cltirtt For Vounjx Fruit Trees, Flo,
sustios I.—l have abundance of
own umt ino -.t to make a obca’i cotton
CKip. Wt.uld yon advise me to increase
.my aere.i-n of cotton? Yes or no, and
: give von.- reasons.
Answmu i.—My candid opinion of
any man that wants to increase his'
acreage of a t toil at this time is, that ho
is very detl-Wnt In business judgment.
Too lunch cotton was plunted in tho
south lust yoar, ami had tho seasons
lorn suitable, the crop .would have
reached 8,500,000 or 9*000,000 bale aud
6 rents would have be-u the rnling
f price for it. There is a disposition
aiiiWK individual farmors to increase
their acreugo iu cotton i tho gretiud
I hat there will boa reduced acreaije
ulaiitod and they will benefit by it. My
friend, this theory oarried out by all
• the tanners—aud very many of them
eiitoi talu it, would result iu tho largest
crop and the lowest price iu the past
80 years. Contrast the condition of the
Atuto at this time with its condition a
year ago. Note how much bettor con
touted and happier the farmers uro, and
remember t-lmt the change wus brought
a’Hiut by reducing the cottou acreage,
amt increasing the acreage of all food
crops, re.-nltiug in a fair prico for cot
ton, and bountiful provision crops of all
kinds. If wo are to continue on this
road to prosperity, abundance and hap
piness, we must still reduce tho cottou
! acreage, ami inennate that of tho provi
sion crops. If yon want to return to
S coat cotton, scarce corn, debt, dan
gor and destruction financially, the
: surest and quickest way is to increase
the cotton acreage, and U months or
less will suffloe to put you there.
There hue never boon a time iu the
history of cotton culture, wheu a small
acreage was so essential to tho prosper-
and both can fcs had by reducing, not
by ihcraising the acreage in cotton.
Imagine if you can, onr condition next
fall with a 10,000,000 bole crop made,
ooru and moat scarce, and a war with
England on onr haudsl Your entire
ootton crop would not probably, iu such
a cnee, pay your guano bill*. On the
other hand, imagine our country over,
flowing with provision* of all kinds,
with a 7,000,000 bale crop of ootton
nmdo; thou war or no war, wo could
got along first rato, and in the event
that tho world was at poaoe, our ootton
would certainly bring 10 conts a pound.
No farmer need flatter himself that h
can steal a march on his neighbors by
pln-iHng a big crop of cotton, while
everyone elso rodmjes thoir acreage. If
it is in yonr mind to do this, you can
rest ussnrod that it is in tho minds of
thousands of others to do the same
thing. Consequently, to attain the de
sired result, each man must do what he
knows to be right in the premises, and
the outcome will then be assured pros
perity for himself and the state.
Question a,—Would you advise one
who is jnst beginning, to farm ou tho in
tensive plan or in tho manner usually
practiced ? Which would be the most
profitable nnd satisfactory?
Answer 2.—This snbjoct has been so
fully discussed in tho agricultural pa
pers that every farmer should bo famil
iar with it. As yet, however, very few
work t heir land ou the intensive sys
tem, though obligod to admit that theory
and practice are both in its favor. By
intensive farming is simply meant bet
ter preparation of tho soil, heavier fer
tilizing aud faster working of tho crop
when up. *T'hoie is no question what
ever, and absolutely no doubt, that if
yon will subsoil ton acres of land, put
upon it tho lflauure that you would or
dinarily put upon 20 acres, aud culti
vate tho crop twice as often os you would
the 20 acres, theu tho ten acres bo
treated will produce as much as the 20
acres, as osnally prepared and culti
vated. The above statement is au ax
iom that does not admit of dispute, and
vou and every other farmer iu the state
can demonstrate the fact for yourselves,
If you are afraid to test it on a large
scale, try it on two or three acres in any
crop you please and I venture you will
then be convinced. If theu you admit
that my statemout is correct, the ad
vantages of the intensive system will
at once present themselves to you. You
can leave out half the land you have
been cultivating, letting it rest, or you
can put it in oats to be followed by peas,
thus getting it in good shape for an
other year. Yon wili bo rid of half the
labor of hoeing, and you will be im
proving your land year by year, instead
of wearing it out. These would be the
advantages gained by the intensive sys
tem of farm’ '-, and it seem* to me
um
• uc Hollar SStr Vwt,
tti y arc suffi, imt ’o induce ver v
fannei to try tl.e plan. The profit
u> and satisfaction of such farming
would naturally follow ffom the
a<i villages gained over the ordinary
system pursued.
