One Cause of Southern Poverty.
First,then,I assign asononfiho reason-
of oar continued poverty and want of pro
gress, the fact that we do not produce
enough of what we eat or wear, and but
tOumuch on a credit. To present an ela
borate argument in defence of this posi
tion would require a volume One or two
practical facts will suffice to prove mt
as-ertion true, and the answer that ever '
iarmcr wilt give when applying the idea
i..'his own case, will corroborate those
facts.
In 1859, the South produced over five
millions bales ot cotton, ot four hundred
pounds each, which sold at an average «.i
eleven cents per pound, realizing less than
8^50,000.000.
In I860, the cotton crop of the South
was less than three and a half millions ol
bales, four hundred pounds each and sold
for an average of twenty-two centspei
pound, realizing over 8300 000,000. The
cotton crop of 1873 reached considerably
beyond four millions of bales, and sold for
less than $275.000,000. And tbiahas been
the history of our crops annually in tin
past; have wo any reasons to anticipate
that similar effects will not follow thosame
course in the future? Then if the all cot
ton policy, or a largo cot ton crop has ac
tually tended to impoverish us as a people,
who will sssert that the same policy will
not have similar ctTecs upon individuals.
On paper it can be easily proven, that
cotton, as a crop, will pay better than any
or all other products. But these figures
are far more unreliable than tho oil-
abused labor of the country There is no
question but that individual farmers, hav-
ing lands peculiarly adapted to the
growth of cotton, can not more money
growing cotton and buying their bread-
stuffs and provender than by cultivating
a diversity of cropc But it is an egre
gious error to think, that because A, B, or
0 can do so therefore every Southeri
farmer can pursuo the same courso, anlici
paling tbe sumo result.
Through a scries of years regnrdloss of
tho price of cotton, (I reiterate here what
I have often usserted before in theso pa
ges,) on ninety-nine out of every hundred
Southern farms, it is cheaper to grow oats
for plough animals than to haul corn from
tho nearest depot, because oats will follow
cotlou with no cost but. the seed and har
vesting, both of which can be paid for
every winter in the mutton that can be
fatted on the growing crops ; it is cheaper
to raise ail the pork tho farmer’s family
can consume annually, than to buy bacon
at ten cents per pound ; it is cheaper to
gr< w a pound oi wool, up to a certain
number of pounds, than the same n ,mber
o! pounds ot cotton; a:.d it is cheaper t<
grow anything that can possibly be grown
upon the farm than to buy it on a credit
Few farmers unde stand properly what
is meant by “ buying on a credit.'' They
know they get the article and pay more
for it than if they paid tho cash, hut they
never once calculate tho premium or
percentage they are paying for this privi
lege ot getting time or “credit.” Let me
illustrate: The average farmer may raise
meal enough to do him til! tho 1st of
April- By that time he has to buy, but
having no cash, though good credit, (■<
“ goes to the store” and buys bacon at
15 cents per pound payuble 1st November
following, lie learns the cash pri« e is 12*
cents per pound, but necessity compels
him to buy on a credit. He thus pays 2*
cents per pound tor the privilege of buy
ing on a credit or one sixth live price to lie
paid, which is simply 16j per cent, per
annum for Hie uso of the money. But he
buys in April, and lias to pay 1st Novem
ber, only eight months’ credit, aid thus
pays twenty five per cent, per annum for t tie
uso of money. What farmercan afford t<
do this and live? What is applicable to
bacon is equally so to corn, hay flour,
implements, mules, and every article the
farmer buys on credit.
It is estimated that the average incidse
ol the agricultural wealth of tho United
Slates is about four per cont. per annum
The average increase of agricultural wealth
in any Southern State, annually, aince the
war has not been one per cent. Indeed
some of tho Slates have traveled the other
road, and are now lost in tho wilderness
of debt; and there is no more potent cause
for this condition of things titan that of
buying on a credit tho necessaries o life
to enable them to grow cotton, and tins,
loo, very frequently at a cost that exceud-
iu market value. There is an infatuation
about Ibis cultivation of cotton that
amounts to an hallucination. Can there
be nothing invented to so far dispel it as
to indued tho Southern farmer to live
more within himself and less at tho morev
of the Shylocks of tho land ?—Col. D. Wy
att Aiken, in Rural Carolinian for Febru

A Town Farm.
Our attention was called a day or two
since to an old gentleman in this city, who
owns a house und two acres ot laud, on
which it is situated, who conies as near
** living at home and boarding at tho same
place,” as tho next one. He has not
bought over twelve pounds of bacon in
fifteen years, raising three or four hogs
on his own lot each year, that fornishe-
him bountifully. He keeps three or four
cows, and sells milk and butter enough,
with vegetables from his garden and what
he saves off of his lot, to winter them
His garden is also a source of revenue, for
during tho winter and spring ho always
bus something in it,such us turnip salud,
“collards,” and from it potatoes, which
brings in a little money almost daily. The
remainder of his lot is planted in corn, that
yields finely, which broad- him. and also
fattens his hogs, with the aid of the “slops”
from his kitchen. From this patch he gets
a snug little amount of peas, shucks and
fodder, which ho stores away for his cattle,
and each year has a beef or two for sale.
He makes bis own lard after killing his
htogs, and about tho only things of any
cnnsequenco in tho eating lino lie has to
buy, are flour, sugar and coffee
Ilisjfamily consists of three persons, or e
of whom has been an invuiid for many
years. Of course he lives economically,
and when not engaged working on his lot
(and we should huvestated he gets his ma
nure from his cow lot,) he is engaged at
his calling, from which ho makes a suffi
ciency to pay his other expenses. lie is
quite an old man, noted for his honesty
and integrity, and wo doubt if there ar.e
a half dozen peopio who know of what wo
have written.—Griffin News.
The Tap-Boot of the Cot oa Plant.
Tbo tap-root of the cotton plant ex
tends far below tho plow furrow of ordi
nary cultivation. It forces itself even into
tho hardest subsoil, but to do so more
easily, 0» well as more profitably to the
farmer, the subsoil should he loosened to
as great a depth as possible, it is clear
that these tap-roots find somet hing in the
subsoil that tbey wont, or they would not
penetrate so deep to seek it. It is not for
moisture alone that this penetration takes
placo. Although this enabled the plants
to stand a protracted drouth, they want
and they get something there in addition
to moisture which is important to “®
growth of th> plants, and 0 " n8e ff nenlly
the profit of tbe farmer. We throw out
