Checking vs. Drilling".
Checking crops does not permit of quite
so expadioui planting of them on occasions
whero, work being retarded perhaps on ac
count of unfavorable weather, it is desired
to c eminence planting as soon as a part of
the field b">s been plowed. Nor is the plan
permissible on land that is much rolling.
But granting that an early start has been
m ide in preparing the soil, and their exists
no urgent reason for planting hastily, and
the lay of the land does not prevent the
adoption of ths plan it is one that should
commend itself snore frequently to farmers
thnn it has appeared to do the past.
Tuere is undoubtedly a great saving of hoe
libortoba obtaine 1 by the observance of
the checking plan, a id somo crops are very
greatly increased by the thorough cultiva
ti m given them as the result of relying s >
exclusively upon horse culture. It is not
to be commanded for some crops—for in
stance, s.veet potatoes, turnips, sorghum,
fodder corn, or in every instance Irish pota
toes, but for crops like cotton or corn there
is no question of its superiority over the
usual drilling plan. In field c sit ire of Irish
potatoes on land suflicie itly level we should
always give the preference to this plan,
having observed it on a number of occa
sions where as much as four or five acres
were planted in potatoes.
In each instance the result was highly
satisfactory,the yield being larger and mado
almost entirely without use of the hoe.
Various distances were given the hills. In
one plat 3 feet by 3 was adopted; in another
3by2; in another S feet by 18 inches, and
als i 2)4 feot by 2)4 feet. It depends upon
the character of the soil which of these is
the best to adopt If the land is rough
and at ail stiff it is better to give
more distance than where the land is a
light loam and susceptible to proper culti
vation with sweep and harrow. Oa land of
this character, it fairly fertile or made so,
3by 2 feet is a very good distance for the
hills, allowing at least two but not more
than three eyes to the hill. Land highly
adapted to this esculent can doubtless be
made to produce its maximum crop of
merchantable potatoes under this allotment
of room and seed. Some of the early sorts
with small tops (like the early rose) may be
made to produce more perhaps with a dis
tance of 2 feet by 15 inches if afforded all
the moisture that they require; but, as a
rule, with our usual spring drouths in April
and May the distance 3 by 2 is to be recom
mended for general adoption.
CHECKING COTTON.
All the large yields of cotton have been
made by the checking plan. A number of
instances where the yield was variously
from two to nearly five bales per acre is on
record. The largest crop made in Georgia
was when the land (very highly manured)
was checked 3 by 3 feet, and only one plant
loft to the hill—l,B4o stalks per acre. The
next largest crop, where three heavy bales
were mado on one acre in South Carolina
was the result of checking 4 by 2)4 feet,
and two stalks left to the hill —8,712 stalks
per acre.
Ocher large yields have been made with
distances 3by 3 and 3by 3. *
Much of the cottou produced in Georgia,
as in other cotton states, is made on laud
where the practice still holds of leaving
15,000 to 20,000 stalks to the acre. More
even than this is loft by many farmers, but
it is only the very ignoraat who now leave
more than 8,000 or 9,000 stalk3 on any kind
of land
There is very little land rich or poor that
requires over 9,000 stalks to enable it to pro
duce its maximum yield. Of course poor
land requires more stalks than rich land
does, but it may be stated without fear of
having the statement disproved that any
land that requires moro than 10,000 stalks
to produce its maximum yield is certainly
not worth cultivating in cotton, or any
other crop perhaps for the profit to be made
directly out of it. There is much medium
land, no doubt, that whea checked 3 by 3
feet will give a larger crop with two stalks
left to the hill than when only one is left.
It may be that a limited area of soil here
and there in localities will produce a little
more with threo stalks than two, but it is
not probable that such land will produce at
any time very satisfactory crops.
CHECKING CORN.
What is true of cotton is true also of
corn, that checking will usually p oduce the
largest yield and with le=s labor. But in
the matter of stalks it is altogether differ
ent. Instead of expecting the best yield
from one stalk the method of culture justi
fies an increase of stalk in the hill in pro
portion to the quality of the soil. Two—
even three oftentimes—3talks of our south
ern field corn may, very safely, be left to
the bill, where under the drill plan as usually
cultivated it would not be advisable to leave
more than one. On good soil, supplied with
plenty of mineral matter, and especially
where a fair quantity of fine raw bone had
been applied, it was found quite proper to
allow three stalks to the hill where the
Blount prolific variety of corn was planted
(and the Adams early also).
