DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: SATURDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 12, 1874. ttOITTHEBN I'AMIXO ECOXOMT. LIMING, PI8TBIBUTION OF CROPS, A HALT 8 IS OF BOIL, BTC. Editor Enquirer.Sun: Haviug just read with pleasure the communication of “Virginia,” on the subject of Southern Agriculture, in to-day’* paper, I ask the privilege of commending it in the main to Southern farmers, and trust they will heed and praotice its precepts. “Virginia” struck the key-note of our present troubles and struggles with pov erty when he asserted that our farmers are “sadly deficient in agricultural educa tion.” A more thorough acquaintance with agricultural science would certainly insure more success and create greater in terest in farming, and stimulate industry far beyond its present tardy gait. All the surroundings considered, the sun does not shine on a more favored land than this. We need only the light of science to shed her benign rays upon darkened waye y and lead us to desert our old habit*, when poverty will be banished and pros perity and plenty will smile again. While thus commending the communi cation of “Virginia” as a whole, I must except to a few items. 1st. While his green soiling precepts command my unqualified approbation, I except to the manner of his application of lime—turning it in with pea vine*. The English farmers, who have been practis ing the liming of their lands for hun dreds of years, say that experience has clearly demonstrated that lime should bo placed always on or near the surfaoe, to insure the best results, as it naturally gravitate**, so that in some six or eight years (the time somewhat dependent on the tenacity of the soil) it passes so deep into the soil that crops cannot utilize it; hence a new “liming” becomes necessary, or what is its equivalent, the running of a turning plow very deep, by which the former liming is thrown upon the surface again, and subserves the same purposes as at first. Thus practised, the liming of lunds is considered the basis of all good farming in Old England. 2. In the rotation system recommended by “Virginia,” I see he allots half the laud in cultivation to cotton, fifty acres, and only twenty-five to corn, and twenty- five to wheat and oats. This planting of such a large area in cotton has been, uud still is, one of the great evils of Southern farming. At the present prices, any oth er crop usually cultivated in this couutry, will yield better returns, amount of labor required for each considered, than cotton. 3. “Virginia” recommends the farmer to send specimens of his soil for analisis to the State Agricultural Chemist, in or der that be may indicate such manures ns may be needed in the soil sont, uud V. further advises “if he (chemist) wont, or can’t tell 3011, turn him out, and get one that can;” and V. further insists that “you must know the constituents of your soil and learn how to treat them, just as the physician does the diseases of the hu man frame.” All good chemists, from Leibig dow n to the present day, admit some light may be shed upon the consti tution and wants of a soil by chemical analysis, but all of them frankly confess their incompotcncy to determine in the laboratory what a soil needs, to make it most productive. It is by experiment in plant growth alone that we must look for a solution of these perplexing questions. Every farmer, therefore, should be an ex perimenter, and do as V. suggests. Meet in Granges and exchange views, and dis cuss all important questions pertaining to farm operations. These hasty thoughts are suggested in no fault-finding spirit with the excellent communication of “Virginia.” Only to eliminate truth. Would that we hod some suoh man as V. farming in every neigh borhood in the South, whose example might inspire our farmers with more con fidence in scientific farming. Georgia. CIIATTA1IOOCIIEE COUNTY. CR0P8—GOPHERS—RATTLESNAKES— POLITICS, ETC. Halloca, September 10, 1874. Editor Enquirer-SunAs news letters are generally welcomed at an editor's sanc tum, I will give you a short sketch from the county of Chattahoochee ; and as old Mus cogee is the mother of Chattahoochee, I know that people down your way (at least I think so) are interested in our welfare. The cotton crop with us is very poor, from causes already reported; corn very good, a much larger area having been planted thau last year; field peas, pota toes, inauuts, &o., are all sorry, for want of rain in time; and last, though not least, the gopher crop is remarkably fine. Lazy freedmen are subsisting ou them almost entirely in many localities, many of your readers are, perhaps, not familiar with the varmint, I will give you a short sketch of the animal. The gopher is very much like the common water tur tle, only the sholl on his back being much thicker. His legs protrude from under neath his coveriug as the turtle’s, but they are much stouter than those of the turtle, as he has been known to carry on his back two hundred pounds. The gopher never travels in night time, always preferring the light of the sun to that of the moon. He also keeps housed up in winter by bur rowing in the earth, digging his den some times to the depth of twenty feet, and in case of a freedman camp-meeting in the neighborhood ho has been known to go as deep in the bowels of the earth as twenty- five feet. And speaking of the gopher, I will drop a word of warning to the gopher- eaters of Chattahoochee : it is not gener ally known that the rattlesnake is the com- panion of the gopher, but such is the oaro. Both have been frequently found in the same den, so in digging for gophers it might be well to keep an eye skinned in another direction. Politics arc beginning to attract some attention. We have a substantial candi date in the field, and one that will doubt less win the race. All the powers of Rad icalism in Chattahoochee, methinks, will fail to beat J. Whittle. Respectfully, J. J.
