The Planting Diversity Of

The Planting Prospect Diversity Of
Crops.
The Montgomery Advertiser has some
remarks in regard to the planting pros
peet which are equally applicable to
Tennessee as Alabama The papers
contain notices o. emigrants moving by
the wholesale to Texas and the Western
States. The demon Of change has GER
tainly established himself in the South,
and in a few years the population Of the
older Southern States, and especially the
less productive portions Of them, if the
present rate Of emigration be kept up,
will be greatly diminished. The negro,
who is the main laborer, partakes largely
& the moving fever, and after the embar-
RAISING and unfortunate results Of last
years planting experience, says the
AdreHser, the farmers cannot rely upon
the amount Of help required Indeed, it
is the part Of wisdom 20 change somewhat
the system heretofore adopted, and to
devote more land to raising the necessa-
ries Of life Cotton should by al means
be cultivated, but not so much 10 the
exclusion of other things, as has enthe
policy Of Southerners. They are prepar-
ing with as much energy, but hardly with
as much hope, to carry on the year
work And whyy Because the supply
of provisions is scarce. money scarcer,
and the chance Cor loans and accommoda.
tons worse than ever Very few planters
have realized one-fourth their eXpecta-
tons Little or no grain was planted,
and a large amount Of money obtained
from the sale Of what little cotton was
made has to be used for the purchase Of
bacon and corn Can any country long
prosper under such n drain If as
heretofore, the planters sit down and
make no arrangements for supplying
everything they need, the result Of this
years labor may be 10 complete the dis
astcrs Of the last
Now, is certainly the time to try va
riety Of crops, and 10 use as much as
possible, white labor Every city has a
number Of young men who aock to them
in the vain hope Of getting something to
do but failing, do not return to the coun-
try They can DO more good for them
selves and the country by turning their
thoughts and deyo6ng their energies to
the cultivation Of the soil IL more
grasses and grains were sown, the rich
lands would yield more, and with much
less labor stock would be more abund
ant, and much more easily subsisted The
cost Of buying and transporting imme nse
stocks Of provisions 30 plantations would
be saved and even If the cotton crop
failed, the cry of hunger would not be
heard in the land Begin this year to
have "a greater variety Of crops and you
lay the foundations for a greatand varied
industry, and make this country more de-
sirable to immigrants Few here feel
any hostility to the negro On the con-
trary feeling Of attachment exists in
many instances that time will never res
move. They have acted well under al
the circumstances, but it cannot be dis
guised that they are more uncertain and
unreliable now than formerly, and while
willing to employ them as laborers, other
sources must be looked 10 for the future,
to supply the deficiency which is daily
being created.
