POSSIBILITIES OF AN ACRE.
One of York County's Foremost Farmers
Believes There is No Limit.
Yorkvi?le Enquirer.
How much cotton or corn can be
raised on an acre of land? That is a
question that gives the average farmer
but little concern. As a rule, he fig
ures that land is cheap, and the quan
tity of produce that can be raised on
an aore is a small matter. Rather
than increase the productiveness of an
acre, he prefers to increase the num
ber of acres. That this, however, is a
losing game, all of the more advanced
farmers are now fully satisfied, and
probably no man in this county or
even in the State, has made more
Lcadway in this direction than Major
A. H. White, of Rock Hill.
A representative of The Enquirer
went to see Major White recently for
the express purpose of getting some
reliable information on this interesting
subject. The major was at home. It
developed that this very matter is the
hobby of his life, and during a pleas
ant drive over a well arranged farm,
that was at the time being carefully
prepared for various crops, the news
paper man was treated to some pearls
of experience that are well worth the
careful study of all farmers who may
not have given the subjects dis
cussed the same amount of study on
their own responsibility.
"What was the most profitable crop
you ever raised, major?" was one of
the questions asked.
"An oat crop, in 1884," was the
unhesitating reply. "It was on afield
of sixteen acres. I followed an oat
crop in 1882 with peas. In 1883 I
planted cotton, and at the last plow
ing of the cotton, during the second
week in August, I sowed oats. On
the sixteen acres I made 1,012 bushels
of oats, for which I received 75 cents
a bushel, and it was all profit. I sold
one-half of the straw for enough to
pay all expenses. Exclusive of the
other half of the straw, which was
clear, my profits amounted to $47.23
an acre. That was about the most
profitable crop I ever made."
"Now, I would like you to tell me
about your big cotton crop of 1894."
"That is rather an old story. It
has already been printed once or twice.
The crop was twenty-two bales on
twelve acres. The land was in good
fix to start with. In fact it is my
rule to see to it that my land is in
better fix when a crop comes off than
when the crop went on. That year,
the only fertilizer I used was three
two-horse loads of stable manure to
the acre. The bales averaged 460
pounds, and I sold the cotton some at
61 and some at 9 cents. A careful
calculation of all expenses, exclusive
of interest on land, stock, tools, etc.,
developed that the cost of the crop
will not exceed 2\ cents a pound. I
made no estimate, of course, as to the
value of the fertilizers in the soil
when I commenced, but as is my in
variable rule, I estimated the value of
the seed planted at 50 cents a bushel."
"Isn't 50 cents a bushel rather high
for cotton seed?"
"That is what mine are worth, and
if I can't get it I don't sell them."
"You must have a fine variety of
seed. What is it?"
"I call my seed 'White's Improved,'
and I think they are as fine as any
other variety known. I have been
working on them for more than a dozen
years. I make it a rule to go out into
the cotton field every fall, when the
crop is at its very best, select with
the greatest care and pick enough cot
ton to yield two bushels of seed.
These I always plant on a separate
acre, and the next year select from it.
I started originally with what was
known as Thomas seed, but they are
now very muoh improved."
In answer to another question on
the same line, Major White said that
he did the same thing with corn. He
has two varieties, one white and the
other yellow. The white variety is
from an ear that was sent to him by a
friend in 1877. He has been improv
ing it every year. It is his custom
to select the top ear from stalks hav
ing two good, healthy ears, plant the
select corn on a -separate acre, and
then'plant the main crop from seed off
that acre. It has been improved to
such a point that 100 pounds on the
cob will net 90 pounds of shelled corn
and the grain averages 63 pounds to
the bushel, struck measure. The
standard weight of a bushel, it will be
remembered, is 56 pounds. The next
inquiry of Major White was intended
to bring out his views with regard to
fertilizers.
"I believe in commercial fertilizers,"
said Major White, unhesitatingly,
"and I believe that the high est priced
O'0ods are the cheapest; but my ex
perience in this direction is not worth
a great deal. I fertilize mostly with
stable manure and cotton seed. Cot
ton seed is always a good investment.
No matter how much you use, you
will find it profitable; but you can't
tell exactly how much they are worth.
It takes something like three years
before you can get all there is in them,
though they will pay even the first
year. However, with me, stable ma
nure ranks ahead of anything else.
I buy all I can get at $2 a load, about
a ton to the load. It will do for any
kind of a crop and invariably makes
the land better. In my opinion it is
the very best fertilizer known, as
well as the cheapest. Like cotton
seed, it is complete in itself, and
when you mix the two, you have a
very near approach to perfection." 1
"Now, major, just one more ques-'
tion. In your opinion, how much
cotton is it. possible to grow on an
acre?"
