Agricultural Dcpartwcnt,
Hcmarks on the Mode of Planting
Culture Saving, dfcc«. of Pea Put*.
As to a suitable soil—select a
light, loamy soil, with an admixture
of sand—original growth, oak, hick'
orv, dog-wood, poplar, &c., and by
no means wet, low or too flat.—
Land, where the long leaf pine has
been the growth, is certainly objec
tionable, almost surely producing
whal is termed pops or hulls with
out the kernel. This can only be
partially cured by thorough liming;
short leaf or rosemary pine, grow
ing with ihe trees first mentioned, is
not objectionable.
Lands upon water courses are
generally found best adapted to the
pioduclion of this crop, being usual
ly of the character mentioned above,
particularly those upon the sea coast,
owing, I think, to the (act, that the
ground pea requires, to some extent,
both lime and salt. Lime I have
found one of the best applications,
as by the use of from 30 to GO bush
els to the acre of shell lime, sown
upon the land, followed by eighty to
one hundred loads rotted leaves or
wood mould, I have increased the
product one-third to one half and
that loo of improved quality, almost
entirely exempt from pops.
Ashes, leached or unleached, are,
in value, next to lime, having a sim
ilar effect and possessing more fer
tilizing properties than lime.
2nd. As to the preparation ol the
land, where there is trash, or coarse
vegetable matter, it should be thor-
oughly cleaned off, or burnt. Flush
up neatly if your lands are light,
with a small Tillman or other turn
plow, six to eight inches deep.—
Should lands be at all stiff, break
twice, the first time being as early
in winter as convenient, then again,
just before planting, in order to have
them dn>roughly broken and in good
order, with the surface as nearly
level as possible. Lay off the rows
twenty-seven to thirty-two inches,
according to quality of lands, with
a block plow similar to that used for
cotton, tapering down to one inch,
or one inch and a quarter at bottom,
with a strap of iron a half inch thick
on the bottom. Cross in the same
way, and drop in each check, two
peas that have been carefully shelled
bv hand without being split or bruis
ed. Cover with a hoe, (carefully
avoiding trash or sods) from two to
three inches deep.
Planting should commence about
the fbleerith of April, and should be
finished by Ihe 10th ol May, it pos
sible though I have known a tolera
bly fair crop made, planted the last
of May or the first of June. I would
recommend early planting, however,
giving lull time to mature before
frost. Light lands, stimulated by
manure, are more certain to mature
early.
3rd. Culture. They should be
cultivated with a sweep, having a
share on each side about three inch
es wide, attached to a coulter and
bar, sloping off at an angle of about
forty-five degrees, and cutting a fur
row from sixteen to nineteen inches
wide. The plowing should com
mence early in May, or soon as grass
begins to start, sweeping out each
row with one furrow—hoes follow
ing the plows immediate'y the first
time ; after which, plows should run
over the entire crop once in each
row, every eight or nine days—hoes
following and going over once in
sixteen or eighteen days. This
mode of plowing often, twice to each
hoeing, makes light and easy work,
and instead of wasting lime, it real
ly saves it—this being a crop that
will not admit of getting foul or
grassy, as it is then next to impossi
ble to get it clean. I generally
plow seven *r eight times with four
thorough hoeings, then go through
with the hoes and if any grass has
been allowed to grow in the hills,
pulling itout carefully with the hand.
This is the last work done before
harvesting.
4th. Harvesting. This should
commence in October. The exact
time cannot be fixed, but depends
somewhat upon the quality of lands
and seasons, not always upon the
time of planting, as they mature in
some seasons, and upon some lands,
earlier or later, than others, but
should never be delayed until frost,
as, in that event, the stem, to which
the pea if attached will, in a very
few days, commence to rot and de
cay, and, on plowing, most of the
peas are disengaged from the vine
and left in the ground.
Our new, fresh lands are suited
to the crGp, or, if stimulated by ma
nures, they will mature earlier than
without these advantages.
