An Ideal Farm.
*—i-' • „ ,
* Mr. Jacob McLeod of Manning ia
the owner of an ideal farm according
to Mr. A. B. Stuckey’s account of it.
He is a firm believer in the value of
rotating to produce the best results.
His farm consists of 75 acres divided
by neat wire fences into three equal
fields. In one of these he plantsooni
and in another Option and in the oth
er pats, each field containing 25 a-
cres. Every year each crop rotates.
Cotton follows oats, com follows cot
ton and oats follows corn. In the com
and oats sections peas are planted.
The corn he plants ontheWiUiam-
son plan using only 700 pounds of gu
ano to the acre, his land is:
ed. The yield is per acre; 75
ot corn, 100 bushels of oats and 2
bales of cotton,besides peas and pen-
vine hay. Mr. McLeod says it ia bard
to tell which field produces moat in
dollars and cents—and he had it all
down in his books, the cost and val
ue of the products of each acre.
This is a powerful object
Colleton county can easily have
such farms.
