AGRICULTURAL. | 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. Dividend , JYo* 45.
