HIGH FARMING.-In an article upon
this subject in the February number
of the Raral Cdrolinian, by O. W.
Howard. of Georgia. he lays down two
conditions as inseparabie from the
term, viz: direct profit from the crop
and an indirect profit from the i'm
proyement of the soil. It neoessitates
that every acre should be perfectly
cultivated, but it is entirely consistent
with the ownership of extensive tracts,
which may be kept enclosed or pas
tured. The writer gives an interesting
fact in connection with tho fiva bale
cfSP.to the acre. produced by Mr..
Wsssbsh. iafilieorgia., ao. -. 10
.,Thg 9fmtsaa ar s0tton proauc, from from

the Executive CSmnnirt1H of the Geor.
gia BtSfeo !. o.Ag1aa9hral' Society wers
arranging the ;preminu list. for. the
next yeass it was' proposed by one of
the members to offer premium ,of
81, 600 fox the greatest product Of cot
ton from q single acre, The minimum
to be Ave bales. The proposition was
warmly debated. Some OF the mem.
bers contended that the offer OF snch
premium would burlesque the, whole
list; that it was impossible to prodGoe
hve bales from au acre. When the
vote WAS taken, there was q, tie, the
casting vote was given by tbe, writer,
then acting as chairman of the com.
mittee, in favor of offeripg the pre-.
mium. At sohsequept. mesiine of
the committee, the subject was recon
sidered. and tue premium was stricken
from the list. Curiousiy enough. vt
the next fair. Mr.. Warthen produced
ample and most satisfactory certificates
to the fact of his having produced five
bales OF cotten from single acre.
Although the amount of manure was
greater, probably. than had ever pre-
viously been applied Ia an acre Of cot
ton, the profits were still very large.
1t was, the. opinion Of Mr. Warthen
and his neighbofs that he Hnuld have
exceeded this product during tho past
year. bnt for storm which ctt off his
crop, reducing it to two aud QUE hnlf
bales per acre. There can be no doubt
that the immediate net profits OF an
acre OF heavily -msnnred grass. iu u
favorable locality, would exceed that
OF tho one under consideration. But
the cotton must be considered as part
OF necessary rotation. As cIeous-
ing crop, cotton is unequaled. Iu y
