Sonto Conshlorntlonn i lint Lighten th? lleitrtHof the AgrlculturaU?!?. Tho timo has como with tito Southern fanners when they soc tho necessity of abandoning old methods, and adopting new ones; tito introduction of horse reapers, mowers, and plows that will ox pedito cultivation and economizo I.thor, shows that wo aro in a transition Btato; preparing to reduce the area of cotton planting, and increase tho area of grain, clover, grass and other crops; in short, wo aro fixing up for diversified farming. This is wont 1 have been recommending to nil our fatmoni for tho lost (iftcen I years in all my articles in Tho Southern j Cultivator, ami other agricultural jour-j uals. 1 am glad to BOO the chango lias j begun, and in tho near future, wo will see our .Southern farms once moro teem ing with line crops of corn, wheat and oats, as well as clover and grass, and fine stock of all kinds of our own raising, making us as wo should bo, a self-sup porting, prosperous sot ol farmers. Wo have served too long a time at making cotton, which has impoverished tho farmers and made rich the n>< rel.ants and cotton ki: gs; let US How turn over a new leal, and farm for our own good and prollt. Wo have tho country, tho lands and the climate adapted to the most diversified system of farming ol any other COUntryj all needed, is tho will, to make it so -so let it bo so. Ag ricultural machinery is new to most of our ?Southern farmers, and especially to tho negro, the laborer we have mostly to rely on; but still I here are many of thom Blluicii idly intelligent with a littlo train ing lo make them lise thom advantage ously under the supervision of tho own er. dur young farmers should drive their OWU reapers and mowers; but with old fanners who have not sons to use them, they are dependent on hirelings, but if possible tiley should lie operated under their supervision, for liko all ma chinery they must bo used with judg ment and care. But when there ls n ?viii, there is a way, and grain and grass crops will soon b ach ns tho right way of using machinery. Homo IT or 18 years ago, bet?re tho cotton craze seized our people, grain and grass was mostly tho erupa of this section of country, but thou tho cradle was tho harvester; a few rcapors were being introduced at that time; heavy cumbersome things, killing to tho animals that worked to thom, und many soon became wrecked from their own lilt liioienoy. So they did not take w ith tho farmers, being also high-] riced; they cost them from $190 to 8"200 Ith out the mowing attachment; they ure new made lighter, moro easily handled, and much cheaper; this" is a greili ad vautago, 80 more will bo bought and used. But KOIU0 of our people ask, "how an: wo to get any money, if WO stop raising cotton and raise all grain, grass and stock?'' Wo don't toll you to stop growiug cotton altogether, wo only loll you to plant Uss cotton, nud phud moro grain, and sow grass ami raise stock, and Ked yourselves, and buvo 'onie to spare to total tho city and vil lage folks; and stop buying ad your food supplies from tho merohauts bi como farmers in the true sense of tho meaning of the word, ai tl not merely eottOU planters, which menus, "the hewers of wood, and drawers O? water." I expect throe-fourths of tho people <>f thu South, inoluding farmers, are fed t u imported food, if that be so, can't ve help fooil them, and make .some molloy that May, and it' we did it, and reduced tho production of cotton, wu would get more money for our colton, ami feed ourselves and our follow citizens, ami liuvo two strings to our bow instead of ilie ono string, cotton won't wo bo Init ter oil'than exchanging our cotton crops for corn, Hour ami bacon? Wo have tried it long enough to convince ?my sensible man that it was the rum of our fat mors, and bas reduced some to abject poverty, Hence, lam glad to see tba*, farming Bon th is in a transit condition, getting ready to discard tho methods, td' the la.-.i fifteen or twenty years, and for adopting new methods. Let tho reaper and thc mower como fast and numerous among us, for it is an evidence of better times coining; it portends the making ol' our own foot! supplies, ami when that is tloiie, farm mortgages will cease and WO shall onco more become freo men, und unencumbered, ami visit our tow ns and ci lies as independent mell, willi no sus picions against us as debtors-merely "hewera of wood, and drawors of wator. I look for good results to come out ol the Interstate Convention of farmers to bo held in Atlanta in August next, where all matters pertaining to tho interest and welfare of tho farmers and farming will bo fully disoursed, Lot each tell his ox porionco ami compare notes, and lind exactly lu* we stand. lt will be au assemblage of intelligent men roproscnl mg several (States, and all part? ot each State. They know exactly tho condi tion of the farms and fanners from theil respective localities, ami can furnish cor rei t and reliable reports of the condition as it exists over a largo area of thu South. lt is to bo hoped that every Southon State will bo well represented. Let al the difforont kinda of farmers bo there tho cotton planters, tho rice planters, lb? ingar planters, tho grain and grus: fanners, tho tobacco raisers, and truel, farmers and fruit growers, and all kind: of farmers, and lot us have a big camp meeting, and o lass-moo ting, and love feast, and give in our experience, am compare notes, ami learn how wo stunt ihroughout the country.
