The Journal. J. 1).HO) L$ l\L JI EDI TOR S. bettor From C'iipt. Fulton. Capt. J. A. Fulton, of Dawson one of the most successful wheat growers: in all Southwest Georgia, writes the following letter to the Americas lie publican: Col. C. W. H ancock, — Dear Sir By the request of Mr. W. S. Witch aitl. I send you for publication, my experience in wheat growing for the ast three years: In the fall of 1875 I lad a live acre patch which I intended to plant in wheat: but as the ground was oc cupied with cotton, like a great many others, I waited till Christinas for the “top crop’’to open. During Christ mas week I broke up my land with a turn plow, and commenced plant ing Wheat the 4th of Jan’y 1876, by laying off rows 18 inches apart with an 8 inch shovel, putting in the furrow 150 Ihs. Baughs’ Raw Bone Phos phate, and 10 bushels cotton seed per acre, and on top of that, half a bushel of purple straw wheat per acre. Covered with the same eight inch shovel, l>v bursting out the ridge between tbc rows. Then knocked off the top of the ridges with a straight board. Finished planting on the 7ib Jan’y. Had a tine stand in ten days, which grew np finely. Reaped on the 30th of May following, turning out about 15 bushels per acre, weighing 00 lbs. per bushel and turning out 38 lbs. of good flour. Pastured hogs on it two weeks, and planted in speckled peas: picked off twelve bushels, pulled up the vines, 'cured them and fed to stock during winter. On the Ist of Nov. 1876, I com menced breaking land again with turn plow, and finished on the Bth having been delayed by rains, <fcc. Laid off’ rows one foot apart with a five inch scooter, and strewed in fur row 150 lb. Watson & Clark's Guano, and 10 or 12 bushels cotton seed per acre. On the 15th commenced stew ing half bushel of wheat per acre, in furrow with guano and cotton seed and covered all with the same five inch scooter, by bursting out the ridge between the rows. Finished planting on the 25th Nov. Soon had a fine stand on top of the small ridge, which grew' off finely, and com menced heading on 12tl April.— Reaped on the 23rd of May 1877, thrashed on the 25th, and measured up 22 bushels per acre. Had some ground on the 28th. Weighed 64 lbs. and turned out 33 lbs. first qual ity of flour. No rust nor smut. After pasturing stock on the waste wheat four or five weeks, I laid oil rows feet apart and planted speck led peas. Made a fine crop and then gathered about fifteen bushels, and then opened a deep furrow be tween the rows of pea vines while green and laid them down in the row, added about four bushels cot ton seed ] >er acre, and beded on them with a turn plow. On the 15th Nov -1877, I finished breaking out the middles, planted 20lbs. or £ bushel wheat per acre, in water furrow, af ter strewing in said furrow 10 bush els cotton seed and 75 lbs. English Dissolved Bone per acre composted about five or six weeks before using. Covered wheat and compost with a small diamond pointed scooter. Again I had a fine stand of wheat with rows feet apart. Early in the spring, V>efore the wheat began to joint, I barred it off as closely as I could, wit', a very small scooter. Let it stand a week, then ran another farrow round k, filling up the first and. putting a little dirt to the wheat. This was all the cultivation I intend ed to give it, as 1 did not wish to dis turb the bed of pea vines and cot'on seed in the middle, which I intended for cotton. Hut the weeds came up so quickly and grew so rapidly that I feared they would absorb the fertili zers and injure the wheat; so 1 took a gopher or solid sweep and ran two furrows in each middle, shaving off t he weeds and throwing a little more dirt to tlie wheat and still leaving a flight elevation or ridge in the mid dle above the pea vines. <&c. I am satisfied that these plowings materi allv benefitted the wheat. It grew oft rapidly and commenced heading on the first of April, nearly two weeks earlier than last year. On the 23rd of April I commenced planting cotton between the rows of wheat by opening the bed where I had hurried the pea vines and cotton seed, with a three inch scooter, put ting in 75 lbs Zell’s Guano per acre, strewing the seed through a guano : trumpet ano covering with two fur j rows with same scooter. Finished j planting on the Ist