In our Indian corn. wheat, rye and oat crops,
abundant provisions are within the reach of
every planter in the whole cotton country.
And to say nothing of the comparative
cheapness ofhome supplies, they are doubly
valuable, inasmuch ac they secure to the til
Ter of the soil that high sense of personal
independence, certainly among the greatest
of earthly tclcitics. This love of personal
independence is an essential element of Am
erican char"ctcr-it is that which gives 1t
high and honorable distinction, when COM
pared with other nations, and which, if duly
and wisely nourishcd, will carry u to an
elevation Of rank and power unknown to the
history of any other people.
The insane practice of making cotton to
buy provisions for plnntat,n and domestic
use, is abundantly shown in the comparative
thrift and comfort of those planters who
raise their own supplies ut home. There is
scarcely plantation of any size or quality
III the cotton growing states, on which three
to ten acres of well prepared land will not
produce wheat enough for family use-not
mctchdn'06Ie flour, as it is called, mixed with
b"Itcd corn meal and other poor ingredients
but sound, fresh and sweet article, out of
which our housewives can have manuf ctur-
ed the real "staif of life" But insolrnce
and ignorance have brought many to the con-
cIusion that the climate of Georgia and Ala
b"ma are not so pTopil0us to the growth of
wheat us the higher lattitudes of Virginia
and Pennsylvania. Not word of truth in
this.
Every tolerably well informed person
knows that the shores of the Mediterranean,
10th European and African, where the eli
mate is much warmer than in these States,
produce as fine wheat crops us any part of
the earth; and that the -four in containing
more of gluten than Northern wheat, makes
Il richer and more nutritious bread. Ifwheat
had half AZ strong hold on our affections
as cotton, it would be produced in great
quantlilos for expectation. Sown in Sept
or Octobcr "n soil in good filth, it is quite
as certain crop in any part of Southwest
crn Georgia. as Indian corn, and produced at
less than Onc-third of the cost On upland
ofsccond quality my usual crop enables me
to sell little corn, fodder, oats, wheat,
Pork-and four or five bales of cotton per
hand, thus making my practice correspond
with my prcccpts.