Major White grew still more inter
ested in. the conversation. The sub
ject was one to which he had evident
ly given a great deal of careful thought,
and the facts and figures were ready
on the tip of his tongue.
"That is a matter about which we
can only speculate," he began. "No
man can tell the possibilities of an
acre. Take York county over, for in
stance, and the average is about a
third of a bale to the acre. My crop
of 1894 was six times that. If it is
possible to go six times over the aver
age, why is it not possible to go twelve
times? But take it this way: As
much a? two pounds have teen made
on a stalk. With the stalks three feet
apart, you have room on an acre for
,900 6talks. A stalk two feet high
is capable of carrying two pounds, and
suppose each of the 4,900 stalks could
be made to yield that much? Or take
another way. It is generally as
umed that a boll to the stalk means
lOu pounds to the acre; two bolls, 200
pounds, and so on. I have raised
talks that contained 160 bolls. How
much will that be? No, I cannot tell
ou as to the possibilities of an acre;
but I can tell you this, I don't think
that any of us have ever approached
, and between what has been and
hat can be done there ib room for
some powerful big crops."
Major White went o:i to say that
the question presents a number of
problems that he has as yet been un
able to solve. While he has seen 160
bolls to the stalk, he has never seen
such an average on any considerable
number of stalks together, and whether
one stalk necessarily ta^gsfrom others
or all can bo made tq yield in tho
same proportion, is a question that he
cannot answer. The fact that there
are also good and bad cotton years is
also a matter that cannot be disputed,
and no matter what the fertilization
and cultivation, it is out of the ques
tion to expect as good results in a
"miss" as in a "hit" year.
Although Major White is a man of
large means and an enthusiastic farmer,
let no one take up the idea that he
farms for fun. He is thoroughly
practical, and he recognizes that above
all things else, the most important
feature of any crop is the margin of
clear profit. He works on the wage
system alone, requiring his employees
to obey his orders with strict precision,
and in proportion to the amount of
actual money invested in his opera
tions realizes as much profitas is real
ized by any other business man in the
county. This fact is especially men
tioned because so many farmers will
be disposed to ignore the lesson that
the major is teaching on account of
the inequalities occasioned by the
means at his disposal. It is true that
this is an advantage; but in this case
it seems that it is not an unmixed
one. As he has been situated for
years, Major v'hite is able to give
only about one-third of his timo to
farming, other business interests take
up the balance of hi'' time. Having
accomplished this under the circum
stances, what could he do if he could
give his entire attention to his farm?
Farming in China.
A Mongolian farmer has a small
field of five or ten acres. Upon thi?
he must support himself, his wives
and chrildren and put something by
for a rainy day. His estate is a sandy
plain which slopes from one end to the
other. His first step is to divide it
into counterparts by raising low walls
or partitions of clay. They are usual
ly 1? feet thick and 2 feet high.
Where it is difficult to get clay he
constructs the wall of the stones he
finds in the soil or of broken bricks
tiles and stops up the crevices with
clay or even mud. Any form of soil
excepting sand is used in this manner.
So far do they go that I have seen
them gathering the ooze, bared by the
low tide, to build the walls with. In
each little compartment he builds a
ditch in front of the lower wall, and
at the corner of the compartment he
lowers the wall somewhat for the water
to flow from one compartment into the
next adjoining. When it rains, the
compartments fill, and the entire field
looks like a lot of panes of glass ; the
water soaks slowly into the soil and
keeps the ground moist enough for
agricultural and horticultural purposes
for several months. Where the rain
fall is but slight he digs a well at a
point selected by an astrologer. This
individual is a bankrupt or dissipated
scholar or priest, who ha3 lost caste
by reason of his infirmities and makes
a living more or less precarious by
astrology, fortune telling, selecting
graves, finding subterranean water and
similar superstitional occupations.
He bears a striking resemblance to
the soothsayers and witches of our
own history. Like them, he employs
a dividing rod and some arrangement
in crystal which is supposed to be
come cloudy when water is near. His
charge for indicating the place where a
well will be successful varies from 10
cents to 50cents, and if his client se
cures an extra large supply he demands
and receives a bonus of the same
amount. These contrivances nine
times out of ten do their business
well. Some go to great depths. It
was from these deep pits that France
and ourselves first derived the idea of
the artesian well.
Water once reached, the farm labor
starts to keep on forever. Some one
of the family is always at the well,
raising the precious fluid to the sur
face. It runs by a little canal to the
top compartment and thence trickles
through the e:atire field. When men
and women work at it, they use a
large measure, which brings up about
five gallons every time. When little
children do the labor, a smaller
measure, one that seldom exceeds a
gallon, is utied instead. Oxen are
sometimes employed, but engines,
windmills and other labor saving con
trivances are never seen. The most
patient animal in the world, the
human being, does nearly all the work.
