One Of the most gratifying signs Of
the times at the South in the great
Improvement made within the past
few years in crop planting. Hon,
Parish Furman, Of Georgia, in his re
cent address before the Alabama agri-
culturists, at Montgomery, on the sub
ject Of intensive farming" said that
in no other respect had the South
experienced SO great a change as in
her system of agriculture. an every
scction,' he said, from the Potomac
to the Rio Graudc her farmers are
awakening to the fact that the system
Of our forefathrrs was ruiuous to
themselves and to the prospects of
their children" They admit that
their lands are Gaily becoming poorer
The old system, the last thing ever
taken into consideration, was the
effect upon the soil Of the constant
cropping to which it is subjected.