The fine tilth that was secured to the land
by the several plowings at right angles
makes a vast difference in the ability of the
crop to withstand droughty weather, with a
judicious use of the harrow or sweep.
On one occasion the writer saw a plat of
fodder corn where the planting was made in
checks 3 by 3 feet, and 12 to 18 stalks grown
to the hill, and many hills averaged a right
good-sized “nubbin” to each stalk. It was
astonishing of edible roasting
ears a small-sized plant furnished, and in a
way, too, that extended the season two or
threo weeks (from the corn’s not maturing
uniformly, but successively according
somewhat to the thtekuess of the stocks in
in the hill).
This incident proved full of suggestion
and led to many interesting tests of thick
planting with various varieties of corn,
especially the early kinds, and we soon
found that while it was a common error to
overcrowd cotton, the general custom was
toha/e too few corn stalks to secure the
largest return from specified area*.
a a. c.
Teoalnte.
“J. B. S.” a-ks if the new plant Teosinte
that he now and then see3 reference to in
the agricultural papers is really of any
value to southern farmers.
It is certainly a very valuable plant in
itself, and I believe would have become ex
tensively adopted by farmers, who want a
large supply of forage, if it would only
make seed in this climate. Numerous tests
have developed the fact that our seasons are
not long enough between frosts to allow of
its maturing seed. It is a tender plant and
can endure no severer cold than our ordi
nary corn. One obstacle has been in the
way of its meeting with the favor that it
deserves, and that has been the difficulty in
getting fresh and reliable seeds to make the
first experiments with. Much the larger
part of Teosinte seed that has heretofore
been sold by seed merchants, or distributed
by agricultural depart neats, have been
stale and only a small per cent, generally
have had vitality enough to ge minute and
grow.
Hundreds of farmers in their efforts to
give the plants a trial have been disap
pointed of getting the information sought,
simply because the seed was not good.
In many cases not a seed came up where
an ounce or half ounce were planted.
Others again wore rewarded with a dozen
or so of plants. I have no doubt if the seed
had been uniformly good to the extent even
of 60 per cent, in these trials,there would now
be a dozen farmers commending and using
to more or less extent Teosinte as a forage
provider where there is only one.
The writer was, perhaps, the first to
record a test of the Teosinte in this state.
In the Southern Cultivator for October,
1879 (page 363) I recorded my impressions of
the plant as derived from a first trial of it.
Repeated trials in a small way since that
time have only confirmed the favorable
impression made by the first trial.
An acre of Teosinte grown under perfect
conditions from beginning to end would
afford an amount of forage that would en
rapture the stock grower perhaps as ho
never was before.
On rich land, with perfectly good seed to
start with, with the planting mide just as
early as the frost will permit, the soil deeply
broken and well pulverized, and the culti
vation prompt and seasonable, one acre
of Teosinte would be worth a good long
walk to see. On level land I should always
plant in checks either 4 by 4 or 5 by 4 feet,
the latter distance on very rich land. One
need not attempt to grow it on poor land.
Disappointment is sure to follow such an
attempt.
Peas or fodder corn is more appropriate
for such land.
Tesointe is not a sorghum, but is more
like corn than anything else. It is rather
slow in growing off, its habit being to tiller
or spread somewhat horizontally before
rapid growth proceeds. Once well started
its grow th is wonderful on rich, moist land.
Planted in March or early in April on such
land it will afford two heavy cuttings, and
the aftermath oftentimes quite a good
pasture after the second cutting, when this
second cutting is made early in October.
The roo s decay during the winter, and af
ford considerable vegetable matter to the
soil, along with the stubble. We hope the
agricultural department at Washington
will secure some first-class seeds for distri
bution next spiring. There are a great many
who need to make a second trial of Teosinte
under more favorable conditions.
a a. c.
Why Seeds Fail to Grow.
There are many reasons why seeds fail to
grow, says the American Agriculturist.
