Excerpt from North Carolina Conditions Inviting Farming, Trucking, Cattle-Raising and Dairying: Soils and ClimateThere is too much of a tendency among farmers coming here from the North to ignore cotton and to go into other crops to the exclusion of cotton. Northern men coming South are too apt to attribute the worn and wasted condition of much of the upland soil to the cultiva tion of cotton, and they imagine that cotton is a very exhaustive crop, while the very reverse is true, for, so far as the lint is concerned, there is no crop grown that draws so lightly on the fertility of the soil as cotton, and when the seed are properly applied to the rational feeding of cattle and the return of the manure to the soil in a good rotation of crops, there is no crop with which the land can be more rapidly improved than in the cultivation of cotton. No good farmer, coming to a new location, can afford to ignore what has been long proved to be the best money crop of the section.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
