Every country has to pass through
a stage of existence in which the
question of "fence or no fence
comes up for discussion and settle
ment and becomes a part OF It's his
tory. 1t may be a new question to
US, but by no means new to the
world. In China we suppose it was
settled thousands of years ago, SO
no one need let it be passed upon

of some of the best men of the
State, the time has come when it
will be a benefit TO our whole peo-
pie. So it becomes the battle of
to-day, and we, of this day and
generation, have got it to fight.
Our people have a wonderful fac
ulty of running everything through
the political mill. We hope though

EXPOSITION

We do not knowhow much North

Paris Exposition, but we learn that
a Granville farmer was written to
and received a high price not long
since. for a fine article by some
parties in Richmond to be fixed up
and sent over from there. We
Law no value to tins except as a
matter of news. If Congress would
let the people OF the tobacco sec
tons of our State have the law (ef
taxes) and with some assurance
that it would remain SO for a term
Of n they would be doing well
enough, and would be inclined to
ask nothing more at their hands.
They feel their leadership and
superiority in the production OF
this article, bright tobacco, and
are satified. We believe the great
mass of our farmers feel as we do
not caring whether anybody comes
home with Major Tucker (and
others) from the Exposition OF not.
The road has always been and is
now open to open any n who e e
fit to come. We have heard men
who had acquired wealth say, the
real enjoyment was not IN the
actual possession of it, but in feel
ING and knowing that it was
gradually and surely added to.
We hear of no suffering among
our people. North Carolina is
being gradually developed, and
suppose we who are here do not
complete the job. Suppose it were
delayed for a century or SO, would
it not be still, though undeveloped

to do so 1--WE say it to his credit,
SO it will be his nature and a part
of his history to gravitate further
South, towards the SUM-. But we
believe his mission here, as yet, is
not quite accomplished/ But upon
this subject of tobacco we say this
much for the benefit of the young
men of our State and those who
are inclined to be dissatisfied. that
since the war no agricultural people
in the world have made SO many
smell fortunes-say from one to
five thousand dollars, as have been
made in our bright tobacco belt.
Facts and statistics are in easy
reach to prove this, and if any
one doubts, let him come and en-
quire. That the rest of cur far
ming is backward and sloven we
do not deny, but we claim that
this is both progressive and scien-
titic./ But its grandest beauty is
in the very trifing amount of capt.

SEASONABLE NOTES.

| often wonder if many Of the
farmers read or care for the letters
of the correspondents of the FAR
+ AND MECHANIC. | suppose
all the writer's feel in the same
way. By way encouragement to
one at least | must say that have
been very much interested in most
of the letters Of n. A. e.. Par
ticularly on the subject of deep
blowing in a late number. can
heartily endorse all that was there
written. And can offer my ex-
perience of proof, that the theory
of deep blowing for the South is
correct. was disappointed in the
results for the first two II three
wears, as | had not enough manure
to apply after turning up so much
of the sub-soil. But now on my
sixth year of farming here | am
able to convince the most skeptical,
provided that they will come and
look over my little farm. The
crops are fine and another great
advantage is, the land does not
wash and gully by the heavy rains.
Only Saturday we had n of our
regular washing rains, but there is
no trace left Of it on my farm, not
a plant washed out, and not a row
broken through, although my land
is very rolling. | am about to
abandon my side hill bitches, for
| see no use for them now. as all
the surplus water enters the soil.
Deep blowing and thorough and
frequent cultivation is my motto.

deep, and often sub-soil after this.
We have a heavy clay sub-soil. |
take great care never to work the
land when it is wet. 1t will take
veal for a piece Of land to recover,
fit is plowed when it is too wet.
The practice of many of our farmers
OF running the pillow directly after
a rain is fatal to a good crop, and
adds double to the cost of cultiva-
ton. See that field just planted
in cotton across the way. 1t has a
clay soil; was broken upin March,
when very wet, and left till last
week without narrowing. Then
1t was listed up, and attempt made
to plant cotton. The overseer
came and asked me how he could
manage to cover the seed. 1t was
so cloddy and lumpy that the
planters would not do good work.
could not tell him how to cover
his seed, but | did tell him what was
the matter with the land. Another
great advantage | find is that the
surface does not cake hard after
the rains. Most of my small seeds
come through without any trouble.
The first two or three years it was
almost impossible to get cabbage,
celery, and other small seeds up at
all, without covering the seeds in
the drill with fine chip manure,
which, by the way, is the best plan
l have ever found for sowing such
seeds, where the ground is likely to
bake.
Let the gardeners make a note of
this way of sowing seeds: it has been
worth many a dollar to me. By the
way, let me extend an invitation to
everybody interested in farming tc
visit my farm, and see for them
selves what our system of cultiva.
ting will do. | begin to feel that
c. yet awaits us, and | want
everybody to have the benefit OF
this experience, which has cost me
so many dollars, and many, many
a hard days work.
