The remarks recently made by Mr. Terry in regard to the advantages possessed bv the Southern farmer over his Northern neigh bor in the diversity of crops that can be grown in a single season are not a whit exaggerated. The fact that clover does not as a rule thrive well in the South has been time and again shown by Prof. Massev to be far less of a disadvantage than would be supposed by the farmers ot the North, who would go S mth and continue the same hn.,1 of cropping I hey have been accustomed to at home. In fact we have almost come to the conclusion that it is one of the mistakes of Southern agriculture to evor sow a clover seed south ol Virginia. In our progress somnwnra jus! to the extent that clover becomes more and more uncertain and troublesome, the cow pea increases in value, .until all over the cotton belt it is the king ol tor a {jo and s<?il improving crops. Now and t!i u a competitor appears only to disappear after a little while. Over all of thein the cow pea has advantages. Among its numerous varieties there can be found those suited to almost any condition. No clover can produce as much forage per acre on the same quality of land, and no clover will make better hay if properly cured. No clover will make even an appearance in the space of time during I I i i wmcn me cow pea frets in its whole work. No clover will gather from the air anj more nitrogen than the cow pea. Then why does the Southern farmer need clover at all? When he can get an early crop like peas (Canada pea9) and oats olT his land by the first of June and can then sow a crop of peas and gather another heavy crop of hay in time to prepare the land for a crpp ot winter grain, where is the need for clover? lie has accomplished in two Rhort months all that clover would do for him in twelve months if it was a success alitl hna rlAno it I l-? o (IV >IMO V1VIIV 11/ *1 1111 a ucr* tainty that never attends his efforts to prow clover. Ilence we are coming rapidly to the conclusion that clover growing or attempts to grow clover should he abandoned in the cotton belt, and the clover of the South be given full sway. We must learn that the farming of one section cannot be the best for all sections, and that we must adapt our methods to the crops that are the best ones for the sections where we are farming. -Just as the fruit growers going South soon realize that they cannot / grow currants, gooseberries, sweet cherries or red raspberries there, while they can grow other things that do not thrive in tlie North, so the general farmer must realize that he has left some of the farm crops behind him and come among others better adapted to his new conditions. Nearly all Northern men going South to f'?irtti liuvo n nrnnwli^ii turtiinct cotioil and tobacco, and resolve that they will not grow the crops that have ruined the South. Herein they make a great error. Cotton and tobacco in its many torms are the money crops in the South, and no farmer can afford to ignore the money crop of his section. The impoverishment of Southern lands is not the fault of these crops, for high farming can as easily be done with cotton and tobacco as with any other staple crops. The fault lies in the method and not in the crops, and there is just as much room for improved farming and stock raising with tobacco and cotton as specialties as with any other crops. The great need of the South ^s specialization in farming, as distinct from single v cropping. Every farmer, North or South, should have a special crop in his rotation, to the perfection of which the whole rotation is ar ranged, and to which all (he oth er crops grown are in their turn subsidiary, though each giving some profit in its place, aiul all tending to the building up of the land to the greater and more economical production of the specialty. For this kind of farming the long seasons of the South give the Southern farmer a great pd vantage over his Northern brother, for his recuperative crop can come in during the same sea son that he has taken oil a grain crop, and prepares the land for another, the more frequent repitition of the renovating forage crop enables him to shorten the rotation, and more rapidly increase the productiveness of his soil for his specialty.?Practical Farmer.
