lN-as With Corn and Oats \V it It Cotton. *
I
As a rule, one crop on the ground :
at a time is enough, and all crowding
is unprofitable. As a partial excep- ( 1
tion, we advise peas with corn, and
in some cases, the small grains with
I cotton, as they make most of their 1
I growth after the original crop has j
ceased to require the soil, ami w<> 1
peat here instructions given last year
on this point: "Oats may he sown at
the last working ot the cotton, no extra
labor being Jreqnired except lite
broadcasting of I ho seed between the
rows, in advance of the ploughs; but
oats sown so early in the season 10|
quire to be fed* olV before the linal ]
picking of the cotton, to prevent them 1
from prematurely throwing up the
seed stem. JSheep do this work with
great benefit to themselves and with
no damage to the cotton, provided, of
course, that they are turned out as
soon as the oats are well cropped.
Wheat sown later requires to be. oov- ;
ered with the plough or cultivator.
i During the winter the cotton stalks
must he broken down, when the era in
will have full possession of the field.
This plan has been found to work
well, when the land has been in good
condition and is worthy of a more
extensive trial, where labor and mulepower
are scarce; but it does not permit
that thorough preparation of the
land necessary to the best results in
small grain culture."

Cabbage and their Ihicmh s.
Lice, several species of worms and !
"big-root," or club-foot, are the prim i
pal posts with which we have t<? deal
in the cabbage patch. The li<*e are
killed by soot and ashes, and doubtless,
by other applications, but it is!
di(lieuIt. to get iul of them, as all t annot
easily be reached by our remedies,
and the few that, may remain soon
again cover the plants with their rapid
multiplication. Painstaking an I perseverance,
however, will save the
plants. Then come the worms. We
entrap and kill them by laying a fresh
cabbage leal on the lop of the plant at
night, to be examined the in >:t morning,
when most of the worms will he
i found on the underside of it and can
be readily killed. A correspondent
of the "New Fnglund Fanner" deals
with them in another way: lie gets
half a pound of saltpetre and onefourth
ot a pound ot copperas, and
dissolves it in a half hogshead ot writer,
and as soon as the hutterlly which
lays the egg lor the worm appears, he
waters the plants with the solution,
repeating the operation alter each raid
oi the insects By this means lie
saves his cabbages, or at least be
thinks so. With club-foot we have
110 experience, whether because we
always give our cabbage bed a good ^
dressing of salt and lime, or from
some other cause, we do not know.
Wetting t ie roots and then dressing
I
them with bone meal before planting
is said to be a preventive; so is a teaspoon
fill of caustic lime, applied by 1
removing a little earth from around
the plant, putting on the. lime, and
then replacing it. Club-fool is caused
by an insect.

Paris green was tested <|uito extensively
last year and in not u single ,
ins',aneo whore every thing was known ,
te be right, have 1 heard of a failure, l
A lew persons claimed that the eo:n- .
pound damaged their crop, while t
others reported that it worked no par- ,
tieular good. In the tirst named it f
is highly probable that too large a
portion of the Paris green was used, |
and m the second too small, or the ,
quantities ol a heavily-adulterated [
article were oflercd for sale 111 my own
city of Mobile, and 1 have no doubt it {
was the same in other places.
All tlirough iho caterpillar season of .

to the test in various ways, and the
result has convinced mo that we may ,
save our cotton by the use of Paris l
green. And I hope our planters will j
not hesitate to try it. There is no
patent on the process?tho patents in
vogue are on certain compounds as t
"YViscnant's Caterpillar Destroyer," r
and the like. Our planters may buy h
these, if they feel so disposed, but for ..
my part I want nothing hotter than v,
good Paris green and Hour in the v

any other fine material will answer in t
the place of the Hour, as it is used t
simply to spread the Paris green and '1
reduce its strength. For a duster, 1 l

