ACRICIXTURB.
ON THE CULTIJRE OF CORN, PEAS,
AND PUMPKINS; by a Planter.
Sik —I laving attempted, in former numbers
on the general management of a plantation in
the middle country, to shew how your lands
should be cleared, the fields prepared, the ma
nure put on, and the cotton planted and at
tended, with the remedies lor its injuries and
j enemies, I shall now try to plant a crop of
I corn and make it. And first, as to the seed,
i I should select from the most prolific stalks of
the proceeding year, and change the seed ev
ery third year. The flints are generally ear
lier and being harder,resist belter the effects
of the moisture of the swamps, make hotter
homony, contain more weight and-nourish
ishment per bushel, and keep sounder through j
the summer than the guoni-seed ; but gourd
seed contains more hour, is easier ground,
more digestible with stock, and 1 think,yields
more per acre. I should plant the white
gourd-seed for winter use,and the Tm cVrora
for summer, and house them in the' half shuck,
Tho Tuscurora is an eight rowed large grain
cui long cared flinty corn. I should commence
to plant in the warmest soil in the first week
til March, and oon till early in April. On
| rich and alluvial soils you‘may plant as late
as the middle of July and make good corn,
1 and pumpkins and cow peas three weeks later
in common autumns. Early corn lias, the
following recommendations: It is worked and
thinned before cotton needs work, it makes a
short stalk and less liable to fall from winds,
it fits thu season for rain better, and will wait
longer lor it, it rnakesa thick and heavy Made
which is fit to pul! at more leisure season ; and
generally m-kes more per acre. Late corn
runs more into to stalk and less into grain, its i
blade is watery and dries up too much, and is j
not strong food, (the same difference exists;
between early and very late crab-gross hav)
for these reasons I give a decided preference l
for early planting. Plant three or four times j
as many grains in a hill as you wish to remain j
and deep: as safer from birds and frosts.— j
Frosts may cut down flush with the ground,!
and the deep-planted will come again, it pen
etrates deep iu light and loose uplands, and
very shallow in clay r,r stiff swamps; you
must have observed that fall-sown small grain,
on light uplands are very rnuah thinned by the
winter’s frosts, when the grain 011 the stiii'
lands arc uninjured.
The number of stalks to be left on the acre
Should be regulated by the number of bush-
Is you ought to expect from the acre, allow
ing from 120 to l it) stalks to the bushel; thus
lands, to make fifteen bushels, should have
2500; and forty busheis 5,000 stalks. Sin
gle stalks perhaps yield most to the acre,dou
blc stalks are easiest attendee? and are to be
preferred where you design to make the crop
without the use ofthe hoe. Since Mr. Bel
lenger’s very valuable experiment on the dis
tances at which corn was most productive, I
have been observing mine more closely, and
find the single stalks disposed to shoot too
much —it is planted 5} by if} feet, and thin
ned in the rows, leaving every other stalk
double. Asa planter, 1 give the tribute of
! my thanks to that gentleman for the minute
mss and accuracy of his experiments, and
hope he will continue them, as on the estab
lishment of the fact of tiie proper number of
'stalks to be left on the acre, many thousand
bush. Is ol corn annually depend ; but agri
cultural facts are only tube relied on ; on tlio
concurring results of repeated experiments;
it may be safe to say 5 that close planting may
make the largest crop, but that wide plsnting
will give the surest. Alluvial lands liable to
he overflown by the freshets in the river, and
to the depredations of the bill-bug, should be
planted very early, and as much as half a bush
el dry lied in the acre. Your lands being all
planted and the corn up, the rich necks inav
be destroyed by the biii-bug, (a small black
bug as long as your nail and half its width*
with a proboscis half his length,) and the up
lands by tiie red headed worm and the cut cr
cabbage worm—the twrn former are hud-suck
ers and kill by perforating the stalk half an
inch above the root; it will come again when
cut off by the cutworm. The best remedy
(or the bill bug is to burn the roots of the
corn and the large weeds ot the preceeding
