-V ■m* iKS.'miS THOUGHTS FOR MAY. (coatioaed.) One very prouioeat thought with ftll fkriners at tbia season of the year is, or ought to be, am I mak ing any money by my preaeut sys tem ot farming f Does cotlou at present prices pay for its cultiva tion, or are we sinkiog deeper and deeper in the mire every year, aud bom long vili it take for us to go under altogether f The average production of cotton in tbie State, according to the re port of the Oommiasiooer ot Agri eoltnre, is one hundred aud forty- •even pounds of lint to the acre. If we taka twenty acrea to the mule, that will give ua six bales, aud at preeent prices, two buudred and forty dollars for a one horse crop. Can we live at that f Can we pay the odHaur) dues te State, church, and schools, food and clothing, with that amount of money T The pop ulation of this State is one million, of whom half are dependant upon the culture of cotton, aud oue half or two hundred and Sfty thou sand are workers. We Imee two hundred and fifty thousand labor era to make five hundred thousand bale# if cotton, or a saleable crop of Wpity dollars to each worker If tipi were dear profit we might baas some ho|>e of keeping onr beads at least above the mad, bnt if WMapsider that one half of our r lanmerfcdo not make AH their pmj visions, aud nearly al' are de|>eud- ant upon the West for their mules and horses, and upon the North for their4>lougUa, bay «nd other tools td^lwrlpwitfc, that cojfeleleial fer tilisers consume a large portion of 4%meat aad corn another, our con dition seemt well nigh hopHess. Was ever an agricultural people in •neb a conditiou t What shall we * do, find out the canse aud remedy, or give up the fight and turn legis lators t A bright lad of au adjoin ing county told na the other day that be bad made peace with Moth •r Earth and did not intend to bit her another lick as long as be lived. We tbiak we bad better follow bis example unless we can hit her to more profit than we have been do log. la there no remedy for this T Yes, ^4 -the remedy Hhs In a nut shell; work moye. spend less, make all onr pro visions at home and let cotton be not the principal ami only crop, but an extra crop to fill in the vac in dee of the more important crops of provisions. Make, by better man ariagand better cultivation,ou one acre, what we now take two to make. The average of onr county can, by better cultivation alone, be earned up from its present return to three bnndred pounds of Hut to the acre, and if we add to that a little better and more scientific ays tern of manuring, we can raise it to . a bale to the acre. Can cotton, be grown at eight eenta a pound formiddlingf Un der onr present system of farming experience and flgnres both show that it is not and cannot be; bat we •ay that nnder a more improved system with better cultivation, more scientific manuring and more eoou omy in the prodnetion aud prepar ation for market, it ean and will be and with profit to the farmer. What do we mean by au improv ed system of farming f We plant two acres to make the crop of one. We pat tbe manure on two acres that should be put on one. We at tempt to make np in breadth what onr land wants in thickness, aud the boast among onr farmers is, that I cultivate fifty or sixty acres to tbe plough. W# want aooncentra- tton of manure and work upon half ef wbnt we now ran over. There is a story illustrative of this point of a farmer who farmed fogfcy acres ot land and barely supported his wile ea|d three dang^teri. Upon tbe marriage of bis oldest daughter be r_ . | fare bee off tea acres, and pnt the batne manure and work ou thirty, sad made as much as he bad done oa forty. So with tbe second and third danghter nntil bis farm was mdooed te ten acre^ when with the Mate amount of work and manure, be mode as much on the ten as be bad done on tbe torty. We do not ■jp f |> pretend to any that the earns thing dotadfo^dooe with onr cotton crop, aa we have beretefbee attempted te • donbt but that onr crops may be dee bled on tbe Mme land we now ealtirnte by doubling the manors aad the work on it. Whether it will pay Is for experience to decide And then as to economy of labor- - We ran Cetffatrews with tbe plough te ’sdbomp'islr what one will do. What benefit is it f j plough corn tbe first ploughing with fear far rows of t£e shovel, where two with es*e«p will affect as much if not more, and so with cotton. Wonld it not be lietter to give our crops two farrows every week than font every fortnight T All the cnltiva- tiou that they need sfter the land is once thoroughly prepared, is a slight scratching of the i>urfiu-e to i kill tbe grass and break the crust | to let iu the air and moisture. The ! ofteuer this is done the b.-lter for tbe crop. Wa have no doubt but that w barlow mu through the crop twice a week would pay iu the in creased production ot it, and as oue furrow twice a week is uo more work tbati four furrows a rortuight, the ex(ieuse of cultivation would uot lie increased. But can cotton tie made at eight cental We tbiuk so and will iu our next try to show bow it cau be tloue. We will lake a one horse farm, the hisp ric forty acres and a mule,‘and show by ac tual- figures, counting the cost of production, labor, manure, &c., then set oft against that a fair crop, such as has been made by hundreds of white farmers ia our country, aud show a profit in cotton planting even at eight c^uts. General Casemeir told me of a German who was sightly woundeii in the first engagement of the war in which ilia command participan d.
