bushels to the acre. These crops were made
on common land, or old field. Taking the
average yield of oats at 45 bushels, worth 5O
cents bushel in market, the crop will pro.
duce $22 30 to the acre. In wheat, at 70
bushels, selling at 81 %, the crop is worth
S31 rs an acre. The land on which these
crops are made is not worth more than So an
acre, if so much and by careful calculation
the cost of cultivation, including harvesting
and preparing for market, does not exceed
SIS an acre.
This is far more profitable than cotton,
where upland cotton can be grown, and wheat
and oats have the additional advantage that
they need little cultivation, while cotton is an
all.year crop. The Agricultural Society,
with DR.. Ravenel, have solved the low.coun-
try problem, in demonstrating that, on com

SUMTER NOT BEHIND.-One of our cub
scribers-a practical and energetic planter,
as we'll as a successful horticulturist-af
reading the paragraph copied by US last week,
in regard to the growing of tea and cork in
Georgia, concluded that he would let the
public know that Sumter county is entitled to
as much distinction as our Georgia neigh
bors. He, therefore, on last Saturday, brought
US some tea leaves and some pieces of cork,
grown on his place few miles from town.
The tea was, of course, in its greef state, but
that it is successfully grown here is the only
point that we are interested in at present I;
that it can be perfectly cured in this country
has been fully demonstrated. The cork tree
has been growing on his place for a number
of years, and was raised from the seed, sew
eral of the acorns having been sent to him
from Washington. The cork oak is native
of Spain and Portugal. The bark, which is
thick and spongy, is the part used. The first
growth, which is coarse and scanned, is
stripped of, after which, in five or six years,
a new and fine bark is formed, from which
the best shoppers are made.-Trus Southron.

FINE FRUIT.

with cluster of peaches of the variety known
as Early Rivers" These peaches grow some.
what in the manner of bunch of grapes, and
the bunch to which we allude, though on
branch but eight inches in length, consisted
of ten fine, we'll ripened peaches, averaging
seven inches in circumference. The tree up
on which they grew, was ordered from the
nursery of j. Van Lindley, Greensboro, N. g.,
three years ago, last fall, and the present is
the second crop it has borne. Sheriff Glenn
has ine crop of fruit this year. His trees
are thrifty and in a Aourishing condition,
a sure reward for bestowing upon them prop
er attention. Besides thorough tillage of
his orchard grounds, in the spring of every
year he applies fertilizer of wood ashes to
the roots of the trees, the beneficial effect of
which is discernible in the abundance and
fine quality of the fruit with which they are
laden
