DAVID DICKSON. Letter No. xvi. Extract from a Letter written to James A. Nisbet. Experts. * * * * During last year, I learned some valu- able new lessons. One was the training of hands to do double the amount of work, with more ease, and less of sweat and muscle. My former hands, being better trained than others, had better offers than I could give, and nine-tenths of them left me. I then employed hands from as many as forty plantations ; and got none that knew how to work to any advantage. I h...ad hands before the war that could pick six hundred pounds of cotton in a day, all by daylight; and all hands that went to the fields averaged three hundred pounds per day, without any Avhite man in the field. All of my trained hands have now applied to come back, preferring one-third of the crop gathered on my place, to one-half on the places worked last year. Whilst I owned them, they told me to plant thirty-eight acres in corn and cotton, and seventeen acres in wheat and oats, and they would cultivate it with my aid, in preference to twenty acres under an overseer, and could do it with more ease.
