The Union Times

We clip the following from the News and Courier, which shows that there is one farmer in the State, who is farming for all the good there is in it, making six crops in one year on the same land. We reproduce it so that our farmers can give it a try if they are so inclined. Making two blades of grass grow where only one grew before isn't in it alongside of this record. In speaking of the several fine crops the editorial says:

"One example will suffice. Mr. W. S. Key, it is noted, favors a poor, light piece of land just outside of Beaufort, but after raising a fine crop of oats averaging 30 bushels to the acre, planted it in corn in May, making 30 to 35 bushels to the acre, at the same time growing a full crop of peas, which yielded 10 to 12 bushels per acre; and now has growing 'a second crop of cowpeas,' which will be harvested in time to make way for crops of turnips and cabbages on the same ground-making six crops grown on the same ground in one year."
