THE SOUTHERN GRASS CROPS. The Hay Crop a Natural Product of the Farms. Tlc Ki'nln of Cruise* That art* Indigo nous to <G*orjii: iiud That Can lie Grown With tin* (ireutest Profit. 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. lietter Than Suicide.
