A good weeder ron over cotton or com just at tbo right time kills out a vast amount of young weede and grass and will pay for itself everyday over again when used with good judgment. In sowing peas on stubble land last season we tried to plow a piece of land with a two-horse plow, but after plow ing a strip across the Held, concluded to wait until it rained. When the rain did come wo got into a hurry and plow ed in all tho hold with one-horse plows, running right across the strip plowed deep with two-horse plow, aud the re sale was that the deep plowed strip had n richer color all tho season and the pens grew about ono foot taller than theoue-horse plowing. Stunting Cora. Will Mr. Williamson reply? Now, if Mr. Williamson's stunting procees proves with all ot us to be ns prolitablo and satisfactory as it has with Mr. Williamson, we can then see what h fool wo have all along been for losing BO much sleep over the stunting corn habit of our free negroes and some of our white tenants, too. We have watched this seemingly und void able stunting process going on about us, more or . lesB every year, with a great deal of displeasure; counting the ap parent lo&s as we passed by. But if Afr. Williamson's success in thia im. proved stunting corn practice proves to be no good with others aa with him eelf, we can truly say to one another along the line, farmers, "what fools we mortals be." . Mr. Williamson-wo do not *nce doubt-baa been thoroughly convinced that hie etnnting plan ia alf right or he would not practico thia plan, let alone advocate it in publie print. Bntwbat we want to know from Mr. William eon now is, how does he know that there ia more in the stunting of bia oom than there waa in the aide appli cation of the fertilizer? Did Mr. Wil liamaon make repeated, comparative teats upon different soils and different season B by the actual weighing of the different yields and aotual measure ments aa to the area under bia com parative teot? or did bo form bia con clusions, like many of. un have done before, by i he mers looks of the thing? We would like to hear from Mr. Williamson oh thia eubject. aa many of our people are making these pointed inquiries of Our bureau about these teat. With the Aldrich system of planting corn and cotton ur ter the double row alternation and rotation plan ot Mr. Williamson, and the breeding of new varie ties of cow peae to eui; onr differ ent purposes, by Mr. Brabham and Dr. Mason, Tro fool very m?i?h ?ike there is something doing along the right line by onr fermera, which ia gratifying to the whole progressive family of our farmers. ? - .. . Thia progressive turn of the minda of our Ho ut her a farmers away from the all cotton ayatem to the more sensible rotation plana and the inclination to build np -the land upon a permanent 8lan of rotation ia like the dawn of a right new day for our Southern farm ers. It locks like onr people were about toady nc iv ts cali: tho farm er that e make a reasonable profita ble crop from his landend leave the land richer .than before be grew the crop, tbs beat farmer or the future; that la the - kind of farmers that the whole country must now ? cok to to tura the tide of the long practiced rob ber syatem of skinning tho, land by eon ti nuo o s crops of its soil for present gain and fa turo devastation. ..' \ ;.j Cheer up, far mere, von are on the right road. .- . ?

These pub Ko meeting* or rally days of farmers if freed from obnoxione political schemes; doea a greav good thing by bringiog the fermera. together to discuss the thing? of prime iuterest to all farmers. JttBt here we wiatt to re mi n d tba Union that it is nota good plan to h ave too many sneakers et these meetings tc talk on the same eobj ecta, f cr tbe f ol - lowing reasons; When you get a speaker from a . distance yon should bear kia expenses, and again do not get a man to epeak upon any subj ect un - lees y ou ca o?i get a good on e an d give bim his time to tell what ho koowa about the got jeet in hand.

Pendleton, J, cC ^.tfstf^Jti^ ?nion P.osld^ T. T. Wakefield wanted io low his tenants to have even a "roast near" patch. And hero ia another thing, Brother Stribling, r.bout this corn raising proposition: Mr. T. M. Wolborn, one' amone: the most progressive members of our Union, and ono whoso ability ns au up-to-date farmer ia recognized by UH ali, says that bo can take a pieco of land, iuu it in corn every year, nnd by planting peas between each hill of com and theu sowing them in the mid dle ot lay-by time, can improvo it fas ter than be can to run tho name land in cotton every year and put all the atable manure on it that he eau inako. Now, listen at some old knotty-headed, one-sided, all-cotton raising farmer say that ho don't believe it. Well, then, come around and take a peep at Broiher Welborn's farm and see if you don't go back home and order you a kicking machine nitb which to give yourself justice foi haviug no moro farming sense than you've got. And now, in conclusion, wo want to say that Five Forks Union preaches and practices crop diversification, and the other fellow can do just as he likes, but when he comes around to buy corn from us, and we lind that he doesn't try to raise it. wo will put a Erice to him that will givo him the lind staggers.
