He soon is at the ocean, And there meets many girls With bro vn and lilac optics, And black and golden curls. He takes them out a-riding. He takes them to the bops, And often in their honor Visits the candy-shops. With them he goes a-bathing Upon the shining stand, And then they sit and gossip Upon the shelly sand. He takes thorn to the ra,ees, And on t he horses bets, And writing not a letter, Fannie he forgets.

McWhirier, Commission¬ er of' Agriculture for Tennessee, be¬ fore the Montgomery county Agri cu tural Association, “Virginia stood as to-day in resources of nature, }’et a beautiful desert, with only spontan¬ eous crops growing upon her soil ; deer and turkeys her only cattle ; her waters simply a breeding place for fish, her lands without a market ; her ores and coal lying worthless be¬ neath the soil ; agriculture, manufac¬ ture and commerce were practically 'unknown. Two huudred and sixty years of agriculture have failed to produce the prosperity that sixty would have brought with a suitable combination of all the industrial arts. Naturally agriculture comes first, but other industries must folio v, or the rural art will stiuggie through a dwarfed existence. Virginia hereto* f re too exclusively to the idea of the dignity and independence of agricul ture. She has hitherto sought wealth in the soil, but is now finding it in the coal mine, the ores, the dense forests, the enduring waterfall, and a thousand other sources of pro¬ duction which are, in their utilization rounding into symmetry and giving volume and momentum to the grand whole of Virginia industry. Pennsylvania had a -lowe' - and later settlement. She has no sea coast, and is almost destitute of na¬ tural water ways and great aqueous basins for food fish supplies. But Pennsylvania acted wisely and promptly on the true theory of in¬ dustrial development, that it should be various and symmetrical, furnish¬ ing lucrative employment for male and remale, old and young, in doors and in the open air, unskilled and rough, as well as nicely adjusted to the peculiar taste and finer aptitude of the delicate and refined who are suffering for something to do. More than half the people of Vir giaia are farmers ; only one in five of the Pennsylvanians are engaged in agriculture. Does the greater ntirn ker of the former State make a de rnand for land and a higher price by reason of the competition ? No ; the competition is between one farmer and another in the sale of produce for which there is no near home market; and the cheapening of products also cheapens the acres on which they are orown So Virginia farm lands are valued at $10.80 per acre, while those ct Pennsylvania command $49.30, cording to the census ol 1880, which also shows that the average farm worker of Virginia produces crops worth °. $180, while the Pennsylvania ‘gr cu.t 1 z 3 U U . Why w this? Because of the other four months seeking to be filled and credifed for the supply Tennessee is with twenty million acres "'“*• , , J- , E? “CC *.<> iusttwo CONYERS, ROCKDALE CO., GA., AUGUST 15, 1834 whose value to-day is over six him dred and thirl v five millions. Texas with , her , thirty-six millions of , acres only 1 reaches 1 a valuation , of one hun— dred and seventy iniliions. The States of Georgia. North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, pi and Arkansas have anave. ftgeof seventy-seven per cent, of their pop ulatiou engaged in agriculture, and their iaarm workers receive but one hundred and sixty dollars average per capita and the value of their lands is depreciated accordingly. In the State of New Yotk, where culture and industry go hand In hand her twenty-three million acres ol farm laml are vamed at more than one billion of dollars. What a revela¬ tion this is. Let it not be lost upon us. We must encourage every branch of in¬ dustry. We must invite skilled la ber among ns to open up and develop our resources. We must expand the scope of our agricultural policy and throw into it the great industrial ele¬ ment which will bring us population and give us wealth.” Killing Cotton Worms. It is now, we believe, says the Greenville (Ala.) Advocate, a con¬ ceded fact that the cotton worm will make and havoc with the weed this year. Already they have appeared in many fields, and in some in suffi¬ cient numbers to let their work be plainly seen. Every one will admit that the cotton crop is from two to four weeks late, caused by the late cold spring; and it is also known that the worms have appeared in many localities earlier than ever known before. Now the questions arises, can the pests be successfully destroyed -without too great an ex¬ pense ? Some years ago many farmers in this section tried to poison them with Paris green, but it was found that through ignorance in the application, or from some other cause, as much havoc was done to the weed as if left to the worms; so it was abandoned. It is onr opinion that they can be de¬ stroyed by poison properly applied and we have heard of its being done without material damage to the grow ing crop, especially