Ideal Marlboro Farms.

In letter to The State, Mr.. j..
r. Normeat, in his..usual happy
style, gives a pen sketch of some
of the ideal farms of Marlboro
county, this state, which he has
recently visited. Messrs. Evaus,
two brothers, a number of years
ago began farm life by renting
land. From the profits made while
renting they purchased tract and
have added to 1T until they now
own a lordly estate of2,5S5 acres.
Twelve hundred acres of this is
under cultivation.
"From their front porch" says
Mr.. Norment, "can be seer 415
acres of cotton, and there is not a
ditch in the entire field. The rows
are ABOUT one mile long and when
the harvest is passed and the sum-
mer is ended and the sheaves have
all been gathered in. it is q poor
season indeed when less than 400
bales of cotton have not been gar
nered from this beautiful lield.'
"It may be interesting 10 know
that these scientists use annually
more than $50 tons of fertilizers,
and among these used are included
nitrate of soda and Peruvian
guanc. Their last purchases of
fertilizers included IS car loads,
enough for a seasons business
with some wholesale dealers. From
$50 acres in cotton they generally
gather $50 bales. This season they
will use 900 pounds of fertilizers
per acre upon the cotton when
planted, and in June 800 pounds
per acre will be added. These
planters also have everything else
grown or the farm, and always
have corn and peas to sell, fact
the Importance of which is seldom
understood, but possibly it has
much meaning upon the success
Of the large planters whose work
is here being considered.
The foregoing excerpt from Mr..
Norment's letter gives an insight
into the farming methods, condi-
tions, ETC., of a. portion at leaat of
the Pee Dee section. The secret Of
the phenomenal success of the
Marlboro farmers has been inten-
sive farming. The figures given
above show that almost as much
fertilizers arc applied to one acre
in Marlboro, 200 pounds-as is
applied 10 The average one-horse
farm in this county.
