A great many farmers are taking adyan-
tage OF the unusually favorable weather,
and it seems at present that nearly all are
going to prepare better by breaking their
land more thoroughly. We know by OBJ
servation that our best and most success
full farmers break land we'll, manure
heavy, and cultivate fast and shallow.
The "trail road" passes through this Sec
tion of country, and travellers passing
along used to say that man would Fer.
ish to death if all his land was that. poor.
We will say to those transients that nearly
all our land is about the same quality,
and Mr.. ]. J. Robinson has little gin for
this little neighborhood. This season he
has ginned the snug listle amount OF 53o
bales of cotton. Besides this our cribs are
full to the boards, and our smoke houses
are not all empty either. My dear friends
If you think we are starving here just stop
when you pass next time and you will
never say starve to Us any more, but you
will want to know if there is any room
for you among us. We hope that you
will stop and learn about our poor farms
and our hospitality, but we think it USE
less to attempt to locate hore among US
unless you want to build houses, teach
school, or preach, because we are already
crowded till our chickens and children
run and mix up so that dispute arises
about whose they are. Some cut OF or
pull out their chickens tails IN order to
know them.
!, B.P. Mitchell has finished putting in
his cotton seed for manure. He has put
from twenty. five to forty bushels OF seed
to the acre. He will take the same shovel
plow that was used to open for the seed,
and run directly in the same furrow,
which has one furrow now. thrown with a
half shovel to cover the seed. This will
throw the seed out far enough to
prevent them from all being thrown back
in listing, therefore the seed will be
mixed all through the bed. After these
seed are thrown out with the shovel, he
means to distribute three or four hundred
pounds of fertilizer to be listed on with
the seed, and expects to make bale to
the acre on part of his crop.
