Atlanta, March 1, 1831.
First I wish to cull attention to a
typographical error in last month’s re
port, which makes me say ex icily the
opposito of what I intended—that, is
that poor land can bear more fertilizer
than rich land. The fact I wished to
emphasize is that poor land will not re
spond to largo amounts of commercial
fertilizer, and that there is no more
effective way to “burn up” a crop than
to apply several hundred pounds to land
which, though originally good, has l>een
in clean culturo for sovjral successive
years, and is consequently almost desti
tute of vegetable matter or humus. To
make the commercial fertilizer most
effective, this humus must bo supplied
by either green crops or composts, and
until there is a moderate amount of this
necessary ingredient restored to the soil,
we must be, if we would realize any cor
responding profit for our investment,
careful as to the amount of fertilizer'
used. Once our lauds uro filled with
humus, we can venture on heavy and
sure paying application of the commer
cial goods. The
UNFAVORABLE WEATHER
During the latter part of January and
the first of February lias much retarded
out work, but the deficit of 17 inches
in tho annual rainfall must bo inado up
at some time, and perhaps it is better
just now than lator, when the Beeds
have been put in the ground and the
young plants find it almost impossible to
push their way through the crust which
must inevitably form after very heavy
rains.
March is essentially tho month for
CORN PLANTING
throughout the state. The first of April
usually finds the bulk of the crop put in,
nltliongh owing to later springs, and
some changes of methods, the time for
planting is delayed, perhaps a week,
later than in former years. As to the
proper time of planting one must be
guiued by circumstances. Some very
-euccesful planters, maintain that the
crop should lie planted as eurly as possi
ble after the Ist of March, even where
the opening plow breaks the frost crust.
This may succeed in some localities and
on some qualities of land, but, as a rule,
my experience has been, that it is better
for the laud to become somewhat warm
ed up before putting the seed in. I have
planted, when the mornings were icy,
and winter still lingered in the air, and
although 1 now advocate early planting.
I think we should be somewhat guided
by natural indications as the swelling of
the hickory and maple buds and other
fore runners of spring. I have often
noticed, that where this precaution is
observed, and the plants get a good start,
a severe nipping by i late frost is no dis
advantage, for whi e the top may bo
temporarily checked, the root growth
still progresses, and the consequence is
a sturdy vigorous plant.
If an eurly crop is desired, it is well
to plant only a part of the crop, thus
leaving the bulk for later planting. This
early crop often matures and makes a
good crop, when the main crop is cut off
by drought.
The seed for the main crop should V>e
each ns him been tested and found suited
to each locality. For tho early crop
select the best tested variety of early
maturing seed, and plant on warm lands,
having, if possible, a southern exposure.
One advantage of this plan is, that tho
cultivation of this early planting does
not conflict with that of the cotton crop,
as is often the the case, whero the entire
corn crop is planted later. Another ad
vantage is, that the tendency of early
E lanted corn is to smaller stalks and
eavier ears, two very desirable points
In our climate where excossivo stalk
growth is one of ad vantages to be
guarded against. After years of expe
rience and experiment, I believe that
PLANTING IN THE WATER FURROW
is the surest and safest. It was the plan
pursued by that eminently successful
farmer, David Dickson of Hancock, and
greatly conduces to the level culture
now almost universally conceded to bo
the only true method. 1 have found
that a good plan is to plant the seed in
the water furrow, three feet apart, and
the rows should be at least five, six, or
even seven feet —the latter was Dixon s
rule, and to avoid the injury, which the
water flowing through the furrow might
cause, cover with a double foot plow,
having short narrow bull tongues. The
little ridge thus made protects the seed
and young roots from any damage that
might result from the flow of water,
ami while the seed are not too heavily
covered, they are still a good deal below
the surrounding surface. Any one who
has studied the habits of the corn plant
knows that the roots are formed at each
joint ami alxive the first set, and if tho
seed ure planted too deep these first
roots are superceded by others thrown
out in all directions from each successive
ring. As the corn develops, seeking for
light and heat and air, all of which at
this season, must come from above,
our object should lie to make the first
roots do full duty. To accomplish this
our plan of planting and
cultivation
should be such as to cause them to de
velop near enough to the surface to take
in a sufficient of air and sun
shine, and yet not too near to he injured
by unexpected or unfavorable extremes
of weather, and as each successive set
of roots is developed to throw a little
more soil to the plant, thus giving the
stalk a firm hold in the soil.
David Dickson's plan of cultivation » as
to use only the sweep, sifting a little
dirt to the corn each time, until at the
third and l;vst plowing the field was left
perfectly level, and the corn, with
healthy, vigorous roots thoroughly im
bedded in the earth. Hut this presup
poses the band thoroughly broken and
the soil finely pulverized throughout.
