FARMER AND PLANTER.
,eRoFI1AeLE COTTON GROWING.

Aa -
Don't Try to Cultivate More Land Than
You Can Take Care OF.
2 Tho small average production per
acre OF cotton should convince pro-
-ducerst that great deal of hard work
Is thrown away every year, lT
In. almost every neighborhood indi-
vidual instances furnish conclusive evil
dence, that the fault is in the man and
not in the soil. The great trouble be-
hind all of this is in the universal dis
position to plant more land than can be
properly cared FOR.
+, The southern farmer is givento "big"
things, and his standing is rated by the
number Of bales Of cotton his planta-
ton shipsito market annually. There
is very little land in the cotton belt
that will not properly managed) pro-
duce from 400 to 600 pounds Of lint cot
ton 10 fair seasons; yet we see the aver
age falls below 100 pounds for the en-
tire acreage.
The lands Of the Yazoo Delta will,
with good cultivation, produce 800
pounds Of lint cotton or fifty bushels of
corn per acre, vet the, average given
for this section is abont 200 pounds OF
cotton and twenty bushels Of corn.
Riding oyer the country, one fire.
!, qucntly sees q tine crop of cotton and
corn, belonging to the same tenant,
while on the same kind of soil, in the
same Enclosure, viii sbe seen another
crop scarcely worth preserving.
Inquiry win reveal that in the first
instance the tenant has just what he
can attend to CAREFUL, while the other
is badly over-cropped, and necessarily
loses in yield. 1t Is possible for the
southern farmer to. bring up his land
to a paying point by, judicious course
of rotation. The COW pea furnishes a
cheap and valuable soil renovator, and
the average southern farm can be re.
stored to profitable production by the
use Of COW peas alone.
- A trial of this will convince the most
skeptical. 1t must be understood that
no crop should be plowed under green
in ourwarm climate, but it should be
left until frost has killed vegetation
and then turned UNDER or do it In the
winter. tJanuary being the best time.

what might be termed an active politi.
clan in that no is never seen at conven-
lions or on tho hustlngs, but there is no
doubt Of his Democracy. Congressman
Randall, of Massachusetts, said last
night that his selection would give in
tense satisfaction to the people Of Mas
sachusetts.
Mr.. Olney has at least twice refused
a place on the bench Of the Massachu-
sets supreme court, and when the last
vacancy occurred in the Office OF chief
justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States Mr.. Olney was very promi-
nently mentioned in connection with
the place. These offers he has refused
and has devoted himself diligently to
the practice OF his profession.
MIR. OlneY has always, so far as is
known, affiliated with the Democratic
party, except when that party in Massa-
chusetts took General Butler for it's
gubarnatorial candidate. Mr.. O!ney
then refused to support the nominee Of
the party. Mr.. Olney was born in Oxford,
Mass, in 1875; graduated at Brown
University, class 1856, and at the
Harvard law school, 1858.
MIR. Olney married tho daughter of
ledge Seth Thomas, formerly OF tho
