“Laurens County Agricultural
Club”
Dublin, Ga., October. 1S70.
Mr. President, and
Gentlemen, of the “ Club."
Tour Co nmitiee fed the ernbar"
rassmenls of the duty imposed on
lliem on account of the groat diver"
siiy of opinions, the great variety of
Fertilizers and the different soils to
which they are applied as well as
a want of a sufficient knowledge o|
Agricultural Chemistry to deal
scientifically, and with justice to the
different brands of Fertilizers used
among us, and shall therefore re"
train from bringing any particular
Guano into judgment on this oeca"
sion, except perhaps in a compara
tive light.
We heartily recommend the ex
tensive use of all good manures to
our people, both foreign and domes"
tic, arlificid and that which is nat
urally deposited and accumulates
spontaneously around us, and which
only needs the hand of industry to
reach forth and appropriate to wise
and economic purposes. We would
more particularly advise the home
made manures on account of its
cheapness and permanaucy, a 3
well as uniform strength, for we all
know exactly what we are dealing
with, when we are putting on our
land a good article of stable manure,
and we are sure to look for its bene*)
fits more than one yeur. In the
first place its cheapness as compar
ed with No. 1 Peruvian Guano is as
about 4 to I. Your Committee takes
the Peruvian Guano, because it is
the best of all the artificial manures
and commands the highest price.
The showing therefore, can he made
without prejudice to any other ar
tificial''manure, for if the Peruvian
can’t stand the test none other
can.
The actual cost then to prepare,
haul and put out stable or co.ripost
ed manure for 10 acres of cotton, is
as follows in our judgment, assum"
ing 4 ox loads per acre.
Forty loads of muck from swamp
at 4 loads per day would be in 10
day9 at $1.75 per day $17.50
10 loads straw, 5 loads a day. 3.50
One hand to rake up 1 day... 75
Same No. of days to haul out. . 17.50
PutiiRg out 11.00
Total 50.00
winch is a liberal expense for your
home made manure, which you
know will pay it you make it right,
and you ran make it right. You
can cheapen this process however
and your Committee earnestly re
commends the adoption of the fol
lowing process to do it. Build 10
feet square rail pens in your fields,
most contiguous lo the swamp or
ponds or alluvian from any source,
and put in one inch of cotton seed
and 0 inches of muck evenly all over,
until 5 feet high, and shelter until
planting time. Or if you have not
cotton seed, use Lime and pure Pe"
ruvian guano or some of the crude
chemicals as Ammonia, Potash, So
da and acids of Phosphorus and
Sulphur. Such manures in our
udgement can be made at a cost of
$5.00 a ton, and really can be made
cheaper by those of us who have
bands hired tor wages and teams
and forage of our own. On every
plantation in the Stale, the leaves
of forest trees growing in low
grounds will supply salts of Lime
Potash and Magnesia cheaper than
can be bought in any market, and
nothing but a lack of enterprise or
want of knowledge on the subject,
prevents, our rivers and branches,
and ponds, from giving back to our
washed and impoverished fields
even more fertilizing salts, because
more concentrated, than heavy rains,
plowing up and down hills, and
other follies ever washed into them.
With a liberal application of such
mannures we will have green cotton
in August (which in these days is
like an oasis in a desert waste) and
it will continue to grow and contin
ue to imbibe the precious elements
front the atmosphere and sun and
dews so conducive lo cotton growing
in that month, and will make us a
bottom, middle and lop crop as it is
the care of the cotton plant to do,
and large, fully developed bowls.
A large per cent, of the guanos
used among us now pushes the crop
to maturity before the let of August,
contending aguiust prem iture sea
sons, inviting ru.-l, falling an easy
prey to draugth and by far the most
liable to shed. Objections are made
that we haven’t the time to make
these manures for the labor. In our
Southern country, this is too true to
great extent, but if we will hire
cotton pickers extra, ami take our
farm hands, we can accomplish a
great deal. And just h*-re allow us
to remark upon ihe uncertainly of
buying a good or genuine a11i< le of
commercial manures. It is the
most unsatisfactory and dubious
operation a close calculating and
business man ever engaged in. The
country is flooded with so many
brands of Fertibz T-, all purporting
lo be good and hacked up by tes
timonial of the “best men in the
country” (it the sane time
fully one half ate worthless) until
the farmer is peifeclly at a loss
what to buy; and let us beg the
members of this club and all our
citizens to withhold their testimoni
als not only from Fertdizeis,
but from everything promolive of
the interest of' agriculture, unless
it will surely bear the test.
On account of our present igno
rance of Agricultural Chemistry,
some of us h ive spent hundreds and
thousands of dollais seeking lo find
out what our varied crops require
to feed upon in the way of artificial
manures. We know that like be
