horse farm" upon which he makes an
annual profit of $50 an acre. This farm
was purchased ten years ago for $40 an
acre. 1t consists of twenty-five acres or
hillside land, such is most abundant IN
the southern states This land had been Gull
tivated in cotton for probably a hundred
years. The monotony of the crop had alb
solutely exhausted the land. 1t produced
not more than a quarter of a bale OF
cotton to the acre, which yielded no
profit in farming. The farm was prac-
tically worthless and ready to be aban-
doned. DR.. Ramseur was a professional
man with theories as to farming. He
wanted to demonstrate the possibilities
in these WORKOUT lands and the profit
that the average farmer might make on
small acreage.
1t is well known that the continued
farming of one crop for many years ex-
hausts the land. The whole south is
laboring under the burden of the soil
impoverished by too much cotton grow
ing. DR.. Ramseur undertook to build up
his poor farm by a rotation of crops. He
began with oats in the winter and corn
and coWpeas in summer. Producing
these gave the soil different task from
growing cotton and gave two crops OF
stubble each year to be plowed under,
thus adding humus to the soil. The soil
was further improved by an abundance

this market is bricked aisle. On either
side of this are awninged stands, where
farmers deposit their goods for sale.
Agents acting for number of farmers
also have stands here. In cases when
the goods are removed from the wagons
to the agents stands the market master
takes an inventory of what the farmers
load contains, and then compares it with
the stock the agent receives and after
ward has on hand. This is done for the
purpose of keeping retail business from
being transacted.
In the small hours of the morning is
the proper time to see this queer market
at its best. Added to the collection of
teams, farmers and women is the chat

hucksters secure their goods from this

seeker after "a nickeps worth of peaches

I'm my opinion the best combination

he moved on the land. He knew nothing
