t3f“ We wish there were a whole race of Sanderlins aud that they were scattered promiscuously all over North Carolina. Jual hear how Col. Creecy talks about one of them: “On Friday Rev. G. W. Sanderlin, on his California farm in Pasquotank county, cut over with a reaper nearly thirty acres in timothy from which he housed fifty tons of hay. It made about one ton and a half of hay to the acre. He will cut over the same land in September. This crop was made without the use of fertilizers and shows what can be done in raising the grasses in our county. We owe Mr Sanderlin a debt of gratitude for his efforts to introduce better crops and better agriculture among us. He first raised rice among us and showed the capabilities of our highlands in the production of that valuable crop. lie is a progressive and enterprisiug agriculturist and is doing much for the benefit of our timid and slow farmers. On his plantation in Wayne county he aims to supply the want of labor by the introduction of labor-saving machinery. With two boys, four mules and two cultivators he does the work of eight men, eight mules and eight plows. Such a man is a public benefactor and deserves better of his country than the whole race of politicians put together.”—Raleigh Observer.
