OLINA That; many of the South Cardlrniana are very intelligent and extra good tarmers is beyond question. Thb facts giyen from time to time 'by the cbarles. ton JNews and. Courier -show this. To make a bale of cotton to the acrf is not .infrequent. ! Hecently a correspondent furnished it with many excellent ex amples that are at once encouraging and yet a reflection upon the farmers of others. Theyhow what' industry and tcj'U and judgment can accomplish', aiMtieyiebuke those Who cultivate with o lattle success and .show" such 'Poorj jfeturoai.;, The iNews- and ?purier said 'editorially of the , reports o! Marl boro county: ' , , " l, ' "Af tjer giving so long a list of men who bjaye made a bale, or more rthan a bale,1 tb the acre, on farms ranging from 72 to 370 acres.'pur correspondent states that - these aire net selected and excep tional leases, and that he could "greatly multiply" such examples without ex hausting their number! It is a remark able, sljowing, certainly, and it should ibe a most instructive one to all the un progreissive farmers in the state." The jfine reports vef-y extraoidinary mdeed are jnade more (astonishing when tve 1 earn' that he large crops were made fon common uplands that, pro duced 'but a ; few, hundred pounds of seed cotton per acre only a few years ago." j 'Let North Carolina cotton grow-. rs take- heed and learn Qsow ft was done. Send a committee to Marlboro o study the . situation and learn how. to groyr cotton, birhth profit. The! "Char- R. ii. Beu - !. j; lleston contemporary- says -well that there Is more in the man than in the land." . Tbe Marlboro men do not buy what "they consume but live at 'home making their own supplies. Pufc a pm right there.; There 4a an immense amount of "good I ihoss-sense" i in it. The following summary liv' the editorial of our contemporaTy 4s instructive,) It says that,! one of! tbe farmers "it 4s noted, made 400 bushels of corn at a cost of little more than 7 cents a bushel, and another made 300 tbusbels at a cost of 5 cents a bushel, xdlusive, of bire of mules, j Another! planted 300 acrtes in oats,' 'and nis "corn jand p6a crops were on the same scale. 1 And the disposition is 'general' in the county to reduce ithe cotton acreage and. increase the prcvi- ision crops, although so much attention has been paid to provision crops al ready." That is certainly a fine ob ) ectlve lesson. 'Wei imust j draw j some What upon the communication that ap pears in the News and Courier.
