A foi r room dwelling on
Merver stree
•rtul le
er street, near Crawford, neat gjklfl
exeellent well of** 1 -"*
liavctnem. From what I have learned
from them 1 find that a more intimate
knowledge of their business is the one
thing needed. They have as tine i cli
mate, as good lands, and as reliable labor
as the Virginia farmer has, bub tl ey ns a
cla^aro sally deficient in agricultural ed.
uculiou. Th*s is at the bottom of all their
trouble. Jhe formation of Granges
has had oue good etfect al
ready—that of briugiug tho edu
cated and experienced planter in close
contact l»y association in the Grange with
his hard-working, uneducated brother,
who, by hard knocks year after year,
has ouly succeeded in keeping grim pov
erty at bay, and not ban sb him ont ulto-
gether. Let tho eduoated Grangeis study
closely aud carefully works on agriculture
and agricultural chemistry, and then in a
plain unscientific manner explain to their
brethren tho results of thoir studios and
experiments, by this means. Years ago
in Virginia and Maryland we raised the
standard of farming from what it is now
in Georgia, to that which the beautiful
Valley of Virginia now shows to the trav
eler. Agricultural societies did for Vir
ginia aud Maryland then, what the
Granges can do for Georgia and Alabamu
now if they will but pursue tbe sumo
course of study. Experiments, and then
giving to their members in essays or lec
tures the results of their labor in the
study, laboratory and Held. An entire
change in the mode of fanning must be
made. Smaller farms, deep plowing,
rotation of crops, and saving of manuies
must take the place of the present shack
ling system. Let the planter begin tho
new system this fall, with the oat aud
wheat crops. First, by putting in only
so much laud as he can manure with
farmyard manure and composts and such
commercial fertilizers as his own experi
ence has shown him to be good.
By a little industry he can, in a month
or six weeks from this time, make an as
tonishing amount of compost, if ho ouly
trios. Let him rig up an ox-cart or one-
horse wagon, and go down to the swamps
and get swamp muck. Lpt him spread it
out aud dry it. Then take three bushels
of uuslaoked lime, dissolve one bushel of
salt in as little water as possible, and slake
the lime therewith; with every ten bushels
of dried muck mix one and a half bushels
of tho suit and lime mixture. Take a
layer of the prepared earth, put ou it n
layer of horse, cow or hog manure, or
cotton seed, and then put a layer of pre
pared earth (muck, salt and lime), ten
times more than the stable manure, and
so ou overy day, keeping tho heap moist,
but not so saturated that the soluble j.arts
would run out. Let him also gather all
the lo ives (pine or oak) and compost with
lime and salt, and when rotten throw on
tho other compost heap.
By pursuing the above directions from
>w until oats and wheut seeding time in
e fill—say until 1st of December, after
hieh no wheat or winter oats should be
the farmer will bo astonished to
d ont how largo an amount of fertili-
rs he has made, aud at a very small ex
cuse, too. Just before breakiug up his
and for wheat or oats, let him haul
•ut and scatter this compost over his*
flaud, and thon turn it under. Then sow
and harrow in well his wheat or oats, and
next year ho will lind that lie can make
more on twenty-five acres well tilled, than
on one hundred acres tilled under the old
aystem. Let him also becareful in select
ing good seed for sowing. Fully as much
is lost from bud seed as from poor laud.
Of tho wheats best adopted to this cli
mate and soil I would prefer a boarded
variety, an 1 of oats none can bo fouud
superior to the rust proof raised by Mr.
Win. H. Young. Boarded wheat is less
liable to ruHt, aud for that reason I prefer
it, and if of tho red variety is still more
Becure. Right here comes in rotations of
crops, a thing more needed just now in
jthis country thau anything else, if they
wish to improve their lands permanently.
