TusJay August 25. 1890 FORI GOVERNOR : JOHN BRATTON ThE latest estimates place the corn erop of the United States at 1,600,000, 000, while the crop of '89 was 2,000, O 6O0. a diference in favor of '89 of tweaty-ive per cent. This will in orease tiie cost to consumers something like $00,000,000, which represents an increase in profits to the f.ellers of nearly that amount. THE Manuforlurers' Record says "within the last month we have learned of upwarJs of $60,000,000" of English capital that has been offered for invest wenta in a great many Southern enter prises." including town building schemes The -ame paper predicts that the aggregate investments of Eungli-h money in Southern enterprises during the next six months will aston 1a the con,try.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. oy i GEORGE TRUITT. tot Quite up to Mr. Doty on so Acres, But His Farm Shows What 135 Pounds of Energy and Intensive Farming Will Do. He Started Poor and is Now Worth 020.000. [The Atlanta Jourual.1 There is inspiration in a well-worked Georgia farm. Inspiration, infor mation and an important lesson to all who see it. It is an object lesson which beats all the essays that have ever been read and all the boooks that have ever been written on the great que,tion of agriculture. During the recent agricultural convention in La Grange---a little city noted for its many and varied attract ions- more attention was given to the faru of George W. Truitt than to every other interesting feature of that interesting town. When men will go six miles to see a piece of cotton rather than go a few hun-lred yards to see a lovely flower garden or an unique factory, their action is at once a testimonial of their practical ideas and a compliment to the farm which they visit. George Truitt's farm was of more benefit t, the State than that entire con vention-and a better and more har monious convention was never held in this part of the world. My assertion will be substantiated by the hundreds Df delegates who visited this farm and went away determined to duplicate what they had seen. An old gentle man from Texas said he had never seen cotton the like of that; a Louisi ana man said it gave him good news to carry back to his people; an Ala bamian said that the famous black belt Df his State had never equalled it. George W. Truitt, known as the ramous Georg'a cotton grower and propaator ot improved cotton seed, tivea lit Trogp County, six miles from LaGrange. lie is a middle-aged, medium sized man-weighing about 140, pounds, 1i5 being energy. In approacbing his home the first tLing I noticed was that his barn was much larger than his house-a mighty good sign, i can tell you. His dwell ing contains four rooms and wide piazzas front and back. It is a cosey looking, while painted building, with frC8h, pretty vines clambering over the piazza. The walk leading from the gate to the steps is completely covered by an arch of cedars which are so per fectly intertwined that :hey seem to begini growing ini the air and to grow downward into the irround on each side of the walk. B~eautiful circular walks in the yard, flower beds formed in various tigares, with humming birds flittering here aind there--ex hibited a guiding hand fairer than that of any man. Magnificent orchards containing fruits of many choice kinds and all the attendant conveniences of a country home were prominently visible. The barn is two and a half stories high, .55 by 35, with a rock cemented foundation. It contains enough last year's corn to last the plantation till Christmas-and stacks of many kinds of forage. Oats, sorghum, millet andi the like, are cut up by a machiin in the second story anud dropped down into troughs to suit the appetite of the mules or horses. There is a well in the barn and water is pumped directly into troughs which are fied -to serve each animal in the stable. [if Mr. Traitt would train one ot the horses to water the others his arrangements would be perfect.] The horses walk out of the rear stable door into a fresh Bermuda pasture. An excellent steam ginnery, a neat machine shop in which "al'l'the 'plan tation machines are"-kept, a good black smith shop: 'several vwej-bulO tene ment houses- an in a lovel o'ak growe sodded with Beimaa grass-help to: completen-the .picture of,this mo6de).f fartmer's home. . ...- I -t At thelst-Piedmiont ExpositiQrn ".

