DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER M, 1874. ,»tk. u»pw« b iatt "curriiv,” Umti Bditort: 1 find In tbs WmHy .fTb«EnDOO, of Novsmbw 24th, “Agfioultuio,” “Gsot- *?.¥«rmingi’ ukM * hom th * Atton. ftji lii whioh • npoitor of that (urniKhM anoh Information from C book* «' «*• °* ths lata Fair, which, aa the Herald ssys, U ° omolele and unanawarahla argument ,. ,or of our State o»er Taxaa or an; !Hher ooanlr; on the globe. Now, while ? do not not with to datraet from the LriU of rnj naUre State, I must aa; that "„h report* a* thaae are aalenlatad to ■ jjewl ; beoaaoe of the m*n; statement* msde which are ao far at warianoe with Jocti »«the; UBoall; ooonr in farming, 1 eea bat believe that theae are mistakes ud nut willful misrepresentations. Bat the mjster; to me is now the assembled wisdom (?) of the State Agricultural So- cie tr failed to deteot these mistake*. Hut to the faota. 1 do not den; the troth of the statement that Mr. /. L. Boynton, of Calhoun oonnt;, produced ninet;-seven bushels of oorn on an aore of ground; nor that he got 11 bushels of pass, 2100 pounds of fodder and 1000 lbs. dfpea vine ha; from anid acre. I am onl; amated at the ;ield of fodder. A good ordinsr; single staok of fodder will weigh about 400 pounds, and ;et ha has fire of this size on bis acre. Four to Ore acres of land—producing 12 to 15 bushels of oorn per sots—trill yield, utuaily, one single stack of fodder, or about 400 pounds to 50 to 60 bushels of oorn. Some out says that it may be accounted for by the stalks of oorn being unusually large. This would not do, tot the ears of oorn would be in proportion. Is it not barely possible that there is some mistake ? Five stocks on a single acre of ground is “set ting ’em up’’ pretty thiok. His yield of pea vine buy is small; only one pound of vine to sometbing^over l| pounds of peas —cleaned—and usually on my land 5 or 6 pounds of vine to one of peas. This ar ticle gives Mr. Boynton 1(1183 25 as his net profits on that aore, 1 oan’t see it. Suppose we say: 97 bushels of corn at $700 $97 00 21 “ peas at $1 50 81 50 2,100 lbs fodder at $1 00 21 00 1,000 lbs pea vine at 60c 6 00 persona, although (bay sat twioe as much as ‘city folks.’ If they did, it came from soma other source than that five acres. It would have been as easy for Mr. Parker to have lugged in, with that committee, 10 beeves, 20 sheep, and 40 hogs; ana why he did not do it, ‘gets me.’ It would have been a much bigger thing for those to blow about, who never know how such things ate done—for editors who have never calculated the ooet of a pound of ^>rk, to blazon forth as a ‘great thiug for Mr. Oox claims 8,000 pounds shucks, on 300 bushels oorn—pretty good, that; quarter of a pound of shuck to the ear of corn. Mr. Editor, osn you make the matter elear to me ? I can’t understand how a man can raise and sell 8 beeves, 3 sheep, 10 hogs, and keep besides 2 horses, 27 stook hogs, 14 dry cattle, 3 milch oows, raise and sell $50 worth of chick ens, and support 8 persons on the pro duce of five acres, ana still have the pro duce to sell. This beats me. I osnnot close without saying s word about Mr. Warthen’s great crop of five bales of cotton per acie, made in 1873. This certainly wua the best yield ever made. I thought at the time it was a hoax, but I now believe it, and siuco he made only two bales tbia year from the same ground, with all his experiouce, I am ready to swear to the fact. But that storm got him; he would have got the five bales if it had not come. That storm was very severe, destroying three bales of ootton per aore, either before or after it was made. Don’t you think it was the great blow made abont the crop of 1873 ? If it had damaged the balance of his crop as bad as it did that acre, his loss was heavy. If such a storm should come through here, we would not raise a bale for five years to come. I saw one onoe which hlowed the earth worms away, but it did not destroy three bales per acre. Faiimku. $150 00 Costof manure, cultivation, etc....