SMALL FARM-IN 7 UK SOUTH.
Gen. Francis A. Walker, the Super
intendent of the Census, has been draw
ing eotne very gratifying conclusions
from the results of his statistical labors.
Among other things he gives tables
showing the average size of farms in
the six States, Alabama, Arkansas,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia and South
Carolina, compared with the average
in 1870. He says:
“The marked feature of these tables
is the immense increase in the number
of small farms in the States treated of,
owing to the subdivision of large plan
tations of twenty and thirty years ago,
except only in the case of Delaware,
where no marked change has occurred
recently. In i bis State the increase in
the number of farms only corresponds
to the increase ot population.”
The conclusion drawn from the sta
tistics presented, that a radical and
permanent change has occurred in the
size of farms in the South, is rather
over drawn and not warranted by the
facte as they actually exist. The een
" -eng enumerators were probably misled,
to some extent, in making up their
returns, and possibly embarrassed by
the want of adaptation of the census
blanks to the circumstances. It would
surprize many a comparatively small
farmer—one of five hundred acres, so ’
instance —to find that the census ie
ports him as having divided his five
hundred acres into four, five, or six
farms, because he happened to have
that number of plow-animals, and
found it convenient to make as many
distinct contracts for labor, in the year
for which the census was taken. Nine
teen-twentieths of such contracts are
made for only one year. A farmer,
one year, may have four farms; the
next year, six ; the next, only one, and
so on, varying each year according to
circumstances, and yet the aggregate
area remain the same, and is known
collectively as his “farm,” whether
comprising one, or several, one or two
horse allotments.
Yet, it is not disputed that there is a
decided movement in the direction of
smaller farms of a more permanent
character than a mere one-year occu
pancy, and a tendency to reduce the
area actually held by individual land
owners. A comparative exhibit of the
average areas of. land in farms— owned
by individuals—would be interesting
and instructive.
SAL 2 AS a MANURE.
After a full consideration of the sub
ject of salt as a manure, the conclusions
arrived at by the Massachusetts Agri
cultural Society were as follows :
That salt has the property of hasten
ing the maturity of all grain crops;
that wheat on salted land will ripen
six to ten days earlier than on unsalted
land, all other conditions being equal.
That in increases the yield 25 to 50
per cent. That it stiffens the straw,
and prevents rust and smut. That it
checks, if it does not entirely prevent,
the ravages of the chinch-bug; and
that there is no danger of a man’s pock
et permitting him to put too much salt
upon his land, as two barrels per acre
<~wi.ll injure no grain-crop.
In answer to questions as to the best
time and manner of sowing salt, as also
the proper quantity to use, the follow
ing replies were given:
The best time to sow salt is in the
spring; and it ought to be the first
thing done on either fall or spring
plowing, as all after stirring of the land
assists in its equal distribution through
the soil. The best and easiest method
of sowing salt, in the absence of a ma
chine for that purpose, is to sow it from
out of the rear end of a wagon—the
sower using both hands and the team
moving at a slow walk. In this way
thirty to forty acres can be sown in a
day.
’ The quantity used may be from 150
to 300 pounds per acre; Lu’ the greater
quantity is the better.
We do not remember ever to have
read so strong a recommendation of
‘■salt as a manure” as the above. It
would seem that little more could be
said in its favor. Yet, the experience
of farmers here and there over the
country, does not agree in regard to
the good results of salt. It seems to be
rather an open question, to be decided
by experiment in every locality (which,
after all, is the only conclusive test of
the merits of any fertilizer). The
claims are rather extravagant—accord
ing to our own experience —and it is
not stated in what condition the salt
was used —whether the clean mer
chantable salt, or the refuse from the
packeries, or smoke-house. The latter
is really more valuable as a manure
and costs less than the former.
We would be glad if a number of our
readers would experiment with salt in
both forms. Let strips of wheat or oats
be sown with given quantities of salt
alternating with clean salt, refuse salt,
and none at all—and report the result.
It is the only way in which the un
mistakable truth can be reached, and
not then after one experiment only.
\Ve are constantly reminded of the
great necessity for an agricultural sta
tion, where all such questions may be
tested and settled by the most careful
and oft-repeated experiments.

CORRESPONDENCE.
