AGRICULT U 11A h .
GARNERED FOR THE GAZETTE.
By D. A. M.
How to Prosper.— Nothin" so rapid
ly pushes a fai ming community on into
prosperity as more light with refer
ence to agriculture. This light may be
communicated in various ways, but the
most successful way of communicating
it, perhaps, is through the medium of
the press. Get the farmers to taking
good agricultural papers and the work
of a general prospeiity is accomplished.
We now have before us a letter from a
gentleman in Texas stating that two
years ago he made up in his neighbor
hoc and a club for the Register, and that
since that time the people have changed
for the better more than they had chang
ed in the ten years preceding. The
Carolina Parmer adds similar testimony
t > the effect that a friend of the editor
had an old farm for sale and wanted to
sell it at high figures. It was located
in a non-progressive neighborhood,
where i o progressive person would like
to cast his lot. So the gentleman com
menced operations by subscribing for
20 copies of a good agiicultural paper
and having them mailed to as many
persons living around the farm that was
for sale. He wrote to each, telling what
he hid done, and saying he would re
ceivo nothing for the paper the first
year, at the end of which if they did not
consider it worth the club price they
could stop it Some of the farmers
were so prejudiced that they would not
read, but their children read and told
the parents what they had found, and
finally all became interested, and every
one subscribed for the next year.
From the time the journals began to be
read, improvement in the general farm
practice commenced. Improved im
plements were obtained, draining Efrid
turning in of green crops was introduc
ed—one bought a neyv breed of fowls
and another a fine ram, another a Berk
shire hog, and another a mowing ma
chine, and so on ; by decrees there was
a general improvement in the system
of farming, and a corresponding in
crease in the market value of the land
in the neighborhood, and this liberal
gentleman sold his farm ; and he told
the editor that ho was satisfied the
twenty papers, donated five years before
he sold lis farm, enabled him realize
fully $2,000 more for it than he would
have done had ho not given impetus to
farm improvement in the neighborhood
by inducing the farmers to read.
[Mobile Register.
Loose or solid land for Wheat
The following is worthy of attention
now, whilst wheat is being sown. Will
not our readers test, on a small scale,
the point of deep or shallow plowing for
wheat, and report results next summer:
Mr Mechi, writing at some length
on this subject, says: Whenever we
have rolled and solidified land, either be
fore or after drilling, the crop yielded
well, especially on the light land before
salting, at the rate of six to ten bushels
per acre Salt solidifies the laud. The
late Mr. Piper, of Colne, used to grow
bis thickest wheat year after year on the
same land top-dressed without plowing,
merely hoeing up the stubbles and
weeds. He grew great crops. It was
on good land adjoining the river. To
please myself and a friend he dug a
small portion to see the effects ; and
certainly that wheat and straw were
inferior to the unplowed. The late Mr.
Woodward used to tread his wheat, i
have seen gangs of people doing this.
When he converted some poor grass in
to arable land by draining and deep
digging he sowed three bushels of wheat
to the acre broadcast,and consolidated the
ground by treading it with twenty-four
farm horses. In 1873 we deeply horse
plowed and manured some land after
tares for wheat. We and our visitors
all admired the apparently heayy and
bulky crop, and rather despised its
neighbor, which was taken after cab
bage folded by sheep, and merely skirn
plowed ; but the result proved we were
all wrong in our estimate, for the des
pised cabbage land yielded best. We
,eau nver have our land too deeply
disturbed, for root and green crops, or
too highly manured. My finest crops
of wheat have been grown after red
clover once mowed then manured with
twelve loads per acre of best shed man
me, and when the clover again grew
high folded closely with sheep eating
cake and corn. Then lightly plowed
and drilled with one bushel of white
[wheat per acre; yield in 1868, sixty
.four bushels per acre; then drilled with
,one bushel of Rivetts, manured with
two hundred weight of Peruvian guano
mixed with one hundred weight of com
mon salt—this in 1869, produced sixty
bushels per acre Jt will be seen that
the ground had been consolidated by
sheep treading, and was but little dis
turbed. Stiff-stand corn crops, wheth
'ev of oats, barley, or wheat, are, so far
as my experience goes, best obtained
by shallow plowing, provided the land
has been very deeply cultivated a,nd
highly manured for the previous ropfc
crops.—Southern Cultivator.
