THE MANNING TIMES. M~n nm-ng, S. a. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1889. The South Carolina University of fers two alumni scholarships, each worth $150 cash and free tuition. A competitive examination will be held to award the scholarships. An old negro woman, supposed to have been 110 years old, died in Columbia last Sunday. She was able to work and to support herself up to the present year. She is thought to have died of old age. The North American Salt Company, with a capital of $15,000,000, pro poses to buy or control the sale of all the salt in North America. Salt will soon be selling at big prices, since the formation of this gigantic salt trust. The unanimous call of the Colum bia First Presbyterian Church to the Rev. Samuel N. Smith, D. D., to be come its pastor has been accepted by the reverend gentleman, who will as sume his pastoral relations about September 1st. The Territorial Convention of Okla homa, which assembled at Guthrie, has adjourned until August 20. It was decided to divide the territory into twelve counties; and committees on organization, law, judiciary, and the Legislature were appointed. Watermelons, though shipped in very large quantities from Barnwell county, frequently realize very small profits. Last week on one carload no profit was realized, the melons selling only for the freight which was $150. Another carload realized a profit of only $12. The Georgetown Times doesn't know that there is such a place as Greens on the Georgetown Railroad. It is a post office and railroad station some six or eight miles from Lanes. Dysentery has, for the past month or so, been very prevalent there, and a number of deaths have occurred. Our Georgetown cotemporary ought to keep better posted on home news. The Wisconsin Grand Lodge of Masons, in annual convention assem bled, have resolved that saloon keep ers and liquor dealers are ineligible for membership, and that those who arealready in the order cannot be ad vanced to higher degrees. This course has been adopted by the States .of Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, and Michigan. No ian is so important that he cannot be spared from this world; and as-soon as he disappears therefrom by death, he begins to be for gotten; and unless there be some re markable fact or facts in his earthly history he will in a comparatively abort time be forgotten altogether. Living men are too much occupied with matters of life to give much at tention to dead men. What a mere bubble is fame! How soon it bursts! The State Medical Association has expelled Dr. Mctow on the charge of "immoral, unprofessional, and ungen tHemanly conduct, as proven by bis own confession," and has ordered the three daily papers and in two reputa ble medicalgjournals. It was very difficult for McDow to get in this so ciety, but he did so a year ago. Now the profession will refuse to recognize him, and will hold no consultation with him. It is also stated that all the honorary members of the La SFayette Artillery, the company that recently re-elected him surgeon, will ter'their resignation, in order to show their indignation at the course of this company. tIOOD ROADS. Elsewhere we publish a bill that will probably be presented to the next Legislature, concerning the working of the roads. Ini some respects it is a good bill, but we think a better way yet would be to keep our roads in re pair just as a railroad company keeps its road-bed in first-class condition. . astead of having so many overseers, have a road master, or if necessary two or three of them, supply them with the proper number of hands, and from Jamasary to. January, the year round, let this road master and his gang of hands keep on the roads. Let them have a mule and wagon and tents and let it be understood that work and not play was required. The commutstion tax is $2, and if. such a course was pursued in nine cases out -6f ten the commutation axwould be 'd, but in case it was not paid then etthe party desiring to do work be put among the regular gang of hands, a few at a time, and required to do at least eight full days' work, two-thirds that allowed by law. *The commutation tax would easily pay the expenses of hiring and equip ping a competent gang of road hands that would keep our roads in a condi tion never known before, and in a few years we could without any increase in the tax commence to macadamize the worse parts of the roads, and ere a half century had passed, by proper ly carrying out this idea, we would have roads that would make traveling in any kind of weather a pleasure. In fact this plan needs no change in the law. It could be put in force un der the present law, if the county commissoners would only do so. And why don't they ? Do they not know that work thus done systemat ically and thoroughly will give satis faction, while the old way is all bosh? Even if only two or three competent road masters should be employed, and then eight or a dozen hands summon ed out a time and put under the charge of these road masters, the re - sults would be far better. We think this plan a good one, and* would like for our Board of County Commissoners to give it a trial. A little calculation will easily show that the amount raised from the commnu tation tax would keep a large gang. of hands on the road the entire year. We think the best way to keep up our roads is as at present, namely, to let the people pay a commutation tax.I We do not favor a property tax. 