$25 00 Net profits $130 00 Home one may say, perhaps, tho $50 premium was added. That will not do; Because it was not produced on the acre. I also contend that an acre of thin land will not yield the above results with less than twice $25 worth of manure and work. Mr. John J. Parker, of ThomasviUe, comes next, with his acre of sugar cane. I must say that was a mighty good aore of osno, a very remarkable acre of cane. Not so much as to the yield, ss to the bill of expenses for cultivation, and for manm factoring the syrup. This article re:erred to says that the gross receipts were $480 10, expenses $10 10, leaving a net profit of $420. This is clearly a mistake. I do not understand tbii method of getting out the profits. The cultivation of said aore is certainly rated very low: Five ploughing* at $4 20, two boemgs at 80 cents. Those cotton seed at 10 cents per bushel, and only 50 cents for putting on 60 bushels of seed. It would ooet 50 oents to gear up a team (as four hordes would be required to haul 60 bushels of seed), go to the gin house or seed pen, and unharness the team after returning, without loading and unloading tha wagon, driving to the cane patch, and then scattering the seed in 15,960 yards of furrows, as Mr. Parked did, or says he did. He also manufactures tilit-j gallons of syrup for $86.00—a fraction over five oents per gallon. Suppose we look into this mat'er a little with our ordinary facilities for this work, viz: Two sixty sixty-gallon kettles and one good mill; with olose work about seventy or seventy-five gallons per day would be made, requiring one band at eaoh kettle, one to wood and keep up a fire, one to feed esne mill, one to drive mules, one to besr cane to mill and take off the bagass, two bands stripping cane and outting it, ona wagoner and as sistant to hanl cane and wood for fnrnaoe —ten hands, four mules and one wagon. Can these be fed and paid with lea* than five dollars per day ? Then ten days will be oonsumed In the manufacture of the syrnp. Eighteen barrels will be required to hold it. Interest and wear and tear of mill and kettles and tax on same foots np aa follows; Ten days, hands, mule* and wagon at $5 $50 00 Eighteen whiskey barrels (half prioe) at 50o 9 00 Intarast on $100 at ten per oent.... 10 00 Taxes ' $69 90 This, added to the other expenses, will increase the estimates somewhat, which will then fall far below the real costs, by a considerable sum. There are other expenses not yet estimated, to wit: cut. ting and dropping the 4,000 aeed oane (a considerable job itself), and the hsuling of 4,000 canes to the patch, aa I presume they were not on the ground, It having been in cotton last year. Mr. Cox, of Green connty, tells us how he made $814.50 on five aore* of ground. His expenses, $24.00 per acre, appear to be nearer the mark than any one yet en tered. But there are some things in bis report I do not understand. In the first place, he gives himself credit for all the corn, shucks, peas, hay, potatoes, fodder, etc., whioh were gathered from the ground. He also claims oredit for 3 beeves, 3 sheep, and 10 hogs. He docs not tell us what he fed hi* beeves, sheep and bogs upon while raising and fatten ing them. If they picked up their living on the commons, or prowled it from some other man’s premises, they should not b* set down as tha produoe of those five acres, during the year of 1874. No, sirs! I make it out this way: Ten pounds of grain, the world over, are equivalent to or produce one pound of fiesb. Eaoh one of those 10 bogs, if raised on corn alone, would have oonsumed 25 bushels, total 250 bushels, leaving fifty of the three hundred, whioh would have poorly raised tbs fifty dollars worth of chickens be sold. That disposes of hi* corn. These three beeves (8 years old) would have dis posed of bis sbuoks, fodder and hay, and the sfieep his peas. Thus we make a set off. He oan't claim as the prod nos of those five sores, that beef, mutton and pork. He did not get it there, sad 1 guess Mr. Cox is now sniggling at the gullibility of that oommittee of sevens, which awarded him a premium on his re port. Mr. Cox states that he had three miloh cows, 14 head of dry asttle, two horses, 27 bead of stook hogs, and eight persons in his family, and that the produoe of those five acres fed the whole triok ; and this, too, after claiming the beeves, sheep and hog* allowed in bis report. Two horses will consume [aa can be proven by any farmer who takes any care of his stook] 60 bushels each, 120 bushels; those 27 stock hogs will certainly eat j bushel per day, 1821 bushels ; this disposes of the oorn. Tbs 14 head of dry cattle will require 5 pounds of shucks or fodder each per day far 865 days—25,550 pounds —nearly doable the amount produced on his five acres. This leaves 78 bushels of FOR SALE AND RENT. For Sale. V FOUR-ROOM house and kitchen, - . jl with a K°°d well or water, and a g*«rj . jry oonrenient house for a small family.
