western than in our eastern
coan,ias. As a general fact, the
smaller farmers In these upper
counties, those who run from
one to a three-horse crop, not
only raise their w supplies,
but make enough money be-
sides on cotton, wheat and to-
bacco, to email lie them tolay u p
money for a rainy day. Most
Of them now, especially those
who are independent of commits
sion merchants and fertllizing
companies, are making money
and are enabled to keep their
present crop Of cotton, rather
than sacrifice it at the prevail
ing low prices. But the big
farmers here, as all over the
State, those who pay prevailing
wages for labor and run from
three to ten horse farms and
higher, have failed as such far
mers have in the east. The
small farmers succeed, the large
ones fail, In our State since the
war. The present shrinkage in
prices OF agricultural products
do not justify the prevailing
prices Of laboU The man who
runs his own farm, attends to it
in person, who says come boys
aud not $50 boys and pays as
he goes, is the man who sue
ceeds, while the farmer who
lives away from his farm and
trusts to hirelings falls, especial
~ if be attempt large business.
LI'he no-lelce law Of Mecklen-
burg operates finely, and the
contagion OF this successful in
novation is spreading to other
counties, showing that nothing

Were we IN possession OF an
authentic analysis Of the cotton
staple it would probably increase

the constituents of tie roots.

from our soils even to produce

For The Farmer and Mechdntc

Eo,. HE Eoryner and Wechantc
Mr.. EDITOR In the FARMER
AND MECHANIC of April 18th,
1878, there appeared an article
copied from the Mobile Register,
and written by Prof. H.. Z.
White, of the University OF
Georgia, and headed The
Chemistry of the Cotton Plant
The Professor supposes "a well
developed plant to weigh three
and one half ounces when thor
oughly dry" and gives the toll
lowing proportion, viz:
lint. n third of an ounce.
Seed. one sixth of an ounce.
Rnrs or bolls, one fifth of an ounce.
Leaves. one fifth of an ounce;
stem. one ounce and one thlrd.
Roots. one third OF an ounce.
We knew when we saw IL
tha. it was incorrect, for the best
that can be accomplished with
cotton is to get half the weight
of the seed in staple, or II OF
staple for three OF seed cotton
commonly called one third.
The above proportions appeared
incorrect in another important
particular, viz: the above
amounts all together do lot
make up the three and one halt
ounces by fourteen tifteenths OF
an ounce. We attribute this
mistake to the printer, who, by
the way, ''makes all the mistakes
made in print" We were,
however, determined to test the
matter for our own satisfaction,
and as it may be a matter OF IN
terest to many cotton growers
we propose to give it III a few
articles through your valuable
paper. To the end, that we
might satisfy our own mind, as
to the proportions of the several
parts of the cotton plant to the
seed produced, and further with
a view of determining if possible
what food, and in what proper
tons the plant required it; we
selected a we'll developed, and
well proportional plant the past
season, just such a plant as we
would like if we could get all to
grow like it.
The plant, including the root,
was twenty-six inches in height;
root six inches deep; contained
twelve pods or bolls. This plant
We carefully preserved until dry,
saving al leaves, twigs, roots,
burs seed staple, and see /. When
weighed the total weight was

TERRIBLE STORM IN GLOUCESTER
CoUNTY.--On Sunday evening OF i&st
week a terrific storm of wind, lightning
and hail passed over the upper part of
Gloucester county in this State. A cor
respondent of 1ne tstqte says that hail
stones fell as large as turkey eggs. The
lightning struck a great many trees
At the Wareham mill five trees were
struck at the same time, some more than
fifty yards from the others. The wind
blew down the Ebenezer Baptist church,
tore off part of the steamer Massachu-
setts's stern while lying at her wharf in
Piankatapk river, and filled the roads
with trees. Several small houses were
blown down.
