A Successful Farmer.
The most successful farmer in North
Carolina is said to be Mr. T. J. King, n
bnchelor of thirty, residing at Louisbnrg.
He is called a book farmer, because he
uses his brains and scientific knowledge
in his business. In 1SS0 he produced
1,330 pounds linnt, three bales, on one
Mire, the largest yield ever known in the
tate. At one of our Piedmont exposi
tions his exhibit covered 1,000 square feet
of space, and included sixty varieties of
cum, thirty-four of cotton, forty-three
specimens of hay and grasses, ten" of to
bacco, ninety-six specimens of garden
crops, twenty-two kjnds of wine, 150
jars of preserves, jellies, etc., with many
yarietie-s of wheat, oats, peas, and pota
toes. He was the youngest exhibitor at
the exposition, and won the first prize on
several ot nis exmnits.
- The New York Sun of a few days ago
has an Interesting article upon the agri
cultural depression in Great Britain.
The tlgtires are given and the decline of
agriculture in England appears from
them to have borne a close relation,
through recent years, injthe degree of its
progress, to that in the United State--.
The whole world seems to be down with
the same complaintfarmers' profits de
creasing und the value of farming hinds
depreciating. The complaint is confined
to no country nor to any particular sec
tion of anv. The farmer on the fertile
plains of Kansas howls as loud as his
brother on the red hilli of North Caro
lina. The more rapidly, the world in
creases its population; the more mouths
there are to be fed; the more manufact
ures multiply Tuid the more customers
the farmer finds for his products, the
lower the prices sink and the poorer he
eret. here is the wise man, asks the
