Remarks of Mr. J. S. Newman, of
Hancock, on Home Fertilizers before
the Rome Convention. Written out
for the “Plantation” in response to
a resolution of the Convention asking
its publication.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the
Convention.”
In response to the invitation of
your committee to introduce the dis
cussion ol Home Fertilizers,” I pro
pose, without attempting a speech,
to introduce the subject with a few
plain, practical remarks.
With the exception, perhaps, of
the Labor question ; there is none
of such vital importance to the Ag
riculturists of Georgia as that of
cheap Home Fertilizers. I do not
propose to limit the subject to mere
manures saved or prepared on the
farm, but will treat of it in its w id-
est scope, embracing all of the econ
omic means, at the command of die
landlord, of permanently improving
his soil and increasing his annual
income. This involves a judicious
rotation of crops to secure and pre
serve an abundant supply of humus
in the soil—deep and thorough prep
aration—careful husbanding and
manipmalion of all animal excre
ments and a judicious concentration
of the latter. But, Sir, 1 am met on
the very threshhold with a serious,
though I hope not an insuperable
difficulty. We must combat, not
only prejudice, but habit and prac
tice.
Our people are not sufficiently
self-reliant or sell sustaining. We
have too long depended upon for
eign skill and industry lor com
modities, the material of which lie
in waste at our very doors.
With our mountains teeming with
the richest iron ore; vve import the
plows with which we till our lands
—the hoes with which we cultivate
our crops—the axes with which we
fell our forests—in a word, every
tool and implement used on our
farms.
With the toughest oak and hicko
ry growing in our forests, we even
imDort hames and axe-helves.
I might extend the enumeration
until it enbraced every article of
prime consumption ; for we even
import our own cotton, in fabric, al
ter the price has been quadrupled
by shipment, manufacturing and re-
shipment.
Indeed, Sirs, the habit of import
ing is so fixed, that vve are prone to
regard as imferior, that which is of
home manufacture.
This militates against the devel
opment of our resources ; and while
I would not counsel the extreme of
rejecting all importations, let us
first husband and utilize our home
resources and supplement these by
importations from abroad. Under
the influence of this habit to which
] have alluded, our planters have
neglected the means, which nature
affords them, of fertilizing their
lands, and relied loo exclusively up
on commercial manures; many of
which are excellent, but too costly
for profitable use upon lands so de
nuded of vegetable matter as those
in the cotton region generally are.
Let us examine for a moment
these natural means of fertilization
as adapted to our old and worn
lands.
Our lands have been cultivated so
constantly in humus—destroying
crops, that the first step to be taken
is the turning under of
Green Crops.
as a means not only of supplying
humus to the soil, but of ameliora
ting its physical condition to prevent
baking, and admit a free circulation
of atmospheric air with its fertiliz
ing properties.
Nature points to peas and clover,
ki-arfred plants, which send their
lap roots deep into the subsoil and
drying up the mineral saits from be
yond the reach of the plow, which
absorb ammonia from the atmos
phere in an eminent degree, as pe
culiarly suited for the purpose of
green manure. By returning these
to the soil while green, we return
not only all that was extracted from
the soil, but an important element of
fertility from the atmosphere.
There is no soil which is not adap
ted to one or the other of tfiese
plants.
Mr. Edmond Ruffin, the great ag
riculturist of Virginia, quadrupled
the product of his lands by the use
of marl and clover as fertilizers.—
Lands in Virginia which twenty
years ago were worn and gullied,
and turned out as exhausted, are
now producing forty bushels ol corn
per acre.
What has been done in Virginia
may be done here. We have fol
lowed their excmple in one respect.