The first step in harvesting is ac»
complished with the plow, made
somewhat like the one used in cul
tivating, only larger and heavier,
with one share only. This share is
fixed m a bar and coulter—shire at
tached to the coulter, in front; the
back edge of which turns gently up
ward, so as to raise or loosen the
earth above and cot a furrow nine*
leen or twenty inches wide. This |
share is now deep enough to go he- '
low the pea on one side, then on the
other, cutting the lap root the last
lime ; about three hands follow the
plow, shaking the vines and peas
from the dirt, (which, being loosened
by the plow, is easily disengaged)
and setting the vines on the tip ends,
the peas hanging on the inside for
the purpose of drying or curing.—
The time required tor this can only
bejudged of by the general appear
ance. Upon the sea coast, and upon
light lands, with the advantages des
cribed above, they mature earlier
and cure in a much shorter lime than
in the interior and upon lands un-
suited to their production in other
respects. The time for curing will
be found to vary fiom ixvoto five, or
six days, according to the above cir
cumstances. When ready to put
up, they should be stacked in slacks
of about one and a half tiers, avoid
ing all dampness from e : ther dew or
rain. Let each hand take two rows,
catching the top of the bunch in the
fingers, folding it together, (with
peas inside), catching them either
on the knee or under the arm, press
ing them together, until from six to
ten bunches according to size, are
folded together; then lay them down
in the middle of the row, pressing
them together, so as to prevent their
getting tangled.
For moving them to stacks, 1 usu
ally make use of dumping carls,
one mule to each, two hands to throw
up the piles, and one to pack them
with care, so as not to tangle them.
The stacking is done by four of the
most careful hands, one upon the
?tack and the three others folding the
v nes together in hunches and throw
ing to the stacker, carefully, so as
to avoid tangling. Slacks should be
tapered from about two leet of the
lop and capped off with hay or straw.
I have for the last ten years, been
stowing them in houses, atier they
had remained in the stacks ten or
fifteen days in the open air, for the
purpose of seasoning, or drying, to
pieveut moulding or turning dark,
when paeked in the houses. This
method of pulling in houses, I have
found a great advantage, mote than
compensation for the expense of
buildings, packing them away, &c.,
as it not only prevents destruction
by birds, but renders the quality of
the pea very much belter, keeping
them from becoming black or
! speckled, which injures the sale ma
terially.
The houses used, are about thirty
by sixty to seventy-five feet long,
and sixteen to eighteen feet in height,
built by putting post oak, or light-
wood posts in the ground, covered
neatly with good shingles, and
weather boarded—with a ten foot
passage leading through from end to
end, allowing wagons to pass thro’
until both sides are filled up; then
filling the passage up to the top of
the house.
The picking and preparing for
market is a tedious and troublesome
process, as the best hands will not
clean more than two to fjur bushels
per day, and those who arc inexpe
rienced, not more than half of that.
1 I have, however, a machine or
thresher, (diiven by steaui) which
was invented, on my plantation,
about twelve years ago, by a young
man living in this place, (Poiter’s
Neck, near Wilmington, N. C.) who
patented the same, and has lately
Uuilt several to go by horse power.
My machine will thresh,in good dry
weather, two hundred bushels per
day, and has threshed as high as
three hundred, when in good order.
The vine or tops make excellent
forage for mules and cattle. Ordina
rily the sand in them makes them
rather objectionable as food for
horses; they are, however, used
(even foi that. Mules and cattle pre
fer them to arty other forage, and my
opinion is that they are quite asjgood
it not preferable to the best clover
hay.
We bale the vines from the ma
chine with a common hay press,
pack them away for use, and feed
abundantly with them through the
winter and plow seasons. What is
not eaten is trampled by the stock,
making a rich manure ior the corns
post heap. The gleaning of the
fields, alter harvesting, is valuable
for fattening bogs, sows and pigs.
1 have been thus particular in
enumerating all the little details of
soil and mode of planting, gathering,
&c., because I have received innu
merable letters of inquiry, from per
sons at a distance, and from all
points in the South, most of whom,
perhaps, have never seen a crop of
ground peas, and to whom an at
tempt to engage largely in this crop
without experience or directions in
regard to the points above named,
would, perhaps, prove hazardous, if
not ruinous. My opinion is, howev
er, that it can never be made a sta
ple crop foe the South, as it is not
an article of prime necessiiy and
the production of it could soon be
made to exceed any demand that
might ever arise.
