Commissioner Nesbitt urges Georgia farmers to boost breadstaffs and reduce cotton in response to looming war with Spain. He warns that war or peace will raise demand for provisions while cotton prices fall, and advocates a strong food crop to gain independence from merchants. He also critiques overcropping for cotton and explains futures influence on prices, urging practical farming for national needs.

Farmers inquire about Colorado potato beetle remedies
The Colorado potato beetle damages Irish potatoes in Georgia. Hand-picking to destroy eggs is effective on first appearance, followed by dusting with Paris green or London purple or spraying with the same poisons. Use 6 to 7 ounces per 50 gallons water or a flour-lime dust mix, repeat 2–3 times, and handle poisons carefully.

Plans for Profit from Wet Rich Land and Nitrogen Use
The State Agricultural Department advises two main methods after drying: sow peas for hay then Bermuda grass for permanent pasture, or after initial tillage sow millet and later timothy with fertilizer for a lasting meadow. Mineral manures help plants access soil nitric acid and do not exhaust nitrogen. they increase uptake but merely hold nutrients for crop use.
