THE NEWS AND HEBALD. STJ!P!PJjEMiLlTSrT. , - i UIZVOJ* jl y a ju rr a The farmers of this section are pret- j ty well through gathering their corn { which is about two-thirds of an aver- ' age crop. The pea crop is almost a failure. Cotton will be much shorter than was expected a month ago. Some few have sowed oats and wheat, and others are getting ready to sow. George Jeffries, colored, was found ; dead in the house of Francis Huse, ' colored, on Mr. B. A. Boulwaie's 1 place ou the night of the 17th inst. II. J. F. "W. Coleman, trial justice, summoned a jury and held an inquest. : Thejury rendered a verdict of "death ' from apoplexy." Mrs. C. W. Faucett, Jr., is very sick, and one of Mr. J. B. Crosby's children is lying very low. Mr. David Crosby, of Anderson, is visiting his relatves'in this section. Rev. J. D. Mahon preached a very interesting sermon at Cool Branch Sunday evening. Prof. E. R. Harris has a flourishing school at Cool Branch. Several students from Chester county are boarding in this neighborhood attending school. c. THE OATS CROP. Mr. Editor: Years ago, when Col. D. W. Aiken was or^anizinc orransres in South Carolina, I interviewed him particularly on the origin, peregrinations and adaptedness of red rustproof oats to our soil and climate. The following statements were given: A gentleman from South Carolina was traveling on horseback in Texas, and observing the fruitfulness of the plant in that region, brought home under him in his saddle-bags a small quantity, from the increase of which many in South Carolina and elsewhere were supplied. He also stated they came from Mexico into Texas, but did not claim to be familiar with their history beyond the Rio Grande. lie was not interrogated as to the placy from whence he received his first seed. It may have been from Georgia, or it may more probably have been from some one of those, in his own Slate, who were rapidly propagating this Yuiuauie ceieai. I see no necessity for its deterioration, either from oar soil or climate. Of late, there has been much passionate and unnecessary discussion indulged in concerning the theory of evolution.. Silence has not been maintained where science and revelation were reticent. Patience has not been exercised till scientists would determine the character or philosophic theories. Theologians have interpreted what revelation has not uttered. It is not now proposed to enter the ranks of these contestants. But the writer is clearly and decidedly committed to the development theory. Through neglect the intellect will rapidly d~etenorate; and under proper culture it will as rapidly improve. The delicious plum is developed from the bitter sloe by culture. The rich, mellow apple with its fragrance and sweetness had for its ancestor a sour crab, and the luscious Chinese cling, dripping with saccharine juice, in Persia, was a deadly..p?ison^--The world would be ? - full ot books if all the advantages of culture were written. Everywhere we find progress from culture, and deterioration from neglect. Our climate and soil are exactly adapted to the growth and improvement of oats, and their incalculable value as a grain and forage feed for stock should receive merited attention. As a feed for farm animals they are especially valuable. Containing a large element of lime, which makes bone and muscle, they are the best of food for draft stock. A fine saddlehorse should be fed on corn; it makes him so fat and sleek, and imparts to his hair such a glossy polish. This eminates mainly from the oil in the grain. But let every farmer see that his farm stock is abundantly supplied with oats teed. It is healthier, safer, better suited and cheaper. It takes as much labor to produce one bushel of ccrn as three of oats; and two bushels of oats will go as far in feeding as one of corn. Oats will grow moderately well on land that is not worth cultivaA T IT ~ llUg 111 cum. IT ii^Il UJC VitliUtV Ui oats bow under discussion was "first introduced into the State it did not yield well unless sown on fresh, rich, or fertilized soil. The thin lands produced grain moderately well, but the stalks were so short "they would fall through the fingers of an ordinary cradle aad could not be harvested. But oats, in common with many other plants, possess a vegetable instinct, which readily adapts them to their environments. Now this variety grows high enough to be harvested even though the land is pretty thin. By observing the following formula, seed oats will be infallibly protected against deterioration: Select from ' your farm a few acres that arc best : adapted to the growth of oats. If the Jand is not naturally rich fertilize it. If there is vegetable matter 011 it turn it over nicely when the first seeds begin to ripen. At the proper time . (date and season), put in the seed with ] a grain drill; then pass a heavy roller , over the surface. Before harvesting, j let the grain be fully matured. Out r>f thp r.hrnop of this rrnn sp?pr>t vnnr seed. Let this process be repeated every year, and my word for it, your seed instead of deteriorating will im- . prove, and you may confidently expect , remunerative crops every year, unless ] thwarted by causes against which . human ingenuity, industry and forethought cannnot provide.
