A Philosopher Who is Also a Farmer, a New Comer to Our State, Writes a Thought f ul Article. EDITOR ADVERTISER: For any unselfish mau feeling himself above bowing to ? money god, or not solely bent upon avarice, to tear away from old associates and friends, with a tolerably clear com prehension of individual duty to society, and to settle i:i \our State where he is disfranchised during two or three years, is sufficient to cause the blues. But since being informed by "Uncle Ben" that Blue Branch near him will drive away the blues, I take courage and I may be pardoned for the thought that one public duty is to write you again. I eee that I have cast my lot in a very good farm community with a fair average farm citizenship; some of my neighbors express it as "in God's ountry." I feel that with the numerous churches and Sunday schools we have among us God most surely does not disown the Chotee section of old Edge field. This section, like other farm communities, at present is driving away any misapprehensions of fu ture fiuance&c, of county, state or national government, with ,?lt-n ty of faithful hard , licks against grass, aud for the "touchups" to money crop as well as to the hom iny crop for hog and man. Yes these touchups" to the growing crops where the grass is about sub dued afford the genuine farmer much inspiration to labor on through these hot long days with out a murmur, because he is con scious thot he is a factor accom plishing something. One year ago a friend who came , in at noon plainly wearied almost , to exhaustion, surprised me by jumping up popping his heels to gether and exclaiming UI do love to plow to kill the grass and to see the crop grow." He realized that be was thus a conqueror and ben efactor, and no doubt enjoyed to some extent the reflex honor and influence of t*uch characters. The surroundings of the farmer are ' well calculated to develop indi viduality of character. Human ef forts become higher and better , when feeling an individuality and repponsibiliry. Such appreciation adds greatly to the moral force of communities without which real true prosperity is impossible. Yes, every one feels that be has some duties which be owes the public and society, but it is not always clear to him how or when to per form chem. Yet every farmer serves uociety when preserving the soil under his charge. Like my friend above, by taking a lively in terest in what we are doing we are entertained and the more inter ested even while at hard work. No man can be a good servant and fe?l the pleasure that is due him in that service unless he takes an interest in his work. No one can appreciate the many resources of the farm home or comprehend the leaks that destroy those re sources unl?s's he takes a pride in his avocation es farmer. Having a pride in our labors we increase our efforts more faithfully to accom plish better results which iu turu give us more satisfaction. Let this spirit possess the laborer, crop per, tenant, employer or landowner and they will exert themselves more to avoid some of the serious 1 draw-Lacks on the farra. All will be more impressed that the many gullies, sunbaked, plow, or wash-exhausted spots present a very unpleasant sight in viewing the crop over, aud aro a source of i many hard licks to no profit. On most of such spots the yield is not equal to the manure and seed used much less giving a return for the work done, tilling the cotton crop. This fact, recognized by the inter ested and intelligent to such au extet.t as to cause a lopping off 1 these spots, would be of great value i to the country; for while these spots are worked nt a loss to the producer they increase the general cotton crop many bales thereby pw 3Mun ? Vr?',;-. ?is,, 'teat*. tending to lower prices. I am con vinced that at least one-fifth of the area no/v planted in cotton will n<)t yield in a good average season of <?ght cent cotton a return ol" two dollars monthly wages, and a great many spots uot eufticient to feed the workers thc time employed tilling them. Then turn out these 6pots to recu;ier?tH looking well to the washes, or plant them in a ren ovating crop and put brush in the gullies, About one-half the time spent working these i:? cotton would fill the gullies and plant the renovating crops &c. Our fathers and grandfathers made au ample living cn the farm, but on fresh soils. Otheis now who have fresh lands :lo the same, provided the areas now being cleared are not naturally devoid ot humus. How to have again the fresh soils like our fathers had, how to avoid working non-paying spots, bow best to check the gul lies and assist nature io her never ceasing efforts at recuperation of exhausted spots and filling the ug ly washes, are burning questions worthy of consideration by every one living on the farm, yes con stant persevering consideration.
