went to work; myself and one son big
enough to plow, and four small ones not
laIge enough to pillow, were my force.
We made 400 bushels of corn and
$14OO worth of cotton. | had corn,
peas and meat to do me for the year
1869. Ny eldest son quit me and went
to work for himself. | had one above
eleven years Of age, and put him to the
plow, and we have this year made liz
bales OF cotton, 300 bushels of corn
300 bushels Of oats, SIS bushels of wheat
and some potatoes, and 1900 pounds of
pork. During the last five years have
lost four head Of horses still I have not
bonded any cotton.s Ny neighbors tha:
went to making cotton to buy corn and
meat with, are still at it. and they are
just one year behind. They have to
sell their cotton before they make it at
ten or twelve cents per pound, in order
to buy meat and bread, and just as long
as men pursue that Course they will al
ways be behind. | have not worked
any freedmen at all, and think I came
out best, for those who do work them in
this neighborhood, generally, come out
losers, with difficulties and lawsuits.
During the five years since the surren-
der. / have not used any manures, as
my means have been limited 1t every
body, both white and black. would go 10
raising their own corn aud meat at

Cotton as a surplus Crop.

We extract the following from the
report of the Department of Agriculture
at Washington, for January:
The folly Of planting all cotton, and
buying all farm supplies, was exhibited
on an extensive scale before the war,
and has been abundantly exemplifed
since: /. It is precarious depen-
dence; it is carrying an entire stock Of
very fragile eggs in one basket over
exceedingly rugged roads. 2. 1t in
wolves heavy expenses for transportation
and commissions on bulky supplies for
men and animals ON the farm. 3. 1t
prevents the adoption of any system of
rotation and the most economic means
Of fertilization. It is a folly that in
1866 and 1867, plunged thousands of
struggling planters into utter bankrupt
cy. The wisdom of the opposite course
is well illustrated by the following ex-
tract from letter written by repre-
sentative of very large class, who
found themselves at "the surrender
without money or business, or the means
Of liying-in this case a man with a
large family Of small children, Calvin G.
Jones, Of Wetumpka, Ala:
I will now give you the history of
my proceedings from the surrender up
to the present time. At the surrender
I had ninety dollars in hard money.
There were ten of us in the family, my
self, wife, and eight children. had no
provisions, but had two horses and one
hundred and sixty acres of poor pine
land-plantation gone down. ! went to
work for what we could eat, as it was
too late in the year to try to make a
crop. The LIST of January, 1866, |
went to work TO make a crop. / took
my hard money and bought provisions
with it, and planted all my land, about
fifty acres, in corn and peas. My neigh
bors wanted to know why did not
plant cotton they said they could raise
cotton enough on one acre TO buy as
much as would grow or Eve. told
them that the first thing with me. was
something to eat, and then / would raise
some cotton. It proved 70 be bad
crop, but raised corn and peas enough
to make my meat and to do me for the.
year 1867. then planted about half
my land Id cotton and the balance in
corn and peas. I made fve bales Of
ootton, and corn and peas and meat
enough to do me for the year 1868 !
then sold my poor land or 5000. in
three payments and bought aplantation
ON the Ooosa river, ten miles above
Wetumpks, tor which I promised $1,000,
ID two paymeAts. rand my children
