Muldrow an expression of confidence
and thanks
Although from last years long
continued and excessive tad weather
&c is rather late 20 offer advice, still
there is much left Of importance to
which wc will direct your attention.
Throughout an the country we have
always putin too much laad 10 the /
hand Ten acres TO a FULL HAND,
well cultivated, is as much we believe
as he eanproperly work The planter /
who cultyitcs ten acres OF land /
properly enriched, will find all he I
wants to do in gathering aud storing .
and will also add the largest possib e .
compensation 70 al outlay Lei us
cell your attention to the great impol-
lance OF dilching. Do not neglect
your draining You must get tie
excess Of water out Of land or it will +
both burn and drown Before your
ditchiug, aud indeed above all else
look to your fencing Good fences
not only will save your crops after
they are made, but it viii also make
and keep good ncighbors Make
ltel good fences, safe fences that
will turn even lean and hungry
COW.
Knowing that you; fences and your
ditching is all right, and that your
fertilizers are where they will do
most good. VIC urge you to pillow
deep and close, end throw up high
beds We find by experianee that
deep blowing on our bottom lands,
not only preserves the mois ture in a
dry season but carries of the excess
In wet The above suggestions ap-
plies t. your heavy bottom lands
In regard TO your uplands, sandy
lands Of long cultivation, we advise
YOU 70 let them alone, as blowing
before you aIe resdy to plant would
make them subject to wash Your
sage OF stubblc land, however, may
be prepared now We believe that
these lands will pay better in cotton
Than any other crop, making a better
sample and larger yield than some Of
ourricher land, and being much easier
but you must Of course
use manure freely
Now in conclusion LET rs urge when
you plant to lie sure TO put in enough
land in grain, peas, etc, to make
plenty OF bread and meat for man
and beast Raise enough for hom
consumption and we believe and hope
that a few years will find you a rich |
and prosperous people
