CROP CONDITIONS.

At this time the general condition
of crops is far from encouraging.
The drought which has prevailed up
to the I'd of July, accompanied by higa
temperatures and parching winds, has
caused a material deterioration OF

of rains have fallen in many sections
of the state since the first of the
month, it is still true that a drought
which is becoming very serious, now
prevails over the greater portion OF
Georgia In some sections upland corn
is almost past redemption, while COT
ton in some sections is doing fairly
well, the reverse is true in most of the
counties. The fruit is below normal

The need of persistence in advertis-
ing is obvious. Apart from the fact
that the constant appearance of the
advertising of any establishment i'm
presses even those who do not read
advertisements as rule, there is too
much push in the world today for the
public to retain memory of those
who have ceased to appeal to it. Some
body will win the trade of those deal
ers who 60 not.

The Variety Of Wheat 10 Use.
Soil For Wheat.

A soil, whose predominating charac.
teristics are loan and clay. and that
having also an abundant supply of nj
trogenous matter with sufficient phos.
phoric acid, potash and lime, is best
adapted to the growing of wheat II
these elements are lacking, use plenty
OF barnyard manure, IL available. and
concentrate it. Ten tons to the acre
will not be too much. Also apply
plenty Of wood ashes, for these con.
tain phosphoric acid. potash, lime AMI
soluble SILICA, all essential elements
for the growth of the wheat plant. For
most land some high grade commercial
manure is the best The soil must be
dry under-drained, If necessary, for
wheat cannot be made on land which
has an excess of water. An excellent
soil for wheat is a gray, loamy ton
soil, with an under soil of stiff red
clay.
Proper Depth to Cover Wheat.
We have from time to time given to
the, readers of these talks the results
of experiments made to determine the
proper depth to cover wheat. The re-
suit OF these experiments caused us in
one of our letters to advise that it is bet
ter to- harrow the wheat and fertilizers
in, from one to three inches deep. &C,
cording to the character of the soil,
remembering that a thinner covering
is required in close, heavy land than
in that which is light or sandy. \
better plan, when practicable. is to
use the wheat drill after having first
thoroughly plowed, fortified, har.
rowed, raked, pulverized and rolled
the land. This process leaves the land
In excellent condition for the propa.
cation and growth of the wheat plan,
and gives, moreover, a smooth surface.
so important for the future harvest.
Mr.. w. J. Bridges, one of our most
successful Georgia farmers, in telling
how he raised 65 bushels of wheat 10
the acre. said that he put it in with 3
drill, using about 400 pounds of a
special high grade potash fertilizer al
the same time. In planting the wheat