year, us it forms their winter establishment,
and plough up the land in the winter. Steeps
for tlio grain I have never tried, but think it
would only prevent the depredations of such
as preyed on the grain and not apply to sap
suckers.
' I'be first work to your corn should bo to
j stir it deep and close, so as to give it pulver-
I ised earth to) ush its first roots in- search of
j food, and this is well done by putting the liar
or left f ideot any mould board plough to it,
or by running a five inch slmvcl close. Asa
great deal ol corn, by so close an operation,
gets halt covered with dirt, all your smalt
hands should he close behind the ploughs un
der the superintcndance of some careful head
thinning the corn, relieving such asarecov
cred too much, and putting die soil with th
| fingers to such as the plough inay have escap
:od earthing. Each plough should go two
j cuts and do five acres aday, and two hands
! ought to keep up with one plough; the second
: ploughing may be done in the same way. The
| third should be by some plough that would
throw the earth on the stalk, and yet let the
j furrow be as far from it as possible, and it will
: require four cuts. The fourth ploughing
should be the “ laying by,” and where you
can use the hoe I would run three cuts in and
near tiie centre of the alleys, and throwing
with two of them earth to the corn, and tho
third furrow’s earth should be drawn up tire
hoes to the corn. I prefer a large bed as it
covers the guard roots, which from their
blunt ends push out the fine white roots that
help to fill the ears ; where they are not cov
ered, these roots do not push" out. Where
you have to make your corn without the use
of your hoc at all, you must at onco see that
every working with the plough must throw
the earth up to the corn high enough to cover
! the young grass that springs up between each
working. The only reason that makes it de
sirable to “lay by” with the hoe, is the fact
that corn is very liable to be injured by being
ploughed near to, when it is breast high or
w hen it hunches to tassel; and the reason
why it is liable to injury is, that it has not
time after that breaking of the roots by the
plough, to renew them in time to fill the ear;
it a fine rain immediately falls on corn too
late ploughed, it may prevent injury hv for
cing its roofs out again quickly. I have seen
"many fields injured by too near and too late
ploughing, and I have seen injured fields sav
ed by a timely shower. The critical season
with a crop of e.u 4 .., is wiien it is perfecting it:
grain'; at this time nil the beds aid alleys
sljpuld bo in fine order and well loosened with
the plough, that the gne roots which (he stall.
1 then pushes out to the distances of 10 and 12
, fet t, may be drawing in its the
order of the land and the rains at this time
depend the filling of tiie eorn-cr'-h. It is in
admissible after this to use the plough, and
dangerous even to give the light cut of the
hoe—the hoeing which the peas among t! e
corn may require, should be done after tho
j corn has readied the roasting ear or later. If
! on tho “ laying by” u itli the hoc all the earth

! therefore in suitable order for tiie passage of
j the film roots across them, I would, immedi
ately after the hoes, run two cuts with a colt's
foot harrow, so as to pulverize the alleys and
leave then, so ; or what is better, when your
corn is “laid by” if you have the time’andop-

1828, and shall more fully this year, it is in
• accordance with good theory, and l have but
little doubt will.succed in practice. I thin.,
it prudent to plough the two last times in the
same direction. V< here you do not use the
hoe in “laying by” that plough is best to lav
qy with, which throws the earth the greatest
distance, an iron wing, {about 14 or lp inch
es long, 5 or 6 wide and tapering upwards to
a point like a broad-sword) put at right angles
on the helve of a shovel, and behind the iron

tap, answers better than anv I have seen.—
The iron is bent a little back, sons to answer
for a mould board and is sharpened on the
lower edge, and that a little bent forward.
Corn will stand surprising drought till tho
bearing stage, when it. wants abundance of
rain; indeed,on rich lands, I think it bent
fitted by it, as there is a disposition in tho
plant in our warm climate to grow too large.
I think soil similar as to fertility will produce
