SANrUc, March 20.--After several days of
bright, sunshiny weather, il turned grad
uaiiy colder last week, until Saturday, when
we were Treated to snow storm. The
flakes were largo AMI fell thick and fast.
1t however cleared of before night, but
Sunday morning everything was white with
frost-a big jack frest--and the ground was
frozen, which msde us crings for the f. .uit
buds and bloomb. Still it 10 hoped that
there will be enohgh later blooms to ensure
Guano is being hauled to the farms very
extensively, and The indications are that .
large crop of cotton will be planted: We
wonder If any Of the fertilizers will be Us Ell
10 increase tho hog aud hominy crops, or
will il be solely to further the so-called
over production Of cotton? Guano 10 rather
high compared with the'prcdictioas of what
the price Of cstten will be next fall If
cotton does come down TO six OF seven cents,
or perhaps lower, how will the farmers
manage 10 pay fot guano and tho stiff prices
for hands aud provisions to run theR, if
they ovsrcrop themselves, in an effort to
make a big crop, and let the grass take IL,
and then only make half or thrse-fonrths
crop. think this i, something to think
seriously upon.
According 70 my opinion, i: will not pay
to use commercial fertilizers, unless . small
acreage Of the hest land is planted, fsriil-
lied vel, and welt worked, and that not put
in cotton, be Put in rn and peas to
raise hogs, in order ta stop that heavy drain
upoa the farm Of buying so much high
priced bacon.
