^???W?.*mLI l-WJI The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, July 5, 1904-. Lands and Farming. The Carolina Sr>artanIn a conversation with E D Smith, of Lynchburg, S. C, recently he said that the oat crop of Hs county W8B very fine. There v 9 no limit to the amount that could be raised. C E. Smith, living near Glenn SpriDgs, in Spartanburg county, thinks he will make 25 to 35 bushels to the acre this year. We state these facts as a ^ basis for an exhortation. Settled f plans and principles apply to agriculture as well as to any business. The owner of a rice farm should stick - " a :? to nee ana not attempt, tu im;bc euian grain on the alluvial soil of the coast region. Oo first cla83 cotton lands cotton should be the main crop, whether it is 7 to 1*2 cents. But in the Piedmont country products should be suited to the soil. Corn, small grain, potatoes and cotton do equally well. Then the farmer should rotate his crops and raise all these things, making cotton the surplus cr money crop. There should be two objects in sowing small grain, the improvement of the soil and a large yield. On many farms there are acres of land that, unaided by fertilizers, will not produce ten bu&kels of corn or 400 pounds of seed cotton to the acre. That will get poorer and poorer by constant cropping. The first obiecfc of the farmer should be to im ~ " 0 prove such land by sowing small grain. Sow rye early in September. Now rye is net a fertilizer, but it keeps land from washing and adds humus to it. Follow that with peas, either ' planted or sown. If small grain and peas are not cut and taken from the land, two years sowing in rye and peas, with breaking the land ten incheB deep, will prepare it for any sort of crop. The poorest land in the State can be greatly improved at a small outlay of mooey in that way. It is the quickest way possible to improve poor, worn cut lands. After lands have been thus improved one should work for a large crop, never forgetting that he must add more to his soil thau he takes from it. Piedmont land properly improved and fertilized will produce 30 bushels of wheat, or 50 bushels of oato to tha That means an VOIO W vww MV*V ? abundance of vegetable matter, plowing by degrees 9 to 12 inches deep, the judicious application of $1 to $6 worth of fertilizer to the acre. Such crops may be raised in any of our wheat counties. The same treatment of land will make a large yield of tats. Follow these small grain crops with peas and the yield of corn and cotton the next year will surprise you. We know that there is not a fortune in raising wheat that will cost 50 to 70 cents a bushel and oatB that will cost 25 to 30 cents, but there is great comfort to be derived from raising the value of land from $6 to $40 an acre. That is what the improvement of the soil wjll do. Another advantage, and a very great one, is that by the sowing of small grain and peas, crab grass will be killed out so that it will not take the crops of corn and peas.

The Unrestricted Dram. | To tbe Editor of the Dispatch: We hear a great deal about trusts , and monopolies in other places and j our papers are sometimes loaded i down with such information, but we j have monopolies and trusts at home j to contend with and fight against, and our own liberties and rights have been taken one by one, till we have I only tbe name left. We will soon be I entirely the servants and slaves of ; our officers when our law intends i them to be our servants. I want to say this to all tbe candi1 dates for the Legislature, no one can ! get my vets unless be will promise j sacredly to return some of our lost ; estate and stolen rights already j taken from us by fraud, and use his ! influence to pass a law to give eacb i free citizen the right to keep or make as much as ten gallons of wine or ! whiskey for his own home use and ! consumption undisturbed by the j official burglars. I think now it is high time to stop ! and unload much of this worthless I rubbish on our political carryall and return to the simplicity of our grand ! old fathers and I think our teams j will move on better and not jade so ; soon when much of it is thrown off, I and I know I will feel better, and i I feel more like I live in a country that ; did own some rights and hope some j day to see my country redeem its j character and reputation of what our I fathers did give it. and I mean all I t m j say. tte have been robbed long j enough.
