QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Commmissioner Nesbitt’s In quiry Box For the Month. MUCH INFORMATION FURNISHED. Limp Aiul Othier Ingredients In Hardwootl "• , sml Wlutt. They Aro Worth—ll*w to .Iturn n Kiln of Limn to Be Umi] on the I'ixrnx a-.* n Fertiliser —Hardvrdiid 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. C. S. C. ELECTIOIT.
