Products of Georgia Soil,

It may come rs a surprise to people
who have looked upon Georgia as an
oil cotton state TO learn OF the pOssibjli-
ties which have already been achieved III
other lines Of agriculture
FxDeriments which have been made
public through the state agricultural de
partment, show that in corn, 1877 BUSH
els per acre may be raised in Spalding
county. 125 bushels in Cobb county, 1913
in Wilkes. 40 in Thomas, 1l5 in CraW-
ford and 104 in Cherokee county. This
record shows The fertility of sections
from the Florida line clear up into the
mountain region. Taking again another
product, that of oats, Wilkes county
gives 1877 bushels per acre, DeKaIb 1871,
Floyd 12t, Coweta 115. Schlcy 100 and

ing in the list will be that OF wheat,
sXty-fyc bushels Of which per acre has
been raised in DeKalb. 40 in Carroll, %
in Cherokee. Milton and Walton c0un-
ties. Bcrricn Crawford and Richmond
counties have yielded 500 bushels per
acre in sweet potatoes, while 500 bushels
have been reported from Brooks and

The Result in New York.

Theodore Roosevelt, the republican
nominee for governor Of New York, has
carried that state by a small majority.
The democratic majority in Greater
New York is more than offset by the re-
publican majority from up the state,
and Roosevelt's majority will approx
mate COCOA narrow margin, consider
ing the large vote polIed, and the Wig
or with which both sides contended for
supremacy
After all, the democrats OF New York
have much on which to congratulate
themselves The party IS Well organ
ized; its conflicting elements have been
united, and the organization presents
solid front for the great national con-
test OF two years hence The party finds
itself in good condition Notwithstanding
its defeat The most conspicuous and
gratifying feature OF the contest has
been the elimination of factiOnal lines
The boiling element which threatened
disturbance two years ago, and which
took open issue with the national or
ganization, has drifted back to its prop
ar place, and there is now practically no
division in the recognition of the re&u-
tar party organization. Democratic sue
cess at the sacrifice Of the regular or
ganzation of the party would have
done more harm than good. and the
democrats Of New York are to he con-

agricultural prducts point to a degrade
ton as calling as that of actual serf-
dom? Is there any producer In the
country but realizes that the operations
OF the gold standard and the contrac-
ton Of money and business present an
emergency which demands the most
perfect unity among those who believe
in democratic principles.
One of the most significant notes Of
the recent elections WAS the fact that
tbo democrats made the largest gain in
those states and communities Where
they planted themselves squarely on the
national platform and emphasized Ihe
currency question. In the manufacture
ing districts of Massachusetts, the I'M
terminates who are now receiving lower
wages than the pauper labor OF Europe

in the most solemn manner the invita-
Yion which it has from time TO time eX-
tended to populists who, in the hrSI
instance left the party because they
felt or suspected that the national Or
eanization had fallen into the hands or
a dangerous clique, and who, in the
controversies that have ensued, have
had their pride wounded by the criticism
of thoughtless democrats. We say 10
those populsts again, MS we nave sad
before, that there is but one remedy Tor
the evils that aflict the country and
that is for the opponents of the single
gold standard to get together IN the
democratic organization. Enthusiasm
always springs from harmony, and if
the populist voters will throw aside all
Dreiudices and join with the democrats
in rescuing the country, the year 1900
will witness a glorious victory for the
people.

nine banks in 1890 was 118. The av-
erage price in 1898 was "a, which rep
resents slump Of "a points. The Jour-
nal of Commerce cannot understand,
and Is inclined to believe that it IS
conspiracy on the part Of the savings
banks to drive number Of the national
banks out OF business; but the truth
seems to be that the savings banks took
no action until the stocks began to
decline in their hands. This de-
cline began two years ago, very sig
nificant date, being the date on which
Mr.. Mckinley and the republican party
are presumed to have restored prosper
fly, and since that time the savings
banks have been planning to get rid OF
the stocks so as to save as large a paftol
their investment as possible.
The Journal of Commerce is inclined
to criticize the action of the savings
banks. but, to an outsider. they seem
to have been governed by ordinary pru-
dence. The secret Of the whole matter
is that the nine banks whose stocks
have declined are the weakest OF the
Boston banks, and their stocks have re-
SpOnded to the movement OF contraction
which has taken place in all directions
under the gold standard. Where there
is a contraction of money there must
be a contraction of business, and where
there is a contraction In trade and bus
mess, some of the weaker banks must
suffer in consequence.
The result has been felt in banking
circles in the west as well as in the
east, and even in New York two or three
of the weaker institutions have turned
over their business to stronger COM
petitOrs. Under the present financial
system there must be sweeping changes
in every business. This has already
made itself apparent in commerce and
in productive industry, and it must iney-
itably make itself felt in The banking
business. Consolidation is the word
in productive industry and it must be
the word in banking. This doesn't
mean a loss TO the public; it is simply
the survival Of the strongest.
The journal of Commerce says ii is
due to Boston's high financial reputa-
ton that this matter should be eX-
planned. What is most peculiar is that
our contemporary fails to see the ex-
PLANTATION in the general trend of BUS
mess to conform itself to the narrow
margin imposed by the gold standard
The cutting down of prices means the
cutting down Of the money supply in
banking as well as in other business,
for bank of deposit depends on the
money of its customers, and not on its
own.
We have heard a great deal about
the new supplies OF gold that have come
into the country We'll, into the cOun-
try. perhaps, but not into business These
new supplies lie in the treasury or in
the vaults Of the banks. and they might
as well be in the bowels Of the noun
tans OF the moon for all the effect they
are having on trade. 1t is curious
though, that those who have urged the
adoption of the gold standard should
fail to recognize its most obvious results.

