through the season. [ want to e
this little orchard planted in good
soil and given good cultivation and
proper fertilizers, and not sown down
to rye, or turned into a calf pasture;
and in a few years your little orchard
will be the. most valuable spot on
your place.
GREAT VALUE OF FRUIT
Fruit is a great luxury that few of
us would care to do without in our
homes. What is it worth to each of
us to have a plentiful supply
throughout the year? Is it worth
$50? or $25? or $40? Most of us as
sembled here to-day will hold to the
first figure, but for the sake of con
servatism we will accept the last
named sum of $40 as the value of the
fruit consumed by each individual
per season, though we know it is too
small. But reckon it on this basis
and the value to Georgia's two and a
quarter million people would be $22,-
500, Now if the fruit was always
plentiful and choice, we would con
sumo five times as much, or over
500, 200, 600 worth for this State
alone. A product that is worth as
much as that should be looked after
more carefully than we have been do
ing. 1t is a subject toward which we
should direct more effort and it is
the purpose of this paper to call at
tention to this state of affairs, as
well is suggest proper remedies.
Taken as a food-product, or as a
luxury, or for its medicinal value, or
for the lanscape effect of the trees
and vines around our homes-and it
is well worth our attention for eth
er of these purposes-but take them
altogether, and the Importance of the
subject impresses us more fully. Our
commercial orchardists receive hun
dreds of thousands of dollars for the
fruit that they ship out Of the State
annually, while thousands of fami-
lies here have an insufficient supply
for home use. I would not lessen the
interest taken in commercial horti-
culture, but / want to see the supply
of fruits for the masses here at home
increased and the quality of it i'm
proved.
A GOOD FAMILY ORCHARD
Now what constitutes a good fam
lily orchard? We want a part of the
garden set off for that earliest, and
to many the most delicious of all
fruit, the strawberry. It m to us
in April and May in all its delightful
beauty and attractiveness after the
long and desolate winter. Quickly
following it we have the different va
~rieties of raspberry, which are even
finer than their predecessors, but
which are very much neglected in

WEEKLY [ o ULLEIIN

Montgomery. September 9.-The follow Ing are the conditions for the week ending Monday, septembe' g. 1902:
 Temperatures averaged about normal with very general and, in some places heavy rains; in fact. the long protracted drought has been generally broken in all portions of the state The rains, while favorable for minor crops and some late corn, were too late for cotton and the greater portion of the corn crop. Cotton, as a whole. continues in very poor con dition. the greater portion of it has stopped fruting. with the bulk of the crop open and no prospect for top crop. damage by rust and shedding has dimin- ished considerably; picking. which E being pushed in all sections, was retarded by the rains, which also damaged much open cotton and caused some sproutine in bolls; in a few localities, the bulk oi the crop has been picked, and the present indications are that this will be the earl lest and Ightest cotton crop made in this section in many years. Very late corr has been improved by rainsi in some northern and a few southern counties. but the corn outlook Is also poor, much of the crop has been cut and considerable housed with a generally very light yield Early sweet potatoes are being marketed in fair condition, with light yield; late potatoes peas, peanuts, cane and sor- ghum have improved steadily since the rains set in, though they will all make generally poor to fair yield only, except in few favored localities, where such crops are quite promising; In some To- ealities potatoes are practically fall are; pastures are reviving and there nay yet be some late hay madei fodder pulling Is progressing rapidly, with much of this forage saved in good condition. Turnips are now doing well generally. and more are being sown
