Letter From Hon. J. R. Respess.
Ellaville, Schley County, Ga., )
September 20, 1877. j
Editor Argus I promised in tho
spring to report to yon again about
my ffvc aero patch of cotton. We
have now picked 5,4G0 pounds out cf
It, and haven’t got exceeding ono-thiid
of it, unless this rainy weather
should rot a good deal, which, I ap
prehend", will be tho case. I noticed
before this wet spell set in several
bolls had rotted on one stalk. I
shall lose, probably, at least one bale
from this cause, but hope, notwith
standing, to get ten 450 pound bales.
The total on Ily in money on this
patch for the present year is :
Acid phosphate $35 00
Cut'on seed 15.00
Ashes ... 7,60
Total $57.50
With this acid phosphate I com
posted 4,500 pounds cotton seed and
4,500 pounds stablo manure as fol
lows : I put a layer of stable manure
fust, then upon it a layer of phos
phate, then a layer of cotton seed,
then phosphate, then stable manure,
then phosphate, and wetting it thoiv
oughlv as we proceeded, but not wet
enough to drip. When we finished
I had tho pen, (rail pen) about 15
rails covered with boards. In
about four weeks, when the mass had
got hot all through, I had one side
of the pen taken down, and digging it
down from the top to the bottom, to
thoroughly mis it, had it thrown into
another pen. This should be done
twice at least, but I hadn’t the time
to do it again before planting. This
made me 11,000 pounds ot compost,
2,000 pounds ac'd phosphate, 4,500
pounds cotton seed, and 4,500 pounds
stable manure—this latter though
was guessed at; it was damp, and
some of it was from my hog pens
where my hogs nad been fattened.
My patch was deeply broken up with
long diamond scooters, then laid off
with a long shovel in rows four feet
wide. At the bottom of this fuirow
I had distributed with a guano
trumpet strong black-jack ashes at
the rate of ten bushels per acre ; upon
these ashes, in the same furrow, and
all over it, I had the compost
scattered by hand at ti e rate of about
2,000 pounds per acre; then immedi
ately followed in the same furrow a
long diamond scooter mixing the
compost and ashes with the soil, after
which I had a furrow, with a long
diamond scooter, run on each side
the inner edge of flic shovel furrow,
thus listing it up, and these followed
by a furrow on each side with a turn
plow, making a bed, with a middle
left about the width of two good fur-
rows, which remained until the cot
ton was chopped out. Three and a
half acres of this patch was in extra
ordinary good heart, having been
heavily composted with lot manure
and covered with oak leaves for the
three preceeding years. The re
maining acre and a half having been
cultivated for the first time this year,
the cotton on it is 30 per cent, poorer
than the other. In addition I had
hauled on it about 50 loads of marl,
which, however, as I found after
wards by an analysis at the agricul
tural department, to be compara
tively worthless on account of the
very large per centago of sand in it.
But marl is very valuable and farmers
should use it, having it first, analyzed
by sending samples of it to Dr. Janes
at Atlanta. It will be done without
any charge.
This patch (very ordinary pine
land) would not have made this year
tho fourth of its motivation, without
the previous and picsent years ma
nuring, exceeding 2,000 pounds of
seed cotton, worth say SGO ; but it
will make this year, I think, at least
14,000 pounds seed cotton, worth
$420, or nearly SBS per acre. Allow
ing SIOO to pay for the present years
manuring (with the cotton seed) and
labor, it will leave a nett profit of
$320 on five acres. But that is not
all, the land would make a bale of
cotton next year per acre, if it was a
favorable year for cotton, without a
expended for manure. I pur
pose sowing it, as soon as the cotton
is picked, in oats, at the rate of three
bushels per acre, and manuring it
with the seed of the cotton made on
it, and expect to get 500 bushels oats,
and then plant it in potatoes and get
1,500 bushels potatoes. This is a
great country—as good as any I
reckon—and tho day will come when
our lands will sell high. As some old
ancient said in reference to oratory,
that the thing was action, and then
action , action, so would I say make
manure, make, manure, mako a heap
of it, and heaps of it. Show me a
man who makes manure and 1 know
tho rest. J. R. Respess.
P. S.—Tho colton was left three
foot in tho drill, one stalk in a hill,
and was too thick at that. Also, 1
made on tho samo patch last year
300 bushels, and the year before
about 180 bushels, and the first year
100 bushels of corn, (3J acres) ; but
it was manured from the start.
J. R. It.
The State Fair.
The Atlanta Constitution says the
approaching lair will be a “fmo exhi
bition”—a “grand success.” The
people there are all alive with fair
excitement and determination to
mako it a success. Stock men are
coining from Ouio, Maryland, Caro
lina, Tennessee and Kentucky. Geor
gia is to bo largely represented in the
stock department. Mr. Richard
Peters alone lias taken thirty stalls.
Coi.per Nesbet will bring a car load
of stock. The display in the sfock
department is to be a very fine one —
the largest ever seen in Georgia.
The poultry and pigeon department
are to surpass any such exhibition
ever made in the State. An Ohio
fowl lover has asked for accommoda
tions for GO trios of fowls. A pigeon
dealer has entered over 150 pairs ol
pigeons, embracing every known va.
ricty.
The Columbus Enquirer thinks,
however, the Constitution is work
ing up a ‘‘huge failure,” and will
probably succeed in nothing but
horse racing.
Perhaps when they learn more of
each other they will be nearer to
gether in opinions.
A Negro Imposter.
A colored man styling himself as
teacher and doctor to the colored
people near Marietta a short t ime
ago that President ITayes had sent
him among them to teach children
and doctor tbeir families, and that
for one dollar for each child to buy
the books he would get them and be
gin school. The teacher-doctor re
ceived SSO and left to perpetrate a
fraud on another community.
We would urge the colored people
to treat all such men, white or black,
with the contempt they deserve. Too
long have unscrupulous impostors,
from the Froedman’s Saving Bank
down to the jewelry venders and po
litical tramps been robbing them of
their hard earned money'. A tale of
pity, brought about in colored libera
tion, or a promise of much for noth
ing, has long been the wedges which
would open a colored man's heart.
Impolite.
The practice of some of oar young
men and boys in hollowing at persons
while passing through the streets, their
frequent imitations of steam signal, for
“putting on breaks” is not only impo
lite and annoying hut insulting to the
person for whom the demonstrations
may be made. However innocent of
disrespect, howevor innocent of amuse
ment, the practice affords but momen
tary enjoymeotwhile it impresses a stran_
ger or acquaintance, who dislike such
allusions, with a contempt which long
years of reformation will not remove.
A stranger regards it as proof of ill
breeding and lack of sound sense, while
an acquaintance believes it to be an
intended insult.
The first number of the Commer
cial Reporter, published by W. T.
Christopher, in Atlanta, Ga., is before
us. It is devoted to the mercantile and
manufacturing interest of that city, and
will be published semi-monthly at $1 00
per year. Christopher established the
Fort Valley Mirror, and by joining en
ergy with deterrninalion, succeeded in
winning a reputation among the people
and printers. Having sold that paper
for a larger and more special editorial
labors in a different place, it is hoped he
will, as he deserves to, succeed beyond
his expectations.

Wo present our renders with a highly

It will be seen tlmt in farming, ns in

a leador. Itcnd this communication ye
grumblers of poor lands, ond prophets
of starvation, read it yo agricultural
despondents, who spond your winters
without utilizing ibo licli, fertilizing

ing of, and sighing for a better country.
You dont need any better nud aro unwor

It is an cviiloncc of tho folly of plant

ing. Plant a smaller spaoe nud enrioh

the experiment again after awhile.