In Tong-anJ once ran- across a queer
machine - for sending water over the
terraces from these wells. This was a
large wooden X, which was whirled
around by a combiaation of wire and
string, something after the fashion of
a Chinese top. This was kept run
ning all day long by being tied to the
great toes of several Chinese women,
who sat upon the grass knitting and
nursing their babies at the same
time.
Chinese are large employers of stor
age reservoirs. These are not made
according to the rules of engineering,
but of brute necessity. They are
usually hollows which are walled up
with earth excavated from their bot
tom, or else marses or the the dry beds
of marshes which are similarly en
larged and confined, and in some cases
small valleys in which a retaining wall
has been thrown up across its mouth.
The imperial law favors to the utmost
the use of water for irrigation by the
farmer and discountenances any inter
ference b> middlemen or private capi
tal. The streams, no matter whether
navigable, the ponds and lakes are all
government property and cannot be
alienated. At the furthest, the pri
vate individual can only lease the land
beneath the water,*with the condition
that the government can at any time
enter in and take possession of the
property upon paying him for any im
provement he may have made.
? A lawyer in Ireland sent a letter
to a Chicago mechanic, informing the
latter that he was heir to an estate
worth fifteen million dollars. In a
postscript the lawyer asked for a fee
of two hundred and fifty dollars, to
investigate further. The mechanic
directed the lawyer to sell the estate,
and keep a million for his fee.
? French women often collect all
the fruit stones that come in their way
during the summer?cherry, plum,
I peach and apricot stones. They are
washed and boiled in clean water,
dried in the sun, and put into chintz
or printed linen bags. When hot ap
plications are required for tooth or
earache or rheumatic pains, one of
these bags is made thoroughly hot in
the oven and laid on the affected part.
A bag of fruit stones, thus heated, is
good for cold feet. The stones give a
pleasant, spicy scent, and retain the
caloric for a long time.
? The Gaylord Herald wound up a
compliment to a young school ma'am
with a good word about "the reputa
tion for teaching she bears." The
next day the school ma'am met the
editor and chased him down the street
with a blue umbrella, and every jump
in the road she screamed that she had
never taught a she bear in all her life.

Brsathed Smoke of War.
Few American women have had
th'?ir lives bo crowded with dramatic
incidents as Mrs. Alexander Forsythe,
of Chicago, sister of Gen. John Morgan,
whose daring raid made him conspicu
ous on tHO continents.
For four years Mrs. Forsythe lived
under the smoke of the cannon, being
a soldier's wife who went through the
entire war with her husband. Thrice
wedded and thrice widow ,d, twice the
mother of a posthumous child and
again on the last day of the war left
desolate with a tiny babe in her arms,
her expedience as wife and mother,
says the Chicago News, is almost un
precedented.
After the death of her first husbaud,
Calvin MoClung, she married Gen. A.
P. Hill, one of the most distinguished
generals in the Confederate army, a
man whose name was on the dying
lips of Stonewall Jackson and Robert
E. Lee. As a bride she went to the
front with her hnsband and was actively
interested in his company, the Invin
cibles, l;!th Virginia, Among other
things sho presented the company with
a handsome silk flag, but during an
engagement the color-bearer's arm was
shot off, and the flag, gripped in the
bloody hand, was captured by a Union
soldier. Mrs. hill promptly made an
other and it is now hanging in the
White House at Richmond. Gen.
Hill was killed the last day of the war
at the fall of Petersburg. Gen. Lee
made a charge and recovered his body,
and a few moments after the general
had parted from his wife he was brought
back to her, shot through the heart,
his wedding ring still on his finger and
his cape covering his dead face.
That night the army retreated in
haste and Mrs. Hill was the last woman
to pass the pontoon at Petersburg. It
was an awful journey, for the roads
were choked with the disorganized
troops ; sometimes they were in the
enemy's lines and again in their own,
but all through that dreadful night
Mrs. Hill sat in the ambulance by her
dead husband's body, holding her
baby and little daughter in her arms.
She buried Gen. Hill at Gouchland,
Va., laying him away in the uniform
he wore when he fell. Afterward the
body was lemoved to Hollywood, but
a few years ago Mayor Ginter donated
the spot in Richmond where Gen. Hill
organized his first company, and his
body was taken there and a splendid
monument erected to his memory.
His youngest daughter, Miss Lucy
Lee Hill, the babe of the retreating
army is now a beautiful woman and
was one of the board of lady managers
at the World's Fair from Kentucky.
