So far as we are concerned, il is Che, wait
of science in agriculture that ,rninp US,
ia 1870 the Eugpehots settled in South
Carolina. Since that time agricultute
has been the chief occupation cf).ths
citizens, and for the want cf science Of or
system for the words arenearly synony.
NOUS they have gone very far towards
the ruin OF one Of, tho most desirable
countries upon yshieh the sun aver shone.
wreeklessly nave they proceeded and
persisted in telling the forest, skimming
of the soil, bringing the face OF the
country into state of nudity and allow
ing it to wash into npsightly gallies
until its fertility ttJii!tEEs sE salisssa.
In this they exhibited b great want Of
science, for the forest, one Of the great
regulators of the seasons, having been
cleared of has given fall vent % sweep.
ing winds, stornts. cyclones, stV,, which
BLAST and destroy much Of mans labor;
also by ditching and thus drying UP or
lowering the beds of the water courses
they have dispelled the morning Sfogs,
thus destroying the feeders Of the at-
mospheTs ard causing it to become filled
with aridily. discipating or drinking up
oil dampness, allowing the arid sunshine
to fall upon the nsked land with such
force as TO wither and exhaust vegeta.

The above combined causes are fast
bringing our country to those extrsmes
OF wet and dry, heat or cold, wind storms,
ETC., that are constantly increasing and
causing the agricultural lintereBts to be-
come moro and more precarious, until
we are scarcely able to meet the demands
ofta growing population. Not only This,
but by our unscientifc course we ure
fast bringing disreputo upon agriculture,
while, as it is the first, it should be most
honorcd, for upon its euccess depends
that of all other occupations.
Farmers, stop short iu this suicidal
couise gotfout Of the old r,as Of ignor.
aace; drive not your own sons from o
calling which is the safest and most
pleasant. To seek aliveliIlcod in those
alrendy oyer-crowdsd professions, which
