TH l' US °P ositions for a Diversification
of Crops.
Jeff'
Dmtor Rural ooctherxeh :
The Rural Southerner, Southern Cul
tivator, Rural Carolinian, and Practi
cal Planter, especially in editorials, I
and through some at least, of their
correspondents, are not only advocat
ing but urging the Southern agricul
turalist to diversify his crops, both for
individual good and prosperity, as
well as to develop more fully anil
profitably the various resources of our
Sduthern climate and soil. 1 mention
these because I regularly read most of
theip. I suppose all the agricultural
journals south of the Potomac (and 1
tliinlc some north of that line,) are
advocating that policy. For the day
lias passed when a man is pronounced
a fool by would-be wise men, who
raises more supplies than is actually
needed tor his own consumption. The
time was, hut no longer is, when a
farmer is looked upon as insane, who
does not bend all of his energies of
every kind, to the neglect of every
thing else, to King Cotton. The sta
ple is no longer worth 25 to HO cents,
even in greenbacks. But he is fast
becoming the prudent, judicious, and
successful farmer, who raises a little
of almost everything conducive to
health and strength of man and bea.it,
and then as much cotton, on as few
acres, as he can.
The Plantation in a recent number,
says: this is a stock country, if the
right kind of stock arc raised. In
your April number, you made a good
start to give us information on the
stock question, by giving sketches and
illustrations of the different kind of
cuttle. But you omitted the little
Irish Kerry. The Emeralder thinks
he is unsurpassed. Won’t you con
tinue the good work, by giving us
sheep, nogs, and horses, in the same
way t And w ill not your correspond
ents give practical information as to
iidaptcdness to our wants from actual
observation and experience? Some
one, nmy-bo Col. Howard, says, where
Red Clover will grow, stock can he
raised, and parent helically asks the
pertinent: question “Where will it
not.” My experience satisfies me
anywhere, at, least, except in very
light land with hut little clay founda
tion, if one-half the attention be bc
\ stowed on it that cotton has had here
\jofore commanded ami secured.
\ Rut it strikes me, there is an inter,
Vnemute and prbpamtpvv step, lor a
wumial change,"to b_p "taken from one,
to a diversity if crop.-. From Cotton
to Clover, Crass, and Stock. We all
have a little land qow rich enough,
with wlia| home-made fertilizers wo
can make read y with the right kind of
preparation, for a rich return in clo
ver. But most, of it is rather thin
for its successful culture, It used to
be said the cow pea was the clover of
the South. In a great measure this is
true. But it w ill not, cannot compete
with the various clovers. But there
is a fine place for it, an intermediate
and preparatory step. With anything
like attention it is the cheapest crop I
in results wo raise. It is good food,
as pens or forage ; it is a fine fertili- 1
r.er, either turned in, led oil, or as a !
shade and inuleher, and then saved
for the pen or as forage.
Smile farmers say they have tried
three ways, ami are vuinhle te decide
which results in most good. The
shading from hotVun is eon-ideml,
and seems to be very beneficial. By
putting stubble or resting land in jieas,
in a few years the capacity of the
land for better crops will be greatly ,
increased, and in a few years clover
may h<; sown successfully, and then
brought up in the same
Now is the time to put in the pea
cron.,, far the sake of the pea itself or
t> forage, but may be sown much la
ter to he turned in green, just before
frost. In a few years the wheat crop
may be vastly increased, by following
it each time (same year) w ith peas, to
be turned in for next crop.
Vi ho will try the experiment, and
also that of driltfug peas, half cotton
row distance, and before frost, run an
opening furrow between, lime the pea
vines, and turn the two rows into the j
furrow between them, to he planted in
cotton next year, and report results ? I

On the Free Sowing of Grass.
Atlanta, Ga.. VI .ty 1871.