May, and in a 1 day or two knocked off the tops of ridges with a board. The cotton came tip nicely, but the stand was a I little injured by cut-worms and grass hoppers (locusts). On the 18th May I had my wheat cut and thrashed on the 23rd, and it measured up 103 bushels, or a little over 20 bushels i per acre, of the very best quality of wheat. Mr. B. H. Hood, who has thrashed over four thousand bushels ' this season, says it is the heaviest and best wheat lie has thrashed: and i Mr. J. M. Curry, of our city mills, 1 says it is the best he has ground. I ' attribute this partly to the care and management of the seed, care and mode of plan’ing and partly to the distance and cultivation. Soon after removing my wheat | crop I barred oft' and chopped out | my cotton ; plowed and hoed it again and am now plowing it the third time. I have six acres in cotton, and it is very pretty f>r its age, will average 18 inches high, and is grow ing rapidly and 1 looming and boil ing profusely ; and if it continues at its present rate I think I will make three bales, or half a bale per acre. But I fear I am making this letter too long, If you or your readers wish to know my reasons for drill iug wheat instead of broadcasting, in the old way, I will give them in an other article. Also what I know and think about cultivating wheat, &c. Yours truly, John A Fulton. Dawson, Ga.. July' 15, 1878. South Georgia Bonanza. For several years past the LeCon te, or Chinese sand pear, has been at tracting the attention of nurserymen and horticulturists. It is a prolific and an early bearer, and seems to he proof against the diseases and insects that usually attack pear trees. Mr. L L Yarnado, of Tliomasville, in a letter to the Puitman Reporter, gives a history of this remarkable pear.— It was introduced in Georgia, in 18- 56, by Major John I-eConte, of New York, who presented a rootlet to Mrs. Harden, of Liberty county, who planted it in 1856. The tree began to bear in 1860, and it was then dis covered that the pear besides being good for cooking and preserving wa 8 a most delicious table fruit when ripe. Mr. Yarnadoe secured a cut ting and grew the second tree in Georgia. After this time the war intervened and the trees were near lected, hut when peace had returned, Mr. Yarnadoe turned his attention to the cultivation and propagation of the sand pear for the purpose of plac ing the fiuit on the market. He moved to Thomas county in 1869, carrying with him a number of cut tings from the tree. These lie plant ed in January of that year, but was not successful in getting many of them to live. From those that sur vived, however, Mr. Vamadoe inaug. urated what may very appropriately be termed anew industry in southern Georgia. In 1871, Mr. Yarnadoe gave a few cuttings to Mr. II 11. Sanford, of the Dixie nursery, who immediately recognized the remarkable qualities of the new variety. Mr. Yarnadoe says that in an experience of twenty years he lias never seen a diseased tree or defective fruit. The tree s vapid in its growth, attaining the height of thirty feet long and limbs twenty feet long bend down under their delicious burden until they touch the ground, so that, when fully fruited, the trees resemble in appearance the weeping willow. The fruit is ready for market a month earlier than other varieties of large pears—say about the first of August—and therefore commands a fancy price. Mr. Varuadoe sold a consignment of this fruit in Boston on the 2d of last August for ten dol lars a bushel. The yield of the tree is extraordinary, and Mr. Varnadoe is of the opinion that his orchard will make at the inte of oue thousand bushels to the acre, and at ten dollars a bushel to the acre, it will be per ceivcd, can be made quite profitable. So great is the faith of Mr. Varnadoe in the future of this fruit, that, he and his sons have put out one thous and trees. Mr. 11. 11. Saiidford, of Ttomas county, who has done more than any one else to introduce the sand pear, challenges the world to produce a tree show ing more fruit annual y than the LcCoute variety, lie says furthermore, that he would rather have one thousand bearing pear trees than the best cotton plantation in the country. It seems that south Geor gia is in possession of area! bonanza. —Atlanta Co.s'itution.
