Savannah News.
Among t-hone who have studied tin;
possibilities of cultivating tin* indigenous
grasses of the South is Mr. Constantine
Mencius, t he w< il-kuowu cotton exporter,
<37 Bay street. Mr. Menelas has very
pronounced views on tin* subject, and he
believes that Ihe South not only ought
to raise all the Imy for its own use, but it
should export it largely, as in his opin
ion it is a very profitable crop. He says
that Southern fanners, in the main,
exert themselves to kiil the grasses out
to cultivate a little corn, when the grass
is the more profitable crop. Knowing
that Mr. Menelas has been giving a great
deal ot attention to the subject a Morn
ing News reporter asked him il he was
willing to give the readers ol the Morn
ing 'News Iho benefit of his researches in
hay from natural grasses.
“Certainly, sir/’ he replied. “It is a
very pleasing subject to me. I think the
South is the richest in all the resources
that go to make a section independent,
self-supporting and prosperous. Here
we can have ten months for utilizing the
ground, and when we compare the South
with the bleak hills of the North, where,
in spite of the natural disadvantages,
its communities have become prosper
ous, why should we not outstrip them,
and t he South become the wealthiest por
tion (if the United States?
A Economy,” said Mr. Menelas, “in all
industries and branches of man's occu
pation, but more especially in agricultu
ral pursuits, is most essential to success;
yet those who are interested in agricul
ture, in the South particularly, appre
ciate that truth less, always with some
exceptions, of course.
AN EASILY GROWN CROP.
“Now, in this single item of feed for
our stock is an illustration. We bring
our hay from the North at an enormous
expense, when we could easily raise it at
home, and thus cease paying such heavy
annual tributes to other States. Of
course many will repeat the old story
that we cannot raise good hay, and give
some reason that lias no foundation in
fact. I believe most firmly that we can
raise all the hay we need, and my belief is
based upon facts established by expe
rience at our plantation at Brookhaveti,
Miss., and upon similar facts which have
come under my observation in numerous
places in Mississippi, Louisiana, Ala
bama, and lately in tliat.State, and only
from fifteen to twenty miles from Sa
vanna! i. •
“Two weeks ago I accepted a kind in
vitation to visit Mr. It. Habersham
Clay's place in Bryan county, where,
amid the air of a genial and proverbial
Southern hospitality, I spent two clays
most delightfully. Mr. Clay has a large
plantation oil the Ogeechee river, lying
beautifully, and having fields suitable
for rice and others above overflow for di
versified crops. He works his place with
all the improved agricultural implements
and upon tlie sound basis of doing in
telligently and well whatever he attempts
to do. lie noticed some time since that
one of his fields of upland had Bermuda
grass upon it, and kowing its value as
lmy, he at once set to work with a view
of encouraging it to take in all the field,
which ia a short time was covered with a
rank and most luxuriant growth of
Bermuda. The next year, the season
being favorable, he had three mowings
on his field of five acres, and saved, in
all, fifteen tons of excellent hav, which
he sol i at prices ranging from sls to
S2O per toil delivered at the depot. Last
year the season being very dry he saved
only one and one-half tons to the acre
at !lie safeic price, but the sales were ef
fected much easier the second year, the
parties buying it having but one com
plaint. that the hay was too good, and
the stock 1 consumed a little more than
they Ijked to give it,
BERMUDA GRASS.
“That Bermuda is one of the most val
uable grasses, on account .at its heavy
yield, of its being perennial and needs no
seeding or sowing every year, growing
on all kinds of soil, rich or light, is a
fact established beyond question, and
needs no further comment.
“Let us only look into its money
value as a crop. The five acres of Mr.
Elay's gave three tons of hay the first
year and one and a half tons per acre the
second year, in nil four and a half tons
in two years, or two and a quarter tons
at #2O per ton, equal to $45. If we de
duct #lO for expense of mowing, curing,
baling and handling, it leaves $35. But
say #3O, as the net product on one acre.
Now the value of hand is determined by
the net receipt from it. If we take the
minimum, or s.‘3o per acre, the proceeds
would net a capital of S3OO, yielding 10
percent, per annum. In other words, an
acre of laud that produces S3O, is wort if
to the ;owner S3OO. Mr. Clay, fully real
izing the value of that crop, is encourag
ing the Bermuda to take hold of fifty or
sixty etcree, and will gradually increase
its acreage.”
“But: all farmers may not farm as in
telligently as Mr. Clay?”
“It may be argued,” Mr. Menelas re
plied, “that all Southern farmers lia*ve
not the facilities or advantages possess-
ed by Mr. Clay;, and while this might be
true, it is no less true that every South
ern hi rmer can raise, if he oifjy tries, all
the lmy he needs for his #tock. and save
the amount he would have to pay other!
for it. It is to this point especially that
the Morning News should call the most
serious attention of its farmer readers
all over the South. The principal object
of every farmer is to live with some de
gree of prosperity, at his agricultural
home, by first raising all he needs for
the care of man and animals, or stock,
and alferu avd other crops for sale. If he
succeeds ii) this, affluence willffollow as a
matter of course.
A ( ROI* FOR EXPORT.
“Avery trustworthy authority informs
me that fine Bermuda hay, free from
weeds, is valued very highly in New York
and that the Lorillards and others pre
for paying #4O per ton for Bermuda to
#25 lor timothy hay. I remember also
to have read that a few bales of fine Ber
muda hay had been shipped to New York
last year from Meridian, Miss., as a sam
ple shipment, and the reports received as
to the value of thepm.v far exceeded the
most sanguine expectations.”
“Is the Bermuda the only profitable
native grass?”