One great cause of failure is immature
seed. The great aim of the seed-grower is
quantity; to get the most from the plant,
rather than the best. The first fruits are
often permitted to ripen seeds for seed pur
poses, which should never be, as the ftist
settings and ripenings are usually imper
fect. The same is true of the last of the
plant’s production; they are weak in vi
tality, and the seeds produced will have a
tendency to perpetuate that weakness. It is
of the utmost importance that seeds should
have attained perfect maturity, and should
have been carefully and healthily pre
served. Immature seed may, it is true, pos
se s the power of germination, butit always
retains a disposition to disease and weak
ness. Weakness perpetuates weakness, and
unshapely forms and poor qualities are
transmitted. Good cultivation, under fa
vorable circumstances, will, in a great
measure, restore vitality, but it is a ques
tion of time, accompanied by a degree of
uncertainty, that the farmer nnd gardener
cannot afford, as there is a liability of fail
ure, or partial failure of crop from this
cause; the responsibilty, in a great measure,
rests upon the seed-grower.
Seeds, saved with the utmost care from
carefully selected stocks, may lose their vi
tality if they are not properly preserved.
All seeds of vegetables or flowers should be
kept perfectly dry, cool and in an airy situ
ation; they ought to be carefully protected
from dampness, and should be kept in a
room that is not alternately moist or dry.
An even temperature and humidity is essen
tial lo the seed’s vitality.
Carelessness in planting is one of the
principal causes of failure. The soil should
be carefully prepared before the seeds are
sown; it should be worked deep, and made
fine, and, when the seed is sown, the soil
should be firmly pressed about them. This
has been practiced by the systematic
horticulturists for centuries, and for this
purpose the garden or farm roller was em
ployed, as much to break up the lumpy soil
as for any other object. The spade was
used for packing the soil firmly about the
seed.* The modern plan, “the use of the
feet in seed sowing,” is one of the most
effective, practical and convenient methods,
as the feet are always with the gardener
and ready for use when required, a fact that
admits of no excuse if the work is neglect
ed. The influences that act upon the seed
to cause growth are heat, air and moisture,
and without a proportionate amount of
each there can be no plant life. Now, it fol
lows that when a seed is put into the
ground, and loosely covered with light, dry
soil, it does not come in contact with suf
ficient moisture to soften its coating; neither
is there sufficient heat, because of the too
great circulation of air around the seed, to
produce tho chemical changes upon which
vegetable growth depends. When we place
a seed into tho earth it commences growth
in two opposite directions, upward into tha
atmosphere and downward into the earth.
The first root the seed puts forth does not
furnish the young plant with food for its
development; it simply holds the plant in
place until the true roots, by which the
plant is fed, are formed, after which it be
comes a part of the plant itself. The cotyle
dons, or seed leaves, contain the food of tho
infant plant until its true leaves and roots
are formed. If the soil is not firmly
pressed around the main root, these feeders
will have nothing to feed upon; they must
come in immediate contact with moisture,
or the warm, dry air will destroy them, and
the whole plane will stand still until new
roots are formed, or, in the meantime,
perish. Herein lies the benefit of firmly
pressing the soil around the seed when
planting.
I IIF. MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MAY 19, 1890.
Deep planting is another frequent cause
of failure. Take, for instance, sweet corn,
and cover in planting from one-half inch to
five inches in depth. The former will ger
minate, if the seed is good, without a loss of
5 per cent., and the latter will not grow 5 per
cent., and theexa t ratio between the two
will be kept up. The cause for the differ
ence is, that the conditions of growth are
not complied with—the deficit being heat,
which, at the season for corn planting, can
not be furnished at so great a depth from
the surface. Asa rule, not more than oao
quarter of an inch of soil should be put
over the seed. Very fine seed should only
he covered from sight. Proper care in seed
sowing, and the too common practice of
burying seeds, is just the difference between
success and failure iu their germination and
growth.
Mechanical assistance, or the manner of
placing the seeds iu the earth, is of greater
importance than is generally supposed, par
ticularly those of the gourd family, or any
large and flat seeds. It is economy to plant
all vine seed edgewise. Lima beans should
always bo placed edgewise, germ down.
The same is true with the seeds of the hybrid
amaryllis. If sown flatwise, they will rarely
make a plant; if sown edgewise, rarely one
will fail, uuder the same conditions of soil
ana temperature. Any careful experimen
ter can easily explain how one man could
complain of the seed sown, while another
would kindly praise the seedsman for seed
from the same stock, and will become con
vinced that, very often, seeds not growing
is more due to poor sowing than to poor
seeds.
