EDITOR OF THE SUMTER ll KHALI) On a recent vlsi* 10 the State Farm the following condition o' .'iff iii a nro sented themselves under thc most efficient ami p mistaking e ire of its worthy Sup. erintent Col. D. J. Griltith, ol Conimbia. He has on each farm 30J acres in cit ton and it is a sate calculation and is postivcly stated that without a mishap to the crop, he will gather 600 balee ol 500 pounds each. This visitor has traveled considerably throughout the State and is a very large planter himself, lils princi pal topic ot conversaiion.being crops, which he admires the beauty ot almost equal to lair women-both being productions of Nature-and asserts that, without e\ ceptiou, this tarni is a paragon of excellence beyond compare with any in the State. Aside Irom the fact that the cotton is generally so very good, there is a 40 acre field on the DeSaussure side on which a special test was made willi 'Peruvian guano." Previous to this year it has been impossible to pio.luce any crop that would make a satisfactory yield on this (and, it hardly paying to plant colton on it; being light soil and lull of nut grass They used in producing the handsome crop this year 400 pounds l'eruvian guano under tlvj cotton and i> >o around crop. This 40 acres ot colton held ils color well, dark yreen, all during the hot dry spell ot May and greater part ol June and as soon as rain commenced it shot out. and has grown beyond expectation-it is loaded with fruit, and i; the handsomest piece ol" cotton on that farm and 2,000 pounds ol seed cotton to the acre will be a conservative estimate of the yield On the adjoining farm there is the same si/.e tract-though belier land-whcie only 4OO pounds peruvian guano was used and i< safa estimate au eiiuai yield on this 40 acres. Tins is also as tine a piece of cotton as can be shown <>u ei'her larm. Aside from the cotton crop and notwithstanding the fact that Uiey ?asl nil plant ing ot fall oats and had it replanted in spting in hopes ol making a spii?>;: crop, whicti they did not get in until late in the spring, they made a magnificent crop of oats and have threshed and have now in bulk in their capacious buns probab ly 10.000 bushels The production ol grain on these larm i is alw ivs in excess ol requirements, and ol late years they have gone extensively into raising mules lor their own use They now have some 25 head ol" young mules Irom 1 lo 3 j cai s old, some ol which are at work.
