THURSDAY MORNING, JUDY 13, 1871.
Tie Largest ail Most Coulete Stool
I.etier from Twiggs County.
Flat Woods, July 4, 1871.
Editor$ Telegraph and Messenger .• I notice
in your columns a solicitation, that yonr patrons
in their various localities should inform yon of
the prospects and progress of crops in their va-
rions localities. I think this is proper. The
Government has its official agents scattered all
over the land making investigations and report
ing on the same periodically; consequently the
Agricultural Barean is better informed concern-
ing agricultural progress in the various sub
districts than the citizens are, of whose interest
the report is made. This ought not so to be,
and would not so be if the citizens would circu
late their own news in their own neighborhoods,
for their own benefit.
I have waited lo see if no one from the flat
woods of Twiggs county felt enough interest in
their social affairs to make a report of our de
pressed and dejected condition, but seeing no
such exposure in such case I send you the fol
lowing :
It is unnecessary to state that such an
amount of rain has never fallen in our locality,
within the memory of the oldest inhabitants, as
has fallen during the past six months. And
what is still more remarkable, the more and
heavier rains have fallen as the summer has ad
vanced. The consequences .of this inverse
ratio haB produced immense injnry to the
planter. We have not been able to plow on
an average more than three or three and a half
days in the week, since the first of April, which
embraces tho crop-making season, and during
this time we have not bad more than ten grass
killing days. The wot weather has drowned the
crops on old sandy bends, all bottom landshav
ing been rendered unavailable, by being con
stantly covered with water or sobbed at a tem
porary and partial drying. Fresh lands and old
sedge fields have done better, and where such
have been kept clear of grass and weeds the
crops look wolL
Stands of com were generally bad in the
spring, and the constant ravages of tho bud
worm kept the re-plant from filling up the miss
ing places on hard levels. This locality was
more infested by those pests than any other.
The washes upon the hillsides, and settling of
water upon the lower level land and on flats, has
made the stand continue bad; add to this tho
quantity and quality of work put npon tho com,
and the sum total is almost an entire failure on
at least one-half of the crop planted. There
is no guess work abont this conclusion, for when
the tassel on a com stalk is fully developed, no
shoot-nor silk having appeared, and the stalk
sound and fired from 12 to 20 inches from tho
ground, we know that whatever of such com is
to be already is, and that tho stalk is the crop.
Nearly half tho com in our vicinity is in this
condition, with an occasional greener stalk with
a small shoot scarcely visible sticking above the
boot of the blade, to vary the monotony. Add
to this grass and weeds that could not be killed,
and yon may form some idea of our standing
in com. But an excess of aoreago above last
year from ono-fourth to one-third will help the
matter some, and wo have some hopes yet of
not having much com to buy next year, if wo
can sow plenty of oats in the fall, and they will
make good crops next summer.
As to the cotton crop, I could bnt reiterate
what I have seen that others have said in other
localities, except that our land is poor, level,
low and flat, and perhaps in worse case than
many more favored spots where our staple is pro
duced. Onr stands are bad, grass prevails,
rains abound, labor scarce for the season, and
all things consire to mako tho cotton bag of
next crop bring its full valno. Shabspoare says
all things are well that end well. This short
crop will prove of advantage to the one in the
future at least; and hope it may to others in
their turn, that is, for tho planter. Cotton is
full twenty days later than last season.
Crops of oats were poor, bnt few planters
making the seed they planted; but, neverthe
less, grass is abundant, and may in a measure
supply the deficiency, with proper management.
No rye was sown, nor a patch of wheat; these
crops are so uncertain that planters avoid the
the issue. One of my neighbors planted
patch of wheat last year, tho only patch in all
our country. At tho usual time the famous
wheatbird came to look for his spring supplies,
and finding this solitary moracl, took all, regard
less of unearthly sounds, shots, death, etc.
This neighbor, who had raised his own wheat
for tho past fifty-flvo years, says he will not
•gain attempt such a thing, until his neighbors
shall make an effort in the same direction, for
he cannot afford to raise wheat for all the wheat-
birds.
Oar land is too poor, as well as too hot in
summer, to attempt to raiso barley, clover or
any of the grasses. Sorghum and sugar cane
have played out, because the grinding and man
ufacturing is too nasty a business for freedmen
to undertake. Twice the amount of the gross
profits of this business would not pay them to
nasty their hands with it. White folks are too
proud.
Even the fruit of wild growth, such as grapes,
berries, etc., are all blasted ; vines are ranning
at random, withont ballast to make them even
respected. The bnahes of this genus deserve
to be cut down as cumberers of the ground
oven tho trees of the forest have aborted their
fruit, and are valued as shade trees or timber;
but through the lanes and the forests the cattle
go not lowing, but rather bellowing, making
proud their gala-day of free grasses, plenty of
their own, not desiring to cross the bounds of
poor fencing, which they occasionally see.
The apple crop is almost a failure, many trees
not even blooming in the spring, others casting
their fruit untimely, yet others bearing partial
crops, but stunted in size and deficient in fla
vor.
Tho peach crop earlior in the season promised
an abundant yield of small fruit, bnt as the wet
season continued, these have casta vast amount
of inferior production, and as the season advan
ces for maturity the rot supplies the delinquency
of all past spoilers; and aided by the worm of
the tree and worm of tho fruit, seems disposed
to give the last sad blow to the hopes of all
lovers of this super-excellent fruit. Plums have
also melted before the blight of the wet season,
not many having the hardihood to face the des
truction of the two lip*.
Irish potatoes have overdone themselves—
everybody having made more and larger ones
than any of his neighbors, and all good, mealy
and well tasted. But it is not so with sweet
potatoes; they have been drowned and grassed
out, until their combined vinou3 and rooted
strength has seemed to fail. Yet throngh a long
season until frost, they may so recuperate as to
make seed to give hope for next year. O.