gets like and it is necessary to know
the component parts of all vegeta
tion in order to feed them with what
nature designed for their support.
What will emich one plant will im
poverish another, but we hope the
day is n>>t lor distant when every
intelligent farmer will know as well
what to give his cotton to make it
grow as to give Ids horse to make
him fatten. Numbers of experi
ments have been made with artifi
cial and composted manures and in
refer you to the Cultivator and agri
cultural reports for them, and will
preseit you a few however for our
present purpose. One by Mr. James
Davison of Green county, who com
pared Peruvian guano with wood
ashes and salt the per cent with
Peruvian was 149, over the natural
laud and with wood ashes and salt
200 percent. A planter of John
son county cultivates 1500 acres
with Fertilizers made by supplying
his own stables with pine straw.
His cotton c'>sis him but six cents
a pound. Dr. Burnett of Fort
Gaines, manured 25 acres of poor
pine land with lot and compost man
ure and obtained 18 bales of cotton,
costing but six cents a pound.
Ten acres ol cut ton manured with
200 lbs. per acre of Peruvian guano
would cost about 110 dollars, more
than twice as much as the 10 acres
manured with stable manure and our
.observation is that the yield would
not be so great nor the land so per
manently improved, One member
of your Committee has used eight
different kinds of Fertilizers in die
last four years, and is ready to make
affidavit that nnlyoifie kind of guano
increased lfie yield of his crop, and
1 hat increase was obtained at an ex
pense of about 17* dollars per acre
in the year 1S6S, the other three
years, including the present was a
total failure with fertilizers, and the
losses sustained were not compel)sa
ted for'in the increased crop of
1SGS.
As to its permanency wc are de
cidedly iti favor of home'tnade man
ures and in giving you an opinion on
this subject we will have to do it
a’one from our own observation and
experience.
On land that has been manured
with guano most, we find on several
farms in this vicinity the cotton rust
ed soonest and doing the worst. It
was not for want of rotation or rest,
1st year in cotton manured with
Coe’s Phosphate, 2nd year in corn
and peas manured with cotton seed
and this year in cotum manured Ku
reka heavily, and will not yield more
than one third the the crop of 1S6S
or 1st year. The wants of the soi
in our opinion, over and above the
active stimulation of our commercial
manures is humus or carbonaceous
matter to absorb and retain the dif
ferent chemical constituents of the
atmosphere anil rains, which coin
posted or stable mauures possess and
guano does not. It has come to the
observation ol us nil that black lands
are the richest, and while lands the
poorest, and guano is ro going to
blacken them. The kind of guano
mostly used here are Dickon’s com
pound, Coe’s Phosphate, Eureka,
Wando, Eli*an, Excelsior and
Ammoniaied Bone dust, and opin
ions concerning each, is more varied
than kinds.
In another view therefore, that of
seasons, it renders it very unsafe to
purchase aitificial manures. Some
\ears, as the present, rust will take
cotton, and all the guano in the
World could*ill stop it, and all the
cotton that is made won’t pay <or
the guano used on those rusted crops.
Perhaps the next year a severe
drought may prevent the absorption
and elimination of the guano in the
soil and we might go on and eiVu
me rate several disasters which are
very likely to befall cotton, and ren
der the use of guano a very mooted
question indeed. While we depre*
cate therefore the circumstances as
numerous ami varied as they are,
that go to make our artificial man
ures unsafe to deal with, we do not
desire to be understood as ignoring
a concentrated commercial Fertili*
zer of known and certain proper
ties.
A community of farmer's and
planters who cultivate Doer land
without manure must from the tie-
eessitiet-of-the case support half of
its population in |>overty, ignorance
and a low •tnuda'rd of material and
moral comfort. The productive la
bor enriches no one while it denies
that hojie of reward whieh is the
Id'e of happy industry. A nation
heavily in debt can ill afford to cul
tivate land too poor to return more
than a bare subsistence to the mil
lions that live upon it, and it is still
worse economy to impoverish from
the lack of manure the fruitful lands
that remain to us of our noble inher
itance.
We could suggest numerous plans
for making and saving manures, hut
a plan that would suit one farmer
could not be pursued by another and
must therefore leave that matter in
the sound judgment of you all and
close tliis hurried and disconnected
report with the hope that each
rftrinhei of this “club” together with
all our people will raise all the man
ure from evory source possible at
home before buying an artificial
manure from abroad for nine times
in ten they will loose in the opera
tion.
Our report then to be ui derstood
sums no adversely to the injudicious
and indiscriminate use of artificial
Fertilizers and to the total exdusion
of them when it is possible or prac-
ticable to raise our own Manure.

