LEITER FROM COL. It. II.;

Tuom.vsvii.i.k, December 20, 1875. 1
CliHtor* Trlegraph anand
The many fluttering notices given uin
in your valuable; paper tiavo attract-:
ed tiniifyial attention. Many of those !
articles have been copied by other
papers, particularly the Savannah
Morning Nrw.<.
Tlk'hc articles have caused a very
large nninber of your readers, and ;
those of the Morning .Viaw, to write
me, nsking my mode of preparing the
land, manuring, planting and culti
vating, etc. 1 am induced to write
this communication in reply to these
various letters, and if you think it
worthy of a place in your columns j
and will bo of any benefit to your:
readers, you can publish it; if not, j
turn it over to your wa tc basket.
f will coitmioncc with oats. The
first n i of November, I clean off!
The laud *:i th.ll. the plow wii! J.
handsome work, then scatter broad
cast one hundred and‘fifty pounds of
good fertilizer to the acr.i, ami then
turn it over with a one-horse Watt
pldw, plowing just deep enough as j
not to turn up the clay, (four or five!
inches deep) then harrow the ground
well, then lay off the lands, and sow j
the oats, putting in two and u half ti> >
three bushels to the acre, then plow j
in the oats with ft long throe inch!
scooter and finish with another har-!
rowing, and puts it in splendid con-1
dition. The oats take root deep!
down in the soil, coum up quick, and j
grow off finely, and are in condition !
to withstand the cold and freezes.
When they get about one foot high,
broadcast over them one hundred and j
fifty pounds per aero, of the same for- i
tilizer used when sowed. Any good •
phosphate will do. Merry man V am- :
moniated dissolved bones is excellent, \
lust year I used sea fowl guauo. With I
this treatment, I have never made j
less than sixty bushels lo the acre, j
and as high as ninety-seven bushels j
avorago crop. j
After the oats are cut mid taken
from the field, sow down two bushels
of peas to the aero, broadcast, and
plow them in with the oat stubbles.
When the vines begin to have young
peas, plow them under with a two
liorso plow. The next spring this
should be the cotton land. I would
break up this land in January, with a
oiie-liorso Watt plow, and fallow be
hind in the same furrow with a sub
soil plow. About tlindentli of March
lay off the cotton raws, and put the
manure in those rows and bed on
them. I would make a compost of
30 bushels of green cotton seed, 1UI)
lbs. best acid phosphate, JOO lbs. well
rotted and pulverized stable manure
and 50 lbs. common acid to Hie acre.
Let the beds stand about ton days, to
become composted, then plant the
cotton. Before chopping out, run a
steel scraper around the cotton; this
will clean off any young grass that
may be upon the beds, and will not
go deeper than one inch, and leave
the cotton in a beautiful condition for
the hoe. Chop out to a stand the
first hoeing with a number two lioe.
From experiments made with va
rious plows, at the first plowing after
chopping out, 1 am satisfied a very
narrow scooter, with a board nailed
to tho stock to keep from covering
the young cotton, will cause the cot
ton to grow off more rapidly, from
fhe fact that it leaves the ground fri
able, so that heat and rain can pene
trate to the roots. All after work
should be done with a scoop, and very
shallow, and should be plowed every
two weeks until the branches will not
be injured by the plow.
Corn should always bo rotated after
cotton. The land should bo broke up
as soon as the picking is finished with
a good turning plow, followed by the
subsoiler in the same manner as de
scribed for preparing the land for cot
ton. This deep plowing lets tho wa
ter into the clay, and will enable the
corn to stand extremes of wet weath
er and drought. In January lay off
the rows six feet apart, and distribute
ii these furrows three-fifths of tho
cotton seed (or other manure) to be
used. Let ibeso seed bo green, and
bed upon it with two furrows.
In February, run a furrow ono foot
on each sido of the furrow containing
tho cotton seed, and plant tho corn in
these furrows, at such distauco as
thought best. This gives doublo
rows two foot apart, and four feot
middles. Tho first plowing should
be dono deeply, with a long narrow
scooter plow. At tho second plowing,
open a furrow ono foot from each
sido of the corn, with a six-inch shov
el plow, and put in these furrows the
remaining two-fifths of well rotted
cotton seed, and cover it with a sweep,
thus completing tho working out of
' the middles. All after work should
bo dono with the sweep. Tho nar
! row rows cannot be plowed but twice.