Where tho field is rough, a long, nar- ■■
row scooter run next to the young plants,
opens a furrow, which admits t>ie beat j
and light from below, and by leaving
this furrow open, until we turn back to
work the “middles," the roots are en
couraged to strike deeper into the soil,
and thus perform the:r full function in
supporting the plant. As the upper
roots form, the cultivation should be
such as to throw a little more dirt to tho
plant, until the final plowing leaves tho
field perfectly level, and only the last
circle of ‘‘brace" roofs visible. By this
plan there is no “lulling up.” and no
hoeing, beyond puriiapj a little, when
the corn is thinned out to cue stalk ti
each three feet.
MASFRINO.
Corn is a greedy feeder, and will take
up almost any kind of maimr Tie
question of applying in the drill or road
casting depends on the quantity to !■
used; tiio time of application <iep nds on
the quality of the manure. Better re
sults are obtained from heavy compost
and barnyard manures, by putting them
in early—broadcasting large amounts -
covering lighter applications in the drill.
Time is thus given for the chemical re
action and combination, which at once
becins, and the samp may be said of
phosphates. Oil level land, whore the
ordinary commercial fertilizer cannot be
washed away, it is entirely safe to apply
in February. Cottonseed meal should
be applied later, and nitrate of soda ;
planting time or even later. The man
ner of applying fertilizers should lx
guided by the amount. If only a small
quantity is used, say 100 to 200 pounds,
it is la-st to put in the drill, the thinner
the soil, the greater the risk of heavy ap
plication in the drill, and this should bo
thoroughly incorporated with the soil,
not put in a narrow line, or iti little
spots near the »eod. lf heavier applica
tions are made, it is better to broadcast
or put. in adjacent furrows, at, the first
and second working, thus it Will beilior.
evenly distributed, injury from drought
is less probable, and the roots, in seek
ing food, will spread out, instead of con
centrating at one point.
CORN PAYS
on bottom land or very rich upland, but
not on poor land. All such land will bu
better and more profitably planted in
peas. The yield is excellent stock fee l,
and will improve instead of maring
out the laud. < tats and paas alternated,
will furnish all the stock feed needed
and at far less cost, and the land is put
in condition to yield heavy crops of corn
and cotton. On average uplands a good
mixture for corn is as follows:
Cottonseed meal 200 lbs.
■Superphosphate 100 lbs.
Kainit 50 lbs.
If tho land has been in peas, use less
meal and more superphosphate. For
good land or fivsh bottom land t ie fol
lowing:
Cottonseed meal 300 lbs.
Superphosphate : 200 lbs.
Kainit 50 lbs.
As I have advised before it is cheaper
for the farmers to buy the ingredients
and do the mixing themselves. If farm
era will take the time and the trouble,
they can buy the crude materials, and
by doing this work at home, save that
expense which is usually about £1 or $!
a ton.
PREPARATION FOR COTTON.
If the land has been thoroughly and
deeply broken, the further preparation
is comparatively easy and rapid, partic
ularly if a cultivator is used in making
tlie beds. One man witli two horses
and a cultivator can accomplish as
much in a day as four men and four
mules by the old method of single plows.
The plan is to lay off the furrows, ac
cording to the strength of tho land, al
lowing amplo distance for tlie full de
velopment of the plant, and for light,
air and heat to have tree access to all
parts; put in the manure and the culti
vator will do the rest very rapidly.
Where tho lan I lias not been well
broken—and there has been so much un
favorable weaiher that many farmers
have been disappointed in carrying out
their good intentions in this matter—
open, put in the manure and run a sub
soiler, a long scooter will do, in the
same furrow. This serves the double
purpose of thoroughly incorporating the
manure with the soil and of furnishing
a deeper bed, into which tho cotton,
which it must be remembered is a tap
rooted plant, can send its roots for food
and moisture, anil thus become more
thoroughly fortified against our inevita
ble drouth.
1 have seen the ground in a cotton
field, after a long drouth, covered with
young forms and bolls, while near by on
land better prepare,), but with this ex
ception, under the same conditions, the
plants were green and vigorous, and
though not taking on much additional
fruit, rttainining and developing in a
healthy condition that already formed.
Tho bulk of the cotton crop will not
be planted before April, and much of
the land to be devoted to this crop has
yet to have the first furrow imt into it.
Let me urge that the preparation as
much as possible, be deep and thorough.
This once accomplished the rest is com
paratively easy, and every dollar ex
pended on fertilizers will tlu-n make
some adequate return. In bedding with
a single plow it is advisable to throw a
list on the fertilizer furrow, and finish
out the bed after this list is completed.
By this plan, when we afterwards open
the furrow lor tho seed, wo have a fresh,
clean mellow bed, ready for their favor
able reception and germination. Tho
bed should never be high and tho seed
should be the best. In regard to
FLHTILtZING COTTON.
What has been previously said of corn,
applies with equal force, if the land is
poor, heavy applications of commercial
fertilizers, either brodeast or drilled are
too risky, and on such lands 100 or 200
pounds to the acre will not pay, at pres
ent price of cotton, for the cost of pro
duction. It is best to throw out of cul
tivation, on cotton at least, every such
unprofitable acre. What is the use of
straining every nerve, exiting tribute
from every resource of the farm, and
then selling the nroduct below its cost!