tinued cultivation in tobacco; we

hills ol Georgia” may be made to
“bloom as the rose” and rejoice the
hearts of the husbandmen with
abundant harvests. But here we
are met by another difficulty. You
say we have not time for all of this.
Cotton demands all of our lime.—
This brings us to another important
point upon which we have had “line
upon line,” and precept upon pre
cept,” to no purpose. We plant too
much cotton on too much land poor
ly prepared and poorly manured.
If we will concentrate our efforts
upon a smaller area thoroughly pre
pared, well manured and thorough
ly cultivated wc will have lime to
improve our landed capital, and yet
realize a better per cent on the in
vestment than by scratching over
the whole surface.
I have been surprised to see over
I the signature of an eminent agricul
tural writer, the deterioration of the
land charged in the cost of produc
ing cotton, can we boast of progress
when a portion of our profits must
come out ol our capital;
The same writer advocates the
old practice of surface scratching
with turning shovels and scooters
against deep and thorough prepara
tion. Hall preparation and half cul
tivation, of the largest possible area,
has been the bane of the South,
Times have changed and we must
change with them.
The time for wearing out land and
moving West is past. As our Pres
ident has remarked, we must first
feel that wp are permanently settled,
and then determine to succeed, to
progress, to improve and beautily,
instead of desolating the land in
which we live. Where clay is in
reach of the plow, restoration is ea
sy. Bring to the surface, each year,
an inch of new clay early enough
for the fro3ls of Winter to pulverize
and incorporate it with the surface
soil. You will thus improve both
the chemical and mechanical condi
tion of the soil. This is especially
the case where the surface is sandy.
Besides the increased capacity lor
absorbing ammonia from the atmos
phere, the dark color imparted by
the clay causes a greater absorption
of heat which is of great service in
“starting off” vegetation in spring.
Stock occupy a conspicuous place
among the agencies of Home Fertil
ization. The determination ol the
best mods of utilizing their excre
ments, solid and iiquid, is a matter
of very great importance, and one
which has received too little atten
tion at the hands of ihe Southern
Agriculturist. As usually saved on
Georgia farms, the best parts are
lost. The common practice is, to
collect in an open lot the year’s sup
ply, exposed to the injurious effects
of both rain and sun. Thus expos
ed, the soluble parts are leached
through into the soil below, or car
ried off into gullies or creeks : while
the ammonia, which is always in
the form of a carbonate is volatilized
and lost. Unless stock can be kept
in sheltered stalls, they should be
penned at night on cultivable land
where '<he liquid parts can be imme
diately absorbed by the soil, and the
solid part preserved by plowing
them in as they collect in sufficient
Then, using well preserved sta
ble manure as our base, we will add
to it ammonia, phosphates, alkalies
and sulphates in the proportions
which nature indicates until the
compound is rendered sufficiently
concentrated to be economically ap
plied, and we have the great desid
eratum of agiicultuie—a good and
cheap manure.
I have this compound applied to
cotton in equal weights per acre with
two standard commercial manures.
The former cost one cent per pound,
the latter three and four respectively.
Up to dale, the most experienced
eye can detect no difference in ei
ther the growth of weed or the quan
tity of fiuit. This is what we call

RAISIIVU run M' TREES FROM
SEED.
Mr. A. Czerny, of Austria, states
that as the result of long continued
observations and experiments, that
the strongest and best iruil trees can
be raised from seed, thus obviating
a great deal of expense and disap
pointment to the pomologist. Ac
cording to his observations, the ex
tent and ramification of the roots ol
a healthy tree is to that of its crown
in the ratio of three to two, so that
the action ot the roots is always pre-
pondertaing. In this relation he finds
the reason why fruit seeds from
trees, budded or grafted upon indif
ferent stocks, have always been
found unreliable, and he endeavors,
as the first step, to obtain good trees
grown upon their own slock, the
seeds of which, he says, will repro
duce their parents with cerlaintv.
To this end he lays a branch of a
good tree, which, when well rooted,
serves him as stock; into which he
introduces buds or scions of such
varieties as promise to improve the
original fruit. By judicious cross
fertilization he obtains fruit, the seed
of which will propagate, to a greater
or less extent, the good qualities of
the varieties ss used in hybridizing,
and thus a new fruit is originated,
which, when suitable, can always
be reproduced from its seed. Such

The excrements, solid and liquid,

which converts the carbonate into

form it will remain without loss un
til used for plant food, dries off’the
surface of the manure, prevents in

imals, and entirely deodorizes the
manure.
The loss in the manure thus pre
served is insignificant. The air be
ing excluded by its compactness, no
fermentation takes place—no heal is
generated until the bulk is broken
and exposed for a time to the air.
This should not be done until its final
manipulation preparatory to its ap
plication to the soil. We are all fa

seed are heated in bulk without plas

think of exposing commercial ma
nure without shelter during a win

thus!
Stable manure is adapted to all
crops and all soils. Is it strange
that it should be, when we remem
ber that it is derived from the very
soil to which we apply it, and thro’
the medium of the very plants to
which we return it as food ? The
excrement, solid and liquid, of fully
grown animals kept in uniform con
dition, contain all the elements of
the plants from which they derive
their food. Liebey, after speaking