in the black lands of Dallas county, and if it can be done there surely it can be accom¬ plished here or anywhere else. In a late issue of the Montgomery Advertiser we find the following on this subject. Here is a man who has already this season made the success¬ ful experiment. Would it not be well for the farmers of this section to take time by the forelock and make the same experiment ? We believe they would save their crops by doing so now. We will wager our wealth that the worms will not destroy Mr. Cloud’s cotton. Here is the article: “Mr. N. B. Cloud is cultivating what is known as the old race track in the eastern part of the city, which had laid out about thirty years until he concluded to test what could be done with it this year. It is about one mile and a quarter from the city, 011 the Line Creek road. The pesti ferous worms made their appearance j n his cotton, and more than one per son w ho saw the field predicted that they would strip the cotton stalks entirely by the close of the week lin¬ less checked in their operations. Mr. Cloud procured a supply of Paris green and used a mixture of one pound of the poison to forty gallons of water, and applied it to the cotton with a whisp broom, made of broom corn. He sprinkled it on Wednes day and Thursday, and on a close examination of the cotton yesterday discovered that the worms had all been killed. Several persons who saw the cotton after the worms were dead pronounced it the best job in the way of worm poisoning they had I ever seen. The poison as he applied ! it did not affect the cotton at all. ; Last year Mr. « Plnud Cloud uued used the the sprins snrink pot ordinarily used for I ing worms, and noticed that the ef feet was to scald the cotton, which SSl was owing to the fact that bv this h .at.-, M «n satisfied that ii the poison is applied in the proportion and way that he used it this week. it will snreiv kill tne worm-without injur soft the col ton. One matt, lie says, can easily .pply the poison to four acres a At present this field of cotton prom Lies to yield about one bale to the acre, should no disaster occur; and the result show’s further what tnay be accomplished on old land bv the judicious use of suitable fertilizers.” —i-----:------• Deep Pl°wln£and Moisture. The question is often asked : ‘How rincg deei.Kph-wmg make the mMster?’ 1 believe it is an rented f ac t t,] ia t; wherever warm sir counts in j contact with a body cooler then it-; self the water in it condenses drops. On a warm day we see It, of ten on the outside of a pitcher of cold water. Fogs atio dews are made in that way, and our rain, most of it, coming up from the gulf in those heavy currents of warm air that we frequently have. When we pulverize the soil deep, the warm air, which is full of moisture, penetrates down and through it, and the ground being cooler thau the air, condenses the water iuto drops, which answers in place of rain ; so the deeper and more ue pulverize it the more mois¬ ture ii will collect from the air. Not only t:at, but as warm air is rich in food for plants it serves in place of manure, too. Thirty years ago there was a terri¬ ble drouth in the East. Professor iVlapes, a large m-rket gardener, h id his ground underdrained and sub soiled, and his crops, where he could, were cultivated with a subsoil plow. A committee went to see bis place alter nine weeks ol drouth, and it found everything us flourishing as if there had. been plenty of rain. His ■i'OI'li (it was the 3rd of September) was estimated at ninety bushels to the acre, while on land cultivated in the usual wav, near by, it was all burnt up. While I Jo not think deep plowing^ is everything, st.dl I think de"p and thorough pulverizing of our laud will lesson the effects 01 a drouth.—Kansas Farmer. wtwww .rw August Chickens. While it is us a rule best to have the larger portion of the chicks hatched out early in the spring, ibi various reasons it is an advantage fcr have eoniH hatched out in August. Hatched in this season of the year tbev grow very rapid, and as it is a season when the flies and bugs are numerous, it, does not cost as much to raise a chick as it does early in the spring, and the weather Ix-ng warm a very much larger proportion of them live than when hatched early in the season. An August chick will usually begin Ho||av in Febiuarv, which is at a time when the pullets from early chicks begin to set, and for a month or two will furnish a full supply of eggo Thus the August chicks will supply eggs when other¬ wise there would be a deficiency, and when they begin to set tits pullets from early chicks will again begin to lav. Thus by having early and late chicks, the supply of eggs, dur ing the winter and spring, will be more uniform than if only early chicks are hatched out. Another ad¬ vantage of August chicks, it will very much lengthen out the season forchickens of the right age lor the table. The roosters will eat w<*ll un til spring, and if there should be a surplus to sell there w,!l always be a ready market lor them at a high Pno®* . .
