Short Cotton € rop—Boll Worm.

Mr. Editor: It hsa been my intention for some
time to write you a ahoit communication, acme
what on ‘‘general principles,” though it is not my
design to deal in mney sketches, but in facts as I
understand them.
I will commence by saying for the information
of those wno do not know directly, aa well as for
those who are directly interested iu “ King Cot
ton,” tba! the crop through this section is des
tined to be a short one. There are various rea
sons that force this conclusion. Iu the first place,
we have had an unusually bad year for cotton, in
const quenee of heavy and continual rains during
the fruiting season, loilowed by the destructive
boll worm, in many localities sweeping nearly all;
tlun the ravages Oi the caterpillar commenced,
uud .he) are doing their work effectually. What
damage will be done by their depredations, f am
unable at present to determine. Taking it alto
gether the cutiook for cotton ia gloomy, it baa
more enemies, and ia subject to more disasters,
, tbau any crop grown; therefore ’ti# not sound
| policy to risk too much on it. Viewing It in an
other aspect, it is not very encouraging. The
j price paid for cotton is too low to be remunera
tive, and the ‘‘cotton ring” seems determined to
keep it down. The funds, judging from what has
transpired, set in to be short —inadequate to meet
ihe demands even o* :hort crops, at the low flg
vr.s that rule at present. What must be the ieel
ings ol those who have laborul hard, tor long
wea y mouths, and staked til upon s cotton crop,
to see that crop devastated, the prices reguU‘ed
not by the tile of the crop, but by shylocks, rpec
ulaiors, and ricg6—money locked up on Wall
s’reel and elsewhere, auil cotton u heavy drag is
it not enough to cause us to relinquish our affec
tions, which have been inordinate, and place them
elsewhere? Look at the impoverished state of
the country: money hard up, your corn cribs
empty, mules’ stomachs empty, save the grass
they have nipt, whieh grows spoutanei.ua irom
the earth, and It there was a mortgage to mat,
they would die in many instances.
Emptiness seems to pervaJe all over the land;
.s it not lamentable, and yet how true? Farmers
of Monroe ccuuty, and Middle Georgia, you are
blest wi’.h a bulubrio'is climate and a pioductive
soil. You can aud ought to lender your farms
sell-sustaining, by a diversity ot crops, and prop
er cultivation. I beseech you to wake up Irom
your lethagy, shake off the shackles that Lave
bouud you, dispel the iff-lated delusion—the siren
dream of hope. Boast not ol your achievements
as au agiiculturul people, talk not ot your iude-
as husbandmen, under existing circum
stances ; it is a misnomer, a thing ol fancy, a mere
hallucination ot the braiu. Far better lor U 6, if
the last vaslige of the ill dated “King” was sunk
beneath the ocean waves, aud the tempestuous
billows that surge aud foam above it, sing its re
quiem—better consign it to the tomb of oblivion,
and let the dark waves ot taciturnity roll aro mil
its mouldeiiug greatness--than lor us to remain
forever poor, “hewers ol wood and drawers of
water * ior the batauce ot the world, and especial
ly lor the “cotiou rings” Our action in this
matter is a reproach upon our common sense and
iuiilligence, to eay nothing of the sagacity that
should characterize us.
Of what particular eonciru to a well-to-do inde
pendent tanner, who has plenty of corn, wheat,
oats, rye, barley, peas, potatoes, meat and lard,
who has looked well to this matter, and kept free
from debt comparatively, sigued no mortgages,
is the short cotton crop, or if there was a total
tail are. Of all the people that live, move, aud
have a habitation upon me farmers as a class (hon
orable xceptlons, however,) are the most short
sighted and reckless in the adjustment of their
farming interests. Their energy aud zeal has
lutu misguided, and like the ill-tated Sysiphus in
mythology, who continued to roll the stone np
the mountain’s steep declivity, bat ere he reached
the summit, down ti came, only to roil it up
agaiu. Such, to my min and, is the aetiou of
mauy of the farmers of the present day. My
counsel is, reverse your engiue, and set sail for
more quiet waters.
The season is near at hand ‘.o commence prepa
ration lor the fall crops—6mall grains. Above all
things ot an earthly nature, do not let tue season
pass unimproved. Be not led astray by an ignis
fatuus, ruuuicg alter the poor worm-eaten cotton;
sow graiu in profusion—wheat, oats, rye, barley,
etc.— prepare your land well for the reception of
the seed, aud tiust in the merciful providence of
God for an abundant harvest. It is far easier and
less expensive to raise a grain crop, and, every
thing considered, quite as remunerative in the end.
I will not weary your patience, by going into de
tails, and a punctilious showing in figures, but
relcr you to the thrifty, well-to-do farmers of the
eouutiy, who make cotton secondary—in other
words, surplus. Gov. Bmith at Athem, during
the recent agricultural meeting, iD eloquent terms
advocates this policy. Hon. ii. 11. Hill, in his
Ji nteboro speech some time back, in language
true, touching, aud inspiring, earnestly entreated
the laimers to this course, as is well known The
distinguished characters in this end other States,
with zeal and eneigy, called upon the husbandly
of the c*uutry, to adopt this course. I have ad
vocated aud practiced it long, in my humble way,
thinking it was best. Each succeeding year dem
onstrates to me, clearly, that it is the only line o
policy tbit leads to independence, iiow read ly
all will agree to the correctness of the propo i
li u;. Bat oh, how slow to embrace it!
There is but one more subject to which I
shat! call your attention at present; aud that is
the labor question. I am conscious 'tis ra her a
knotty oue, the proper so’ution of which has
never been attained. Numbers seem to be satis
lied with it in its present and sorgan zed shape. By
writ defined carieit of action, we might have
had a good, oh—‘lent, laboriug eiass among us—
’it ■ fretdmec. Bat many, lu their eagerness and
anxiety to procure a sufflc'eacy <" , f labor, have un

