noes I FAY TO DRILL WHEAT?
\ correspondent Of the ono Farmer
answers the above question as follows:
In making ready fer the wheat crop.
does not the farmer select tire best wheat
land? Then does he not aim to have it in
the best possible condition by scattering
over it an abundance of compost, and with
the diligont use Of the pillow lni harrow,
render it one grand naellow garden fer
wheat? With oqnal care and Judgement
he procurcs seed large and plump, and az
clean as it can be made, even though it
is at the expense Of time. After so much
toll, is it not wise TO adopt the best method
Gyr putting il the grain?
If tho farmer has followed broaica.t
sowing from year to year with only partial
success and frequently total failure, why
not try to drill? Certainly the past year
ought to convince rational farmer Of the
superiority of the drill over broadcast SOW
ing. 1t las been year Of trial, and the
drill triuprnhci. In fell the sol! OF which

while, if sown broadcast TO crop could have
been expected, ju'lSing from similar fields

seed. One bashcl of sscl drilled, Is equal
70 one and a half sown broadcast: and if
the land Is to be seeded down, grass scel

turn out pretty much in the same

The New state.


There is to be at Jackson on the
I'd Tuesday in July, q meeting of
the members of the Press from
South Western Kentucky, North
Mississippi and West Tennessee, the
object of which, we understand, is
an interchange of opinion aud views
in regard to the establishment of a
new State, to be called the State of
Jackson, comprising South West
ern KY, West Tenn. and North
Miss. A State thus composed would
be the most desirable State in the
Union. 1t would embrace within
its territory lands adapted to almost
every product, tobacco, corn, cotton,
wheat, grasses and the finest stock
raising districts in the South or
West, and portion of the territory
would be peculiarly adapted TO
manufactures. A State thus form
ed out of the territory named, would
be, not only a benefit TO the people
residing within the territory, but
would be a national benefit.
That which tends TO the develop
meut of the resources aud wealth of
any State or territory adds in the
same proportion to the wealth and
greatness of the general government.
The formation of the State of Jack
son would bring snincTease of pop
ulati0n; our waste. places would be
built up; the unCultivated and now
tenantless farms would "blOOm and
blossom as a rose" The unbroked
forests skirting our magnificent riv-
ers, covering with an unbrOken UNI
bragg the richest lands beneath the
sun, would soon give place to wav-
ing fields of TipeniBg grain, inter
speTsed here aud there with broad
acres of growing cotton. Railroads,
the great artries Of commerce, d.
veTging from such points as Cor
rinth. Memphis, Jackson, Hum
boldt, Union City, Columbus aud
Hickman, would traverse the entire
territory, adding wealth aud great
ness to the young State whose Iug-
tire would be undimmed bv that of
any IN the SlItterIng gslaxy of the
Union.
In favOrin- the formation of the
State of Jackson we are actuated a.
lone by the honest belief that the
wants and necessities OF the people
within the territory named, demand
il; their industrial and commercial
interest demand ii; the rich but uu-
developed resources of the territory
embraced in the boundaries of the
proposed new State demand il; the
interest of the South in point of rep
rcscntation in the Federal Congress
demand it, and it is demanded by
the rich alluvial lands covered by
the wild and almost unbroken forest
along the Mississippi river from Co
lumbus, KY, to Friar's Point in Mis-
sissippi. almost sufficiently vast in
extent to hide from the scorching
glare OF mid-summer's sun the
whole population of the New En-
gland States. For these considera-
tons and others, we are for the new
State-nOt that we love "ROme less
but Cesar more" for We, as a ma
tive Tennesseean, love the proud
old State and the glorious history
of her illustrious dead, which is the
common heritage ofal But we ia
vor the new State because the inter-
est, IN every respect, Of West Ten
nessee demands 1t.

Crop correspondence.
SALISBURY, Tenn,

SALISBURY, Tenn,
june 10th, 1878.
EDITORS WING AND TRIBUNE
The crop prospects are quite favor
able in this vicinity at present, cot
ton being in advance of last season
in size. There is considerably more
cotton planted in this section than
last year, which your correspondent,
as well as a great many others,
deems very injudicious husbandry,
from the fact that the corn crop and
other cereals have been neglected,
much to the detriment of tho coun-
try. Every one knows that there is
no W user plan than to produce at
home ell the necessaries of life that
the country and climate will pro-
duce but our farmers have fallen
into the ruinous habit of neglecting
every farm product, and throwing
their undivided attention to the al
most exclusive culture of cotton.
In this part of the country the
writer firmly believes that there
will not be sufficient corn raised to
meet the necessities of the people,
and, as a matter of course they will
be compelled, from stern necessity,
to look to other parts for their sup
plies; all, too, to be paid for out of
the cotton crsp. There is one
strong argument in favor OF small
crops of cotton, which is this: it is
generally conceded by all that there
is just so much money to pay for
cotton any how, and a small crop
brings just the same smount of
money that large one does, or two
million bales will bring as much as
four; so if we could, or would,
rather curtail the amount of cotton
to two million bales we could as
readily realize twenty cents for it
as ten for four million bale crop
hence we would have less work and
money invested and receive the
SAINT dAuOuAN VI 4AANSACGA OGSluGSs
we would have twice the amount of
time to bestow to the cultivation of
products for home consumption.
With this system adopted we would
ultimately emerge from our present
impoverished condition into one of
independence and competency; we
would hear less about depressed
credit and hard times. This is no
vain imagination of the fancy, but
one of practical utility.
The weather is very pluviaI at
this writing, and it still portends
rain, which if prOtracted long will
find our farmers completely "swan-
ped" and "thOrns and thistles" too
thick to be penetrated by any thing
less than the hoe and pillow.
Farm laborcrs have not been as
faithful this season as formerly here,
but on the contrary many of them
have left their employers with crops

weeds and grass for want Of Iabor
