FROM A oNE.MULE FARM.
An Illustration Of What Can Be 40.
compllshed by Intelligent
Farming.

The following communication is sent
Us by Mr. Raymond l.. Griffss, 35
Wall street, New York, whose ex.
perience as president OF the Southern
immigration society has brought him
into close touch with the agricultural
problems of the south and with the
possibilities which that section offers
to immigrants Mr. Grfhss adds that
he can prove every word Of his story
I've do not doubt it, for we know
what can be done in the SOUTH, and
offers to send the name Of the King"
Of the little Kingdom" and other In
formation in regard to what has been
done by others to any who will write
/ him:
As an illustration Of what can be
accomplished on Georgia land by
studying the soil, supplying It with
the necessary plant food, diyersifging
crops, using brains as well as hands,
and experimenting everything person
ally, a southern farmer has year by
year added to his possession, u1til his
one-mue farm has become one Of the
largest in the world, covering 80
square miles Of land, and giving en-
ployment to 1880 men, women and
children.
His average for years has been 25
bushels of corn per acre and 1000
pounds of seed cotton. Some acres
yielded G5 bushels Of corn, 35 of wheat
and two bales of cotton His land at
first was worth $40 per acre, now $50.
His cattle now number 500, besides his
/ 100 thoroughbred Jerseys and Hol-
stems, which have produced each
year 10000 pounds Of butter at Is to
25 cents per pound. With agriculture
he has combined manufacturing and
his raw material has been turned into
valuable manufactured articles by
means of the steam ginnery oil mills
and fertilizer factory. He has en-
ployed negro labor only. His saw mill
cuts his lumber for his houses, ETC.;
/ his brickyard turns out his brick; his
wagons are made in his shop, His
own railroad, II miles long, hauls ma
terials to his factories and his mar.
ketable products to the outside world.
The average production of lint cot
ton is one bale to two and one-half
acres on good, bad and Indifferent
farms, but it is not at all uncommon
for a good farmer to raise a bale to
the acre by good culture and abun.
dant fertilizer. Intensive farming,
which applies the lessons of science
and experience has achieved some re-
markable results.
The following is the average an.
nual product of this farm: 2,200 bales
of cotton 10000 gallons of cotton
seed oil, 5000 tons of fertilizer, 10000
bushels of corn, 10000 bushels Of
wheat 1000 bushels of rye, 5000 bush
els of oats, 5000 of peas, 10000 pounds
of butter 100000 pounds of fat cattle,
5000 pounds of bacon and hams, be.

Darwin, the great naturalist, learned

was found in the 100 heads, Bees had
access to another 100 heads of clover,
and those heads produced 5000 clover

of bees on a farm. Before the season
is over there will be enough bees to

FOR MEAT INSPECTION
HOUSE COMMITTEE OPPOSES
BEVERlDGE AMENDMENT.
Presents Measure Of Its Own,
Which the President, II Is
Said, viii Oppose.

Washington-A meat inspection
amendment to the agricultural appro-
prlation bill has been completed by
the house committee on agriculture,
and will be known as the Wadaworth
substitute for the Beyeridge amend.
ment. The important features of the
legislation are that it places the cost
Of the inspection on the government
and makes an annual automatic ap-
preparation of $2,OOO,0O0 to pay the
expenses.
President Not Pleased.
The president has set the seal Of
his unqualified dlsapproval upon the
measure. Chair-1eu Wad5worth sent a
copy of the new proposition TO the
president, and he received from the
president a letter in which the latter
in unmistakable terms makes It plain
that it is totally, absolutely and in
every essential particular unsatisfac-
tory to him Mr. Roosevelt indicates
an intention to veto the entire agri'
cultural appropriation bill, Of which it
is a part, leaving the agricultural de-
partment stranded and opening up the
possibility Of an extra session.
The Presidents Letter.
Secretary Loeb has given out a
summary of the presidents letter, in
which the secretary says:
''In the letter to Mr.. Wadsworth the
president stated that almost every
change in the proposed house amend
ment was for the worse that the presl-
dent felt it would doubtless suit those
packers who objected to a thorough
going inspection, but that he also felt
it would, in the long run, be a heavy
blow to the honest stock raiser and
the honest packer; that the proposed
amendment would grayeIy hamper the
secretary of agriculture in doing the
work he is appointed to do, and
would simply defer the day when we
could restore the foreign and inter.
state trade on the meat to a satisfac
tory position
The president has explained yer.
bally that he is far less concerned
with the question as to whether the
packers or the government should pay
for the inspection than with certain
other features of the bill"
Wadsworth's Answer,
Representative Wadsworth, in his
part of the correspondence, does moi
hesitate to take the president to task
in way such as has never before
been known in the past decade. Mr.
Wadsworth, in concluding his letter
says: Il regret that you, the president
of these United States, should fee
justified, by innuendo, at least, in i'm
Ipugnipg the sincerity and the compe
tency of a committee of the house Of
representatives, If you have no war
rant for it."
The majority of the committee, it is
said, have determined to stand by Mr.
Wadsworth and the substitute, while
the friends of the Beyerdge amend
ment have begun to organize to fighr
every line of the proposed substitute
That the speaker also stands with the
committee is apparent