“Not at all. In addition to the Ber
muda Mr. Cla.v raises the paspalum, mis
named in some States ‘water grass,' and
here as ‘crow-foot,’ I think. This being
coai-eer than Bermuda, he sells at sls
per ton. I have seen his two fields of
about eighteen to twenty acres, which
are admirably # well prepared for that
grass, and if the season be favorable he
will have two mowings and three tons to
the acre. I sent a small quantity of that
grass to Dr. I?hares forexainination, and
by his letter to me of May 12 lie calls it
excellent paspalum proecox.
“The genus paspalum comprises a
large number of species, mostly confined
to the South, nearly all perennial and
all growing on cultivated fields. This
grass is one of the most valuable of all
our Southern grasses, and compares fa
vorably with the best known of the-culti*
vated grasses as to nutritive qualities.
The following comparison of the nutri.
tive qualities of the three principal grass
es will show the nutritiousness of the
paspalum:
Timothy 07.2 b
Paspalum 05.85
Orchard 00.99
Blue Grass 50.00
SOME FACTS FOR FARMERS.
“It will be seen that paspahim conies
next and very close to timothy in nutri
tive ingredients, but exceeds all as to
yield per acre, and the grass-eating ani
mals eat it with avidity ami thrive on it.
It is of the utmost importance,that these
facts should be thoroughly understood
and duly appreciated by Southern far
mers in general, and a determined effort
be made by them toward availing them
selves of the vast resources which a kind
Providence has placed within reach of
them all.
“The. paspalum grows on upland as
well as on bottom lands, but, of course,
the richer the soil the better the yield.
The only thing required is, early in April,
to plow well and harrow thoroughly a
field where this grass was matured the
previous year, and two cuttings may be
secured with a propitious season. We
have over 125 head of stock on our plan
tation, and feed nothing but hay of pas
palum and crab grass grown on our
fields, and better hay we could not wish
to have. To see the fields when the grass
is from 2 1-2 to 3 feet above the ground
the eye is charmed with the richness and
beauty of the crop, and the heart
is filled with sorrow that grass culture
does not become more general in the
South, if not for cash crops, at least for
our own immediate wants.
“In addition to the Bermuda and pas
paluni, we have another grass with
which every planter is familiar, and
which, in tiie language of I)r. Dhares,
’has won many a hard contest against
man and beast, with plow and hoe, forc
ing the man, with wearied brain and
exhausted muscle, to gain his bread in
the sweat of his brow.’ That grass is
the paniciim, or crab grass, growing
luxuriantly in all cotton and corn fields
and possessing nutritive ingredients
which compare most favorably with the
best Northern grasses. This grass, cut
in bloom, makes most excel 7 ent hay and
stock is ver\ fond of it. Not only what
grows in cotton and corn holds should
be saved, but fields where this grass
matured in the preceding year should be
worked as for paspalum, and excellent
results'may be obtained.
A WCALTii iA iIAV.
“hi these three grasses, Bermuda, pas
palum and panieung needing no seeding
yearly, and but very little work, the
South has a vast wealth, provided only
that it utilizes it. Not only could we
supply our own wants, but graduady
produce 'large quantities for export
to States where the land is more expen
sive, the seasons shorter, and the yield
not as laruje as ours. With an intelli
gent and determined effort the Southern
States, whi*-h are now paying such a
heavy tribute to other States for hav ?
may become independent of them, and
the South may find out gradually that
hay, as a crop, has a money value like
other products of the soil and almost
wit hout any of their drawbacks.
“There is another thing to be consid
ered: All farmers who have stock to feed
should, above all, establish winter pas
tures, by sowing grasses that are green
all the winter and do not require to be
replanted annually. 'Klie advantage of
such pastures is permanent, and they
save the farmer the trouble and the not
inconsiderable excuse of cutting hay,
curing, hauling and constructing commo
dious barns for it. The best combina
tion of seeds for such purpose, is proba
bly the following to each acre of ground:
One bushel tall meadow oats.
One bushel orchard grass.
One bushel wild rye, terrel.
Four quarts of blue grass.
WOODS PASTURES.
Woods pastures, which eoriespond
with the English parks, might be found
very profitable. All that is needed to
convert dead property into live capital
is to thin out the timber, leaving the
trees about 20 feet apart, sparing the
best. cut down should be
piled and burned in as small a heap as
possible to allow the ashes to be more
evenly distributed and better stimulate
theyoungtrees. Then the ground may be
harrowed so as to simply loosen the sur
face, and just before or during a light
shower sow the seeds. No covering is
necessary. The same grass seeds that
have been recommended for winter pas
tures can be sown on this land. Scarcely
any other improvement could add more
to the value of a landed estate than such
pastures or parks, and nothing certainly
could contribute more to the general at
tractiveness of the plantation or farm.
Lt is worthy of note that the Swiss people,
being unable to properly cultivate their
mountain slopes, have converted them
into pastures, and these form the basis
of their national wealth. Why should
this not be the case, to a certain extent,
at least, with the inhabitants of the pine
wood region of the Southern States?”
Growth of Life Insurance.
The recent announcement that Mr.
John Wannamaker, the big Philadelphia
merchant, had accumulated $1,000,000
of life iusurance, calls to mind the rapid
growth of this business in the Fnited
States. Last year the life companies in
this country issued an average of over
$2,000,000 of new insurance every day.
A recent inquiry developed the fact that
in Boston alone the citizens who have
their lives insured in amounts from $50,-
000 to $500,000 hold policies aggregat
ing oversl2,ooo,ooo. In Massachusetts
there are over 70,000 life policies, aggre
gating more than $158,000,000. In sev
eral of the larger States the total life in
surance far exceeds these figures. The
total amount of life insurance in the
United States at this time is estimated at
the enormous sum of $3,000,000,000,
and nearly 1,000,000 families are inter
ested in it.
