DlYemMcaMOU and Hotatiou hi Faini
There arc a gi at many farmers who
use vary little .if any diversification
In their farming. They plant one or
two orops, as, for Instance, In our sec?
tion, OOtton and corn. And a great
deal n or.- cotton than corn is plant?
ed.
Let US Consider the condition of the
farmer who plants a large crop of
cotton, and a small field of corn, mere?
ly as a side issue. If he has good
seasons in which to work his crop, and
lean get a plenty of labor, he will
I make a good, crop of cotton. But
even If he makss ;i large crop, he
cannot tell what the price will be. If
he can gel a good price, then he is
In I fine condition; hut ' the price
IS like it was last fall, he .nay make
very little money, or none at all. And
if he has bad seasons, and cannot get
his cotton worked, at the end <>f the
year he will probably be heavily In
debt. Then also, the feed f?f his
stock wilt soon give out. and he will
have fo buy some. s... we lee; If ft
man plants a great deal of cotton to
the exclusion of other crops, in- is
really gambling. This does not Apply
to cotton alone, but to any crop. The
farmer who plants nearly all of his
farm in one crop, is liable to And him
elf |n the same condltlojn as the farm?
er who plante ? great deal of cotton
and very little else,
<>n the oth.r hand, if he plants a
plenty of coi n. lOWi peas In the com
at the JaSI plowing, plants some cot?
ton, (for in our part of the country
cotton is the chief money crop), sows
some p.-as broadcast for hay, and in
the fall plants as much o;\ts as he
thinks he will need, and puts the rest
of his land In clover, rye. or some
oth. r crop, to be used as pasture, or
to be turned under in the spring PI
green manure, he Will !>?? farming on
a much safer basis, For even if be
makes nothing on his cotton, he has
a plenty of teed for his own use. and
Sometimes some to sell. And if he
has some cattle and hogs, which every
farmer oughl to have, he win have
pork. milk, and butter to supply his
fftmlly, and perhaps some to dispose
Of,
Anotin r important reason f<T di?
versifying in farming is this: if a
farmer has several different kinds of
? tops there will be n<? times when he
cannot keep up with his work, and
then, later on, have nothing to do,
hut the work will be more evenly
distributed throughout the year.
It is iafc to s jy that a farmer should
not sell hay and grain, unless he
mak.s more than he can profitably
j Use. but should feed it to his Cattle
and hogs and then sell them. For If
I he sells the feed he will be taking
I plant food from (he soil ami puttin?
j nothing back In Its place; bul if he
j uses the f.I "ii his own farm, he w ill
hnve a plent) of stable manure to
I put back on the la ml.
Th. keeping of good cattle and hogs
goes hand In bind with good fanning,
for it Is by them that we may hope to
keep our soil l. ttiie. or to make it
noie productive, without the use of
much commercial fertiliser. Rtablo
I manure j n eful in many ways; it
contains it gr< >t deal ?>f plant food,
The more humus there iv? in a soil,
the more open it Is, and the more
j easily can Ihe plant roots grow, H
ha been phown fnat ground that Is
I w.di supplied w ith humus stays warm?
.er 'ban mound thai Is not; also, that
th.- humui will hoi.i water longer In
a drought.
I Along with diversification of crops
We OUghl ftlSO to use some good sys
of rot itlon. The rotatln of crops
Ing
Ii very Important, principally because
Of the following reasons: we know
that some plants remove more nitro?
gen. othe rs more potash, and others
more phosphoric acid, etc., from the
soil. Xow jf we plant the land In
the same crop year after year, and
thli crop : eeds more potash than it
does oth.-r plant food, after a while
all the potash in the soil will he used
up. whil j a large quantity of nitro?
gen and phosphoric acid will still re?
main. Also, jf we plant cotton or a
grain crop year after year en the
same piece of alnd all the humus will
soon be removed from the son. But
if we plant cotton or a grain crop, fol?
lowed by clover or peas, the roots of
which are a val jahle source of the
humus supply, we will keep the soil
Well supplied with humus, and at the
same time remove equal amounts of
the different paint foods from the
soil.
Pea* are a very important crop, not
onlj as a source of the humus supply.
