to be good enough to produce it, aud where
not, in oats or rye. tn consequences OF the
great poverty Of the soil, rye was generally
preferred, as oats would no! grow high
enough to be cut Ny aim, from the first,
was 10 clover aud plaster all over Tie land
, in small grain but, from Tue psuciiy Of my
means, much could not be done in that way
. for several years. Experience soon taught
me that one fourth Of my ilud would not
produce enough 10 support my Emily OF
ten or twelve m number. And that the
better way would be 10 resort to ring fence /:
aud cultivate the aai laud and such places
as required cleaning up, while was ma.

same lime they absorb and retain the h.
quld manure, which otherwise you'd be

The present condition Of my farm will
tell whether az efforts have been 10 vain.

The State of North Carolina abounds in

valuable treasures, are al present unknown.

is welas Marble, Limes,enes, Mlll-stoues,
Grind-stones, Whet.stones, Coal and nu-
tDercus other useful fossils, now hidden
and buried III the mineral region of our
State, | propose that there shall be pub
lie meeting hold 10 each Of The Western
Counties ia North Carolina, TO adopt tho
best practicable plan TO collect, deposile,
arrange, and keep at the Court House Of
each County, curious specimens, and val
liable species from all mines, minerals,
quarries or banks, which are or may be
found IN each County, with the name of
the person presenting il. and the place
whore found, inscribed on il, or piece Of
paper attached thereto; or number the
specimen, and register that number, and
tie name Of the person presenting it, and
the place where found, in book kept for
tha; purpose. Then each distinct mineral
substance, would have fixed location,
habitation and a name annexed, and its
qualities may be Analysed and ascertained
By those who have the most practical
knowledge, and are best acquainted with
the Arts and Sciences.
Such Cabinet of Minerals collected

valuable resources, and The rich hidden
Treasures Of North Carolina.
Let each county form an Association TO
collect, consider, and discuss the peculiar
properties Of different metals ; and inyesti-
gate and ascertain the distinguishing tea.
lures and indications Of each mineral sub
stance. In that way, heads would work
as wei as hands for the good of mankind,
ond diflse practical knowledge among
tho miners and the people.
A State cabinet Of Minerals might and

eigh, under the direction and guidance of
some scientific and practical Miner alogist,
who should be authorized by the LegisIa-
ture 20 makesa careful and accurate Sur
ycy and Report Of the Geology and Min
cralogy of this State.
When North Carolinians shall make
themselves thoroughly acquainted with all
the valuable resources and ~.-i. -

appreciate their natural advantages, and
be utterly as,onshed how little they know
ofthe most important interests Of this great
Commonwealth.
