Work of Cultivation Fart Work Must Be Rapid
Commissioner of Agriculture O B Stevens offers Georgia farmers guidance for May cultivation. He urges rapid, frequent hoeing and wide-sweep cultivation to destroy May grass, conserve moisture, and push cotton and corn. He notes delays from late spring and advises flat culture, early corn varieties, and forage crops like millets and peas, stressing proper soil preparation and manure.

Sesame culture in the South a promising oil source
An Atlanta observer reviews the sesame or benne plant, noting its leaves and especially its seed oil. Indians grow the crop for oil used in cooking and medicine, with France importing large seed volumes. The seed keeps longer without rancidity, while the leaves yield mucilage used medicinally. The U S Department of Agriculture says easy cultivation in warm regions, with success limited north of Virginia. A local proponent urges farmers to adopt sesame, citing potential wealth and a likely steady oil demand. A correspondence from the USDA discusses seed import from Tashkent and the distribution of seed packets.