at.v.u* ot thelnt or of this secti >n at the preae.it

Such are the reflection* of an humble. Rocky
etWl fiMti,
FORSYTH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING OCTOBER 7. 1873.
To tlie Farmer*.
“ Uustieus,” a cii respondent in the Laurens-
Tille, 8. C., Herald, gives tome straightforward
advice to thj planters of South Carolina. The
Factors’ Lien is the curse of every cotton growing
Btate. Do away with it; let every planter be his
own factor. Join a Grange and let that be factor
for all connected with it. The object of the Grange
is to untie the farmers from Maine to Texas lor
their own protection and ac vaacemeut. Incalcu
lable benefit In every direction will accrue Irom
sneb nn union. It is rema kable that there has
been no such co-operation op to thi3 time.
Politician* have succeed in dividing the people
upon fueLon&l issue*. Prejudice hag been more
poaciful than intereat. Slavery has made the
rock upou which the people were sundered, and
torn apart. Ttiank God it and buried; and
the sooner it is forgotten by all our people, the
better if will tie for the country.
Another cause operating most prejudicially
against Agriculture, ia the deplorable ignorance
generally prevalent among those who engage
among i. The motion was generally obtained
that learning is not necessary to the practical
farmer. Famers have educated their sons lor
other pursuits, but to educate their boys for their
own calling seemed to them a waste’of time and
money.
Our practice shows how deep-seated our Igno
rance has been. There is no pursuit which require*
a more thorough training, which taxes more heav
ily all the faculties of the mind, which require#
ar.d demands a more varied, acurate, and exten
sive store of knowledge than the science of Agri
culture. If science pays anywhere, it pays a hun
dred fold in the field. All other sciences are made
to contribute to the perfection of this. And yet
farmers have educated their more gifted sons for
other jirofessions under the impression that their
own noble vocation diJ not furnished a proper
field for the exercise of their abilities. The suc
cessful management of a faioi is a higher evidence
of mental capaci y than the making oi a speech or
preaching of a sermon.
In view ol these tacts, ia it not a matter of just
surprise that farmers are so careless in endevoring
to tit themselves, by reading and reflection, for
the hippy and successful prosecution of that bus
iness upon which God has set his approval *?
* # - * *
Agriculture will advance more by experiment
ing than by theorizing. Every farm is a labratory,
and every farmer is an experimenter. He is a very
poor observer who is constantly experimenting
in the vast and luxuriant field without tindiug
out 6ome fact, or stumbling upon some principle
that would be of great utility to the community.
While no mun can excel in all things, every
farmer has a specialty. To illustrate, one cf my
neighbors never fails to raise a good sweet pota
to crop, another is lucky with tobacco, another ia
equally fortunate iu the culture ol the meloD,
while another is always successful with the beet
and onion. A well organized and efficient Grange
can elicit all the varied information of its mem
bers, acquired by by long years of patient obser
vation, and make it ol immense benefit to the
community,
The Grange is also a tine social festival. We
are trespassing, however, upon the Herald’s space.
If we can find time in the midst of the busy cot
ton picking season we may say a word or two
about “middle men,” Guanos, system of labor,
and that curse and abomination of* the cotton
growing region, the Factors’ Lien. Meanwhile,
let us labor to improve ourselves, protect our in
terests as fnr as we can, enrich our fields, beautity
our homes, diffuse u spirit of cheerfulness, and
conteutmenl throughout our households, help
our neighbors, pay our debts, aud Ptpvidence will
smile uoon us.

How Youno Men Should Drink.— lf young
men will drink liquors, wo insist that they should
do it gracefully. A great many accomplished
bartenders and polite bystanders have their riaa
bles excited to a degree dangerous to proper sa
loon decorum by the awkward manner in which
upstart green ’uns take their grog, to say nothing
of the danger from strangulations incident ot
starting a horn of brandy down the wrong way.
The following is the proper way to do the busi
ness. it may come a little awkward at first, but
practice will make it ei s y, and the habit of doing
the thing gracefully and easily will savo you from
a world of ridicule and from many of the evils
which crazy temperance people are always charg
ing as are sure to follow drinking: Stand np
stiaight like a man, your left side !o the bar, take
the glass neatly and firmly between the thumb
and forefinger of the right hand, letting the little
linger drop down to near the bottom of the glass
in a plane exactly corresponding with the top of
the bar, until it is precisely before you. Just then
throw the head back a little, push the chin for
ward, so as to leave the throat in a full open, easy
position. Compress the lips tightly, draw a full
breath through the nostrils, and with a graceful
curve raise the glass until the rim H within about
three inches of the cbio. N ,w is the supreme mo
ment. Just here turn your eyes upward, think of
your mother, and open your Lauds instead of your
mouth! I’any one laughs it will be an ictu t
winch you should resent by not goin; there again
