Oti!v look 415 back, and observe the difference in the cal- culation made on my farm at Orange-hill, in the allowance of myself, two sons, and wife, doing our own work, and not hiring for it. It is a plain demonstration betwixt the working farmer and the man of plea- sure, and there is no horse charged. The overseer costs the planter two hundred pounds per y...ear ; and the tobacco bears the blame, in part, for its not being profitable. Asto spoiling the land, it is the intended use of the greatest part of the land in America ; tobacco first for two or three years, and either wheat or rye and Indian corn after- wards. Tobacco, at fifty pounds an acre ; for twenty acres gives one thousand pounds. These employ seven or eight negro men or women. It is said to be a year's work to go through the process : so it is : the preparing the land in March and April ; planting in May ; hoeing and overlooking in June, July, Au- gust, and September ; cutting and hous- ing in October ; the other months in moist weather to be pulling the leaves of the to- 416 bacco sulks and ^ ing tlicm for marked ; in frotty weather clearing the wood oflf, tu pUiu new Und the next jetr, and ci the wood for rails, fire, &c.
