From the Southern Cabinet.
THE ROOT CROP,
The doctrines of the necessity of a rota- •
tion of crops, has been gradually gaining
on the minds of the European agriculturists
for the last fifty years, hut like all innova- !
tions on the oIJ system, its progress was
very slow, till within the last few years.—
For a long time it was thought necessary
to suffer the land to rest every fourth year
—consequently, under the most favorable
circumstances, only three-fourths of the :
land was at any time under cultivation. — j
In process of tinre it was discovered that
the root crop, such as potatoes, turnips, ru- j
ta baga, carrots, &c., nearly all of which!
were gathered before their seeds were ma- ‘
tured, were less exhausting to the land
than the cereal grains ; that the turnip crop, j
especially, extracted much of its nutriment
from the atmosphere. Its broad porous i
leaves, which are the lungs of the plant,
serving at the same time to shade the earth
and mellow the soil. By substituting these |
crops a year was gained, and thus the land
produced an annual harvest either of hay, j
grain or roots.
The greatest improvements within the
last thirty years in the husbandry of a por
tion of Europe, in which we may include
Great Britain, Holland, Belgium, Prussia,
Saxony, Wirtemburg, and Baden, may be
traced to the cultivation of the root crop,
particularly the turnip. By this means the
sheep and horned cattle have doubled in
number, and the improvement in the stock
are nearly in the same ratio.
Irish potatoes— ( So/aiium tuberosum.)
The varieties of Irish potatoc cultivated
in Europe are immense. 1 observed in an
English catalogue one hundred and forty
six kinds advertised for sale, and there was
an omission of at least fifty varieties culti
vated in America and on the continent of
Europe. It should be observed, that in
Europe as well as in America, there are
kinds of the potatoc adapted to every vari
ety of soil and climate. There are parti
cular districts in England where the soil is
very favorable to one or two varieties, and
wholly unsuited to others which succeed
well in other localities. In England, the
Irish potatoes are divided into six and some
times seven classes.
1. Earliest garden sorts adapted for forc
ing on account of their dwarf habit of
growth.
2. Earliest garden potatoes so well
adapted tor forcing as tlie preceding on ac
count of their taller habit of growth.
3. Second early garden potatoes
4. Early field potatoes, the leaves and
stems of which, under ordinary circum
stances, are decayed by the time when they
are usually taken up, and,the tubes of
which are then fit for use.
Class sth. Lute field potatoes, the foliage
of which in ordinary seasons, does not de
cay until injured by frost, and the tubers
of which generally require to he kept some
time before being fit for using to the great
est advantage. *
0. Late, large, prolific sorts, more parti
cularly adapted fur feeding cuttle.
7. Late, unprolific, curious garden
sorts.
All these varieties of the potatoe have
originated from the same stock, and have
been produced not from the potatoe itself
but from the seeds growing on the vines
planted in the vicinity of other varieties, It
is well known that the potatoes being a
mere shoot or offset from the original plant,
will, like an engrafting on a tree, always
reproduce its own kind. It is also ascer
tained, that vegetables planted from bulbs,
will, in the course of time, become less pro
lific than formerly, and that resort must
again be had to seeds to produce new va
rieties. Thus, many varieties in Europe,
which were formerly much cultivated, and
our red potatoe and English whites, which
in America were once so highly-prized,
have had their day, and have given away
to other sorts raised from seed. It is the
same in regard to fruits. Our Spitzenbur
gers, Greenings, Pippins, andother apples
of the North, after successive generations
of engrafting do not now bear as abundant
ly as formerly, and resort must again ho
had to kindred varieties produced by seed.
It is doubtful, however, whether the mari
time districts of Carolina are as well adap
ted to the raising of new varieties of the po
tatoe from seed as the more northern
States. The bulbs require to be planted
one or two years before it is ascertained
whether the variety thus produced from
seed is worth cultivating. It is difficult on
account of the heat and moisture of our cli
mate to preserve the potatoe from rotting
during summer and autumn. Hence, we
are in nearly all cases dependent on our
northern and middle States for our planting
potatoes. It becomes, therefore, a matter of
great importance to select such varieties as
are known to be well adapted to our cli
mate. lam inclined to think from my own
experience, and that of several planters on
the Neck, that the success of our potatoe
crop depends in no small degree on the
kind of potatoe which we plant. On one
occasion 1 recollect having planted as an
experiment in my garden,three kinds of po
tatoe in alternate rows. One variety pro
duced an abundant crop of fine flavored
potatoes ; in another the product was only
moderate, whilst in the third I experienced
almost a total failure.