1 I use a cultivator, made for the pur
pose, having four very narrow plows
or teeth, and completing the work at
one going through of the horse. The
corn should have at least three plow
ings and two hoeings.
It seems difficult for many to fully
understand the double-row plan of
planting corn. 1 am not wedded to
this plan. I have planted on this
plan three years, simply because there
is no other plan by which so many
stalks can bo got upon an acre, and
give as much distance in the middles
for circulation of air. When land is
highly manured, the greater numbe r
of stalks put upon an acre, the great
er will bo tho yield, and will be less li- (
able to fire.
Fine crops of corn may be made by :
planting in single rows. In 1872 1
made fifty-two bushels, average crop,
per acre, and planted on tuo old sin
gle-row plan. The corn was planted
in five-foot rows, and the corn drop-:
ed eighteen inches apart. But tho
land was heavily fertilized with cotton
seed. The green seed were put in j
the ground in January, the corn:
planted in February, and manured!
with rotten cottonseed, at the second!
11 lowing. Manuring at the second j
plowing makes the earing of the corn j
certain, and heavin' corn does not
exhaust the laud half so much, and j
comes to the aid of the stalk, just at
the time when it needs it most to
make the grain.
To sho e the bonefitof the intensive
system, and good work, 1 give you a
statement of ten coonseoutivo crops j
made on my fifteen acre farm, com-;

Thu above is from actual sales and j
the true market values. I have |
omitted the values of the fodder, po-:
tatiH's, hay, peas, puinkins, cashaws,
and oat straw, which I used. Let no
farmer expect to enrich his land in
one throe or five years. As well ex-!
poet an infant to attain its growth by !
a fow mouths’ extra feeding. It re-j
quires many years labor, porsevor- j
auco and constant manuring.
Messrs. Editors, it is now a known
fact that the crops of corn and cot ton
in Middle, Southwestern and South
ern Georgia, are shorter than last
year, fully one-third. Tho long, con
tinuous bad weather fur cotton pick
ing has damaged the quality of more
than half the crop, and the average
price received by the planter is not
above nine cents. It cost twelve and
a half cents to make the present crop,
therefore the planter losses fully sev
enteen dollars on every bale of his
cotton. Supposing the State of Geor
gia makes four hundred thousand
bales of cotton; the loss to the plant
ers of Georgia will be seven million
dollars, and tho loss to Thomas
county nearly two hundred thousand
dollars.
This state of things makes it im
possible for planters to meet their en
gagements with tho merchants, and
in consequence of iliis failure of the
planters, the merchants will not be
able to aid them with supplies the
coming year, us heretofore. If the
planters fail to obtain supplies, what
is to become of tho laborers depend
ent upon them? Tno negroes, at
present, have the most of their corn
jon hand, and if they act wisely and
don’t sell it, (as they generally do be
: fore Christinas), it will subsist them
I until early peas / and Irish potatoes

como in, and by planting plentifully
of these, it will carry them until swoot
potatoes and corn como in. It there
fore behooves those laborers to deny
themselves promptly of any extrava
gance of rations, and to begin to stint
themselves, and by all moans to take
great care of their corn and not sell
anv part of it. A fuiluro to do this
will canso them a vast amount of
hunger and suffering. They lmvo
heretofore trifled away their corn, and
depended upon being supplied by
their white employers. Tho coming
year it will bo doing well if the plan
ter can supply his stock and his own
family, and will not bo able to provide
i bread for the laborer.
| To meet- this impending suffering,
planters and laborers must look to
! the garden, and plant largely of early
: pens, potatoes, turnips, onions, beans,
i cabbage, early corn and sweet pota
toes. Wo should lay aside at least
two acres for early vegetables to meet
! the coming emergency, and to sell at
Northern markets. Plant eueumbi rs,
j potatoes, (Irish and sweet,) beans, 1
onions and melons. These will liml !
ready sale, and will bring in cash just !
at tho time when it is needed to pur
chase bacon. At the same time it j
will diversify the crop. • Sugar cane,
should be planted largely, also sweet
potatoes. Tho old system of plant
ing large cotton crops must bo cn- 1
tirely abandoned, and must bo sub- !
stitilled with grain and stock raising, j
Fortunately the oat crop was the
largest ever raised in this county, and
seed are abundant. Sow down all;
the waste land for stock; graze them
upon the green oats until sufficient
time to run up and make seed. When :
the oats are in a proper state to cut
for feed, put in the slock to fatten up
on them.
