THE 16; -1889. 6 HOW TO SUCCEED IN FARMING. . - t . . -- - Mb. Editor: I have recently taken your paper and must say that I am pleased to see that you are doing so much for the great cause oi agricul ture. I have read numerous commu nications in your paper from mem bers of the Farmers' Alliance- in dif ferent parts of the South, and have attended several agricultural conven. tions at Raleigh and other places and have heard a great many speeches on agriculture. If you will perraitme, I desire to elaborate the subject some what differently from others that I have herd. Some of the orators in conventions attribute all the troubles of the far mer to the tariff, others to: the home stead, others to the bagging trust, sugar trust, meat trust, salt trust and all the various trusts that we hear of. Some writers in your paper .and other newspapers say that the farmer buys too much commercial fertilizer and fails to make home supplies. In read, ing Mr. Jones' report on labor statis tics from the farmers in North Caro lina, I was struck with, the diversity of opinion of the different farmers. None of them, seem to agree as to the cause of the agri cultural depression, nor do they agree as to the best way of removing the troubles. All of us will concede that the problem is a difficult one to solve, yet it seems to me that the suc cess of the farmer depends on thei leading qualifications industry, good management or judgment and econ omy. Whenever you see a farmer who has the industry to work, suffi cient judgment to direct that labor, and economy to take care of what he makes, he is very apt to be successful. Some persons say there is no money from farming in North Carolina. I think they are mistaken. I know two farmers who own land adjoining; the soil of both plantations is about the same; one makes money, the other does not. The tariff, the trusts and other incidental drawbacks affect both alike. "What is the cause of the dif ference ? The one has industry, good management and economy; the other has not. I see that one of your correspond, ents condemns the use of commercial fertilizers. He did not state his case properly. The reason so many fail to be benefitted by commercial fertilizers is that they do not understand how to use them.- They put them on land deficient in humus. All men must concede that farmers must have a superabundance of manure. Our lands are too much exhausted to cul tivate without a plenty of manure. We cannot farm on the intensive plan, cultivate less land and manure it heavily. Hands charge no more to work land highly manured than they do poor land. The great question is, how to get the manure. Farmers must make large quantities of domes tic manure and then supplement that with commercial fertilizers. In pass ing over our State you see numbers of farmers who own cows and turn them out on the range and never bring them up. The consequence is that they lose the manure and go to the merchant, mortgage their crops for guano at credit prices and then attribute all their troubles to the cor ner in meat, tariff, homestead, mort gage, trusts, etc. Of course these things diminish his profits to some ex tent; but if one farmer makes money in spite of all these troubles, another can, if not deficient in other qualifica tions. I have recently seen statistics to show that the farms in the North western States are covered over with mortgages. I presume that the cold weather is. the cause of it. The weather in North Carolina is warm and pleasant. My own hired hands have not lost over ten days from bad weather since the first dav of Januarv. With this great advantage, North darolina is destined to be a erreat agricultural State if the farmers will use the proper industry, good man agement and economy. Too many farmers are moving to the towns and villages and renting their lands to negroes. The colored tenants walk abont all winter and spring in idle security, make no domestic manure. raise no provisions and depend, on Western meat and corn to surrlv'.the wants of themselves and mules and buv cruano at credit orices to fertilizA J M. ' . their crops- Of course people who manage in that way will come to grief. . . , I saw a prosperous' farmer a few days ago bring some North .Carolina bacon to a store and exchange for - A T T tI. jS V sugai auu vu-u.ee. .l enquired OI mm how he made so much monev farm ing, when numbers of others could not make both ends meet ? He re plied that he penned his cows recm larlarly, like horses, and made large quantities of manure on his farm. He said further, that he bought some guano for cash to supplement home made manure; that he put the guano on land well supplied with vegetable matter, and put a plenty of home made manure on otlif.r land. "FT a said that he made enough corn and meat and some to spare