Mr. S. A. I'choir :—Dear Sir:—
you request me to write again on
Gras*. In the letter-;_. ;cd ‘'Atlanta."
published in the April number of your
paper, I contended that the free sow
ing of grass in the extensive country
between the wire-grass and clover ■■
regions would tend to produce rain : !
that the grasses would absorb tliefer-.
tiSizing elements from the air and im-!
jtart them to the earth : and that in j
that region there was an absence of!
elements essential to th health of j
vegetation, ahima! anti iiuman beings, j
and that a free cultivation of the
grasses would restore thorn.
Arguing from the same standpoints, 1
find drawing reasonable deductions 1
from tVve same premises, 1 also con-
THE CHATTOOGA ADVERTISER SUMMERVILLE. GA., -JUNE 15, 1871.
tend that the free sowing of the
grasses would lower the temperature
of the air and increase its humidity,
making itcoolcr, balmy andagreeable ;
and that it would equalize the tempera
ture, knocking off the rough corners
of both summer aud winter.
In speaking of sowing grasses be
tween the wire.grass and clover regions
I do nat wish to he understood as be
lieving they will not grow in the wire
grass country, for I think they will on
the lowlands, and on the uplands
where there is n clay foundation and
not too much sand.
In that letter I said I could not ac
count for the scarcity of rain in parts
of Texas and California, where there
was so much native grass. May it
not he that the conttant winds "pre
vailing there blow away tin- evapora
tion* so rapidly as to prevent the ex
istence ol that particular condition -of
the air neces-ary fur rain.
Now, sir, these views are novel, I
admit, and are either right or wrong.
If the latter, I would like to see7t
proved; and if the former, I would
like to see them universally acted up
on by the agricultural community, as
any one can see it would annually
place millions of dollars in their
pockets.
1 hat a change is w-ees-a. y, nil will
admit; that it. can be worse than the
present system, is almost impossible.
I have been trying to faamit for near
forty years. \\ hen 1 commenced,
everything was favorable and 1 did
very well and made a good support,
which is more than 1 can do now un
der the old system.
1 am now the daily recipient of the
benefits of the grasses, and can. v, ith
out doubt or hesitation recoin:nett 1
them to till; and those who w:1 so.v
them can commence numbering the
days of their prosperity from the time
they are a year old. ‘in speaking of
grasses, I mean blue-grass, clover,
herd-grass, orchard-gl ass arid timothy.
They have stood the test of time, and
received the approbation of the world.
We must raise our own subsistence.
By a free sowing of the grasses, every
one can have a bountiful supply of
rough food for all his animals, and a
plenty of green grass to graze on all
the seasons of the year, except July,
August and September, when wo do
not want them, their plrees being sup
plied by the native grasses, lie can
raise his own mules, horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs, almost without ex
pense, to supply his own wants and
to sell.
Under the old system we had to
work “from early morn till dewy eve,"
and from the first day of January to
the last day of December, every day,
every year, to make a scanty subsist
ence, without the ability to educate
i our children or provide reasonable
comforts for our families.
C otton is too heavily taxed. It is
taxed to fertilize the land, to buy
mules, meat, cattle, farming imple
ments, and nearly all the necessaries
of life. \\ e boast of our cotton and
call it king, yet it is not equal in Mil
ne to the grass crop of the United
States. It is a hard king. It keeps
its subjects poor and will not educate
them, by giving them the advantages
of schools, books, or travel. It makes
them go barefoot, in summer aud
poorly elrd and shod in winter, and
live i,i poor houses; and it is exhaust
| ing the fertility of our lands and en
! ricking other nations and sections at
j our expense ; and some of its subjects
i have commenced making a fuss about
! it- There is one ex-Governor in that
1 part of his dominions known as old
! Georgia, and one Dick Peters in the
j hilly country, who are crouching doe-
I trines and are guilty of practices in
(jurious to the prerogative, authority
j and dignity of his majesty ; and then
arc many other subjects* quite rebel
lious, and the feeling is so strong it
may end in a regulrr pronunciauieiito.