The exports from Wilmington, N.
C., from the crop of the past season,
will probably range from eighly-fivc
to one hundred thousand bushels.—
Prior to the war, I think, the largest
crop reached between one hundred
and foity to one hundred and fifty
thousand bushels.
The yield of land suited to this
crop, varies from thirty to fifty bush
els to the acre, though there are ma
ny acre* planted, tfhich fall far be
low th«* first figures. Now, while
this may seem flattering to the pro
ducer, considering the price obtained
per bushel, yet there are other mai
lers which should be taken into the
account, and which may muddy the
many advantages of this crop, some
of which I should mention, or 1
would Ire recreant to my trust.
In addition to the preparation of
land, labor necessary for its culture,
and uncertain process of saving and
preparing for market, I know of no
crop which is more exhausting to
land than this, and, unless assisted
by ihe application of manures, a
crop, even one year in two, would
at last, if not very soon, exhaust
lands so they would not pay the ex
penses of cultivation.
The system which I have pursued
for the lust ten or fifteen years, has
been to gel but one crop of peanuts
in three years, following it with a
crop of rye—three-fourths of a bush
el sown to the acre and plowed in
during December or January, at far
thest. My the time March winds
commence, it is sufficiently set to
prevent, to a considerable* extent,
the blowing off of the soil, which
happens when lands are bare and
light, such as upou the coast, and is
almost ruinous. The next year af
ter the rye, being the third year, the
land remains fallow.
By pursuing this mode, and by
one good manuring the year prior to
the pea crop, lands may be kept up;
and although this may be consider
ed an expensive outlay, receiving
but one crop of pea nuts, and one
crop of rye, for three years and the
expense of one good manuring du
ring the time, yet I know of no other
method by which our lands can be
kept up to the standard of a fair and
remunerative crop. Should the a-
bove remarks, either in whole or in
part, be of service or benefit to any
one, into whose hands they may
chance to fall, I shall feel compen
sated for my trouble. My views
have been given honestly, and are
the result of an experience of more
than fifty years of toil and anxieiy.
N. N. NIXON.
Are Moles a Pest'—Theto is a
great difference of opintnion as to
this question. Our own is that the
mole is harmless as a tule—some
times it damages lawns and gardens
in pursuit of its food, which usually
is the earthworm. If it should go
through a hill of corn and injure
it by loosening the rootlets, it is still
in pursuit of the earthworm, w hich
is, in dry times, found about the
roots of corn and other vegetables,
grass, etc., more abundantly than
elsewhere. So far as oar observa
tions extend, we have never known
the mole to eat vegetable matter.—
It would seem to be, strictly, a car-
niverous aninal. And on this head
here is something to the point: Mr.
\V eber, one of ihe savtnis of Zurich,
Switzerland, recently examined the
stomachs of a number of moles
caught in different localities, but
(ailed to discover therein the slight
est vestige of plant or roots; where
as they were filled l y the temains
of earth worms. He shut up several
of these animals in a box containing
earth and sod with growing grass,
and a small case of grub or earth
worms. In nine days two moles de
voured 341 white worms, 193 earth
worms, 25 caterpillars, and a dead
mouse. Fed with a mixed diet oft aw
meat and vegitables, the moles ale
the meat and left the plants; and
when vegetables exclusively were
dealt out to them, in twenty-four
hours both died of starvation.—Ex-

The past season has been the most unfavorable one for Fertilizers since the general introduc
tion of them into Ihe States of Georgia and South Carolina. In the early Spring it was muen
too wet. the grass and weeds getting a powerful start, while later (IT, and »vhen the plant was
generally in a most promising condition, the ecame, at a most critical time, a tevere drought,
which cut down the y> d of the crop very materially. Yet with all these disadvantages, we
believe that there are very few instances, out of thr, thousands where Whann’s was used, wber«
t fail«d to pay the planter a profit on its cost, iu the extra yield o-> er and Above the natural pro
duction of the land. We trust it will be many years before we have such *n unfavorable sea
son again. We have arranged to sell Whann’s at same prices and terms as Inst season, say $51
