OBSERVATIONS
0;j <Af -4c//o it of Calcareous Manures, and
their Practical Application and Effects.
Previous to the commencement of my
examination of thr marls of South Carolina,
there hat) b-cn but very ft.tv attempts to pro
fit by their applieation as a manure. It
would be both a needless and ungrateful
task to inquire into the causes of this
strange ami general neglect of such wide
spread and easily available resources for
fertility and rich ;s—and of disregard and
ignorance of truths generally known and
actttJ upon in other regions far less blessed
in these resources, and in the capability of
profiting by their use, than lower South
Carolina. It is enough here to state, that
such was the general neglect of calcareous
manures, and general want of efficient in
formation as to their value. Many indi
viduals, indeed, had made very small and
mostly improper applications of mail, and
a few of lime, and which were as loose and
inaccurate as experiments, as they were
ill-directed to obtain the best results as ma
nure. And a few individuals presented
more marked and meritorious exceptions,
in having within the last few years made
much larger applications, and having reap
ed more or less appreciable and admit
ted profits therefrom. Among these,
the oldest or the largest operators, and,
as they deemed themselves, also suc
cessful nurlers, beside those already
mentioned, were Mr. Darby, of Orange
burgh, Dr. J. S. Palmer, and Col. S. J.
Palmer, of Charleston district, Dr. Robert
Gourdin, of Georgetown district, and Gen.
Jas. H. Hammond, of Silver Bluff, Barn
well. Reports of the applications of the
four last named gentlemen have been re
cently published, and their favorable re
sults stated. But the total amount of these,
added to all other applications of marl and
lime made in South Carolina previously to
1843, it is believed, fell short of 500 acres.
It vvould furnish an interesting and most
useful statistical document, if the Legis
lature would hereafter require the extent
of each planter's applications of marl and
lime, for every successive year, to be as
certained and recorded by the tax collec
tors ; and, a few years hence, also the then
and thereafter estimated increased product
of tiie improvements thereby made. Such
statements, continued and published regu
larly year afior year, would exhibit an
amount of newly directed labor, and of
newly created agricultural wealth, beyond
any present conception of the effects; and
the exhibition would stimulate the further
exertion and increase more than any other
possible mode of conveying instruction, or
of urging the propriety and profit of using
calcareous manures. Nearly all of the
few applications of marl, or of lime, which
have heretofore been made, have failed of
early or satisfactory effect, or for so long
as observed for effects, because of the im
proper mode of application; which was,
as usual with putrescent manures, by bu
rying the marl under the “list,” and there
by avoiding, and indued preventing all inter
mixture of the manure with the soil which
is essential to its operation.
Considering the great variations and de
grees of fertility of cultivated soils, and
the important bearing of such differences
on the profits of the cultivators, it is strange
that so little attention has been given to the
causes, or of care to avoid the worst and
obtain the best effects. Every proprietor
knows that the profit of cultivation is much
greater on rich than on poor ground. But
very few have estimated how muck greater
is the profit; and nowhere, within the
sphere of my observation, are the prices of
lands properly graduated, in proportion to
their fertility and true productive value.
If properly estimated, it would he manifest
that poor land, for cultivation, if to remain
poor, would be dear as a gift, and its culti
vation the most costly of all. Yet, the
greater number of cultivators of such soils,
are content to remain in that condition,
without making an effort, and scarcely in
dulging a hope of improving their fields
and their profits.
It is not the less remarkable, that the
more sanguine and enterprising cultiva
tors, who aim and hope to improve, seldom
inquire into the causes and manner of the
operation designed, and therefore, most na
turally, seldom sncceed in their design.—
To apply the ordinary putrescent manure,
is generally the sole means attempted or
thought of; and if on poor and bad soils,
in the race between exhaustion and new
fertilization, the latter is invariably left far
behind.
It is a universally acknowledged truth,
that what is needed to make soil most pro
ductive, are such ingredients us will sup
ply, in sufficient abundance, the food of
plants. Growing plants draw from the
soil by their roots, and are nourished by the
dissolved parts of nearly all putrescent
matters, either vegetable or animal, or
mixtures of both. The ordinary manures
are precisely such substances; and sooner
or later, by their gradual decomposition,
are converted almost entirely to the food
for plants, and if judiciously applied, are
consumed by, and help to sustain the grow
ing crops.
But it is not enough, by a great deal,
that manures serving to form food for plants,
shall he.given to the soil. There are oth
er conditions necessary for their profitable
and best effects ; and the most important of
these conditions is, that the soil shall be so
constituted as to preserve the putrescent
matters from waste and profitless dissipa
tion, and to give- them wholly for the sup
port and growth of plants. This condition
is furnished by nature, in well-constituted
soils only, which present the most produc
tive and durable lands under tillage.—
Without this constitution, all the supplies
of putrescent manures which can be given
to a farm, will be of little profit; and if de
rived from its own resources only, will be
utterly insufficient to preserve, and still
less to increase, the yearly measure of pro
ductiveness of the land.— Ruffin’s Agricul
tural Survey of South Carolina.