A Popular -Mistake.
[ \u;,:ust;i Chronicle ami Sentinel]
It is a very popular mistake to suppose
that all llie cotton in the South
is made by negroes. This opinion is
not only prevolont universally ul the
North, l?ut to a very great extent at
the South. Hefore the war nearly all
the cotton was made by slave labor,
but this is not so now. Thousands of
white men, all over the South, have
gone into the cotton llehls since the
war, and have labored failhtully lor
I ho production o! cotton. This opinion
is supported by an article bolore
us lrom t lie Memphis .1 /'/< <P, in which
it is stated that a greater part ot the
cotton shipped to Memphis is raised
by white labor. The .Mobile /ui/ister
asserts that "the great cotton region
ol Alabama is cursed with African
labor, which has destroyed the production
of cotton upon the richest
lands of the South. The Appeal
states, that "while the production ol
cotton has been linromuuerativo in a
largo portion ol the negro States, it
has been highly profitable and greatly
expanded in the while States. The
acreage which the negro has paralyzed
in Middle Alabama, tieorgia, Louisaina
and Mississippi, lias been subsu
luted by ,1 greater acreage in Tennessee,
Arkansas, North Texas, the
Indian Territory, and even Smith
Missouri."
There is no doubt as to the falling
oil'in the production of cotton in certain
sections worked exclusively by
negro labor. While this is true, it is
easy to tind the cause. The negro
has been led into idleness by being
dragged into polities. In the black
belt ol Alabama, as shown by the receipts
tit Mobile, Kelma and Montgomery,
the tailing off has been overbalanced
by increased receipts at other
points, showing that white labor lias
entered largely into the production of
cotton?.Saint Louis has received a
juarter ol a million bales front the
white counties ot North Arkansas,
South Missouri and North Texas. In
M issouri, North Arkansas, Tennessee
and North Texas white labor works
the cotton fields. In our own Slate,
in North Georgia, along the line ol
the Air Line Koad, cotton production
is on the increase. During 1873 the
receipts of cotton at. Atlanta were
Jh,'.ilO hales. This year the receipts
were 5 1,880? nearly an increase of 00
percent-. This cotton was produced
hy white labor. In the upper counties
of South anil North Carolina
white labor is forced by necessity into
the production of cotton. Small
[ariuers find it remunerative* They
raise their own supplies, and in this
way make it remunerative.

In Louisiana, too, we mark fresh
outbursts of violence and rapine troin
the mongrel State (iovornment; and
tlie poor taxpaying whites arc, iti pure

resist the spoilers by every means, |
liL^litin*^ included. Men of all the old J
parties and factions, counting in the
two Itepublican varieties, are joinii.;
this corp.51, and they mean business.
The (iovernnient of the State is rotten
and infamous from end to end.
The Lesisla'lire is a gang of black and
white thieves, with a small sprinkling
of honest men, powerless to stay the
corruption, and only showing it up in '
a bolder relief, .fudges can be bought '
for a peck of potatoes. Juries are till
packed. Ln all the branches of government
there is ti de-perate contest
to see who cah control (which iscguivalent
to stealing) the largest share ol
the public funds. *1 hese eieatures are |
perfectly willing to turn Louisiana into
a swamp or a. wilderness, so long as
they can fill their pouches and get
away in safety from the scene <>f devastation.
The recent, overflow of
large districts and terrible loss of life
and property are attributable to the
theft ol millions of dollars which
should have gone to the making of
strong levees. The people ol the

tin1 holiest white men of the Stale now

overthrow of their oppressors. Frien '.s
ol peace must deeply regret the ap;
pearancc ol any signs of impending
! war of races, such as is ollercd V?y the
organization ol whiles against blacks.
Hut it is said there may he no other
mode of self defence, except a pledged
and thorough union ol the victims
against the tyrants. The negroes cannot
protest against a new party based
j on complexion alone, lbr they have
Jong been banded and sworn together.
At this distance it is very hard to
make our advice lit the case, but it
does seem to us that the new organization
ol whites should be made as little
t!ireat< ning as possible. While fully
prepared to defend themselves in their
rights?and maintaining a firm and
bold altitude?tbey should use their
money and influence, diplomatically,
to split the black party in twain. They
should divide and eonijucr. Cash and
tact ought to do this, .vithout using
t y ? I
ciiii'T lor illegitimate purposes. line
and there, I here must be an olliehil not
wdiol'y corrupted who could be brought
over to the reform side; and the moment
the movement looks strong,
many of llio.se now barbing the thieves
may be expected to join it. This plan
OUlllanhs the'enemy, and forces him to
ret reat without a collision. In I his
work of reform no tools should be despised,
but all accepted who can in I
any way advance it; and above all
things, we repeat, the negroes should
be taken as allies and fairly treated.
Unless the taxpayers of Louisiana aie
ready to attach t he better class of negroes
to their side, we fear that little
good will come of all their concerted
dibits. A work .similar in some respects
is developing itself in South
Carolina. Them it lakes the name of
" Tax Unions." Ill odject is declared j
to he the. reduction of taxation, and |
the honest appropriation and expenditure
of t he public funds. The consti- (
tuiion of the order has not a word i
about white or black; and a black
taxpayer could join it il he pleased; i
though such a phenomenon would be j ,
difficult to find because there are no i
negroes who own land (for some of I
them have large, fine farms, bought at 1
forced sales.) but because blacks rule
and whites only arc desnoiled. Tiiciv i
* I '
is a Slate Union, with brunches in
every county, and subordinate unions
in towns, villages and bandets. Tiie
. . 1
idea is to bring in every taxpayer in ,
the State, and to weld them all as a i
solid body lor the common good. 1
Their voto will tell in some locations, (
but will have noefVecl in Slate elections. ,
