The cheering influence of such day as this,
after weeks and months ofweather unparalel-

tions generally, gives one a desire to say how
much we enjoy the advent of bright, joyous
spring. Already the woods are ringing with
the giee of children searching for the jessa-
mine, and the farmers are pressing to put
In the seed. Many are yet prevented from
planting on account Of the sobbed state OF the
soil, and the task of replanting will fall to the
lot of some who were too early. The use OF
commercial fertilizers :s largely increased;
the demand has exceeded, by heavy per-
centage, that Of any previous year. A better
knowledge of application and the reduced
price of these manures have Induced this
change.
It's mistake to suppose that cotton will be
planted to the exclusion Of provisions. The
farmers of this section generally have an eye
to good granary. Some changes of late have
indicated progress in our town. The erection oil

TRANSPORTATION FOR farm TRUCK.-Ameet.
ing of the executive committee of the Agricul-
tural Society Of South Carolina was held on
Saturday evening at the Board of Trade rooms,
called for the purpose of taking into consider
alton the means of transportation which the
farmers in the vicinity of the city would have
for their farm truck during the present season.
Mr.. Alexander, the agent for the American
transplanter, exhibited the method on which
the inventlop worked, and made several ex-
perlments with the machine to the entire sat.
isfaction of all present.
The condition and prospects of the crops
were discussed at length, especially with
view to obtain reliable way oil transportation
to the North by steamships and railroads for
the farm produce Tor this season. and Mr.. a.
W. Kinsman, Dr.. A. B. Rose, DR.. n. B. Horl-
beck and Mr. James Price were appointed
committee to confer with the various steam.
ship and railroad lines as to the facilities and
rates of transportation which they would
severally be able to offer.
This ls one OF the mcst important and grow
iug Industries which exists In and near
Charleston. In the past year it has doubled
the value OF farm land near the city, and the
rates of profit nave attracted large amount
of capital to this Investment 1t also affords
an unfailing source Of freight 10 the railroads
and steamship lines when all other traffic is
dull, and it Is hoped that the matter will re-
celve that consideration and encouragement
which its importance to the true interests of
the city deserves.

CLINTON, LAURENS, 3. y.
Like your correspondent, Mr.. James, have
been surprised at your weather reports, at the
head of your cotton market reports; such
weather as he describes, or worse, has prevail
ed in this county, and no doubt all over the
up country, and perhaps throughout the cot
ton region. We have had the coolest winter
and the most unfavorable to tarm business
think we have ever experienced. SHOWS,
sleets, rains and frozen ground have been the
rule, working weather the exception. Or
course we are far behind with our ploughs.
But little corn is planted yet, March 27th)
and much stubble land Is yet to break. Wheat
not as much sown as usual-is winter
killed, and looks poor. Oats perhaps as
much as usual-the early sown winter killed;
the most Of 1t put In late. Whether we can

ton crop, or In fact any other crop, is TO be
raised, Is among the uncertainties Of the
future. All past experience proves this.
Speculations on the next crop are sheer nom
sense. J. q. D.
