EXPERIMENT IN PLANTING COT-1
TON.
A few weeks since we published a com
munication from a correspondent, giving
the result of at) experiment in planting I
corn, by H. Massey, Esq. of this village.
Mr. Massey called upon us the other day,
to correct an important error in said com
munication, and invited us personally to
examine said field, which we accordingly,
did, and now give the results of our obser
vation :
Mr. Massey, took of the seed corn with
which he planted the field, a small quanti
ty, and soaked it in a solution of salt-nitre,
commonly called salt-petre, and planted
five rows with the seed thus prepared. The
remainder of the field, we believe, was
planted by the same individual. Now for
the result. The five rows were untouched
by the worms, while the remainder of the
iield suffered severely by their depreda
tions. We should judge that not one ker
nel saturated by salt-pretre was untouched,
while almost every hill in the adjoining
row’s suffered severely. No one who will
examine the field can doubt the efficacy of
the preparation. lie will be astonished at
the striking difference between the five ■
rows and the remainder of the field.
Here is a simple fact, which if seasona
bly and generally known, would save ma- j
ny thousands of dollars to the farmers of j
the country for corn. It is a fact, which j
should be universally known, and is, in all
probability one of the greatest discoveries
of modern times, in the neglected science
of agriculture. At all events, the experi
ment should be extensively tested, as the ;
results are deemed certain, while the ex- j
pense is comparatively nothing.
FAULTS OF FARMERS.
Judge , no, we give his borrowed
cognomen, Sam Slick, makes some judicious j ‘
reflections upon an important subject, to
which we ask the attention of all who are
interested in agricultural pursuits :
“ Avery large portion of land in Ameri
ca has been ‘run out’ by vepeated grain
crops, and bad husbandry, until a great
portion of this country- is in a fair way to
be ruined. The two Carolinas and Var
ginny, arc covered with places that are
1 runout,’ and are given up as ruined ; and
there are a plagey site too many such pla
ces all over New England, and a great ma
ny other States. We hav’nt the surplus
of wheat that we used to have in the United
States, and it’ll never be so plenty while ;
there are so many Nick Bradshaws in the j
country.
“ The fact is this, Squire, education is j
deucedly neglected. True, we have a 1
site of schools and colloges, but they arn’t;
the right kind. The same Nick Bradshaw J
has been through one on ’em, and twas ;
there that he larnt that infernal lazy habit
of drinking and smoking, that has been the
ruin of him ever since. I would'nt give an
old fashioned swing-tail clock, to have my
son go to college where he couldn’t work
enough to aim his own living, and lam how
to work it right too.
“ It aetilly frightens me, when I think
iiow the land is worked and skinned, until
they take the very gizzard out on’t, when
it might be growing better every day.—
Thousands of acres every year are turned
into barrens, while an everlasting stream of
our folks are streaking it off ‘to the new
country,* wtu-re abuut naif on ’m, after
wading about among tadpoles to catch cat
fish enough to live on a year or two, aetilly
shake themselves to death with that ever
lasting cuss of all new countries, the fever
and agur. It’s a melancholy fact, Squire.
It’s a melancholy fact, Squire, though our
people don’t seem to be sensible of it, and
you nor I may not live to see it, but if this
awful robbin’ of posterity goes on for anoth
er hundred years, as it has for the last,
among the fanners, we’ll be a nation of j
paupers. Talk about the legislature do
ing something, I’ll tell you what I’d have
cm do: Paint a great parcel of guide
hoards, and nail ’em up over every legis
lature, church and school house door in
America, with these words on ’em, in great
letters, ‘ The best Land in America, by
CONSTANT CROPPING, WITHOUT MANURE, WILL
hun out. And I’d also have ’em provide
means to lam every child how to read it, •
*‘c usc it’s no use to lam the old ones,
they're so sot in their ways. They are on
the constant stretch with the land they have,
and all the time trying to get more, without
improving anyori’t. Yes, yes— loo much ‘
land is the ruia of ns aU ”

PROPOSALS
for publishing by subscription
A FULL REPORT OF THE
GEOLOGICAL & AGRICULTURAL
SURVEY OF THF
STTAVIE ©IF ©!E©^©fl^\ 3
THE legislature, at their last session, deem
ed it expedient to discontinue the salary of
the State Geologist, in consequence ot the em
barrassed finances of the State. By this unex
pected movement, the subscriber is deprived of
the means of completing the survey of the State,
on the original .'an: if done at all, it must be
at individual risk and expense.
