I)o you know I am smitin.uo in
clined to think it's laziuess that; is a'
the bittoen of this aversion of diver
sifying crops? I do: and I'll tell r hn Ii
why. The average planttr has his
overseer, and when a crop of cotton is
to be pickel, any 1i; yeari old negro
knows as well as te owner or over
Sseer the rotione of work that is to be
gone through with --bed up the land
imost any way, rput the seed on the
ground, and trust to the rains to
Scover them: bar off, chop out, dirt,
1burst out the middles if convenient-
if not, dirt 2 or 3 times more, and
hoe it once or twice, according to
whether the overseer has been watch
util and stopped Ivir. Nig's grub a week
or twe to put him on his mettle.
Then when she begins to pop open,
Mr. Nig throws down his tools in the
Sfield, and hIes him away t town to
ihaul out pickers to gather the crop,t
while he does nothing but eat all the
1 grub he can get and come out in
debt at th3 end of the year. Audl,
when picked, the cotton is put on the t
ground or in baskets, just as convet.
tence dictates, and eventually carried
to the gins in a dirty c')ndltion-the
prcees of ginning being expected to
correct all past abuses. Cotton is

" 1. Alfalfa may be planted any

of think the early Fall the better time..

of most any freezes we may have, uai
