the experience of Mr.. Robert " ash
burn. of Oconee County in that State.
as proof of what can be done by in
teIiisemt and industrious farming.
Five years ago Mr.. Wnshburn
purchased lS5 acres of poor land in
Uconcc Coanty. which required lro,n
four TO seven acres TO make Il tnle "l
cotton. He ran two pio"s and
worked three hands, himself making
one. But u thorough business s;s.

little farm and placed a certain part
of h S profits to enriching his fields.

just four crops. With two mules,
