Middle Georgia Argus SMITJL ~ - EDITOR THURSDAY MORNING OCT 13 1881. SOWING SMALL GRAIN. I nder the pressure or a much dimin • if? supply, the scarcity of corn ami forage for work animals in a "-eat portion of tlio Southern and-Wester, producing States, much will be fcai ,i aiM written about the absolute necessity of iow.ng extensively of small grain. Our journals of agriculture, and press gener- Mly, will teem with advice and warning ; I} on this most important step to he W T ° ?

This work ot constant writing and advice would be amply repaid and encouraged in an ex hibition of plenty ot these products at the right time and with little or less ex penditure of seed, labor and time than will be given to this work. .Sowing gram, unforfunatelv with most tanners, means just that ojd careless, -lOVenly manner of scattering the costly -.e(Mt and turning them uqder, eon,soiling themselves that they .have done the auric, and expect a return of a crop, by accident, perhaps; for it is ;.n accident it they make a part of a crop,.with weeds |md turf, all half broken, turned over the seed, with an ancient plow; running two when under the surface. Unfortunate these fanners, least fitted with imple ie nts'of cult.vation, and ijiost indiiler cntas to work, are tlio veiv ones who need most supplies, and-journals and oapera dont reach themf or if told of the value of time and lahoj in nuttin - m grain properly, wil sav, “This is tao mm h trouble and expense, I will slap it in as my either did, and let it do what it will. Th#cultivation of grain on thin r cxlvuasted land in this way is more than a loss of work, and had better he left alone, Even on thin soil, with good preiiara uion and flic seed put in p-dperpy, citlior 1 nrnod in with a plow inter wards or put in with a cultivator or harrow, and the the land Vp rnoothe by tlie harrow will ■n i .air return, if done in the 1 months. . “Ur writer 1 ygsto offer the following *' i** ienc® for years pastf in making most ' i rye and oats as r food for work ani "kiK saving space of ground, work and much labor and harvesting, preparing best lots, or small areas of ■ land using v-ither eoiton seed or a fertilizer Ononom ; :dir on the plowed surface; The seed ate distributed as follows: Nptless than two ad ft half bushels of oats or One and i lialf bushels of rve per note. A culti vaitor is then dragged ovot ‘tjiis and a |i arrow across the eultivfetdr way. This loaves the laud in Smooth, beatitiful or der for the cradle, scythe blade, or mow or or reaper. When the rye, which i "( largo enough to food, is ready, stock iven a little green every dav. As ns tho rye is in full bloom—still the f da!!\ green—before seed are formed, put the mower into it and make rye bay. Did you ever mow and'Save yye bay? It only requires one bright, sunlit day in our beautiful Southern May climate to cure rye. l\.tke it up topsy-turv* Svith your horse rake, and haul it in or stack if for future immediate use. Now, soon the oats are in bloom, and your horses and mules much meter this food, cut philst green, a -little every day. When il:c seed arc; an a dough state, and fhe Palk is still green, put tlie mower jhrotigh, and make‘hay of this, usinS jiorsc fake like in the rye—no bindin3 h) sheaves, ft takes two days of sun to ci]rc oats into' hay.

Creep and svjreet; you have cured in the stalk all the elements of per fect food, in good dilution, that would have been manufactured up into seed, "hen Ibo stalk would he worthless. Your rye hay may now rest till fall or " inter, when your horses will consume, with a little corn, every sprig of this, kou will have enough of grain in parts ,oi your patch to mature for seed, to he ;ut and put in bundles for seed, at the proper time. 1 was driven to this plan to avoid, annually, a loss'of a part, oral!, of my oat erop. Just as my grain was i ineuing and seed perfecting, annually, i found rust oil my out stalks. Now, the ' a km my climate is always unhealthy ar this particular time, and a rain wets it like paper, and the least wind 1 edges it. The grain all falls down. A dry 1 ime is absolutely necessary to save mV r\pe grain. ta; at the period above mentioned, I never lose my oat crop. I .Wt all and in most healthy order, for the disease has not exhibited itself at this period. Only occasionally you see a little rust ai the bottom of the stalk.