Ground peas should come next as
food, and then sweet potatoes. This,
is tho safest, cash st, surest and cheap
est method to raise hogs, and at the
same time keeps them enclosed, halt- •
dy to the call and less likely to b
stolen. To succeed at hog raising j
great care and labor must be given to
it No business will thrive without
this. The owner ought to call the!
hogs himself dail}*, and count thorn,
and know every hog, and when one
is missing hunt it up without delay, j
This calling and euro is generally!
entrusted to negroes, and hero lies
the cause of the failure to raise hogs.
Many say they Can’t raise them. It !
can be done by every farmer wii.li .
proper attention. The cause of the -
failure is inattention and laziness. |
Enough hogs to supply any ordinary ;
family can be raised around the bom ■
from slops, refuse vegetables, butter-;
milk, etc. There cun be no excuse j
for failure.
The same attention should lie giv
cu to horses and cows. Jho old hea
then plan of feeding in a largo trough !
in the middle of the lot, without shel
ter, leaving the stock exposed to the
rain and cold, is not only cruel treat- j
ment, but a pozbavc loss of stock and
a large amoti lof manure. Every ;
farmer ought to provide shelter for J
his horses and cows, and provide u j
stall for each animal. Ono spadeful
of manure saved under shelter is |
worth more than ten times tho (plan- !
tit.v that has laiu out exposed to the j
ruin and sun. Bosidos, the animals
will keop in bettor condition, and on
leas food when sheltered. Tho old
doctrine that God made thorn with
hair on tho sido for protection, and
that it ia a sin to house them or fight j
against tho law of nature, ia fast play-1
iug out, and the farmer who provides j
the best food and shelter, always has j
tho fattest, best animals, and the J
most and best manure.
We must not only raise stock and j
manure, but we must raise grain and j
provisions, as a surplus to supply tho j
wants of tho towns and cities, and J
the trades and craftsmen who labor j
iu tho foundries, machine shops, ship |
| yards, and factories. This class com- j
prise nearly or quito ono-lialf of the
! population of tho world, and are do- j
pendent upon Uio planter for food. •
1 Now when the planter ceases to raise •
; food and depends upon someone else j
j to supply him, then the laws and gov-
I urn supply and demand are violated
I by the planter, and be is at the mercy
! of him that raises the supplies of life.
Hence the speculator ia enabled to
force up the price.
But, says the planter, I am in debt,
and if I don't raise cotton to pay my
merchant he will be disappointed and
sue me and ruin me. If you are in
that condition you are ruined al
ready, and simply delaying the sale
of the sheriff, or anticipating shelter
from the homestead act. Very re- j
Gently I have had farmers to say to j
me, “If you don’t, give mo fifteen
cents for my cotton in payment of the ;
bacon you sold me, I won’t pay you; j
and if you sue me, I will take tho |
homestead.” And theso men are j
Grangeres! This is a sad commen
tary on farming, and is a valuable les
son to honest grangers and to mer- {
chants. They failed to raise provis-!
ions for their own use, begged the
merchant, to supply them on credit
and then refused to pay them; am! j
to drive a bargain, threatened the
merchant with the homestead act!:
Yon had bettor raise your own hog!
and hominy, ami thus avoid all this
unpleasantness.
Select your host land the coming
year, and reduce the number of acres
"to the horse. Concentrate your imt
nuro on theso reduced acres. This
will reduce the amount to pay for la
bor, food, team and tools; and by
strict personal attention, to business
you will make as much or more than
| you have been making by the unwise
I plan of trying to make large crops on
| poor lands with poor mules, worn out
tools and lazy laborers; and it will
not ruin you to food them with corn
and bacon bought on credit. It is
folly to plant forty aud fifty acres of
poor laud to tho horse, at Hitch a
groat outlay of money for labor, food,
team and tools; when, by a wise and
judicious selection of tho land aud
proper manuring, tho same quantity
of produco can bo raised oil one
fourth of tho laud.
Wliat is tho remedy for relief, in
the embarrassed condition of the
country? Planters must raise evory-
I thing they eat, and to supply the non
producers. To do this, they must
: increase tho grain crups— plant lieav
[ly of corn, oats, rve, wheat, ground
pens, chufas, sweet potatoes and su
' gar cane, and largely increase their
stock of hogs. If this is done, oot
i ton will have a small showing. Un
| dor no circumstances should more
than ono-third of the crop bo of cot
ton. This plan of planting may star
tle your creditors, but it is the last
and only hope of relief. Tho mer
chant must sue and acknowledge it to
be tho only and possible plan of per
manent relief, aud acquiesce in it, and
at once shape his affairs lo meet the
emergency ami give time to recuper
ate; and the planter should promptly
offer the best and safest security to
the merchant for this leniency and
extension. This security will greatly
benefit the merchant ; iu his negotia
tions, and enable him to go on with
his business. The aid must be mutu
al. This will work a hardship on
merchants, and possibly many will;
have to go into bankruptcy.