As you are a beginner,take my ad
vice, avoid the old ruts, ami commence
your farm life aright, keeping abreast
with all the improvements, flint mod
ern thought and science and experi
ments have developed, nnd my word for
it, you will find the occupation of fann
ing not only healthful nnd attractive
but profitable as well. Tho old order Of
things has pits sod away.. It is no longer
possible to take a few or ops from a faryt
of virgin Soil, nnd thou leaviug it
scarred und eroded and almost ruined;
move further west to repeat the same
process ou other soil. It is odr interest;
therefore, to improve and not wear out
our farms, and this can best be done by
adoptiug improvements in preparing
our land aud cultivating our crops, iu
other words, by intensive farming.
There are millions of acres,, iu tho old
countries of Europe, tlrat after hun
dreds of years of cultivation, are better
today than when the original forest
vrowth was first cut cut from thepj,
while iu this new country it Wouid be
difficult to find many acres of farm land'
as good as when first cloared, while mil
lions of acres liavo been rendered almost
worthless by cureless cultivation. Let
us not forget that our descendants mast
look for u supp >rt to the same lands
that we are now cultivating, and that
therefore it is our duty, aud should bo
our pleasure, to preserve and improve
them. This cannot bo douo by the old
plan of shallow plowiug over a large
area, putting the soil iu tho best possible
condition to be washed away by every
heavy rain, but it can be done and with
profit to ourselves by tho intensive plan
of farming.
THE POSSIBILITIES OF OUIi SOIL.
But few of our farmer.! aro aware of
the nn'.nmiHQ productiveness of tho soil
when thoroughly prepared, highly fer
tilised and well worked. To encourage
aud stimulate intensive farming, the
Weekly Atlanta Constitution last spring
offered a premium of *IOO nu acre for
tho best results from an acre each (4
corn, ootton, swoet potatoes, watert
, melons ami tobacco. Tho following
eredat an expense of *58.30.
For the best acre of corn: Mr. Q, B.
Cranshaw of Newborn, Ga., for
bushels, raised at au expense of *8.70.
For the best acre of watermelons: Mr.
V. Green oft Wolf City, Tex., raised
1,198 lnrgo melons at a cost of *60.90.
For the best acre of tobacco! iff. J*
B. DeJaruette of South Fork, Ark., for
1,062 pounds of flue tobacco, raised at
au expense of *13.25.
For the best acre of sweet potatoes:
Mr. W. 8. Dill of Sandy Flat, 8. 0.,
520){ bushols, raised at an expeua* of
*24.80.
There wore some 30 or 40 contestant*,
all of whom made excellent crops, but
those nbovo mentioned were the bejjt.
Now, in view oft such resu'.ts as these,
why will farmers persist iu cultivating
12 to 10 acres to make five bales of oat
ton, when the same amount can he
made ou two, or certainly throo acres of
laud, with much less labor, too, in the
hot summer wenther. If Mr. Dill of
Bandy Flat, 8. 0., can moke 629%
bushels of potatoes, theu I am sure auy
good farmer in Georgia can niako some
where in that neighborhood. Let ns
aim to diminish the number of aerpe
that we cultivate, but at the same time
Increase oar orops.
This oan only be done by thorongh
preparation of the land and judicious
manuring, Combined with good cultiva
tion after the orops are np. Lot ns no*
strive to put in a large acreage to tfie
plow, but confine onr efforts to a smaller
acreage, better prepared, better fertilised
and better cultivated.
By this course, while onr crops will
be increased, the cost of making them
will be diminished, aud we will have
more land to devote to pasturage and
the raising of stock. It should be tfie
aim of every farmer to so manage his
laud, that yoar by year ita fertility
would be increased and not diminished
as is usually tho case.
