Thera wot a period of time when
we ffore not dependent on the oat
ftma, bat that has long
I away, and we now con-
it crop oar only hope, ae
corn raising in this country has come
to be bat one ot things of the pest, a
part of the sgricnltaral history of the
anti bMum regime. Jast after the
war doted and cotton was setting all
the way up m high as 40 cents per
pound, when everything was in an
abnoraml condition, when the com
merce, the finances, and the agricul
ture of the whole country was on a
boom, tbe.basis of which was sn in
flated cnrrency, when money flowed
like water, we ooald afiord high stock
fbed, bat in a few years when every
thing settled down to a normal condi
tion, the fkrmer began to look about
for cheap food for the mules that
worked the cotton crop and the result
wm a general introduction
fkmous red rust proof oat.
Some claimed that it wm a Ood-send
to this country, the only hope of the
cotton planter, while I have always
been undecided whether it wm a bless
ing or a curse, for this reason, if the
cotton planter had been nnable to get
this oat some twelve or fourteen years
ago, be wonld have been forced to
adopt a different system of agricul
ture and be would have been nnable
to raise cotton at the low price he re
ceived for it, without this cheap stock
food, consequently he wonld have
S ven more of his time and attention
prodoction of food crops, the rear
ing of cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry, etc.,
together with sowing the various
grasses and making fine pastures.
Again be would never have known
and snffered the evils of that vampire,
the lien law, which, while it is grad
ually sucking his life blood, cools him
with tbe flap of its wing in the form of
hope. The red oat, liie whlske
good in its place, but is and bM
harmful m a basis for a cotton crop.
As a leader there Is no better crop fur
our fkrmers, and we sboald give to It
that Intelligent study that it disserves;
there is one serious draw-back, how
ever, to our oat crop and only one
which I have carefully studied to rem
edy so fkr u my own crop It concern
ed and that Is the frees!hg out process
which has proven to dlsastroas of isle
yean.
Last season I planted one hundred
acres in oats, and planted in several
ways to satisfy myself which wm tbe
sorest wny to get a good stand, and
tbs safest way of protection from
freeses The first aafe-gaord is early
sewing always, m late sowing is
seventy-five per cent, more liable to
free scout than early vowing. I towed
my crop In various ways to find ont
tbe beet mothod of patting In a crop.
Tbe largest part, I prepared It nicely,
cotton seeded It well, then sowed the
seed and harrowed la the whole thine,
and snob a stand I never saw on ground.
I next plowed in some very shallow
and then harrowed tbe grouad. get
ting as fine a stand si tbe first. Next,
I plowed in some at deep m mules
ooald pall the plows, (I mean one-
horse plows), and harrowed the
grouitd, also got s fine stand. All of
this done in dne season, not later than
20th October. I then sowed some in
latter part of November and Decem
ber, all of which I plowed in about an
average depth. Some I harrowed and
somel left rough in order to find ont
it harrowing the grouitd bed any effect
on tbe stand, but being sowed late,
and the freeses commencing, not more
than three per cent, of them ever came
np at ail, being killed In tbe process
of gemination. Ninety acres out of
the bn ad red were killed ont, while
tbe remaining ten acres were far from
having a ftm stand. Now the beet
stand of the ten acres were those that
I plowed in deepest, and the next
beat wire these that I plowed in shal
low, while the poorest stand were
those I harrowed in.
I also took occasion to notice the
. dlSferen't etylee of sowing adopted by
nearest neighbors, and found about
tbe seme results with them m In my
own fields. 1 claim if wo will plow
in the oats deep and then harrow the
ground over that tbe freezes will not
effect the stand more than ten per
cent., which is a reasonable aUowaroo
for bad seed and weakly plants, where
if we put them in shallow, the stand
will be Itgared fUlly fifty percent,
give m my reasons the following: My
actnsl experiment for that purpose.
It is potent te all that mkere bats have
been sown on cotton Mod, row cut

fUrrows between tbe old cotton beda,

If they had been sown in drills. Agirn
l can tell where the tape of two lam'*
is by tbe oats being more regular
along this ridge, because in plowing
along this lap tbe oat seed get twice m
much dirt thrown over them, by
reason of tbe lapping process, m any
other part of the land. Yet again, I
can trace ont every water fUrrow