Impoverished by Evaporation.
F. Gautior makes a remark that contains
much truth when he says in the Cultivator:
I believe all soils are impoverished more by
evaporation than by leaching down, wash
ing away or by what is taken up by crops.
By examining the subsoil of cultivated
fields, rich or poor, generally yellow or red
clay (sometimes mixed with sand), it will
be found about the same under all sandy
soils. Fresh cleared fields are generally
good, tho luxuriaut growth that covered
them never diminished their fertility, there
was no leaching down, no washing away,
no evaporation; the soil was protected, but
when under cultivation, plowing and ex
posure to the winds and sun of our lo: g
summers they will became impoverished, all
the plant food gone, not down or washed
away but gone up to return no more by that
route. I think a field of our sandy soil if
made very rich after being plowed five or
six times during summer for three or four
years would 6o made very poor whether
planted or not; maybe worse if not planted
at all; it would be more exposed.
Shallow cultivation during summer is the
best in such soils for field crops. For fruit
trees we should imitate nature, put our land
in good condition, plow and harrow and
make as level as possible; after planting
your trees, if in reach, get soms kind of
mulching, pine straw, bark, leaves, saw.
dust, trash of any kind, and cover the
ground, the coarser the stuff the thicker;
four or five inches of saw dust will do. Put
your trees close enough so as tops will meet
when of full size, for then mulching will
not be needed. I have about 100 fig trees,
planted a year ago in very poor dry
soil, mulched with pine bark, bearing and
doiDg very well. The only way, I think, to
raise| figs on a large scale in sandy soil. I
have also 1,000 orange trees plauted in poor
soil—they are Beautiful. Fig or orange
never suffer in the longest drought. This
was begun three years ago, the orange trees
mulched with sawdust, fresh from the mill.
There is little in sawdust as a fertilizer, but
it prevents evaporation from the decompos
ing soil, consequently the soil must be im
proving. This mulching of course is appli
cable to sandy or light soil.
Canning Factories and Vegetable
Growing.
Canning factories are springing up all over
the south, and several new ones have been
announced for Georgia. In a few years more
there will probably be in the aggregate a
considerable area de voted to to natoes, okra,
beaus, corn, small onions, cucumbers,
gherkins, horseradish and one or t.vo
others to meet tho special demands of these
factories.
Farmers should keep their eyes open,
posting themselves as to the best varieties
of each to plant, the most profitable mode
of cultivation, how to make an acre or two
fit in with the other work with one or two
of these just named.
Let him read clearly and intelligently the
papers devoted to his interests, and be on
tne alert for denouements.
Experimental Notes.
Experiments at the New York Experi
mental Station made by Dr. Peter Collier
showed that about 90 per cent, of the fer
tilizing elements contained in the food con
sumed by the dairy cows remained in the
excrement. For every 15 cents worth of
food consumed at least 10 cents worth of
manure was given back if the solid and
liquid matter was properly saved and ap
plied to the soil. Taking cotton seed meal
as an illustration, 100 pounds of it, costing
about $1 25 cents, would give back manure
worth over SI 10 cents.
MEDICAL.
The Many
Remarkable cures of Catarrh effected by tne
use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla are conclusive
proofs that this loathsome and dangerous
disease is one of the blood, needing only
this searching and powerful alterative to
thoroughly eradicate it.
“ i have suffered for years from catarrh,
which was so severe that it destroyed my
appetite and weakened my system. None of
the remedies 1 took afforded me any relief,
until I used Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I began to
take this medicine last spring, and am now
entirely free from that disgusting disease.
My appetite has returned, and I am onee
more strong and healthy.” —Susan L. W.
Cook, 909 Albany street, Boston Highlands,
Boston, Mass.
“My son —now fifteen years of age—was
troubled for a long time with catarrh, in its
worst form, through the effects of which his
blood became poisoned. About a year ago
he began using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, has
taken seven bottles of it. and is now entirely
well.”—D. P. Kerr, Big Spring, Ohio.
“ I was cured of a long-standing catarrh
by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.” James
