Interestingly.
VVa clip the following from the Ma
cou Telegraph :
GrilFui,Oct. 12— Mr.W. VV. Amis, a
Heurv county planter, who has the rep
utatiou of making a liviug at home and
from 200 to 300 bales of cotton hs a
surplus crop, was iu the city today aud
talked interestingly aud sensibly of the
crop condition. He is never on extre
mist, and is rather an optimist, who
gladly looks upon the bright side of
everything. His plantations are noted
for being well kept aud well tended, and
his farm house is as flue as a city resi
dence, while bis barns and outhouses
are in keeping with it. lie makes no
pretention to what is generally kuowu
as style, yet tin style iu which he lives
is simple elegauce.
In speaking of the prici of cotton
be seemed to agree that the highest
point bad not yet been reached, but
thought that eveu with the short crop
the farmers were in a better condition
than they had been iu for years, as
their expenses had been less aud the
trouble in marketing decreased.
“The receut rains,” said Mr. Amis,
“have caused the cotton to sprout in
the fields, but to no great extent, and
the buideu of the damage lies in the
fact that it delayed them in gathering
the crop iu time to prepare their land
for sowing grain. Two years ago we
had so much r*in about this time tf
year that it was almost impossible to
sow wheat or oats, and the result was
that many farmers could uot get iu a
Lall crop. Last year we did better,
aud the result is that the farmers have
generally been easier this year than
ever before in ten years. They have
sent their own wheat to the mill aud
ate their owu Hour, aud their stock at
test the fact that they have had pleuty
to eat. The farmer is not the fool that
he is generally held up to be, but is a
little backward about takiug advice.
When he has a thing demonstrated to
him, he believes it, and will follow it
until he finds something better. He
is not of the experimental class and is
very hard to get out of a rut uuless he
is priz d out by facts aud not argument.
The Macon Telegraph builded better
than it knew when it started the wheat
planting movement in Georgia, and it
has taught the farmers a lesson that
they will not soon forget, aud it was a
profitable one.
“Our corn crop,” continued Mr.
Amis, "is almost a failure, and I veu
tur9 the assertionHhat in this section a
half crop will not be made, and mauy
farmers will have to buy corn who have
never bought before. 1 am afraid
that 1 will have to buy corn this
