THE WILLIAMSON PLAN.

On the first page Of tolay's issue
we reproduce from the Columbia
State an interesting scientific discus
sion of the Williamson discovery in
connection with the proper cultivation
of corn, tn, discussion being by Prof
j. S. Newman of Clemson college, who
is probably one of the leading authori-
ties in the United States OH agricul-
tural matters.
Although we are quite well aware
that this article will prove such dry
reading to many of our subscribers
that they will pass it over for some
thing more interesting and entertain
ing, still we consider it Of such great
importance. to the few who will give
it their attention, that we would feel
recrcant to our duty if we should fail
to reproduce it, notwithstanding its
length and its lack Of interest 10 so
many.
As we have taken occasion to say
before, We do not pretend I" have any
knowledge Of corn culture and for
Inal nlallci VIC Np li'l Ntl'" Niio"Soh
about the culture Of any other crop
to be worth the telling; but common
sense tells us in tic first place that
man Of Mr.. Williamson s intelligence
and standing would have never given
out his plan until after he was salts
fled of its success, and in the second
place, a man of Prof. Newman en-
pcrcncc, reputation and position
would certainly not recommend such an
iupnvation to the farmers of South
Carolina until after he had secured
such practical information as would
enable him to- speak with absolute
assurance that he was making no
mistake.
Prof. Newman endorses the Will
hanson plan in all lis essential lcat-
urcs but ii will be noted that he does
l.ot undertake to advise any farmer I"
risk his entire crop along that line the
first year. He suggests that they cN-
pcrimcnt more or less cautiously; but
thoroughly and honestly. and his sug-
gcstion is evidently made in the be-
lief that if it is Followed out. The even
lual result will be an almost uiVcr-
sal change to the Williamson plan to
the very great benefit Of the AlrmerS
individually, and to the state rs a
whole.
All of our readers who arc ut all
interested in this subject are advised
To read Prof Ncwman's article care
fully and to lay the paper aside Tor
future orkville Enquirer.
The Herald and News also pub
fishes the discussion of the William
son plan from the Columbia State OF
Sunday. 1t may be unintcrcstlng to
many OF our readers but it is a sub
icct Of vast Importance to our FAR
mcrs and we hope they will all read
ii aud do as Prof. Newman advises,
experiment. The farmers Of this Soc
tion of the cotton belt need to grow
more corn. and if they can find a
plan of cultivation which will make
two ears grow where only one GREW
before ii should be Of %rrar interest
to them.