TOO MUCH AIVICE
Editor Index —One can scarcely pick up
a newspaper, whether agricultural,scientific,
literary, politic.il, or religious, without find
ing advice to the farmers somewhat like the
following: “What you need in order to suc
ceed is to cut down your farms -make them
small.” Now where do these kind advisers
live? For in my country they have got
down already—whether cut down or kicked
down or pushed down—they are down so
small that theowner doesn't run agne-horse
farm but has to be run. And they do not
succeed yet Now how much smaller must
we cut them 1
Now, some of these farmers, that have cut
down their farms, have gone to other busi
ness to keep from starving and are now
scribbling in the newspapers, advising their
brother farmers to do j ist what they have
done—cut their farms down.
W. A. Overton.
Union Point, Ga.
[Our correspondent is eviden'ly out
ot patience with so many advisers.
Well, we don’t much blame him after
all, for there is a class of writers, who,
though its sentimental sympathy with
the farmer, have not “been through
the mill” since the war; they have not
had the struggles with old debts and
new, free labor and no labor at all,
droughts, storms and caterpiilffrs, low
prices and poor crops, and are not
prepared to fully appreci' e the em
barrassments that surround the farm
ers, and the difficulties that lie in the
way of a radical change of plans and
purposes—supposed to be necessary to
success in the future. But, after all,
advice from such sources is often good
and sensible. It is said that “any fool
can give advice—it takes a wise man
to follow it.” And moreover such ad
vice is not confined to the sources re
ferred to. Practical farmers have
adopted the “cutting down” process,—
have made a success of it, and advise
others to do likewise, —for instance,
Maj. J. F. Jones, of Troup. The
trouble with our correspondent’s neigh
bors—according to his account—is,
that some of them have persisted in
the extensive plan until they have been
“cut down, or pushed down, or kicked
down” by their creditors, or by sheer
inability to continue longer on that
line. They did not “cut down” in
pursuance of a well settled conviction
that it was the best policy, but like a
poor General, they have been forced
from one after another of their un
tenable and scattered positions, until
they have been driven to their very
door sills. Where a man is farming on
a more or less extensive scale and is
losing money every year, it is certainly
about the wisest thing he can do to
“cut down” at once, and thereby re
duce the amount of his losses. Such
a man may (and he often does) strug
gle a long time before he goes to the
wall, and generally the catastrophe,
when it comes, is overwhelming, and
ruin well nigh irretrievable. It were
far better to cut down at once, before
debt begins to embarrass, and failure
discourage, adopt a self-sustaining sys
tem, and avoid debt as if it were a deadly
upas.
As it is difficult to successfully
maneuver a large army in a strange
country, so it is to manage a large
plantation profitably under the
changed circumstances that surround
the Southern planter and farmer.
But if, after all, our correspondent
thinks he can do better by following
the example of those alluded to in the
last paragraph of his letter, by all
means let him do so. It is certainly
wise in a man to follow any honorable
business that gives bread, rather than
starve to death on a farm.]

THE DALLAS WHEAT.
Mr. Editor :—1 see an article in
The Index of the 15th ultimo, sayirg
that the Department of Agriculture oi
Georgia, distributed a number of small
packages of Dallas wheat among the
farmers of Georgia, and from the re
turns made by them to the department,
the result as to it as a success are con
flicting. Several packages were dis
tributed by Mr. E. H. Edenfield, Sec
retary of the Emanuel County Agri
cultural Society, and among those who
received a package was myself. I took
it be< a ise it was claimed to be a hardy
wheat, and not very subject to rust. I
wished to test its rust-proof qualities
more particularly, and sowed it broad
cast in my oat patch, selecting a spot
of land for it that oats, cotton and peas
invariably rusted on, and corn would
fire. I sowed it the first of November,
while I was sowing oats. The result
was that my oats got all killed by the
big freezes we had just as they were
coming up. The wheat was not killed,
and when I seeded my oat land over
in the spring, I reserved the spot where
the wheat stood. It grew off finely
and made excellent wheat, without
one speck of rust. It has a full, plump
berry, large, longhead, with stiff,flinty
straw. E. W. Lane, M. D.
When others are suffering, drop a word of
kindness and sympathy. If they are suffer
ing from a cold, give them Dr. Bull’s Cough
Syrup; a few doses of this valuable remedy
will afford instant relief, and a twenty five
cent bottle will cure the worst cough.