At present I only feel warranted in rec
ommending, from my own experience, one
variety of potatoe which I have seen plant
ed for the last seven or eight years with in
variable success. It is called the Early
Mercer potatoe. It may be distinguished
by other names in particular districts of
the North, but I believe it is generally I
known by the above name in the New York 1
Markets. It is somewhat oblong in shape,
a little flattened on the sides, yellowish
white, and eyes of a pink like colour.—
The flavour of this potatoe, which I have
had an opportunity of testing within a few j
days past, appears to me to be equal to that j
of the finest varieties in Europe. Its pro- :
duct is also equal to that of any other coun
try. As the cost ofthis is not greater than
that of other inferior varieties, I strongly !
recommend a trial of it to our planters. At j
an agricultural meeting in England, which
1 attended, the Ilopetoun early, was pro
nounced the most superior potatoc cnltiva- |
ted in England, and took the premium ae- !
cordingly. The “ Stafford Hall,” or as ft’
is sometimes called “I-ate Wellington pota
toe,” was found superior in specific gravity
and quantity of starch contained in a given
weight of tubers, to any other variety yet
i cultivated. A bushel of potatoes calledthe
Irish Bumper,” weighed from thirty to
1 fifty ounces, each tuber, whilst six others
lof the variety called “Pink-eyed Dairy
j Maid,” averaged sixty-eight ounces each.
The mode of culture does not differ ma
j terially from that of this country, except
that tlie rows are planted a little nearer.—
They are in England in all cases planted
in rows, and are supplied with coarse litter
|or manure. In France I found the potatoe
crop much neglected. The varieties culti
! vated were in general of inferior kinds, and
| the product small. I did not visit Italy,
I but was informed that the potatoe was
| scarcely cultivated there at this time, its
introduction having been obstinately resis
! ted till 1817. In Germany potatoes were
more abundant and of better flavour than
those of France, but inferior to those of En
gland. In Belgium, to my great surprise,
I saw potatoes planted in extensive fields of
from 100 to 500 acres in what may be ter
med broad-cast. The lands, as in all that
country, were not ploughed but dug up
with spades. The soil is very rich and
seemed to have also been well manured.—
The potatoes had been inserted into the
ground to the depth of six inches a foot a
part. On the 30th Sept, (which proved, to
he Sunday.) the Flemish peasants were dig
ging in their potatoes for their masters. —
This was in the field between brussels and
Antwerp. I enquired whether they were
not allowed to rest one day in the week.—
They answered that they had gone to mass
i early in the morning, and were now allow
ed to gather the potatoes for their winter
supply, which they received at a certain
price, and that they nevertasted meat from
the beginning to the end of the year. I
must needs say, that, although the terms
were hard, and the fare coarse, the potatoes
were good, and I nowhere saw a more a
bundant crop. They slated that they had
gone through the fields once with a hoe, af
terwards pulled out the weeds and left the
crop to manage for itself. It seemed as if
the whole earth was swelled and cracked
up with potatoes.
In our southern country the Irish potatoe
crop appears to have been too much neglec
ted, which may, in some respects, be ascri
bed to the trouble of annually importing
the roots. This inconvenience is now in a
great measure remedied by the facilities of
commerce and the cheapness of the article.
It is a very certain, arid generally an abun
dant crop. It affords wholesome food both
for man and beast. In the northern States
potatoes are boiled or steamed, and are es
sential ingredients to the fattening of hogs
! and horned cattle. They may be used on
1 a plantation, and in our families, from A
j pril to July. They come in about the time
| when our sweet potatoes are on the decline,
and may be used till the new crop of the
latter becomes to come in. That this is a
nourishing food who can doubt after seeing
the hardy race of Ireland, whose principal
subsistence is on the potatoe. His pig goes
to pay his “ rint,” but his “ parates-” feed
himself, his children, and his pig.
