A FLYING TRIP.
Friday at 2 p. m. we left Atlanta, by
invitation, to attend the annual picnic
of the Ocmulgee larmer'a Club of Bibb
county
We were met at Bolingbroke by our
good friend and staunch Granger, Eden
Taylor, Esq., Secretary of the Geor
gia State Grange, and without incident
of note, re cited hie farm about dusk,
where we were met with a Georgia
welcome. Mr. Taylor’s residence is
moat charmingly situated on an emi
nence that commands an extensive
view of the rolling, but fertile fields of
old Monroe. By the way, the place
was owned by the writer’s father, some
fifty years ago, long before this depon
ent saw the light; and in a thick grove
near by the present stately mansion,
are found only a few bricks to mark
the spot where our ante-natal paternal
■domicil once stood.
The grounds and fields around the
house and as far as our observation ex
tended, bore evidence of skillful exer
cise of the Granger’s art; and there are
attractions of a different character,
which well merit, and doubtless receive
the admiring attention of lovers of
beauty and grace in the human form
divine.
The club room is located near the
residence of Capt. Robt. E. Park, on the
banks of the beautiful Ocmulgee, and
about ten or twelve miles north of
Macon. By 10 o’clock the grove was
thronged with a goodly assemblage of
the intelligent farmers..of that part
of Bibb and the adjoining portion of
Monroe, with wives and daughters,
and a smart sprinkling of Macon folks
—among them a score of Mercer boys.
Os the speaking it does not become us
to say anything, but we feel perfectly
free to express our high gratification
at the pleasure we enjoyed with new
acquaintances and old, and in the per
sonal recognition of many kinships.
The dinner was unsurpassed by any
in our recollection, and on the whole
the occasion was one to be long remem
bered. This part of Middle Georgia is
unexcelled for the natural beauty of its
gently rolling surface, the fertility of
its soil, the intelligence and hospitality
of its citizens, and healthfulness of its
water and air.
Ocmulgee Farmer’s Club, we were
told, originated many years ago, in a
country debating society. It has given
full proof of its usefulness in the en
lightened spirit of progress that has
been shed abroad among the farmers,
and which has enabled them to com
pete successfully with any portion of
the State. Its comfortable club room
was built with the proceeds of a premi
um awarded the club at the State Fair,
several years ago, for the best county
display, and after a most spirited con
test. We doubt if there is a live-er
club in Georgia, and we heartily com
mend its example to other sections.
Saturday night we spent with a
most excellent and worthy kinsman,
who in the matter of children could
“see” our six and “go six better.” Our
readers must not suppose from the
above expression, that we are versed in
gaming phraseology. We use the
phrase almost so innocently as our host
was said to have used a similar one on
an occasion when engaged in earnest
prayer for the success of a protracted
meeting—that he "might be the Lord’s
right bower."
When asked by Madame de Stael
.( we believe it was) who was the great
est woman in France, Napoleon replied
“she who has born the greatest num
ber of children.” Long may these
“jewels of the househould” reflect the
radiance of purity and gentleness, im
parted by the careful hands of father
and mother to the joy and comfort of
approaching age.
Sunday morning we attended service
at D imascus church, and heard an ex
cellent sermon by Rev. W. C. Bass,
D.D., of Macon. Dinner time fonnd
us, with several friends, at the hospit
able Bachelor's Hall of Mr. J. My rick,
in the midst of a fine old plantation.
The house is surrounded by groves and
well tilled fields, and within all is com
fort and welcome and good cheer. Our
friend only needs one additional orna
ment to complete the attractions of his
home and comfort his lonelyness.
We spent the afternoon and early
evening at the home of Capt. A. H.
Lockett where we were most delight
fully entertained until the hour for the
train arrived, when we boarded it, and
soon arrived in Atlanta.
The recollections of the trip, thus
ended, will be treasured as the most
pleasant of our life, and already anti
cipations of a repetition in the future
steal over our mind.
GERMAN MILLET.
The rage for planting this crop is
not so great as it was several years ago,
and some even condemn it as unworthy
of attention; but the weight of testi
mony is in its favor as a valuable addi
tion to our list of forage crops. It is
now a good time to sow it, which
should be done on well plowed and
rich soil at the rate of one bushel of
seed per acre. It is hardly worth
while to put German millet on poor
land. Its habit of quick growth and
the thick seeding necessary to reduce
the size of the stalks, causes a very
heavy draught on the resources of the
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1881.
soil. Besides it makes a large quantity
of seed even when sow thick enough
for forage.
When cut at the right stage and
well cured, mules will do well on millet
hay without corn. For hay it is much
better suited than the cat tail millet
—Pearl millet. The latter is best
for long continued cutting and feeding
green. In fact, we know of no plant
that equals the cat tail in this respect,
as it will bear to be cut four or five
times, and sedßis to thrive upon it. It
has also the additional merit, that
while the soil cannot be too rich for it,
yet owing to its tall habit jit will make
fair growth and do moderately well on
moderately rich ground. Cat-tail mil
let is not suited for hay-making, while
German millet is
BERMUDA GRASS.
