FARMING.

The following observations from
the Atlanta C0nstituti0n furnish
food for much wholesome reflection.
The Constitution says:
Georgia paid the West in 1878
S24, 100000 for grain, meat, flour,
meal, horses and mules. The sales
thus far this year, and the condi>
ton of our own cereal crops, wars
rant the statement that this enorS
nous bill Will be reduced to ten
million in 1874. And it is believed
that 1875 will see this sum shrink
to five million dollars. Were it
not for meat, we would soon be
self-supporting, and on the road to
wealth and independence. 1t will
take four years to accumulate a full
supply of that important article,
but hogs are sure to come to full
cribs of corn. This is one Of the
most assuring and comforting par~
agraphs we have read for long
while.
1t is truly assuring and cons
forting to see that any one of the
Southern States is beginning to
realize the fact that material and
financial independence can never
exist, so long as all the money-pro
ducing crops are submitted to a
simple exchange for the necessaries
Of life, which can always be raised
to abundance within its borders.
Long before the war our politicians
maintained, and with no little de-
gree of plausibility, that the plans
ters of the South were but the SUI
perintendents of their farms fo,
Northern capitalists, who almost
alone received the profits of the
farm, and since the war, and at
q time when there was every in
ducement to cause US to examine
we'll our course before we followed
it farther, we have kept up tht
same suicidal policy Of growing
staples and mortgaging our farm
for the staff Of life. There arr
several reasons why such a cours'
must eventually be ruinous. Ag
ricuIture the world oyer is not ;
rapidly money-making business. |
is safe and progressive but in th'
large majority of cases furnishe:
only a meagre support to its fol
lowers. It would seem therefore
the part of wisdom to use every
effort to make it Independent 0
everything else by producing al
that its capacity will allow. l
becomes too an uncertain occupa,
ton when confined to a simple sta
PIE. 4 misfortune Of some kinG
may come upon the cotton croI
and bring ruin upon the planter BY
one years operation, whereas, if he
made cotton only one of various
species Of productions and were
not compelled to pay out SO mucl
for meat, hay, mules, &c., he woulc
but lose the fruits of the industry
expended upon that crop alone.
However much therefore calcu.
lations may show that it is better
to raise exclusively cotton and pur
chase supplies, it can be demon
strated to be a delusion and mos
unsatisfactory and hazardous oc
cupation. Our country will nevc
be much more than it is until thu
one. Staple system is abolished