It is needless, perhaps, to represent to the en
lightened citizens of Georgia, that by following
out the plan so happily commenced in 1837, and
pursued with unremitting energy to the present,
the State lias been contributing her mite, hum
ble as it may be on the part of her agent, to the
Cause of general science in our country, and the
advancement of intellectual improvement among
her citizens, in accordance with other States of
the Union. There is but one alternative. In the
present situation oi the survey, the work must
either be abandoned and the important informa
tion obtained by tour years investigation of the
Geology of the State, lost to her citizens, or the
subscriber must depend for support, on individ
ual patronage. He is determined to make an ef
fort tor the benefit and honor of bis adopted State,
to proceed with the survey. From former ex
perience of the unbounded liberality and gene
rous hospitality of his fellow citizens’, in difter
ent parts of the State, he is confident that, in
making an appeal to their sympathy and patron
; age, it will not be made in vain.
That a complete survey may be made of the re
maining counties of the State, and the whole
consolidated and published for the information
and benefit ot the citizens, public patronage is
most respectfully solicited. A work ol this kind,
is much needed in Georgia, a State comprising
an area of sixty thousand square miles, being
destitute of a single correct Map, Geography, or
history of the same. A majority of the citizens
must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the
rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci

THE NEW WOKLD,
THE LARGEST, CHEAPEST, HANDSOMEST, AND
MOST COMPREHENSIVE NEWSPAPER IN THE
UNITED STATES.
ON Saturday, the second day of January, will
be issued the first number of the Second
Volume ot the Quarto New World. This
form, being convenient for binding and preser
vation, has been and is much preferred by great
numbers of our readers in city and coi^ttry. —
Each number of the Quarto Edition contains the
same articles as the Folio, with the exceptions
only of lhe advertisements and a few unimport
ant news-items of no permanent interest. The
second Volume of the Quarto is commenced
with the new year for the accommodation and
convenience of new subscribers, wlio, at that
period, generally determine on the character
and kind of periodicals best recommend *j
their attention and best worthy of their patron
age.
The New World was begun, in the large,
or folio size, in October, 1839. It immediately
acquired a circulation unprecedentedly great.—
It was ordered to be sent to all parts of the
country; it was sold in great numbers in the
principal cities of the Union. The plan upon
which it was conducted, was novel and striking.
Its distinguishing feature was, that it republish
ed, with unparalleled despatch, the most attract-
ive portions of new English literature. On its
broad and ample pages were displayed, in rapid
and brilliant succession, the latest productions
of the most popular authors of the day. Their
names formed a galaxy, which shed a fascina
ting lustre around the new and copious journal,
1 One star differed from another star in glory, but
they were all stars. Not many or the minor
lights were admitted into their splendid company.
Dickens, Bulwer, Talfocep, Mitfokd, Ains
worth, Dewey, Sedgwick, Lonfellow, havtf
few compeers in their time and few are worthy
of being ranked with them.
It was not to be wondered at that the New
Wokld became a great favorite with the intel
ligent and reading public. There was only one
objection made to it—and that was to its size.—
The Folio form was the most popular but not
most convenient for those, who considered the
works which it contained too valuable to be
thrown aside. For such readers, the Quarto
was commenced in June last, and for such it will
be continued.
Forthe new volume, commencing in January,
we ask the subscriptions of all lovers of pure
and elegant literature throughout the country'.
We ask them too to favor vs with their names im
mediately, that u-e may not fall short of the num
ber that will be required in this form. The rea
sonableness of this request will be understood
when we state that orders are every’ day receiv
ed for back numbers which cannot be supplied.
Ten times the subscription price would now be
cheerfully paid by those, who delayed to send
early orders. The scarcity of old numbers is an
admirable proof of their value ; in them are con
tained works sold for sixpence and one shilling,
which cost in the original editions one dollar/Kijd
sometimes live dollars. “ f
The New World will be conducted as it has
been, with those improvements and additions,
which time and experience have not failed to
suggest. It will be complete in all the depart
ments of a lirst rate literary journal. From the
extensive acquaintance enjoyed by the Editors
with ail the best writers and critics of the coun
try, this will be no very difficult task. It will
continue to be edited by l’ark Benjamin and
Epes Sargent.
This form of the New Wof.ld will be render
ed more elegant in its external appearance. It
will be embellished with engravings and music,
chosen by a distinguished professor.
TERMS.—Three Dollars a year, (same as
me Folio) or Five Dollars for two copies, pay
able in advance, postage free. Where postage
is not paid, it will be deducted from the remit
tance.
