There 1* a guod deal of good farming
done In the United Stale*, and there
la a good deal of bad farming, more
bad than good. The had I* the role,
the good the exoaptkm. An average
yield of about twelve buahvla of wheit
to the acre, and of lea* than twenty
bethel* of corn, doe* not aay mock for
average American farming. Nor doe*
one-third of a bale of cotton to the
acre, aay muoh for the average cotton
grower. It la the misfortune of the
American fanner, North and South,
that he ‘per*1*1* In cultivating too
waoh land, that la If akloolng the aur
face oau u* called cultivating, instead
or taking ooe-hair or one-third the
number of nerve, and getting twloe or
three time* as mnoh nut of them.
The Invention and Introduction of
labor-saving machinery has bad much
to do with this. for It has enabled the
farmer to plow arxj pUnt three or four
times aa much land as ha could plow,
plant and harvest without such
machinery. Dut this machinery ia
designed for quick work, rather than
for good work and therefor* meoh
work 1* dona wltb It that I* not well
done, and that It war* really better If
not done at all.
Kverynrre planted which does not
ret ore a fair yield of that In which It
Is planted la that much additional tax
■in Ilia planter and (hat muoii money
taken oat of tile pocket, although lie
may not fetJlM It, It costa almost as
much to oultlvate (although this la tbs
wrong word) an acre of ground which
pvoduoas tweiva bushels of wheat or a
third of a bale of cotton as It dors so
acre which will produoe twenty-five
bashela or mors of wheat or one bale
or mosa of 00U00. if aa oueli can be
produced from fifty acres cultivate
with lateUlgaot method as oau ba
rmiand upon one hundred In the usual
slipshod way. Isn’t It a waste of land,
time, money and labor to cultivate the
addltlossl tfljf What would be the
thought of the farmer who would keep
a half dooen rueu to do tin work
which could be as well or better done
with a onuptn horse* or mules and
many His business sense would be
condemned at once. Bet In what
would that differ from working three
acres of lead to gat arhat oould ba got
ten from one? Working three acres
mesne three times as much work and
oxpeosa aa tba one sera and keeping a
half dnarn work animals and mvo to
dn the work of taro means juat that
much nmra expense than necessary.
That's all. No wonder the farmer
who raises tweiva bushels of wheat to
the acre stare* ruin in the faee with
wfaeal at fifty cents a bushel, and no
wonder tbe oottoa planter wbo gets
only a lldrd of a bale of five cent cot
ton to tbe acre does likewise.
It tbe wheat laud or lbs cotton land
au* capable of produotng no morn
than this, tbe farmer coo It] do no ' bet
ter, and that would bn the and of it,
bet there Is not an acre of land sown
in wheat or planted In cotton that
can't do better than this If treated
lightly, and wish as much sense as the
man in aay other busineea would have
to SbOW to succeed.
The average land, with the ordinary
oultlvatlnn of tbe day, will wrar out
In a few yearn, unless it la fed and
nourished. Lend which la weak may
he made strong and fertile by proper
feeding and nourishing. IV* have
seen In this and other sections thous
ands of aorte wtdeb once yielded gen
erously reduced to a o-xidittnn of
sterility and abandoned aa worn out
and we have even some of that same
land io tbe banJe of intelligent, tadus
triouf men. with [toper nursing,
brought beck to more than Its original
fertility, and made to yield wtuU
would be called In this or any other
section marvelous crop*.
Reduction of acreage li * present
necessity to save tha cotton-growers
from rain, but with reduet (on of
acrssgs thaw most be diversity of
crops. Tbs horn* supplies must be
raised on the farm, for If tiiey are not
it Will taka more than the increased
prlowof eotton with a owe-thlrd red no
tion in the output to bay their aup
pliea, »o that tha eottoc grower would
not be much better off than he la now.
With tb* reduction of acreage should
come Intensified tanning, (which la
simply another same for good farm
ing,) that la so cultivating the land aa
to get tha greatest possible yield from
IL Tbla reduce* tbe oost of prod no
tton and enables tbe producer tire
better to stand low prior*.
Wa read a statement a few days ago
where a Mississippi planter got thirty
bale* of eotton from thirty acres of
land. II* kept an noeouot with hla
cotton laid and found that It ocst him
If cant* a pound to produce those ttili ty
bate*. lie could afford to aell tha
eottoc for fly* cents a pound and than
asakea reasonable prodt on It Ha
cleared about **» on hla thirty acre*,
not omiotlug tha teed, area an tha
low price of fly* eanta a pound,
But to emno nearer borne for an
Illustration. A young farmer named
IXmgiaae. to M set Wo burg county,
concluded Wat year that b* wo a Id do
auaaa expert a. anting In Intenatged
farming. In 18M ha pleated thirteen
acre* lu action, oak I sited hi tha naual
way. sad got six bales of ootton from
the thirteen tore*, la it year he eoo
eladad to saa what a change of method
would do, and laid off litre* acraa of
thlrtaoa, cultivated these after tha
Intensified matliod, and harvested four
hale* of eotton from lie three acres.
Another acre so oalllrsted would bay*
grown Mm nearly aa much aa ha got
from Uie thirteen acres the year b*
fore. Owe fact la worth a ton of
theory, and hew I* tha fact, that tha
yield was more than doubted In on*
war by tatter and snare aansfhl* farm

If that young man doesn't enltlyate
