For the last seven or eight years the
people of this section have been

never do we remember any
year, however unfavorable the
might have been, that a fair
crop was not made and of such quality
that it sold for leading prices.
There are several reasons which can
be very properly assigned for Hie good
crops that are made In this section.
First and most important is the nature
of the land. P. is of a light gray loam
and just undulating enough to make
the drainage about natural, hence there
is but little damage to the crops from
wet weather. The primitive growth of
this land is oak, dogwood, hickory, and
of but it is almost
sally true that when dogwood, hickory
and constitute the primitive growth
of land tobacco can be successfully
grown.
important agency which
contributes its full quote toward making
successful crops is the industry of the
people. A of people live there
that do the most of their work. In
other words they are a hard working
class of people and when they employ
help they make the help help some-
thing, which is very commonly neglect-
ed here in the south, and last, but by
no means the least to regarded, i
the fact that the majority of the-n are
natal farmers who own from forty to
one hundred and twenty-five acres of
land, and who cultivate their land
more the intensive the
system. Small farm are
becoming popular all over the south
and in some sections of our southern
states where a few years ago were large
areas of land from a thousand to five
thousand acres in a single tract are to-
day divided up and constitute a number
of farms. The old time southern
farms of days with their
princely homesteads are annually be-
coming more dilapidated and are being
rapidly converted into smaller farms,
and where a years ago one man
owned and controlled his thousands
acres which were cultivated by slow la-
to day is divided up into one
acre farms and to all appearances
this class of farmers are getting along
and doing better than the large land
owners. Why this is, no one seems to
know except that it is so. Our
are changed and the methods
must necessarily be changed also, but
the writer is not one that believes that
large farms cannot be managed as prof,
to-day as although it is
a popular idea and is advocated by our
most scientific agriculturists, and
demonstrated by a great many
of our farmers, notably those that we
have described above.
Yet we firmly believe that if
business methods were employed, the
large farms could be made to pay as
profitable dividends in to
price of farm product as formerly, and
we believe in a few years this will be
practically and conclusively proven
it say in connection that we
believe that our people are too slow to
adapt themselves to the changing con-
that are going on
and in this we believe lies the secret of
the failure of a majority of large farms.
As this article was not intended for a
discussion of large and small farms a-c
take occasion to say that we shall revert
to this subject at an early day.
Small farms cultivated upon the in-
tensive system as a matter of logic will
pay better than a large farm loosely
managed. This section that we have
above referred to which is about to
miles and to miles long is
managed and upon the
system, hence we give it m one of
tin reasons for the successful farmers n