Fronm t wo.grad ed Jersey cows Mrs. Trinm. has sold this year 200 pounds. of batter. Sbe has sold enough eggs and chickens to run a small farm. But to~ the farmp1roper: Mr. Truitt says lie is going to make 100 bales of cotton ont 80 acres worked be tvo mules. And the-se 80 acres were the principal at jaedion-to the Counventioni delegates, :&nd not oe of them dleniedi the fairness~ of Mr.. Truitt's estinmate. The lanUt s grayr,. 'with clay subsoil. Several yies ago it was painfully poor. It. has been built up by high fertilizatilan and good working. Last y-ear it was planted in oats. It was well broken with a cutaway harrow in December- It was broken twice in January with a harrow, the second plouhin being squarely across the first. Then the rows were laid off, four and a half feet wide, with a scooter, folJowed by a Johnson wing. On isrty acres fifty bushels of cotton seedi were broadcast to the aere, and fie bundred pounds of Scott's best ad put in the dril1. On the other forty acres five hundred pounds of lossipumn tao the acre were puzt in the irill and lis:t furrows. The cotton is thirty inches apart in the drill. Most if it was chopped out by running a thirty-inch scrape directly across the rows. This gives the rows a beauti-. Eul regularity, and enables them to be lou hed in two diametrically oppo tite ~irecins. (Think about this, it's a mighty good scheme.) The cotton iras topped about the 10th of Julv. vt as ploughed live times anid hioid Mr. Truitt uses level culture. iIe areaks the land deep, cultivates flat* md very shallow. ]Iis lands are all veil terraced and a home-made system >f undergrounddrainage-componndedl mut of a ditch, some logs and a plenti ~ul supply of mother earth--is fre nenitly used. By these p)recautionis :otton is now growing as high as your tead where, a few years ago, gulleys ' v-ould hide all the animals in Grant ?ark. Mr. Truitt says this land is 100) per: -U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 1889. Powder EY PURE ['he cotton is called Truitt's premium )rolific. The seed has been selected y seidir' careful hands over the lelds to pie& out the finest bolls. This Aan has been carried out so persis ently that now a small boiled stalk annot be found. Forty average bolls f this cotton will make a pound. More than three hundred bolls were ::ounted on one stalk. We foundbolls which measured seven and a half inches round one way and nine inches )round the other-looking very much like a green turkey egg. There were some .ingle stalks seven feet tall, nine teet in diameter, shading sixty-five square feet of ground. This cotton looked like a swamp, and at a dis tance appeared too thick for entrance. :1 short man would get lost in it; a timid man would not venture in it at ill: an incredulous man would never ielieve it was there unless he saw it; i, wise man (if he were a farmer) vould go to work and see if he couldn't row cotton just like it. We went over the land where, a few rears ago, Mr. Truitt gathered fifteen )ales from five acres, and when we reached the one acre on which he raised l,200 pounds of lint, we decided that he ground was holy, and built thereon L monument of rocks to the best vield )f cotton that the world has seen. 'he cotton on this land the present ;eason had to be planted over in May; :herefore it will hardly makq.oyr two md a half bales to the acrq. The two mules who cuJja$ed1 tl*sse ighty acres are beautilWI d bays; >ne weighing 950 a,. th other eighing 952 poun. Can't George T; M raise anything ,ut cottou, doYon ask? I have already ;aid that he had corn enough to last ill Christmas. Last year with this [,90 pounds of mule flesh he made 65 )ales of cotton, 750 bushels of corn mnd 1,200 bushels of oats, quantities f other produce, the' crop yielding Am $1,250 above all expenses. This year he has ten acres in corn vhich will make 500 bushels. The land was kept in fine condition till iay 15 by a cutaway harrow pulled )y oxen. Then the corn was planted. [t was strong bottom land. It has taken these two mules less than four lays to give it all the plou'thing neces ;ary. The corn i, of t'Hs red cob rariety. Mr. Truitt has twelve big Guinea liogs, which have,19.i raised don butter nilk-, and will net him above 2,000 pounds of n;1eat. On his two-inule farm he employs are hands and pays them $10 a month agli As good a farmer as lhe is can not put up with a sorry hand. He has three tenants who will make, iltogether, fifty bales of cotton and plenty of corn. They used ten tons of~ ruano. George W. Truitt started to farming even with the world. He has dug about $20,000 above the necessities of t living out of the ground and he stands to-day as an example to his country andi State worthy of the elosest imitation. CENSUS REPORT.