er’s time aud talents g.» for nought
in the miserable system of “croj
ing” now almost universally adop"
ted by cotton planters. The labor
er who claim* a part of the crop has
his lime, his labor, his rations, ids
all computed in the conttact. The
employer may reckon upon the rent,
and wear and tear of laud, and use
of mule, but never have I heard of|
one claiming a dime lor his time,
knowledge, risk, protection,or man
ifold assistance. Such a course
will impoverish any country. As
s<<on would I think the Lowell man
ufacturer should share his manufac
tured calicoes with his operatives, us
to approve giving my laborers part
of my crop. If hands cannot be had
for wages, better, far belter would it
be to rent them land for a stipulated
product, say fifty, seventy-five, or
one hundred pounds of lint cotton
per acre for every acre cultivated,
and allowed the laborer to “pitch”
and cultivate his own crop. This
year 1 furnish a field of iwenty-tive
acres aud a ted mule to one family
for 1,S00 lb*, of lint cotton, the fitst
ginned. To another, thirty acres
for 2,000 lbs. The rest are hired

crop, these last will in one way or
another add to the permanent im
provements of my plantation enough
to compensate me for their wages.

* 11 my opinion is that they are better

not appear on the table oftener than
once a week. Potatoes seem an
essential part ol every dinner, and
one can make such a rotation of tur

to the nature of ttie dinner, as never

Dots Fannins Pay in Ihe Sooth?
“Have you made money by farm
ing since the wai?” This is a per
tinent question, that is best answer
ed by narrating experience.
If by “making money” is meant
hoarding greenbacks or coin, 1 un
hesitatingly answer, no. 1 feel that
my income from my agricultural la
bors since I8G5 have exceeded my
necessary expenditures, but I have
“laid up” nothing, and for this sim
ple reason: 1 union the other sideof
half the age allotted to man here
below, and, while I do not advocate
fully the Latin maxim dum ricimus
vivamus, I hold to the opinion the
laborer should enjoy to his liking the
pro> eeds of his labors.
In the past, I inherited two for
tunes. One ended in smoko,
when- Sherman’s army passed
through South Carolina. The other
feathered its wings with the Eman
cipation Act, and flew away. In
the future, if “hard like*” secure me
another, it wi;l be enjoyed in the
making. Now tor the experience:
In 1866, I planted with hands con
tracted wiih for monied wages, and
although I made just about cotton
enough t» pay them ofT, and had corn
to buy for the following year, l do
not feel that 1 lost money. From
the first of June till the part ot Au
gust. 1 had not a shower of rain.
During this protracted drought, no
time was lost. With the plantation
hands, land was cleared, rails were
matoled fences renewed, old houses
torn down and rebuilt; thedilapida
tion cons* quenl upon the war was
wiped out, and by 1st January,
1SG7, the marketable value of my
plantation ! nd increased to an a-
ii ount equal to the value of a grxxl
crop, ami most of the labor had been
jteilortt,ed bv field hands.
In 1867, 1 again hired hands for
wage*, tr ade a splendid crop of
everything I planted except wheat,
(and enough of that to avoid buviug
flour,) and sold the cotton crop for
an average of eleven and a halfcents
per (toil nd. The desiitude condi
Don of my employees, all of whom
were strangers to me enabled be to
consume at home almost everything
made on the plantation, except rot-
ton. My wool clad thein, my hides
were exchanged for the leather that
shod them, and so on, leaving the
cotton crop to be disposed ot and

Editors Times fy Planter.
Dear Sirs:—Below I give you a
copy of my experiments with thirteen
different fertilizers, prepered for the
Southern Times fy Planter, as per
your request.
Re pect fully.
John L. Culver.
Believing you feel an interest in
the agriculture of our country, 1
send you an experiment made by
myself in 1870 with some different
fertilizers which if you think worthy
of a place in your paper you can
publish. It will be observer! that
the figures in column headed average
yield of adjacent unrrmnured acres,
are .formed by equalizing the un
manured acres on each side of the
manured. For example, the unma
nured acre, proceeding C. C. Coe’s
yielded 431 lbs., the untnanured acre
following C- C. Coe’s yielded 458
lbs making a total of S69 lbs, which
derived by two gins an avt rage
yield of 444£ lb»; which subtracted
from 1020 lbs. the yield produced
by C. C. Coe’s gins an excess yield
of 675$ lbs in favor of Coe’s.
In this experiment I applied 300
lbs of each fertilizer to the acre ex
cept the Bryani Compound which
was applied al the rate of 600 lbs. j
I per acre. This experiment »vag
made on the fractional part of an
acre and is calculated by the acre.
I have been experimenting with dif
ferent fertilizers before and since
the war, and have applied at the
rate of 150 lbs. to 700 lbs per acre
and I find that about 300 lbs. pe r
acre has paid me a greater profit
than any other amount used. In
experiment the manured and unma-
nured plats alternate through the
whole experiment, notwithstanding
I selected as uniform pieces of land
as 1 could. The unma nured plats
vary materially, anti to make an
experiment with 15 to 20 different
fertilizers with only one unmanured
plat is in my judgment very unsatis
factory.
We frequently hear the cries from
planters that “guanos ruined me
last year,” to all such I will make
this proposition. With an assurance
of 14 cents pet lb. for cotton, any
responsible parly can cultivate my
laud and I will give them all the
cotton the natural sod will produce
and take as rent all cotton pro
duced by the use of guano, and I
will furnish the guano at my own
expense, the renter preparing the
cotton for market*