The following interesting letter, re
ceivcd Irom Commissioner Butler, will
also appear in the regort of the State
agricultural department ou the l.Mh
instant:
Lanimford Chester Co., S. C.,
September 21, 1885.
Col. A. I*. Butler, Commissioner of
Agriculture, Colombia, S. C.—Dear
Sir: Realizing, after eight years’ ex
perience, both in planting and renting
out fend for the cultivation of cotton
in this section, the neoestiity of finding
another or rather additional money
crop, I began two years ago to inves
tigate and study the cultivation and
ouring of tobacco. 1 soon became
convinced that a portion of my land
wm adapted to the growth of “bright
yellow” tobacco, the production of
which hM done so much of late years
to enrich certain sections of North
Carolina and Virginia. Whether our
climate would prove equally suitable
could be proven only by actual exper
iment. This experiment 1 decided to
make.
In November last I employed in
Vance county, N. C., a young man
versed in tobacco culture and curing,
aud on tbe first day of January, 1885,
began work to prepare for mv first
crop. Desirous of giving it a fair trial
I cleared out and prepared for culti
vation seven seres ot original forest
laud of good quality and of the proper
kind for tht growth of bright tobacco,
Vis., o< gray sandy top soil with po
rous yellow sandy subsoil. I also
selected about ten acres in ditlurcut
Iota of old lands, part in small pines of
se«x>nd growth, part in broom sedge,
and about two acres In a flue state of
cultivation, all ot same character as
new ground already described. All of
this, by repeated plowingsand harrow
ing, I reduced to the finest tilth during
tbe mouths of March, April aud May,'
and In the latter month prepared them
all for tbe reception of my plants—first
manuring them—the new ground with
200 ponuds of blood aminouiated sup
erphosphates, (manufactured by the
•♦Domestic Fertilizer Company ot Co-
lambfe,”) and (ht old land with a com
post of stable manure, cotton seed,
kainit and acid phosphate at the
I plKMpbate at tbe rate
of a little more than 1,000 pounds per
tcre. both applied in the drill and bed
ded in as for cotton, and afterwards
“billed” by checking with a straight
shovel and drawing no with hand boos
aud “patting” to retain the moisture
and indicate tbe place for setting the
plant- All of this work I sound ease,
and by the 10th of May bad all my
tobacco land ready with two horses
aud three extra hoe hands—two of
them boys under 15 years. In addi
tion I had planted twelve acres in cot
ton, about tbe same in corn, besides
garden and patches. My plant beds
were prepared in January and Febru
ary, port ou upland and part on branch
bottoms, the object being to provide
for the extrema of wet or dry, and
with tha bops Of securing plants for
early setting from tbe warm nplund
bads. Tbs seed, all of best varieties
from vsllow tobacco virgins of North
Carolina, came well and proved very
hardy, some even standing the severe
tMt of three or four inches of snow
without hurt in the middle of March.
From (his date (March 17) to about
the 10th of June, feiwever, we had
positively no rain, not even a shower
in April, proberbial for her smiles aud
tears. In tha latter part of May we
had two small showers, but not enough
to wet tbs ground halt an inch, so my
upland bads did practically no good,
tbs dry cold did practically no good,
the dry cold wind “blowing tbe plants
off tbs bad,” m tbs Mying goes, and
tbs “flea beetle” and “fly” literally
eating np what remainded. My bot
tom beds, however, did their foil duty
and ftirnisbsd ms all the plants I need
ed or had time and season to set.
The first shower in May (about the
20th) I set 15.000 plants, of which,
peifcaps 10,000 lived. The second
■bower, about tbe 28th, I set 24,000,
saving not more than 12.000, the hot
son and dry ground killing tbe halt.
I then set about 10,000 with water, (a
alow, tedious and costly process;)
two-thirds ot these lived and did well.
About the middie of June I eooeoeded
fend' ones set, and
40,000 plants then living,
‘ dry hot weather im-
' killed 10 or 12,-
000 at them, ^nd it wm wot until tbe

