Would you. not like to see some
Florida weather about now? The
truck fanners in the vicinity of
Wildwood Fla., are now planting
tomatoes beans, encumbers, squash
and melons extensively. Many to

Unless a frost cuts them off, water
melons are expected to bo ripe by
the middlo of April. The cabbage
outlook is fine and thousands of
nice plants are growing off.
Tho melon growers held a meet
ing at Valdosta and the sense of
the meeting was that not
more than 20 per cent of
the acreage of last year should be
planted as the rate of freight
would not authorize.a larger crop.
While they thus expressed them,

Mn. Editor:
Mr. Turner’s analysis of Geor
gia’s big farming, or what one
hundred farmers in Georgia have
done, is something that should re
quire the serious consideration of
every thoughtful fanner in the
State. We see by reading over
these reports that better results
were obtained fremtbeuse of 400
pounds of guano than from the
use of 2,ooopounds. Now is it not
demolish adve m any reasonable
mind that there is such a flung as
giving our land too much guano,
is it not true that at sometime our
system requires strong medicine
and at others it would be i qurlous
to our health. Now if this be a
fact, which it certainly is—is it not
equally true that our soil, with an
application of 400 pounds of guano
under some circumstances, would
produce big crops, when 2,000
pounds, under sinnliiu* ciicum
slances, would not pay as big per
lent, on the amount of guano ap
plied. Now the question that pre
sents itself to the thoughtful fann
er, is what amount of guano shall
1 apply in order to receive the best
results from its use? This, 1 think
every observing farmer should use
bis own judgement, and not that
of others, as he ceviaiuly under
stands the character of his soil —
the preparation and cultivation if
is to receive, which is a question of
great importance when we begin to
fertilize and farm on tho intensive
system.
’ I believe our most barren soils
can be made to produce big crops
if we only knew what elements to
apply to restore there fertility, but
don’t belive that we should he led
away by these enormous reports,
andapply several hundred pounds
of guano per acre on our old fields
—when our better sense teaches us
that it requires something move
than 888 pounds of guano per ac e
to produce two bales of cotton. We
should supply the deficient ele
ments from our farm, all except
potash and sulphuric acid —this we
have to buy, but should he careful
not to pay for 488 pounds that
would not be taken up hv the crop,
and therefore be leached out before
the next crop is planted. It is a
mistaken idea with a great many
farmers that a heavy application of
guano isf beneficial to .heir soil —
that its improved condition is ob
tained by its use. You should not
credit this to the gar no alone, but
to the excessivc'cropsjt hat are grown
on the land. Remember that fifty
per Cent, of the fertilizing proper
ties is absorbed by the plants from
the air, and returned back to the
soil when the plants and routs de
cay, thereby you enrich your soil
by leg crop*/ and through cultiva
tion’ and not by heavy atqdieai 'ons
of gnano. If we intend to make
one fhi usand pounds of lint cotton
po acre this year, we must first
find out what fertilizing properties,
and what per cent, of each is con
tained in the two hundred pounds,
1 hen it would be an easy matter to
tell what would he required to pro
duce one thousand pounds w’tfi in
created tillage in proportion. The
same rule will answer for other
crops. Here is the secret of farm
ing. It is labor that eats up the
profits on tlie farm. It is labor
that exhausts the treasury, that
forces the mortgage on the farm,
or the lien on the yet unplanted
crop, and that gives the farmer
anxiety. Now it is plain that the
profifs must incrcasejustin propor
tion as the cost in labor is reduced
without reducing the crop.
The fewer acres to produce a halo
of cotton, the less there is of labor
to charge up against it. Now hi
im seventy-five farmers that pro
duce two bales of cotton per acre,
while the average farmer cultivates
seven to produce the same.* In the
first case one rich acre is manured
and cultivated on the intensive sys
tem to get two bales, in the other
seven acres are prepared (I will say
on the fogy system), and no more
cotton made than on the one acre.
Can it he doubted which plan w ill
make tho farmer lich, and which
will make him poor.
Butwc shall bo called upon to
study economy in many other
places. I will go hack to labor.
There is no question that two much
labor is employed on our farms,
too many to feed and clothe from
the profits obtained. Land may
ho so poor that the crop it makes
will not pay for the cultivating and
gather ing, and yet there are hun
dreds and thousands of acres of
just such land cultivated by us
every year. The realization of this
fact nas h'ought about so large ;
consumption of commercial fe.tili
zers. It is a question between la
bor and manure. If a farmer has
a certain amount of credit to he
advanced on his crop, how much
for labor and how much for ma
nure, is the question—and a very
nice one indeed, one that requires
sound judgement. To get the mat
ter properly adjusted lest suppose
a case. If two hands can cultivate
twenty-five ae-cs under our pres
ent system of farming, and make
six bundled and fifty pounds of
Seed cotton per acre, ana four hun
dred pounds of fertilizer per acre
with other elements required will
increase the yield to one thousand
pounds oflint per acre, wouldn’t
it be economy to discharge one of
the Tuiocls and invest {parte of his
wages in inr.nu e to enrich five
aces, thereby making the five pro
duce as much as the twenty-five.
If this is not economy, what is?

