Western North Carolina.

Scion Robinson writes to the
New York Tribune from West
err North Carolina:
1T is still Il question what
crops can be most proftably
grown in this region. Indian
corn is the universal grain crop,
though little land besides the
valley has been cleared for cul-
tivation; and in some of them
cotton and tobacco were largely
grown, before the change in our
system of labor AS it is every
where in the South, SO it is here.
Large tracts Of land are lying
idle, useless and barren, because
the natural fertility of a virgin
soil has been exhausted by con-
tinually cropping without ma
nure, rest or rotation.
"Some of these Western North
Carolina counties have been
long noted for the quality of the
wheat. Flour has been trans
ported from Asheville by mule
teams over the mountain roads
a hundred miles southwark. But
this kind of work is not remu-
nerative to the farmer. Owing
to the diff :ulties of transporta-
ton, all of this mount linous re-
gion of the two Carolinas, Geor-
gia and Tennessee, has been
settled by men who depended
more upon hunting than farm
ing; and it is only by force Of
necessity that they are driven to
the latter and Of course, upon the
most limited scale and in the
crudest manner. There are
several OF those patches of cul-
tivated mountain land within
sight of my writing table, upon
which the wheels of a farm
wagon or cart never rolled, and
perhaps never will roll. Hogs
are the universal and almost
only stock kept by these noun
tain farmers, and these are of
the very worst long-nosed breed,
and | cannot say the valley far
mers do much better; yet this
vast territory is exactly fitted by
nature for the business of stock
breeders, more especially for
sheep and Cashmere goats,
which Craze the mountains and
find rich pasturage are inacces-
slble to larger animals, and
never IA be utilized for crops
which require the plough and
cart.
Il cannot reconcile my mind
to the fact that there are SO many
industrious people all over the
Northern States who are longing
for homes in just such a high,
healthy, fertile land from ma
laria and mosquitoes; and that
here the opportunities for max
ing such homes are so abundant
and cheap, yet unemployed.
Perhaps it is because this land
is so unknown. Land is held
here, particularly in the most
mountainous districts, at a very
low valuation, and it is so fertile
! that a small amount of labor
