DAVID DICKSON’S SYSTEM OF PLANTING.

gives a thousand bales
of cotton from thaniumber of acres, which
will probably sell for over fifty thousand
dollars. Mr. D. has applied eight dollars’
worth of commercial fertilizers to each acre
planted in cotton, making eight thousand
dollars investment for this crop alone.
Like all other planfeis and farmers, Mr.
Dickson is wholly indebted to science for

TI1E FIELD PEA.
Mr. Editor:—I have chosen to write a
short chapter on the field-pea this morn
ing, from tho fact that its value is much
underrated generally. There are about
five kinds cultivated in this part of the
State, known as the stock peas, and known
by the following names : The Black Pea,
the Cow Pea, the Tory, the Georgia or
White Pea, and the Poor Man’s Relief
Pea.
A good method for planting the pea is
to open a furrow with a boll-tongue plow
in the centre between corn rows; drop
the peas in, fifteen in a place, thirty inch
es apart, and cover them with a wooden
harrow. The corn rows should be plowed
out immediately before planting the peas,
and they should then be planted between
the first and fifteenth of June, in the lati
tude of Do Soto county.
In order to get a good yield of corn and
highly concentrated manure, applied to an , _ ,, ,
acre planted in cotton, aud followed as a j peas on the same land, the corn should be

duct of nature, and
>of it as is Pe
ruvian guauo, wn^pr^alue science first
pointed out to jjjmopean and American
cultivators of tJmsol. Science also taught
them that Urfuviaiiguano aloue will not
meet all t^e requirements of crops growing
on poor^fand for a succession of years—an
important fact, the if eaning of which Mr.
Dickson fully comprehends. He combin
ed with one hundred mounds of Peruvian
guano soluble phosphate of lime, called su
perphosphate, soluble carbonate of potash,
oluble common salt, and soluble gypsum.—
The uric acid and ammonia in Peruvian
guano yield assimilable nitrogen to young
and growing cotton plants, and to their
seed. Wo italicise and repeat the word
soluble to impress on the reader’s mind
the fact that this very successful planter
supplies to his crop in an available condi
tion. the precise things which it
needs, and which all rich soils pos
sess, and all poor soils lack, in a
greater or less degree. Truthful science
told Mr. Dickson that the laws that
govern the organization of plauts are
as perfect and as unchangeable as the
God who made them ; that no matter how
small the quantity of nitrogen, lime, pot
ash, sulphuric and phosphoric acids, and
common* salt Nature demands in forming a
fruitful cotton plant, it must be supplied
by the unaided ground, or by the hand of
man, before such a plant will grow. In
studyiug the substances that make a crop
of cotton, and the conditions of those sub
stances, Mr. D. learned the pregnant fact
that more than ninety-eight pounds in one
hundred of every bale he produces are
nothing but carbon and the elements of
water. Now, carbon is that black sub
stance seen alike in wood, corn and cotton
seed when burnt to a coal; and water is
seeu in its agricultural relations in every
shower and in every dew. When science,
fourteen years ago, told Mr. Dickson {who
was then not a distinguished planter,) that
ninety-five per cent, of common yard and
stable manure might be dispensed with in
fertilizing the soil because rain-water and
atmospheric air supply carbon, oxygen
and hydrogen much cheaper than they
can be furnished in the dung of animals,
he was wise enough to test this new prin
ciple in agriculture by careful and repeat
ed experiments on very thin, piney woods
land, worth only a few dimes per acre.—
Instead of putting twenty big loads of old-
time farm manure on an acre of poor land
to make a crop, he has years relied on the
virtues of two hundred pounds of those
constituents of agricultural plants which
water and air cannot supply, and which
are deficient in the earth where his cotton
grows. In this way he faithfully complies
with all the conditions of fruitfulness, as
experience proves, and science had dem
onstrated in advance of practice. Science'
had analysed cotton lint, and shown that !
should a thousand pounds of it be grown
on an acre, as is practicable, and sent to
Where the object is to plant for fatten
ing stock, the Cow Pea is, perhaps, as good
a kind as any ; but when the object is to
keep stock during the winter, the Tory
and Black Peas are preferable. On rich
and lively lands the Pea succeeds well
sown broad cast at the rates of a half bush
el per acre, and plowed in the last time
the corn is plowed. But on heavy soil,
which runs together close, after rain this
plan often fails. In rich land, the corn
rows should be about four feet apart, to
make a good yield of corn and peas ; in
poor land the rows should bo about five
and a half feet. The corn in the wide
rows will need one plowing after planting
the peas; the narrow rows will not need it
if cultivated well early in the season.
Three hands can plant ten acres per day
as first directed, at an aggregate cost of
eight dollars, seed and labour. The ten
acres will make an average yield of sev
enty bushels, leaving sixty-two bushels of
peas as a nett profit for three days work.
From many years experience in the use of
the pea to fatten pork and beef, I think lean
safely state that a bushel of peas is worth
as much as a bushel of clrn for these pur
poses, and, if so, a daws labor at making
peas may commonly belstimated at about
twenty dollars profit. Ritimate a day’s la

ed at home, aud yields a vast amount of
rich manure, of fat auiinal aud fat vegeta
ble mould. Other small grains and peas
are extensively cultivated, which, with the
rest allowed to every field for the natural
growth of weeds, grass, and other recuper
ating plants keep up the organic part of
the soil to common level with the eight or
ten thousand dollars’ worth of mineial
manures purchased and applied every
year.
Such is the Hancock system of plant-
ing. _ It has great merit, with some defects
in rejecting all aid from perennial legumes
and perennial grasses. Mr. Dickson has
nine thousand acres of Georgia soil, more
than half of which will produce very little
grain, meat, wool, cotton or cash, either for
Lis benefit or the support of the armies
now so bravely defending his right and his
property. We venture to tell him, for the
sake of telling every Georgian, that that
system of agriculture is not the best which
keeps five acres in every six in the State
in a non-producting condition. Let us
have more acres producing money with
which to pay taxes, and patriotic men for
defending our [fields and our firesides.—
Let as cultivate the science of agriculture.

“It will! It looks incredible,” I replied

“Very well,” said he. And taking the
tea-kettle boiling from the stove, he poured
the water thus boiling on the seed which
he had in a saucer. Looking at it for a
moment, he exclaimed’ “My conscience !
you have been told rightly—only look

I looked, and behold the little sprouts
were shooting out of the open ends of the
