F. NJ. BEt.wRsTEs To FARMERS.
Tells Interesting Story OF Crop
Rotation I'm Alabama.
'o the Editor nf The News.flI


1 came to this place few weeks
ago and by accident came . upon a
farm freak. You know sfreak Is
something out of the natural order
OF things. Well a farm freak or
freak farmer is a different kind of
animal to what we are accustomed
to see in the rural districts of Lam
caster county. He is a colored far
mefy the owner Of 100 acres of land
that Sfiad been worn out and abandon
ed, similar to many acres you see
when you go out into the country.
His individual crop consisted. of two
or three acres, having been thor
oughly prepared, nos only for the
present crop, but for 10 or 10 years
previous. The gentleman WHO fur
nished me the information, visited
his farm several years ago in the
month of September about the time
it was taking on fruit. Now sit up
and take notice, Mr.. Farmer, for
here comes the most interesting part.
The land on which this cotton was
growing, had already grown the same
year a crop of oats and a crop of
corn. The oats were planted in
drills in five feet apart in October
previous year, and the time for
planting corn was before the oats
had matured, and was planted be-
tween the rows Of oats, making the
distance between the two crops two
and half feet. About the time, the
corn was ready for cultivation, the
oats had matured and were harvest
ed, making a yeild Of so to .75 bush
els per acre. After the oat crop was
removed. cotton was planted in the
same drill. The corn being an early
variety, matured before 1t shaded the
ground sufficiently to damage the
cotton. The corn yield was SO or go
bushels per acre In the month of
September the cotton, averaged five
feet and was we'll fruited and .bolls
very large The estimate, placed up
on@the crop was as follows:
Six-seyenths of stand, which would
be about 1900 stalks to the acre,
and could safely count on or 2h
bales per acre, and I was informed
later that the yield was very much
greater Oats were of superior
quality, one bundle containing 28S
straws bearing grain, and all sprung
from one kernel. ! think 1t safe to
say that the crop yielded so bushels
each OF corn and oats and two bales
or cotton per acre, making a total of
five bales of cotton, 1876 bushels of
corn and 125 bushels of oats. It Is
said the yield in some years doubled
the above. He also engaged in d.
versifed farming including live
stock and meat to sef1. I will state
also that he disposed of his cotton
| seed very readily at $4.0O per bush
ell, which would amount to $240 per
ton at the present price Of seed. You
can give the above to the public IL
you think it will be Of interest to
your numerous readers, II not drop
it in the basket.

Gratulate the men, not only on the