Fertilizer Drummers.
Du Jog the past two weeks man
ufactures of commercial fertilizers
or theiv representatives, have kept
the dealers in such goods a
constant audience. If we mistake
not, we have never seen such an ef
fort to sell these goods. For in
stance, we dropped into the office
of one ofour warehouse firms fast
week, and such a sigh of relief
we have not heard for sometime.
In the way of explanation, the gen
tlemen said: “We have just had
six guano dealers on us, all at one
time, u ging 11s to purchase. We
told them that we had bought all
we desired, and yet their begging
was continued.”
The guano trade in the past few
years lias been put on a very differ
ent schedule to what it was very
soon, after the war. Then agents
in the different towns sold it on
commission for the manufacturers.
Now the dealers purchase it direct
from the manufacturer, and sell it
to the fanner. Some pay cash di
rect for ii, while others purchase on
time and give notes for it, payable
in the fab. The farmer would be a
little surprised to see some of these
notes, since they provide that the
money collected for the guanos can
not be appropriated to any purpose
till the guano notes had been li
quidat'd. A dealer failing cannot
put the notes in as a part of his as
sets. In short, the guano is a sort
of consignment until the manufae-
turer has been paid. It is now
thought that not so much guano
will be sohl this season as hereto
fore. Deale s will not push the
sales, for good reasons, and hence
the push and begging on the part
of manufacturers. The drumming
for purchasers in this line of goods,
which produces an unnecessary
cost to the farmer, is as complete
as in any oilier branch of trade.
The farmer yet pays largely for a
temporary’ stimulant to his lands.
No labor should be spared to make
all the manure on the farm possi
ble. There is something lasting in
such feed to our lands.

Thr-ifiy vs. Shiftless Farmers.
We have a good many farmers
here who pay strict attention to their
farms—such are generally success
ful—hut we have still a larger num
ber of loose farmers who say fa •m
--t ing is the poorest business in the
world, and so it is on their plan,
; such as planting twice as much as
I they will tend, instead of enrich
ing a small farm and planing and
working it in time and making as
much with ha'f the labo* ns they
would on twice that much poor
land. Few of our farmers save all
they make. They have so much
ground to go over gathering “ uib
bings,” so many goobcrg ’ound to
bacco plants to cut, so much poor
land to sow in wheat, they haven’t
time, they say, or money to hire
help. Many put off digging pota
toes until it sets in wet and they
all rot, when they could dig one
bushel, if by moonlight, sell them,
and hire a hand to dig all day,
rather than lose ah. Few of our
farmers save all their dry food.
When they sell their tobacco they
have to spend part of that in buy
ing, and lose tunc hauling. They
also make a mistake by not pvori
i ding good shelter and keeping their
farm-yards well littered for stock,
which would save food and he
more comfo! fable for the animals.
It is nice at this season of the year
for each farmer’s family to have a
nice beef to feast on, and by judi
cious management it can always he
had. I sincerely wish that every
fanner would raise his boys to tala 1
an interest in the care of stock, so
that w I'cn fh own on their own e
sou oes they wiU be interested in
such tilings. Our successful fa int
ers house their tools, keep the bri
ars out of the corners of their fen
ces, keep their fences in good re
pair—so stock cannot dc-ivoy
what they have made, a id so their
own stock will not lev 11 to be mis
chievous. Each fa mer should
bear in mind that lob'pg things go
to w vek about bis premises ga'ns
neither wealth nor reputation.

Apprenticeship, in its old form,
being dead, a Providence man —
Mr. ( ’hades Fletcher of the Provi
dence worsted mills —has been ex
perimenting on anew system,which
no has adopted aAer a two years
trial, and his plan may lie of inter
est elsewhere. He engages a boy
for throe years. The first year he
pays him $3 a week, and at the end
of u year, though careful to come
under no obligation to do so, gives
the boy, if he has been faithful and
use "id, a purse of SSO. It is an in
centive to the boy to do his best.
The second year the boy is paid $5
a week, with the same prize to work
10 work for. Tho third year be gets
$6 and has the same chance for
another SSO. After that he is put
on a regular job if deserving, given
another years trial or allowed to go
elsewhere.
Cow manure is to be valued by
the food consutned, and not by the
nature of the animal. When cows
are well fed, fhe manure is richer,
as ajniaitet of course, than when
cows are fed on straw, but manure
made from clover, hay, bran, and
oil cake mealis worth very mini fy
as the food is in money. A. cord
of cow manure weighs from tb'-cc t o
three and one-half tons, anil if the
cows are well fed may easily bo
worth $7 to $lO. But again, the
value of manure varies with the
value of land, which depends upon
the nearness of marke.s and the
prices of produce, and this must he
taken into account.
When a farmer sells and ships
grain from his fa m lie parts with
a most valuable element of his soil.
The mineral matter and the nnro
gen in it are lost to him. When he
feeds his grain at home he keeps
nearly all of these invaluable ele
ments of fertility on his own fields,
andean go on cultivating his land
without loss and exhaustion indefi-
I nitelv and leave the land unimpah e 1
I as a heritage for bis children.
An experienced farmer says:
Deep culture is of more importance
: in growing a grass crop than one of
grain. This proposed treatment
lof improving land for grass means
almost a revolution, so much has
! this part of fanning been neglect -
i ed.
The United States has started a

awakened competion in every quar
ter. Beef is now exported from
South America, Australia, and last
ly from Russia.
Trade in all hues is dull on the
i Pacific slope. The farmer, the ini
j nor, all classes are affected by the
I stagnation.
