Our COUNTY FINANCES. s.-The state
ment of the financial condition Of our
county appears in to-day's paper, and
exhibits healthy state Of affairs. I'm
der the able management of the pres
eut County Board, our County Orders,
by another year, will be as good as
currtn:y. We congratulate the tax
payers in having so economical a Board
Of Supervisors.
This statement is published to com
ply with the following section in the
Revised Statutes, on page 1853:
The several Boards of Supervisors
shall cause to be made out and publish
ed yearly, immediately after their an
nual meeting, in at least one ncwSpa-
per published in their county, if such
there be, 4 report OF the receipts and
expenditures Of the year next preccd-
INC, a}td the accounts 0il0lced."
1t will be seen that they have not
done it. The statement is therefore in
complete, and does not meet the re-
quircments OF the law. Win not such
neglect, unless corrected, affect the va
lidity Of tax-sales?

GENT1,EMEN think you would materially aid the
cause of the South if you would urge upon every
the necessity of increasing the production of forage
the South. President Davis has suggested mode by
which the quantity of that indispensable article can be
greatly augmented viz by sOrcing Corn broadcast.-
There are many advantages to be derived from that
mode and among them will mention the great yield
to the acre. and that after the Irish Potaoe crop
taken off, (Which will be in JULY the land can be
"broken up fush" and the Corn sowed, and narrowed
or plowed in. 1t will hasten the growth OF the Corn
ten or twelve days by soaking the seed in water
twentytour thrty-six hours When the crop is su-
hcenty matured it is to be cut and shocked Wheat
or Oats, to cure and then housed or stocked.
You will discover by reference to the census that the
Yankee hay crop estimated as of greater value than
the cotton crop of the South but you must remember
mat they consume the most of that and all that they
have sold has been to the South consequence of our
people negecting so important element of subsis-
tenee This suggestion not intended to be confined
to large farmers and planters but every one who owns
"patch or garden should try to add to the com
mon stock FARMER.