With the sowing of wheat and oats be-
;ius tbo animal work of the farmer, and
ight hero be ought to so adjust bis fields
to lay them off into four divisions for
irming, under the four-field system,
ie one best adapted to this sec^iou. Be-
[in, say, if he has 100 ucres of cleared
Mid in a body, by making four fields of
it- 1st, field wheat and outs, or wheat
itire, or oats entire as ho prefers. Next
iy, after the grain has been taken off,
him get a good four-mule plow, Watt’s
.ttern, and a two-mule subsoil. Let
proceed to break the land up with the
mr-mulo followed iu tho same furrow
f the two-mnle subsoil. After he has
us thoroughly broken up bis land,
t him harrow it well with a two-mule
arrow, and thou sow broadcast very
ickly acropof peas. About the middle of
jptember let him take a hanow or roller
,nd level the peas down to tho ground;
hen ppread from 40 to 100 bushels of un
packed lime on the peas; after that let
him turn the peas uuder, and by cotlon
miauling time he will have a 25 acre field
hat, unless it is injured by drought, ca’-
irpillar, or boll worm, will make him the %
msuing season a 500 pound bale of lint
lotton to the acre; and what is better
till, it will not need any other manure,
jxcept a crop of peas turned under the
ourth year, for eight years, and he will
*nd on clay land that the lime will last
hat length of time. On sandy soils poos
,nd lime will be required every fourth
/ear, tho latter, being more porous, will
[ose their fertility sooner thau clay soils,

his enclosures, let tho plauter take every
spare moment to fixing bis harness,
farming tools, gins, Jkc. This can bo
done very ofteu at times when he is loaf
ing at cro-s loads’ stoios or doggeries,
wasting bis time in discussing pditios!
aud the everlasting nigger. If bo will
quit loafing and discussing tho nigger so
muck and attend to his farm, it won’t bo
long before Mr. Nigger will begin to ad
mire tho new system, and cutclnng tho
spirit of improvement nbroad, will go to
work willingly. Fixing up dwelling
houses and adding comforts for the fam
ily will all go along naturally with the
cultivation of the land, when onco im
provement gets fairly uuder way.
Although 1 am a city man, and my busi
ness now is to make my living out of the
planter, yet my welfare and his are so very
closely connected that I have at all times,
and will always iu future, strive to benefit
them and raise the standard of thoir pros-
p?rity in every way I cau. To the Gran
ges, if well conducted, do I look for tho
means to arise to redeem our broken
down people from the bondage to debt
aud poverty they are now in. They, and
they alone, can, by a united effort, raise
tho country from tho fallen estate it is
now in. Let them begin with tho soil,
and by close and enroful study aud exper
iments, strive to improve that first of all,
for from that proceeds tho wealth of nil.
Get thoir lands iu good t ilth, and wealth,
direct trade and political power will fol
low. Wealth is power, aud wealth cau
come to them from tho soil alone. Agri
culture has now become a science, and to
be successful i.s a planter one must call in
tho aids that science gives him. Science
has revolutionized agriculture, and now in
all civilized countries the man who dis
dains scieuco and depeuds upon hard
knocks fails. You ueed all tbe assistance
yon can get from it, and science alouc
comes from education. Ignoranc’e and
poverty cling together in darkness, but
education and intelligence combined with
industry diffuse a joyous light over this
fair universe of ours.
Study agricultural chemistry, and if
Mossed with a better education than your
poor neighbor, give them all the benefit
you can of it. Take tho best agricultural
journals, and there learn what you need
either in tillage or iu agricultural machin
ery and tools. Buy all the labor-saving
machines you con, and learn how to use
them.
Agricultural mechanics has made rapid
strides in improvement during the past
twenty years in machinery and tools, and
I am sorry to say tho majority of planters
in Georgia and Alabama have not kept up
with it. Without good tools it is impos
sible to do good work. Rope harness
and uncurried mules won’t make good
crops.
You have now a State chemist; make
use of him : send specimens of the differ
ent kinds of soil on your farm, and get
him to tell you what are the best manures
for it, and if ho won’t, or can’t toll you,
turn him out and get some one who can.
You Grangers have tho power to accom
plish this, and I beg of you to see that it
is well done.
Yon must know the constituents of your
soil, aud learn how to treat them just ns
the physician treats tho diseases of tho
human frame.
Find ont tho nature of your land and
how to improvo it, and then prosperity
will come; aud never cease your effoits
until you have obtained it.
I have endeavored in this essay to
awaken tho planting community to the
necessity of tho hour. All I ask is for the
industrious and intelligent to pursue the
plans I have suggested, feeling sure their
labors will bo amply repaid. Tho iguo-
rnut, stingy, and lazy, of course, will not
be benefitted by them.
Yours, truly,
Virginia.