The ruinous policy of involving j
themselves every year to supply plant
ers with provisions to make large cot
ton crops will surely cuiliu bankrupt
cy. The postponement of it for a ■
short time will not alter the situation.
It is a stern necessity; and if a ma
jority of tho planters and merchants
are bankrupted by it, it will prove the;
best for the country iu tho end, and
be the means of saving a very large
number who will bo,drawn into the
malestroom of ruin. If this plan is j
adopted promptly, in two years plan ,
tors will be sellers of provisions as j
well as cotton. And then they will
have a sure and double income from
which to pay their creditors. In the
meantime, when it is known that such |
It lui.) 1:11telO ill Ci'ltOli
planting, it will enhance the value I
of cotton in accordance with the de
creased supply. This plan may cause ]
much distress and ruin, but no refor
mation lias ever been accomplished
that did not entail hardships and suf
fering upon tho laboring class. The
Revolutionary war caused a vitst i
amount of suffering to our forefath
ers, hut it brought liberty and doliv- ;
crauco to the country.
Not only a plan of raising supplies j
must be adopted, but the present sys- ]
tern of farming must be changed to •
meet tho change of circumstances, j
We still keep lip the old system of j
extensive planting as when wo owned j
the labor. Since the abolition of sla-1
very, times aud couditions'have ehang-!
ed, and these old habits and customs j
must lo changed t> moot the times.
The white man has always had to
think and diroct for tho negro, and it
cannot bo oxpanted that tho fow years
of freedom aud schooling of tUo negro
has qualified him to think nud act for
tho benefit of his raoo without tho ad
vice of timir l’ormor masters. And
yet with their known ignorauco, we
plant on shares with them, rout them
our farms, and turn over to them the
stock and tools to be mauagod by j
their dictation and judgment. The j
consequence is a failure in crops, j
death to the mules, destruction of the j
plantation tools, ruin to the fencing j
and farm and bankruptcy to the own- j
er. The. land is plowed into ditches ;
and gullies, and turned out to grow i
up in broom sedge and sapplings.
Everything is in a statu of diiapi- j
datiou and ruin, and wo continue to
involve ourselves by buying mules,
provision and tools to supply these
improvident, ignorant managers.
This cropping and renting system
must be abaiidonod,- and we must
take tho management of our own
plantations 1. iqk into our own hands,
aud must cm t down to hard work j
and rigid economy. They must kuow |
that he has to work out liis own sal-i
vatiou and look to his own efforts
for food and raiment, and the quicker !
he is thrown upon his own resources j
to supply his wants, the bettor it will
bo for him and the whites. We have
as much ns wo can do to keep up the
farms, stock and tools, and supply
our own families and oducate our
children, without the extra burden of
taking care of tho negro. lie must
learn to think, act aud supply him- ;
self.
At the same time, we must advise j
him and give him employment aud j
fair wages. \Yo are dependent one j
upon tho other. He has tho labor \
aud mqsclo, and wo tho land and j
capital; and wo must help each other,
and in such a manner as to have ini- j
pari.;,a justice to each; so that fair
compensation will be had in labor and ]
pay. Wo occupy the hiuiic land, and
must live together, and should there-j
fore, strive to live in peace and bar- j
mouy, aud labor ft a 1 each other’s
good- socially, morally, politically
aud temporally. _
This is emphatically the white man’s
country, aud it will not be surrender- i
oil to the i. e.ie. Ignorance will sub
mit to'.'V - v tehee." VYe must change,
u'.tr iub;„ to conform to '.bo times.
|Wo must labor ourselves. Not oik
! cent ought to ho expended for any la
! bor that can bo performed by our
. selves, our sons, our daughters, or
| wives. Our sons must put their hands
|to tho plow, and our wives and
daughters must come to our help.
Those are the leakages that Hink our
prosperity. It may seem a hardship
because wo are not raised to it; but
it will ovontually como to it, and it is
best to begin now, and cheerfully.