'It would be too uncertain, very proba bly too small, and would not give sat isfaction. The commutation tax of $2, or the privilege of working six or eight days under the direction of a strict road master, would give excel ent results. CORN OR COTTON? Gen. Stackhouse Discusses the Cultiva tion of Corn and Cotton before his Sub Alliance-A raper Full of Interest and Information. The brother who proposed corn as the subject for our discussion said "Corn is a good thing to have," and: be might have added a very necessa ry thing to have, and the choice is between growing and buying it. It' may .seem absurd to discuss this choice, and I certainly would not dis cuss it, if so many of our farmers did not, by their fixed method of buying corn, declare their preference for this method. Without any nice calculation to de termine which of the methods is the more economic, I had determined a long time ago in favor of the home production method of supply, and] the fact that I have not been under oEN. sTACEHOUSE DOES NOT BUY coRN. the necessity of buying any corn for my home place in 40 years, may be counted as so much in proof of the fact that we can grow our own corn but that fact is too old and too well established to need new demonstra tion. The older farmers present will remember, when it was the custom in this country to grow all the corn that was necessary. The idea that it was good policy to make cotton to buy corn is one of recent origin. Let us proceed at once to the discussion of this policy. Since you appointed me to opa this discussion, I have talked with some of the supply merchants, to see how they viewed the question and they all agree on one point, viz: that farmers who make their own corn pay for what they buy of other goods. The largest supply merchant in this county-just across the branch -says there has not been a year since the war that he has not been obliged to "order" some corn for his custom ers, but that "he has never lost money on farmers that made their own corn." Then, too, it seems to be settled by general observation, that farmers who grow their own corn are the most prosperous, but all this may not be accepted as conclusive evidence that it is the best policy. The corn farm ers may happen to be more intelli gent and plucky, hence their greater success. But I submit that a farmer who plants his whole place in a crop that requires 12 full months to grow and gather should not be suspected of a want of pluck. I believe the all cotton system is the result of the in debtedness of the farmers, and is complimentary to their honesty. They want to pay their debts and because cotton is the great money crop they plant it. COST OF RAISING CORN cOPARED. Let us first see how corn growing in South Carolina compares in profits with corn growing in the great North West, the country we look to for our supplies. Let us compare South Carolina in 1880, when the average acreage yield was lower than in any other State in the Union, with Illinois which produced nearly one fifth of the corn grown in the United States. By reference to the census of 18801 and. the .Agricultural department re ports for the same year, we find that the average acreage yield was 9.3 bushels in South Carolina and 27.2 bushels in Illinois, or very nearly1 three times as much as in South Car Illinois that year was 36 cents, in South Carolina 77 cents per bushel. 27.2 bushels at 36 cents amounts to1 $7.79-the money value of an acre of;: corn in Illinois, 9.3 bushels at 77 cents amounts to $7.16, the money< value of an acre of corn in South Car olina. This represents a balance in favor of Illinois of $2.63 per acre, but there are other matters which1i must in fairness be taken into the ac- i ro'unt. In 1880 farm laborers, by the1 fear, without board, were paid $10.40 oer month in South Carolina; in Illi-Y iois $23.53. This makes a farm la-i borer in. Illinois cost $157.56 morei per year than in .South Carolina. Now assuming that a laborer in Illi nois can cultivate and gather as miany acres as in South Carolina-aud to be liberal we will say 30 acres this would make a difference of $5.25: per acre saved in the single item of labor. This overcomes the balance: against South Carolina and places $2.62 to her credit. This balance;: to her credit of $2.62 per acre, wouldi more than cover the fertilizer account1 in South Carolina, and leave out of V the account another item which should in fairness be set to the credit< of South Carolina, viz: The cost of 1 plant, 30 acres of land in Illinois rep-i resenting a much larger money valu-1 ation than 30 acres in South Carolina. But it may be contended that not withstanding the advantages we* have in a home market and better prices, which makes corn growing in South: Carolina more profitable than in Illi nois, yet because we can grow success fully a great money crop, to which our country is peculiarly fitted, that therefore we had better growv this great money crop and buy our corn. To determine this question let us compare our individual experiences. corroN AND CORN COMPRED. For 13 years I have tried- to keep accurate statistics with my little wages farm. A fair average crop on thisV farm is 660 pounds of lint cotton and 40 bushels of corn per acre, and the1 cost of producing these crops is1 about as follows, viz: COTTON. Land rent, say.................S 8.00 Use of mule and implements and feed . of mule......... .......... 4.00 Cost or value of manure... .......10.10 All work -one third at 8c. ......... 17.60 Bagging and Ties...............0 Use of Gin and Machinery.......... 1.00 . Total expenses............S41.70 CREDITS. By 660 pounds Lint at 8c. .. ...... .$52.80 Expenses off..... ........ ...... ... 