She is Gen. Lee's god-daughter, and
his tears, fell on her baby face as he
held her in his arms at the baptismal
font.
Some years after Gen. Hill's death
Mrs. Hill married Dr. Alexander For
sythe. Since his death she came to
Chicago and now resides at 101 Pine
street. She was a noted beauty in
her youth aud her cordiality endears
her to friends new and old. The home
life of the Morgan family was singu
larly happy, for there were six sons
and six daughters to fill the hospitable
home with merrymaking. Gen. Mor
gan was the eldest child. He was
passionately fond of children and Mrs.
Forsythe says that on Sunday morn
ings he used to take a quantity of
bread and an immense bright tin pan
full of molasses and gather all the
plantation picaninnies on the lawn
and let them "sop" the sweet stuff to
their heart's content. In the winter
the poor, both black and white, had
the freedom of his great wood yard
back of his factory.
The betrayal and death of Gen.
Morgan are never mentioned in the
family circles, and the harrowing de
tails were carefully withheld from the
grief-stricken mother. The general
was on his way to visit his wife, to
whom he had not long been married.
Worn with travel, he stopped for the
night at a lonely farm house. The
people were ardent Southern sympa
thizers ana personal friends, but the
daughter had a sweetheart in the
Union army. After the family retired
she stole out, saddled a horse and rode
to the nearest camp with the startling
news that Gen. Morgan was asleep at
her mother's home. As the night
was wild and stormy and his retreat
obscure, Gen. Morgan felt perfectly
secure and slept soundly until ?
movement in the yard aroused him.
He sprang out of bed and rushed out
of the house in his night clothes. He
was immediately surrounded and shot.
Before his heart ceased beating his
unclothed body was flung across a
horse and taken to camp. On the way
the country was aroused by the sol
diers' exultant cries :
"We have killed Morgan, the great
Confederate rebel'!"
It is a matter of history that from
the girl who betrayed him to the men
who shot him every one has suffered a
violent death. Mrs. Forsythe's young
est brother, Francis Key Morgan,
named after his cousin, author of "The
Star-Spargled Banner," inherited the
fearless spirit. When 14 he climbed
into the cupola of the old academy at
Lexington and unfurled the Confeder
ate flag. The city swarmed with Union
soldiers and it would have gone hard
for the lad had he not been spirited
away in a closed carriage. About this
time Gen. Morgan sent a trusty Irish
boy with letters to his mother. His
mmm mum

How the States Have Grown,,
The treasury department has just
brought out its statistical abstract of
the United States for 1895, a valuable
book that is full of tables upo:i all
sorts of subjects.
Among the tables is oce that savors
of ancient history, but a glance at it
reveals some curious facts respecting
the growth of the States that are worth
a moment's attention. The first five
States in population, according to the
census of 1790, wore the following in
the order named : Virginia, Pennsyl
vania, North Carolina, Massachusetts
and New York. In 1800 New York
went to third place, North Carolina
to fourth and Massachusetts to fifth.
In 1810 New York went to second
place, and Pennsylvania to thirci, the
others remaining unchanged. In 1820
New York displaced Virginia at the
head of the list, and Massachu setts
dropped out to give way to Ohio.
Virginia stood second, Pennsylvania
third and North Carolina fourth. In
1830 Pennsylvania moved up to second
place, Virginia was thirci, Ohio fourth
and North Carolina fifth. In 1840
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
ranked one, two and three, and they
held the same relative positions until
1890, when Ohio was sent to the fourth
place by Illinois. The fourth and
fifth States in 1840 and 1850 were
Virginia and Tennessee in the order
named. In I860 Illinois made its
appearance in fourth place, and Vir
ginia went to fifth. In 1870 Virginia
dropped out and Missouri took its place.
The only change since then is the
shifting of Illinois and Ohio in 1890.
North Carolina, whicb persisted in
holding a good position for i'our de
cades, has now dropped to the six
teenth place, and Virginia, which
held out until I860, has gone to the
fifteenth. Massachusetts is just out
side the pale. It has ranked as seventh
and eighth, but is now back to sixth
place again. Tennessee, which made
a good showing in 1840 and 1850, is
now No. 13. The table gives s, very
clear idea of the gradual decline of the
Southern States in relative strength.
By 1890 Tennessee had dropped to
tenth and North Carolina to twelfth.
Indiana was sixth, Massachusetts
seventh, Missouri eight, and Iowa
eleventh. In 1890 the first dozen
States were : New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Ohio, Missouri. Massachu
setts, Texas, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa,
Kentucky and Georgia.
