Speaking of good farming in this county by small farmers The Herald and News incidentally heard another case where it was demonstarted what could be done by proper cultivation t and proper fertilizing. t Some years ago Mr. John T. Norris i bought a small farm some five miles t from Newberry which the neighbors thought was so poor that he would be unable to make a living for himsellf and his family. The first year Mr. Norris planted fourteen acres which he worked him self with his hired help and gathered seven bales of cotton. From year to 1 year he continued to work this same 1 land and gradually increased tire yield first to ten and then to twelve bales and so on. This year he gather- a ed twenty-four bales of cotton and he has ailready gathered from five plows eighty bales of cotton, be sides making iplenty of corn and I other necessaries for the mainten ance of his farm. - What Mr. Norris and Dr. Brown 1 and other farmers have done can be done by the farmers of this county, 1 generally, if they will give proper attention to the cultivation. and fer tilization of their soil. It is hoped that the demonstration work which is to be done in this county under the direction of the government may be an impetus to ( more careful cultivation. THE NEWS OF PROSPERITY.
