T he South.

The Northern papers from week to
week are having something to say con-
corning the South and its great resources.
The New York Press puts it very neatly
as follows:
And the victories of the future shall be
those of peace. begotten in the mine, the
forest, the field, the forge and the furnace.
The South is richer far in natural re-
sources than men have yet realized. She
has wealth of sun and soil, of fruit and
forest and mineral and it is only neces-
sary that her tremendous energies shall be
concentrated and directed to the develop
ment of her natural wealth to astonish the
civilized world. Capital shall go with
security as a condition precedent) wherever
it shall find the richest reward and that
capital is satisfied with the prospect in the
South is made manifest by the recent re-
moval of the manufacturing plants from
their old fields i'll the North to newer and
richer fields in the South. Population
and wealth will follow them, and it is no
wild freak of fancy that foresees the time
when the relative strength of North and
South in men and money shall be mate
rally changed; when the furnace fires of
Alabama and Georgia shall become the
torches of industrial victory, and the spin
dies of South Carolina and Mississippi
shsll hum their song of JOY for the South
ern resurrection"

Total expenses of handling crop. ......

Total expenses of handling crop. .-.... SlooO w
Now l will place the average yield of
100 acres of rice at 10 barrels per acre,
when the crop has been properly planted
and sufficient moisture given it.
This rice is worth S. 80 per barrel If IN
good condition, as it should be, which
gives the farmer $4,000.
This gives the farmer q net profit OF
$1,000.
Total cost of first crop per acre is $l5.oO.
Net profit per acre for farmer, $500.
1t should not be forgotten, however,
that the expenses of the above crop are
what accumulate from hiring everything
DONE The cost of the crop would be much
less if the farmer did his own work, with
the assistance of one hand in seeding time
and two hands in harvest, if he has good
rice harvester, which can be had in any
district where rice is grown.
After the first year expenses can be re-
duced one-third when all work is hired
done. If the farmer has all the necessary
machinery, and paid for, expenses can be
reduced one-half after the first year.
From the data furnished in these re-
marks, one can draw conclusions as to
actual cost of raising rice on any number
of acres.
My observations, however, are not to be
understood as entirely correct in every
particular, for circumstances alter cases,
and as the lay of the land varies the cost
of preparing it for rice, it can readily be
observed that one should make exceptions
in some instances.-R. s. St0ddGrd, in

the ice, and the snow, and the blizzard are
so little experienced where the grass is
green from January to January to the

and honey. Come! Come quickly! We
need you. We want to sell you our cheap
and fertile lands, of which we possess too
large an area to cultivate probably. We
want you to come and bring your purses
with you and leave your sectional pre-
iudices behind you. We don't care any
thing about your politics. Come now If
not to day, tomorrow or next Monday
come in October and November and De-

Pedigreed lie Conte and Kieffer Pears

And now while we are on the subject of
LIE Conte and kieffer pears. it would be
well, perhaps, to notice the discussion
going on through the columns of the
Southern H0rticulturdt Journal.
We have hardly space to spare in the
present issue of the Tines Democrat for a
full report of the discussion, but will
briefly state the result, which is, first
That the so-called pedlgreed trees, viz,
those grown from cuttings from the origi-
nal stock, were harder, healthier and less
liable to disease than those propagated by
gratis or buds upon the ounce.
The blighting of the pedigreed trees at
Thomasville, Ga or elsewhere, disabused
them of this idea, and we are sorry for it.
Now, the conclusions reached are as fol
lows First, that grated or budded trees
are not less subject to blight than those
grown from cuttings.
They bear fruit several years sooner, but
are probably shorter lived.
The trees grown from cuttings are longer
lived provided blight does not strike
them) and produce much larger crops
when they arrive in bearing condition.