It is fur more honorable to toil new,
and thereby save tho old family home
stead, than to let tho sheriff sell it at
public outcry.
There is neither degradation or dis
| grace in honest labor; on the contra
; ry, it is honorable, ennobling, t'in
cinnattus was called from the plow to
save Rome. Gen. "Washington,
! Thomas Jefferson, Henry Clay and
Daniel Webster all labored on the
I farm. Are we more illustrious or
j eminent than they ? Mary, the uioth
!cr of our blessed Lord and Saviour,
j Jesus Christ, performed all the labor
:of tho household. Are our wives and
; daughters her superior:'. ? The sun,
j the great fountain of light and lif> i
. to a family of cireumvolvitig worlds—
! tho inexhaustible store of genial
warmth by which the countless beings
that people globes are sustained; the j
moon and tho stars- these rei-plend- 1
: cut globes which roll in silent majes
ty through measureless abysses of
. space are all the handiwork of God. "
|1 To that made these myriad worlds
thought it not ignoble to make the
trees of tho forest, tho flowers of the !
fields, the fowls (J" tho air, the fishes i
I of the sea, the beasts of the field, and i
man. And when lie looked upon all |
the work of his hands Ho pronoune-;
ed it good. It is no wonder that j
the Psalmist, in contemplating all this
work should exclaim: “O, Lord, our :
Lord, how excellent is Thy name!
jin all the earth !” And yet there are j
men and women who think them-!
selves competent to pronounce labor |
and, grading and ignoble. May lie
that condescended to make tbe ant i

dignity and nobility of labor.

| fFrom the Imp.toil Commercial ];ill. tin.]
A story is told of two well-known
merchants of this city, ono of whom
has quite a reputation as a connois
seur iu matters of taste. Dining at
tho other’s table, tho latter was par
ticularly requested to taste of a very
choice wine which the host sent him,
and give his opinion. The man of
the taste 'sipped the wine from tho
glass, sot it down and, resumed con
versation with his next neighbor at
tho board. The host, observing this,
took the first opportunity ofohul.eug
ing his guest for an opinion, with a
sly look at some of his friends as if
he was bound to show how falla
cious were judgments in wino-tast-1
iuff- . j
“Sav, my dear Beeswing, you don’t i
tell me what you think of the wine 1 j
sent you.” j
Beeswing looked at tho glass j
without raising it, aud quietly said,!
“No,”
“Well, now,” said the host, “I wish
you would really givo mo vour hon
est opinion of lUi w ; n „ ; Beeswing.” !
“Excuse me," said tho other, E- j
precatingly, “I’d rather not.”
By this time tho attention of the j
whole tublo was directed to the din- j
loguo. “But 1 insist,” urged the
host; “for you have such a reputation
for taste I want your opinion now,
and on this wine.”
"It will hardly bo courteous,” said
Beeswing, “to give an honest opin
ion of tiie '.vine while partaking of
the hospitalities of the host.”
“Certainly it will; out with it, j
Beeswing; wo are all friends here. ;
Spletidod article- eh ?”■
“Tho wiuo may bo good, but it is j
watered.”
“What!” said tho host, reddening |
to the roots of his hair at this unex- j
pected reply. “Watered. You're
mistaken; taste it again.” “Yes, wa
tered,” said Beeswing, taking anoth
er sip anu’oottiug his glass upon the ]
table.
“AVell, now, look hero, Beeswing,
my boy, for oueo in your life you are
mistaken, for my father brought two
casks of that ' lue aboard; it was un
loaded opposite his warehouse on
India wharf under his eye, and hoist
ed up into a left over his ow n coun
ting-room, where after a few niontW
ripening he had a man to como a'.C'i
bottle it up under his own supervis
ion; ho then sent it up to liis own
collar,which since his decease has
como into my possession, and his wax
seal on the bottle is that which is
broken to-night. So acknowledge,
my dear Beeswing, that you are mis
taken about it’s being watered wine.”
“Can’t acknowledge anything, of
tho kind,” said the obstinate Bees
wing, “for Imm inber your father’;
importation of tho wiuo very well.
Charley A'au ltlane, John Magnum
and myself wore your father’s clerks
at that time, and we bad ngood many
surreptitious drinks out of those
casks while tho liquor was ripening
in the ’o t, and always took care
whenever wo drew out anv, to turn
buck the same quantity if water, so
that the measure might not fall short.
You see I recognize an old acquaint
ance, if he is in reduced circumstan
ces.”
