A travelling correspondent Of the Greenville
Enterprise writes Of the crops above and
around Newberry: The crops Of cotton and
corn on the route generally. and in this neigh
oorhood, look well. There is, however, q Sec
ton below Ninety Six, and extending into New
berry, where dry weather has very much STINT
ed the growth Of everything, q i'd where the
crops look badly. In this same region, too, 1
saw some badly cultivated nelds, and crops,
apparently abandoned, that will make moth
ing. The wheat, which has all been cut, and
much OF it threshed out, has proven very good
almost everywhere. find there are steam
threshers at work in'divers places. here met
with three or four, and doubtless there are
others at work N different parts. This ia
great improvement on the horse power, and
cheaper in the end. was particularly graf.
ified to heal OF the success OF some inteli-
gent farmers IN using the reaping machine
which has been introduced the present year in
this county. DR.. Moses Z. Tageart, Of White
Hall, is great advocate for barley culture.
he says he made $50 bushels on three acres
Of land. 1t is Of great value equal to corn or
better to feed to stock. soaked or ground; and
the barley in the winter and early spring grow
ing on rich land, makes fine pasture, or may
be cut and fed green. The barley on well pre-
pared land is the most certain Of all other
crops. It is never injured by cold or wet or
dry, nor by rust and mildew, Like other grain.
It makes itself earlier than aoy other crop,
being the first to come to the relief OF the far
mer who lacks plenty. Everybody ought TO
cultivate barley in this country, as q part Of
their crop; but it is no use to do so without
enrichlng the land fist, and then it will surely
pay. DR.. Taggart sells his this year for three
dollars and fifty cents bushel to brewer in
Columbia. It is to be cultivated into lager
beer Dr.. Taggsrt uses the turning and sub.
soil plough freely in the preparation Of hls
lands for various crops, especially for wheG
and barley, and Of course manures freely with
the homemade and also the commercial, and
finds it profitable to do 80. He is not peculiar
in these respects. Abbeville has many 1f the
same sort OF enlightened and progressive plan
ters. The dry weather is just beginning to
affect the crops Of this neighborhood, as yet
not iDjuriously. The prospect is now for
good yield Of cotton and little corn. for little
is planted. Those who have planted and cul-
tivated their corn will make o good crop with
1ne or Two more rains in season.
