EDITOR OF THU SUMTER UKI!ALD On a recent visit to the State Farm the following condition ol alf ors nre sentcd themselves under the most efficient anti painstaking carool its worthy Sup. erintent Col. D J. Griffith, ol Columbia. He lias on each tann 303 acres in cit ion and it is a sale 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 himsell, his princi pal topic ot conversaiionjbeing crops, which lie admires thc beauty ol almost equal to fair women-both being productions of Nature-and asserts that, without ex ception, this farm is a paragon of excellence beyond compare with any in the State. Aside Irom the tact that the cotton is generally so very good; there is a 40 acre tield cm the DeSaussure side on which a special test was math: with .'Peruvian guano." Previous to this year it lias been impossible to produce any crop that would make a satislactory yield on this land, it hardly paying tb plant cotton on it; being light soil and full of nut grass. They used in producing thc handsome crop this year 400 pounds Peruvian guano under the cotton and 2oo around crop. This 40 acres ot cotton held its color well, dark green, all during thc hot dry spell ot May and greater part ot June and as sonn as rain commenced it shot out, and has grown beyond expectation-it is loaded with fruit, and is the handsomest piece of cotton on that farm and 2,000 pounds ol seed colton lo thc acre will be a tTOiiservativc estimate of the yield On the adjoining farm there is the same size tract-though better land_where only 400 pounds Peruvian guano was used and it h sale lo estimate an criual yield on this 40 acres. This is also as iir.c a piece ot cotton a.s e.m be shown on either larm. Aside from tuc cotton crop and notwithstanding the fact that they lost all plant ing ol iall oats and had it replanted in spring in hopes ot making a spting crop, -vliich they did not get in until late in the spring, they mailt: n magnificent crop of oats and have threshed and have now in bulk in their capacious barns probab ly 10.000 bushels. The production ol grain on these farms is always in cxci-ss 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 to 3 yeats old, some of which are at work.