appeard I also tookmeamnrea to rednse
their namben by pefeoning tha moth,
whose egg laid on the uuder aid# of
the tobacco leaf, prodnoes tbe worm.
To this end, in the cultivation of the
crop, I had instructed my hoe hands
to spare til plants of the Jlmpson
(Jamestown) weed found growing i.i
the tobacco hills, the seed going to the
field with the compost, I suppose, and
the consequence was that In each lot
I had a few very flourishing stalks of
Jlmpson Just coming into bloom.
Within these blooms, which are the
favorite food of the “hawk moth,” and
which are open at night and closed in
daylight, or, at least, sunlight, I each
evening injected a few drops of swett
ened water, pretty well colored with
cobalt, nsing a small machine oil can
with spring bottom as an injector
soon began to find the dead moths,
and in less than a week’s lime had the
satisfaction to note, first a decrease in
the egg* and young worms, and in
two weeks’ time a total disappearance
of all except th ; old worms neglected
in previous worming; nor have I been
bothered with them since, except once,
when my Jimpson weeds being neorl
killed by the continued doses of oobai
I discontinued the use of it a few days,
when I found the worms again ap
pearing and young moths growing un
morous in the fields. A few, tiro or
three, docs a week has kept them nnder
ever since; and right here I will say
that I believe if I had commenced the
use of the cobalt as soon as the first
Jimpson bloom appeared l shoult
have escaped the worms almost alto
gether.
My tobacco showing seed-buds first
about 15th July—the first planting—I
topbed enough for one barn about
July 20. This tobacco was cut and
put in barn August 25; cured out
August 29, and the specimens I sene
you are from it.
After the rain, 29th August, it all
grew rapidly, and for tbe first time
gave me some trouble with the suck
ers, which have been or should be re
moved each week until ready for tbe
kuife. I find the additional difficulty
resulting from tbe rain of-that date
that all my bottom leaves on the older
tobacco arc ripe and all the tips or top
leaves are green and growing. As
however, I must gel through by frost
curing two barns a week, and having
barely time to do that, I am compelled
to cut, and tbe result is that while
have a fair show of bright tobacco
suitable for wrappers, I have a ven
unreasonable amount ot green tip
which no skill and care will make any
thing else of. For this the season
responsible. If we had had rains
even an average amount of it in the
spring and summer, all the tobacco
would have been ripe to the top and
reaily for the knife by this time.
I built mo two curing barns of most
approved style: litied them with don
ble return fiucs, costing barns com
pietc, about f95 each, and find them
to act perfectly. I have already cut
and cured eight barns of from 400 to
50b pounds weight of cured leaf, and
expect to cure six or, perhaps, seven
more. 1 have also built a most sub
staniial packing bouse, 40 by 20, two
floors, gM”? me capacity for atoring
about 85 boxes, besides room for stri 1 *-
ping and handling. I will prepare my
tobacco for market during tbe warm
wet spells in the winter mouths; will
pack it in hogsheads and ship to some
market in North Carolina or Virginia
and when I get returns will tell you
more about it at a money crop. Thus
far 1 have demonstrated to ruy own
satisfaction:
1st. That our soil and climatB are
best adapted to the production of fine
yellow tobacco.
2d. That the kind aud abundance of
labor we have is (with good manage
mout, a good stock of patience, due ul
lowanoe for ignorance and consequent
inefficiency, until taught,) peculiarly
favsrablc to ila production as an auxil
iary crop.
8d. That 1 shall enlarge my facilities
for curing and storing, aud next year
shall extend the production on my own
place by inducement* held out to my
tenants to plant two to four acres
the family, to be worked by them, (in
which operation women and children
can be most profitably employed dur
ing the idle season of August and
15th September,) andaftewards, when
ready to cure, to be sold on hill or
cured on shaies, as agreed upon
4tk That you have not heard the
last of tobacco growiug as an industry
In this section.
I send you a few hands of “bright,
running from first grade leaf to bright
“lug,” which you can place with other
South Carolina products in Agricu
lural Hall, remembering that brig
yellow tobacco will stand neither
n»
handling nor light, (excessive) and
ditug
that it should not be subjected to the
extremes of wet and dry. Those spec
imens have never yet been bulked, am
are not at their best, but may at least
rank as cariosities, coining, as they do
from the Jlrst barn of Jlue cured
tobacco ever cured in the State
(August 29, 1885,) so far as I know
and certainly the tiraf cured iu what
will one dav be the celebrated yellow
tobacco region of Chester county.

