Cotton in South Carolina.
M. A. C;ivcniUr. In I'laeltcil l-'urauT.
Willi cotton ill 5 cents per
pound, I he question can no longer
lie with us, how many acres we
shall ph.nt, but how much col Ion
we can make per acre The
practice about here, among many
has been lor years to gel all there
could be gotten out of the land
with as little cost as possible, and
no return made to the soil in any
shape, until the land thus planted
is just "starved outFive cents
cotton must change this. Most n|
us must raise some cotton. I'o

This we know from bitter experience.
<>n our large plantation of sev
oral thousand uercs, we have a
great ileal of cleared land which
we rent to tenants for per
aero. We try to follow the golden
rule with our tenants, of doing
to them as we would be done by.
Wo expect oftiiem: Thai having
access to foi -I. they haul meal
ma! 1 and keep up land as we do
at home. That they bed their
lot s and s1 aides and make manure.
That they do not sell cotton seed,
ail : 'Iun it to ihe soil. i hat
they Icilow a rotation of crops.
Wo explained the advantage to