I ut a|ao hecause they gather nitro
- -n from the air and store it in the
voll, Now. nitrogen is the most ex?
pensive fertiliser that we. have to buy,
and ao by planting peas we save a
great 1 al. If hay Is needed the pea
vlnei may be cut, hut pect-vines
ploughed under are fine for green ;
manuring.
i >n account of the differences In
soils and climate, no hard and fast
rule can 1 e laid down for the ro?
tation of crops, But, according to the
experiments made at the Experiment
static r of Clemson College, cotton
grows* lest after corn or peas, corn,
bast after rye. oats hest after corn
and peas. However, the best way to
lind a good system of rotation is for
e tc h farmer to make experiments on
his own land, and watch his neigh- {
bor'l farms, and lea what crops d )
better after others. i
But we must not expect that by a 1
judicious rotation of crops we can
keep our soil up to its original ferti?
lity. For no matt r what crop wo
plant, some plant food is removed
from the soil hy th>s crop. For in?
stance, peas, though tin y gather nit?
rogen from the air, uaa up other plant
food-. The reason that most crops
kr?n Bo well alter clover and peal
li thai the plant food shut up In the
so;i in unavailable form is made
j available by these crops. Thus, the
plant food is used up that much tast?
er. The way we can keep our lands
fertile is by the use of staid,, ma?
nure.
Good gardening is a part of diver?
sified farming, Every farmer should
have a g'???d garden, and have such a
variety of vegetables that he can
get some from his garden all the year
round. The lame kind of vegetable
should not be planted tho same place
every year, hut should be planted a
little way off, io that any disease that
la common to that vegetable will h?
left In the soil and not b ither It
another year.
In conclusion, I would say that the
chief cause for diversification tr
fanning is that in planting ott n
alone, or any other on? crop, the
farmer is putting himself at the
mercy of labor, and at the merry of
the market. Motation is important he
cause it keeps humus In the soli and
removes about equal amounts of plant
foods from the soil.
BLA1N smith CASE DISMISSED.
Whiskey rax' Heard Before Magis?
trate Ingram Saturday in Sum*
ter.
-
The ease against Blatn Smith for
ordering whiskey in another name
than his own was heard Saturday in
this city before Magistrate Ingram,
the venue having been moved from
Judeg Wells before whom the caei
was to have been heard.
The < ase was one commenced al?
most i y.ar ago when a negro was
arrested for transporting whiskey
from Tourney to this city. There
were forty "plaits of whiskey in the
shipment, but negro uot away with
the greater part of it before the ar?
rival of Deputy Sheriff Sykes, going to?
ward Statehurg. It was nleged oy
tin- prosecutors that Rlatn Smith had
ordered 100 quarts of whiskey in
two shipments, the se< >nd shipment
i'. Ing order* d in the name of Peter
l ?av Is, it u as farther alleged that
lilaln Smith ha<i forced a drayman to
go to Toumey with him and ask for
the whiskey consigned to Peter Davis,
gh ing that as his name and singing
for it as such.
Magistrate Ingram dismissed the
ease on the grounds that On* negro
hackman wns not worthy of belief
and the other witnesses did not have
sufficient evidence to substantiate the
charge.

Claims to be l(,s years old. and seems
to be positive as to the correctness
Of his age. He talks interestingly of
by-gone li. ys. His sight and hearing
are remarkably good for one so old,
and his health and gem tai prescrva
tion is above what an observer would
expect Of a man w ho was born In the
year Enoch belonged to the
Witherspoons and was owned by Cap?
tain jack Witherspoon. in his youth
he lived on the Captain's plantation on
Black River 12 miles above Klngstree.
He waited on his master until death
broke the tie. He then became the
property of Capt Wltherspoon's
youngest daughter, Ellen, who is now
Mrs. Allen Huggins, of Marion, she
sold Enoch to Mr. \Ym. Rogers ??f
Bishopville and it was while In Mr.
Rogers' hands, 46 years ago. that he
was set free. Two years after freedom
Enoch moved to the Newman Bwamp
section. After that to Bishopville
wlnie he lived 8 or 10 years, then
moved to Harris Cross Roads, In Lee
County, a few weeks ago at the
earnest solicitation of his daughter,
the old man came to HartSVllle to
spend probably the balance of his
days. We hope* he wll be spared for
many more years. To talk with Uncle
Enoch carries one back to the stories
of "ye olden time." He Is humble and
polite, a trait to be admired in these
changing times, He remembers when
there was only three or four houses in
Sumter and doubtless could give the
people of the (lame Cock City S One
