E J MOORE, AGT FOR MARLBORO and SCOTLAND COUNTIES. -o SOME FACTS WORTHY OF NOTE li DITO R OF TUE SUMTER HERALD On a recent visit to the State Farm the tallowing condition ol blt dis tire tented themselves under thc most efficient and painstaking care ol its worthy Sup. L-rintent Col. D J. Griffith, ol" Columbia. He has on each farm 30J acr.'s in o n ion and it is a sate calculation and is postively stated that without a mishap to the crop, he will gather 600 balee ot 500 pounds each. This \isitor has traveled considerably throughout the State and is a very large planter himself, his princi pal topic of conversaiionjheing crops, which he admires the beauty ot almost equal to tair women-both being productions of Nature-and asserts that, without ex ception, this (arm is a paragon of excellence beyond compare with any in the State. Aside from the lact that the cot'.on is generally so very ??oed, there is a40 acre field on the DeSaussure side on which a special test w is made, with ?.Peruvian ?nano." Previous to this year it has been impossible lo pioiluce any crop thal vvould make a satisfactory yield on this land, it hardly paying to plant eoiion on :t; being light soil and full of nut grass They used in producing the handsome. :rop this year 400 pounds Peruvian guano under the cotton and '?no around crop. This 40 acres ol cotton held its color well, dark green, all Outing the hot dry spell it May and greater part ol June and as soon as rain commenced it shot out, and lias grown beyond expectation-it is loaded with fruit, and i. thc hanclsomtst nece of cotton on that farm and 2,000 pounds ol seed cotton lo thc acre will bc a ronscrvative estimate of the yield On the adjoining farm there is the same size traci-though better ' ind- whet e Dnly 4OO pounds Peruvian guano was used and it ir, sale lo estimate an equal field on tiiis 40 acres. This is also as line a piece ol cotton . om bc shown on :ituci ?arm. Aside from the cotton crop and notwithstanding the l.ict thal they lost all plant ng ol tall oats and had it replanted in spiing in hopes ol making a spring crop, vhich they did not get in until late in the spring, they made a magnificent crop rf oats and have threshed and have now in bulk in their cap.ici >n ; barn-, probab y 10.000 bushels The production ol grain on these farms is always in excess ot COUiremeutS. and ot late years they have gone extensively into raising mules lor heir own use They now have some 25 head of young mules troth 1 lo 3 yeats >ld, some of which are at work. On a whole both I arms are a model'ol upsto late, progressive farming. VISITOR.
