This method Of making money
is not entirely new. We have
known Of instances where northern
settlers have purchased such plan
cations as 1 have described, and
within twelve months have been
offered double what they paid for
them, although very little money
had been expended on the place.
1t is fair to say, however, that
muscle had been freely used and
paint to q limited extent. These
Iarm bargains are no longer to be
found near towns nor Immediately
adjacent to the railroad, but there
are plenty of them within reason
able distance of local market.
The introduction Of rural mail de-
livery and country telephones
makes these plantations back from
Inc railroads more desirable. We
predict that within five years there
will not be plantation in Misais.

chase Of old plantations il

tions were in cultivation fifty OF
more years before the var. Their
owners we're bankrupted by the
four years Of civil strife, and those
who Lived to return we're without
money and with no practical
knowledge OF farming. They did the
best they could under the circum'

this late date such places from five

road can be purchased at from
$40 to 500 per acre, plantations
that before the war were easily
worth four times this amount.
The question will be asked. How
many years Will it take to resusti-
tate these apparently worn out
farmsf In the last number of the
Southern Farm Gazette, published
at Starkville, Miss, Mr.. T. J.
Chamberlain, of Cannonsburg,

article on Building up Soil:"
ri will give my experience in
making poor land produce one
bale of cotton and over per acre.
1t took me four years to do it. /
don't think anyone can make poor
land do this in one year.
"First year. 20 acres produced
8 bales Of cotton, no fertilizer
being used. The land was worked
by negro on shares.
Second year. The same 20
acres were put in corn and peas
by myself, 500 pounds Of cotton
seed meal being used per acre.
20 bushels Of corn were produced
per acre and 40 bushels of peas
were gathered. The land was
pastured two months. It was
plowed 10 inches deep with three
horses by the use of Flying
Dutchman riding sulky pillow cut
ting 16 inches and turning under
all trash.
"Third year. The 20 acres were
planted in COW peas, 2 bushels OF
seed per acre. 200 pounds OF land
plaster were sprinkled on the
vines when they were eight inches
high. The yield was 40 TONS No
peas.
"Fourth year. This year the
20 acres were put in corn and
peas. 1t was very dry year. |
500 pounds Of cotton seed meal
and acid phosphate, half and'half,
we're used per acre. The yield
was % bushels Of corn per acre,
80 bushels Of peas. The land was
Dastured two months and plOwed

"Fifth year. Peterkin cotton
vas grown on the 20 acres this