Boston'S Banks.

The condition of Boston's banks is
creating as much interest as the recent
reduction of wages in New England be-
low the European pauper level 1t
appears that number OF savings banks,
which had invested i'll the stocks of
Boston's national banks, have recently,
in view of the decline in these stocks,
proceeded to unload the Investment. The
result has been such that The New York
Journal of Commerce refers to the cpl
sode as "Bostons Bank Massacres."

Fertilizers and 5-Cent Cotton.

AS the question of fertilizers is
one of unusual interest to our far
mer readers in view of the low
price Of cotton, and as ii is un-
profitable to attempt TO grow cot
ton upon the average lands of this
and the surrounding counties
without fertilizers, the question of
HOME MADE FERTILIZERS
assumes unusual Importance, and
we copy from Southern Farmer
and Horticulturist the following
timely article and formula for
preparing home made manure.
This article is written by Editor J.
S. Newman, Professor of Agricul-
ture in Clemson College, man
who not only has a theoretical
knowledge Of agriculture, but a
practical knowledge as we'll:
Not only should every source of
home supply be saved, but this
should be prepared In way to
reduce to minimum the purchase
Of commercial compounds.
The rule on every well CON
Quoted farm should be to pur-
chase only enough commercial
fertilizers to supplement the
home manures.
The most economical and sue
cessful way of using the home
manures ia to compost them. using
such commercial material as will
at once supply the elements
which are deficient i'm the home
manures and facilitate complete
fermentation without loss of val
liable ingredients.
Stable manure is a complcte
fertilizer in the sense that i, con
tuins every element necessary as
plant food. 1t is defective, how
ever, in that it does not contain
these in the proner proportions.
We therefore add 20 it CONNER
cial material to make the com
post a balanced ration for plants.
Stable manure should remain
in the stall from January to Jan
uarv. Make a good bed of leaves
or cut straw to begin with and af-
terwards add only enough litter
to keep the stall dry and the
horse has an elastic, comfortable
bed throughout the year. The

Asked TO Take Action.

Cleveland, O., Feb. IA
special from Columbus says: The
senate bribery investigation COM
mittee will make a report finding
Senator Marcus A. Hanna guilty
of attempting to bribe Representa-
tive John G. Otis of Cincinnati
through his (Hanna's) duly au-
thOrized agents" I"
Such a report is now being pre-
pared and will be signed by a ma
jority of the committee.
Senator Garfield is expected to
submit minority report, in which
he will claim that the story of the
alleged attempt to bribe Otis was
a conspiracy, planned and execut-
ed Oy the anti Hanna men, and
that all the circumstances testified
to and tending TO show that an eff
fort was made to bribe Otis were
simply carrying out the conspira-
cy.
The committee will report next
Tuesday, and the United States
senate will be memoralized to take
such action as is prescribed by law
in such cases.

STRANGE RELATIONS
WIN Exist with Spain Until that Nation
Acts. The Dc LONE Incident
Is Not Closed.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Surprise
and disappointment is felt by the
ADMINISTRATION over the failure of
the Spanish ministry to make
amends for the reprehensible con-
duct of DE LONE. Not only has
the ministry neglected to disavow
responsibility for the sentiments
expressed in the Canalejas letter,
but it has made no attempt. so far
as this government is aware, to
show any regret that the embar-
rassing incident occurred.
Despite all statements to the
contrary the incident has not been
closed.
Unless some other action than
the acceptance of De Lome's resig-
nation is taken at Madrid. this
government will undoubtedly make
known it displeasure in an en-
phatic way, perhaps by recalling
Woodford.
