was yielding one bale of cotton to ten

was thoroughly satisfied that I must
adopt the intensive plan after test with
two acres planted in cotton under the
following management:
On the two acres I broadcasted sixty
bushels of cotton seed in the winter,
turning them under and subsoiling the
land twelve inches deep. In the spring,
after ploughing and pulverizing the land,
I applied one ton of q compound guano.
The itemized cost of cultivation, manure
and gathering the cotton was eighty dol
lars. I gathered from the two acres six.
teen hundred pounds of lint, which I
sold for one hundred and sixty dollars.
Each acre netted me forty dollars. This
was the proof that convinced me and
should convince any one.
My advice to you is work less poor
land, manure and improve your lands,
hire less improbable labor, give more
thought to your farms, and you will be in
a good way towards a prosperous refor.
nation. This must accompany the other
reforms We are trying to work if the AL

IN an0tner part OF tne Iarm We came
to another series Of embankments. They
were from Two to three feet high and be-
coming covered with a species of blue
grass. Explained the doctor:
"I have been working on these for over
two years now, and you see what has
been done. The idea is to keep on
building the embaukment up little
every year until you get it as high as
desired. But just observe the practical
results. You notice the surface of the
earth on the upper side of this embank-
ment has already been raised fully
twelve incher higher than the lower side.
And this accumulated soil is of the very
richest. Why, just look at those cotton
stalks. They tell the whole story, get,
ing smaller as they get further away
from this bank. But where would that
extra foot of soil be if it hadn't been for
that terrace? It makes me regretful to
think about it. I feel as if I had been
standing idly by, year after year, and
letting hundreds of dollars slip through
my fingers and not able to help myself,
when if I had just thought of this simple
plan ten years ago, my whole farm would
now be a garden. Yes, sir; when you
have your land fixed in that shape, you
can rest content that all the manure that
is not used in the nourishment of this
years crop, will be here when you want
it next year.
"Were you ever in the lower part of
the State, down below Columbia, and see
those rich lands on the Congaree? The
soil is of almost indefinite depth, and just
as fertile as an asparagus bed. Do you
know how it came so? We poor fellows
up here furnish the manure. We put it
on our lands. It is leached out by the
rains, and deposited down there as aedi-
ncent from the oyeraows, But if all the

ARTICLES are appearing in the papers from time
to time criticsing unfairly, attacking unjustly the
public schools-not Of any particular section or
localty-but the system and schools of the land
Some of these criticisms would core with better
grace If penned by those who are familiar with the
practical working, rather than the theory of the
public school system. Strange as it may seem,
many who write such articles are persons who, by
experience, know nothing whatever of the schools
they SO severely condemn. By education in other
schools, they have imbibed these ideas, and SO
thoroughly are they imbued with these erroneous
Impressions that they are ready to exclam at the
outset, as did the worthy of old, "Can any good
thing come out of Nazareth. - II, before sitting
in judgment they would thoroughly investigate;
if, before pennng their their thoughts concerning
the schools, they would take the trouble to visit
the one nearest their own domicile, they might
find much to commend and less to condemn.
From the early history Of our country we learn
that not until after the establishment of free
schools did general education make rapid progress.
AT the time man has young family to educate,
his business requires all the surplus cash he can
put into it, to make it remunerative or successful
To take of his means at such time to educate
his sons and daughters, means to financially cripple
him, and so free education comes as blessing. 1t
is greatly to be regretted that as yet we have no
law, compelling attendance at school for certain
number of months each year of children who, too
poor to attend private institutions of learning are
allowed by illiterate parents to grow up in ignor
ance and semi-barbarsm. This is all the more to
be regretted when we remember that the illterate
voters of The present time outnumber the intelll-
GENT ones. How can we get from this low strata
to high grade of legislation. Naturally they
will select from their standpoint and our govern
ment suffers as the result. Our fore-fathers
planned wisely generously, in truth, but,
with the rapid growth of the new country came,
not only the uneducated alien element, but the
native-born children have over-crowded the schools,
which are not sufficient in number to accommodate
all who seek admission. Yet even with this state
of affairs existing, we have today system to
which we can point with pride, as it ranks secona