41.70 Profits per acre... ....... ......S1.10 This makes my cotton cost mc 6 1-S ents per- pound. CORN. Land rent, say................. .0 Use of mule and implements and mule feed........-........ 4.00 Fertilizers.................-.. .2 All work.. . . . . . . . . . .--- 5.00 Total expenses............23.25 CREDITS. 40 bushels corn at 75c.. .. . .... . $..30.00 Expenses off........-...-...... 23 25 Profitsq per acre................ .75 This makea my corn cost me 58 1-8 cents per bushel. The cotton sed is left out of the caleulation, so, too, the fodder and peas grown with the corn. These taken for a term of years will be: found to be about equal in valuation -the variation in the value of the fodder and peas would be greater than in the cotton seed. Now you know, I have been a life long advocate of growing our own corn, and I have practiced what I advocated, and I still believe it to be the true policy, though as you see I have figured out a balance in favor of cotton of $4.35 per acre. I want your assistance in finding my errors in practice or in calculation. There would be no trouble in proving it to be the correct policy, if all the farm ers in the Cotton States would adopt it, because it would reduce the amount of cotton production, and correspondingly enhance the value of the smaller amount grown, but the selfish man-and we are all more or less selfish-sees his opportunity in the enhanced value that tie general adoption of this policy would give to cotton and a corresponding reduction in the price of corn-he hopes every body except himself will adopt it, and be increases his cotton crop. HOME MADE CORN THE BEST. The negro expression, "Like he had corn to sell" means a good deal but Southern cotton farmers will scarcely be willing to pay $4.55 an acre for that kind of independence. So let us see if we cannot reduce it. I offer, subject to your approval, the, following items- to be applied to the reduction: I am informed that home grown Corn is worth at least 5 cents per bushel more than "shipped" corn. If that be true we have $2.00 to apply to reduction. Then, too, but for the practice of rotation of crops and con sequent soil improvement, the $8 00 per acre charged for rent would like ly be too high by at least one fourth, or $2.00 per acre. So, let us claim that, too, to apply to reduction. Then there is the item of getting it; home, whether you buy "sbipped" corn or from -your neighbor-which will likely represent at least 5 cents per bushel more--or $2.00 per acre. If the last three items be allowed we have row more than enough to bal ance the balance against corn. So I may leave this division of my subject with the remark that my observation has induced me to believe that bought corn is not good for stock of any kind. Having devoted so much time to the discussion of the economy of growing our own corn, I may with out argument say that I think we should grow sufficient corn to meet the home demand. I think it pays to grow corn for our neighbors, who! prefer buying to growing their corn. WHAT IT COSTS TO RAISE CC RN. I now approach the important part of my subject, the most economic and successful methods of growing corn. I feel that there are others present who can treat this branch of : the subject better than I can. Fifty eight cents per bushel is more than i it should cost to grow corn in this ounty. I have seen it stated that corn hias been grown in this State for ess than eleven cents per bushel; but to make corn so cheaply requiresa ombination of favorable conditions seldom attainable. In my estimateN and rent represents 20 cents perl' bushel, fertigiers over 15 cents, labor ~ents. But notwithstanding my eg ensive methods I will venture a few I ~houghts in reference to corn grow-, ng. The first thought is, that corn, nore than any crop we grow, re uires a deep rich soil. The inten-; ive system of farming is more impor ant in growing corn thani any other ~rop we grow. In proof of this I nay cite my own experience. Wher e n 13 years the acre oe yield for corn abeeni nearly dou led, -the acreage1 ield of cotton has not been advanced. Five acres of corn t~o the horse, now >roduces a sufficiency of corn for the alace, while producing more than at ;uficiency of pork. Thirteen years go it required from 8 to 10 acres to lo it, and during this period rotation, f crops has been the regular order! >n the place. I should state in this :onnection that I feed my work stock rith mixed feed, corn and oats, all the The second thought that I will yen-t ure is thatt whatever mode of prepara ion and cultivation we adopt it must e thorough. If corn is required to ,vait on unfavorable conditions, dam ige or ruin is inevitable. The eon-i litions necessary are, thorough pre-' maration of the soil,- and clean surface ulture-to be continued only when :he corn has taken entire posession of :he soil HOW TO IPROvE CORN.1 To discuss the productiveness and rlue of the many varieties of corn, mnd to enter upon the discussion of', .he details of preparation of soil and b nodes of cultivation would make this)9 aper larger than you have authorised. ut I may in conclusion allude to a1 nethod for the improvement of corn,1 >f which I Ji~se no experimental mowledge, but which has the sanc ion of analogy and common sense., t is this: Select a piece of. land en .irely separate from other corn land, md before the pollen ripens, cut the assels from all the imperfect stalks eaving only the tassels on the mole >erfect stalks for the work of impreg ation. I believe when the number f diseased or imperfect stalks is arge this method is worthy of care ul and continued triali.-Mar'ion In HOW'S THIS.