Railroad CousinIseloas.
The Supreme Court of the United
Stales on Tnemlay began hearing argu
ments upon the “Mississippi railroad
commissioners’ cases.” Tlx se are three
in number, having points of difiercnce,
but similar in their main features, and
they were argued together. They in
volve a decision upon the right of a
Statu to fix tariff rates, prescribe local
ities for <le|>oU, ami make other regu-
lutious for railroads which are built
and operated under charters of other
.State* of the United States. In 1884,
the Mississippi legislature passed a
railroad commission bill providing for
the appointment ol a board of commis
sioners authorized and required to fix
tariff rates for railrouis lying in and
passing through the State, and to exer
cise certain other functions iu the man
agement of lines, and empowered the
commission to demand under penalties
for non-compliance such informatiou
from the roads as might be fonod
desirable in the performance of iU
duties. The commissioners took btcos
to carry out the law, giving the roods
notice of the fact, whereupon the
Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company,
trustees of the Mobile aud Ohio Rood,
the Illinois Central and tbe New Or
leans and Northeastern each attacked
the law in the Federal Courts, hold!
it to be unconstitutional, and seen
4n injunction restraining the commis
sioners from carrying the State law
into effect. Tho question comes before
the Supreme Court upon appeal from

Lea’s Election Assured.
The State Democratic comtnittoe, the
Hon. John S. Barbour, chairman, met
at Richmond, Va., on Tbursday^and
was in session for several hearing re
ports from difforcut sections of the
Slate. The news was generally very
encouraging. From statements made
the committeemen feel justified in
asserting that the election of Gen. Fitz.
Lee for Goveror is assured and that
they will have a mojority in both
branches of the General Assembly.
Representatives from a number of
doubtful counties were preset to ask
the committee for help, and were
promised all the assistance that the
committee could afford.

CAPITAL VERSUS MERIT.
It is ;>owible that money dipped into a
bounteous supply ef printer’s ink, is to be
used to teach false ideas.
Why is it that such persistent anathemas
should all at once be buried against the use
of “Potash and Potash Mixtures?”
Those who insist that Potash is a poison
do so because that is the way they have of
fighting 11. 11. B., as the latter contain*
potash properly combined.
Opium, morphine, strychnine, aconite,
whiskey, etc, are all deadly poisons, and
are daily destroying the fives of people,
and wli, do not these men cry out against
them? It is because tlitre is no money in
sight to do so. Potash is not regarded as a
poison, and vesy seldom harms any one;
out 11 lose who abuse It are using a vegeta
ble poison ten times as vWent. Iodide of
Potash, In proper combination, is regarded
by tl»e medical profession as the quickest,
grandest and most powerful blood remedy
ever known to man. Those who believe in
revealed combi nations aud Indian foolish
ness are surely in a condition to become
rather "cranky’’ in their ideas at any time.
We assert umferstandingly that Potash, as
used iu the manufacture of B. H. U , is not
a poison, and the public need «<A place any
confidence in assertions to the contrary.
Why is it that iu one thousand 'letter*
which wc receive we never Imar a word
against its use? The truth Is; B. B. B. ka
working such wonders in the core of all
blood poisons, scn fula, rheumatism, ca
tarrh, etc., that otliers are trembling In
their hoots, and cry aloud, “poison,’’
“fraud,’’ because they fear its triumphant
march. Let any man or wuman ask any
respectable doctor or druggist If we are
not right. LR> not he deceived, bat go
right along and call for B. U. B., and be
cured. It U making five times more cures
in Atlanta than all other blood remedies
combined. W« don’t say that other* are
poisons or fra ad a; we are not that easily
alarmed, hut we say ours is the best, and
we have the proof. Send for our 32-p*ge
book, free, and be convinced,
bold by ail druggists.
