thereturn, as far as possible, to the soilof the fertilizing Ingredients of cottonseed and greater attention to livestock industries, and he adds: “I be-lieve that the south will not muchlonger be known and thought of pri-marily as the ‘lnnd o’ cotton,' but asa great and prosperous region of varied agricultural industries. With thegreat industrial progress of the south-ern states and the development oitheir wonderful mineral and manufac-turing resources comes the best of allmarkets tor the farmer—the greathome market. More and more I hopeto see the agriculture of the south di-versified as this great home marketexpands. Let the cotton crop continueto increase in total production, butlet its growth be rather by a higheraverage per acre than by a very largeextension of the area under this crop.Let southern farmers keep the plantfood at home and send the productof the farm to market in the form otmanufactured articles (manufacturedon the farm by nature's processes)rather than in the form of raw material. Let them grade up their flocksand herds and keep many more of allkinds of domestic animals. Lot then:renovate the soil by the use of legumesand save all the fertilizing materialthat the farm itself produces. Thenwill the agriculture of the south showin the census to be taken in 1910 ad-vances greater by far than even thegreat progress made in the last twen-ty years of her history.”

The course of the south is onwardand upward. Let it be the ambitionof every farmer to help on the goodcause in Georgia.

Minstrels Coining Under Canvas.

The New Orleans Minstrels gave aperformance ih the canvass theater atthe corner of Fourth and Court streetslast night. The tent was packed andmany were turned away because therewas no more room. The idea of pre-senting a minstrel performance undercanvas is quite original, and judgingfrom the crowd last night we judgethat it is a paying venture. The tentis arranged with stage scenery andcurtains the same as an opera house.

The performance as a whole wasmeritorious. The sayings and gagswere all very good, as well as thechoruses, ballads and other singing.The orchestra was also good. In theolio the male electrical dance, the’Black Eighth Regiment,” the terp-

sichorean artist and “Pastimes of theLevee” were amusing, and the rip-roaring farce presented as a finale wasa highly ludicrous and mirth-provok-ing piece of extravagance. —MemphisCommercial-Appeal, April 10, 1901.