to his needy neigh- v tt : j i- i uui8. j.o,iseu. iiia larm a large number of turkies. chickens and es. ' OO i enough with his corn and meat tosup- v-j mo xixmiiy m uuiuing, snoes, uOur, sugar and coffee, so that, fho nrktt, be made was entirely surplus. I made a few enquiries about his finances and was informed that he began since the war poor, but has' by now bought and paid for two good plantations. If all farmers will follow his example the "Old North State " will soon bloom like the morning rose. Duplin Farmeb. Your Committee on Cotton Bag ging beg leave to report, that the fol lowing resolutions express the senti ments of the Union County Alliance. Resolved. That we fully endorse the proceedings of the Birmingham Con ference of Farmers' Alliance and Agricultural Wheel as to covering for cotton bales and pledge ourselves to sustain the movement by all possible, honorable means. Resolved. That if we can possibly obtain it in sufficient quantity we will use bagging made of cotton, first of all, and second to this we will use any other material suitable rather than the jute bagging. Resolved, That every Alliance mem. ber in Union county shall be firmly bound by these resolutions without any further action on the part of the Sub Alliance. And any member wil fully violating these resolutions shall be euiltv of an offense against this order, and shall be susnded or expelled by his Sub-Alliance. Resolved. That the Secretary of this Alliance be instructed to send a copy of these resolutions to the Secretary of every Sub-Alliance of Uni6n county and to The Progressive Far mer. - R. P. Davis, Ch'n; A. W. McManus, T. E. Ash craft, Thos. C. Griffin, Committee. A LINE FROM CASWELL. Piney Grove Alliance, No. 7 62, July 6, 1889. Mr. Editor: A word for our Alli ance. We are progressing slowly, but firmly. We were organized May 5th, 1888, with eight charter mem bers. We have initiated 26 up to the present, which includes most of the material in the neighborhood. We have dimited seven males and dis missed three females to other Alli ances, for their convenience. At our election of officers, we elected the present incumbents with slight excep tions. We endorsed the action of the Birmingham convention without a dissenting voice. Hoping great suc cess to our order and that all the members thereof may be subscribers to our valuable paper, I remain Yours fraternally, Secretary. "DOUBTING THOMASES." Wadeville, N. C, July 9, '89. Mr. Editor : I will drop you a few lines, which may be of some in terest to the many readers of your valuable paper. I cannot boast of our Alliance, No. 212, like some of your correspondents do of theirs, but I can say this much for No. 212, that we have some of as true Alliance men as tread the soil of North Carolina. We have bu It a hall to hold our meetings in and have raised m cash and sub scriptions our quota of the State Agency .bund. While we have a number of drones in the hive, we have some true Alliance men who Ijave "hoisted their banners upon the pole of perseverance." Brethren, we have too many doubting Thomases in our organization, -and the better plan will be to get rid of them. I have had num bers of men, who have their- names on the Alliance roll, to ask me what I though the Alliance would be or do. My answer has invariably been. " it will be what we make it." Now. brethren, such members as these are not worth a bushel of guano, and I am sure I think as little of guano as any man in tne State. They joined the organization not to make it some thing, but for it to make them some thing. They expected -to get a sack of coffee and a barrel of sugar the first time they attended a meeting after joining and failed, and there fore became disheartened and began to abuse the Alliance brethren. We need not expect to be benefitted bv other professions in life; they may speaK nattenngiy and write with a pen of applause, yet I judge a tree by tne miit i. pears, vv e have enemies in sheeps clothing, and: the worst part aoout.it is, some manage to tret into me finance; ana;-Dretnren, one mis chievous" cow carr . spoil the whole flockl S6 let us be. more cautious about taking in members and tnm mii kfiose we already have ' in-- the orcani- zation who are not Alliance men in . - o deed and in truth. Corn crops are lookinsr well in this section. Wheat is trood. but a lot of it is damaged by the long wet spell. uotton is a failure. We have iust had a series of heavy rains, which nave put farmers badly behind with ineir farms. 1 want to ask one Ques tion, which I hope the President of the State Alliance will answer throno-h the columns of your paper. Does all larmers nave to have the same opin ion, on all political questions, to be true Alliance men. Some of our brethren advocate that doctrine. Success to The Progressive Far MER.