Mr. Z. I. H. Moore gives, in the
Southern Cultivator, a new way to “kill
Bermuda grass.” He says—“ Turn hogs
and cattle on it for three years, and
take care of them as you do of your
cotton, and you will never want to kill
it." And we believe it. During a re
cent visit to Monroe county, we saw
several fields of Bermuda that were
considered as profitable to the owners
as any cotton or corn field. Energetic
farmers find no insuperable difficulty
in managing the Bermuda fields so as
to produce crops of oats every year, if
desired, and even cotton is successfully
grown. One of the chief merits of this
grass depends upon its tenacity of life,
—also considered its most objectionable
feature —by those who have been
brought up to look upon grass as an
unmitigated evil. We have no doubt
there are men in Georgia to-day who
would be willing to see every variety
of it etterminated from the earth.
Tbe possibilities of Middle Georgia
with a proper appreciation of the value
of Bermuda are grand. We believe
the day will come when every hill and
vale will be clothed in verdue and pro
ductiveness, such as few of the old set
tlers ever dreamed of. For twenty or
thirty years past we have heard of the
gullies or red clay-galls of Middle Geor
gia as if they were the signet of decay
and desolation.
But the red clay of this section
abounds in all the inorganic elements
of fertility, and the soil needs only to
be covered and filled with the remains
of vegetable growth—humus—to teem
with a productiveness that is rarely
dreamed of by the old style farmer
who believes that soil never grows
better, but always poorer by cultiva
tion.
FERTILITY—HOW IT ORIGIN
ATES.
If we took a quantity of rocks, such
as we find in the various parts of the
earth’s surface —granite, slate, quartz,
limestone, etc. —and, after grinding
them to different degrees of fineness,
were to mix them together in different
proportions, we could, from the known
composition of these various rocks,
produce soils which would contain the
most important mineral ingredients of
plant food in very different proportions.
Assuming that we purposely made one
soil as rich as we could in this food,
one as poor as we could, with two
others in intermediate stages, and then
left them exposed to the ordinary in
fluence of sun and rain—l am here as
suming the. experiment to be tried up
on several acres, and the artificial soil
to be several feet deep—we should find
that the seeds of plants carried by the
winds and other agencies would spread
and grow upon these soils with very
different degrees of rapidity; and, as
suming that we were able to watch the
process for thousands of years, we
might see several remarkable changes
in the character of the vegetation. The
surplus of the winter store of acorns
laid up by a mouse might give rise to
a forest of oaks, thick enough to des
troy all the previous vegetation of grass,
and again an accidental fire or a hurri
cane might sweep away the forest veg
etation, to be replaced by growth of
some other kind.
The character and amount of the
vegetation would differ greatly on the
different soils, and the largest amount
would be found on the soil where the
plant could get the largest amount of
food.
There being no carbon or combined
nitrogen in the soil, the first plants
would be entirely dependent upon
what they could obtain of these sub
stances, directly or indirectly, from
the atmosphere. Rainwater always
contains ammonia, and the plant and
soil may condense a certain further
amount from the atmosphere; but
growth, even in the soil richest in min
eral food, would at first be small, as the
decomposition of carbonic acid and fix
ation of carbon would be limited by
the amount of combined nitrogen
which the plant could obtain from the
sources mentioned above; and it would
be much greater where the most abun
dant mineral food existed, every
particle of nitrogen would be there used
up; while where there was less mineral
food, some of the nitrogen might pass
through the soil and be lost.
Each year a certain portion of the
vegetable growth dies off; leaves and
branches fall, and portions of the roots
decay; the greater part of the organic
portion which falls upon the surface of
the ground returns again to the atmos
phere, but a certain part remains, and
added to that which decays under
ground, becomes available for future
growth. The atmosphere of the soil,
which at first differed little from that
which exists above it, becomes highly
charged with carbonic acid, which de
composes the mineral in the soil; and
thus, year by year, more and more of
the nitrogen, collected by each genera
tion of plants, becomes available for
the generation that succeeds it.
Upon the greater number of the or
dinary soils the proportion of both car
bon and nitrogen becomes less and less
as we penetrate below thesurface: con
sequently these substances must have
had their origin in vegetation which
had once grown upon the surface.
Some soils which are called alluvial,
[Kisses a subsoil fertility, which appears
to have been a deposit derived from
the remains of vegeiation washed from
other soils. Fertility is therefore due
to the organic residue of previous gen
erations of plants, mixed with certain
mineral substances, the most important
of which are phosphoric acid and
potash.— Dr. Lawes.
