Small Grain Salvation. The Pkoim k is glad to learn that its farmer friends in all parts of the county are preparing to sow w heat. The fact that it is an uncertain crop in this lati tude cause* some to hesitate. Ruteorn, cotton and oats are more or less uncer tain. Even if wheat fails to make a yield worth cutting nothing is lost ex cept the cost of seed and labor. The laud remains in tlie best condition for any summer croji. Major D. A. Hutto gave us « half hour's talk tlie other day on small grains. When he was grow ing up all t he farmers in the George* Creek coun try made- w heat for home use. His father grew over a hundred bushels ev ery year, sowing it as regularly as he planted corn and cotton. He lived to a good old age, and bought only one bar rel of flour during ids life. The Major re me tn berg when Mr. William Gritnes came to his father’s house, a good'many miles, to buy seed wheat. Alter the trade was made M r. Grimes said that lie had made wheat regularly before, hut that he had figured it out that it was cheaper to raise cotton and buy flour, and that he had in consequence done without a good deal of Hie time, ’ Ex perience taught him‘that the old way was tbe better. Wheat should he sown, says Major Hutto, in narrow lands, about as broad a*a cradle will take. A straight shovel should l»e run deep iu tlie water furrowto give drainage in the vvet spring ffpnths. He will sow the little red wheat, .formerly known as- keevvee. v,.- He ha* found rye the most profitable crop that can la* grown. If southern M*ed is t«own it never Jails. Cold, heat, drought or rain can not kill it. ftn good lands well prepared and fertilized the \ it id will Iw from eight to twelve bush el* u> the acre.