I rider present circumstances the price
of cotton --ill not hear the expense of
making it. The manufacturer takes
it at lus own price, and when manu
factured, he sells it back to us at nnv
price lie chooses to put upon it. In
oflect it is the same as if our lands, as
well as ourselves, belonged to him.—
lie makes u.- buy the lands ourselves
to raise cotton on for him, and pay
the tax, and then don't 1: If pav iis
for our labor, in the form of pretend-;
ing to buy our cotton. As Mr. Lin-1
coin would say: “this reminds me of j
an anecdote." A man met a negro
one day and asked him if he was a
good fisherman. The negro replied,
“Yes, tint 1 is, and asked the geinie
. man what he would give him to fish
| tor him. The gentleman replied,
“one halt of all the fish you catch, if
you furnish your ow n bait!'" We are
making cotton under some such ar
rangement, and though we furnish
our own bait, we don't get half the
fish ; and it has taken us longer to
find out we were not benefitted than it
did the negro to solve the inequality
| of the proposition to fish.
! lam not opposed to raising cotton,
i It must and should be largely raised
by us. It grows better here than any
where else. It is an accommodation
to the world for us to raise it; they
are obliged to us for it, and ir is to
our interest to make it, hut what l
contend for is, that we ought not to
depend altogether on cotton. That
we have a good grass and stock coun
try. and that every, farmer should
plant a considerable portion of his
land m grass, so as to be sure to raise
food enough for himself and all his
animals ; then, if the cotton fails, he
would not be materially hurl ; and if
] it brought a low price, lie would not
ihe compelled to sell. In i word, he
~ would be independent at home, and
could make a bountiful subsistence
within the limits of his own farm,
| while this poor country now trodden
under foot and bleeding from every
pore with poverty, injustice and op
pression, would rise again. This is
believed to he as good a grass and
stock country as any in the world, and
if we will adopt this system, it will
place us ori a level with the most fa-
J vored sections of the United States,
leaving cotton entirely out of view,
except that they start off rich and we
poor, h disadvantage we can soon rc
j cover from by a judicious raising of
j cotton, an article they cannot raise,
| and to raise which our capacity will
i nut be impaired'by raising the grasses
and stock, bqt will be improved, as it
will afford a clu*p means of enrich
j ing our lands without paying away
! the proceeds of our cotton for fertili
i i'/.ors.
My countrymen, will you listen ?
| Do you want to lift up your poor,
] down-trodden country and place it on
| a level with the most favored sections
iof the world ? Do you want to live
i abundantly and happily '< Do you
I want your country to look green and
fresh, new and beautiful as it did when
| we received it from the first settlers?
j Do you wish to open the doors of ed

Blackberry Wins.
The blackberry season will soon be
upon us, and wo would urge our rcad
! ors to make the most; of it. This do-
I lieious fruit is not the less valuable,
j ntrinsically, because it grows sponta
neously all over our country, and may
I lie had in profusion for the picking.
| Apart from the delicious pies, cordials,
! and marmalades, it yields a wine, with
: proper manipulation, superior to the
best claret that an he nought in our
market, and valuable for its medicinal
properties.
Mr. George HunViker, tof Bum tuft,
Mississippi. - last summer, made ten
i 1 mrrefiyjor*blfpkhoi rv wine, specimens
■of which ww have tasted, and must
| pronounce it a good, palatable and
wholesome article, superior in many
! respects to the wines of commerce i .
American markets.

How to Wash Lacs. —The first
thing to remember is that lace, and
all such line materials, should be
washed i,t hot, soft w ater. Well soap
: them, and squeeze and shak \ but on
ino account rub them. Repeat the
i squeezing and shaking out again until
they are clean, hot water ind well
soap them again, and put them into a
sauce pan, with enough hot wetter to
cover them. Soft water is the best,
but it that cannot be procured, add a
(dee of soda—say a quarter of an
ounce to a half a gallon of water.—
Boil for half an hour. Then wash
them out again ami rinse in cold, blue
water. Hang them on a clothes-horse
t'o dry, when they can he startehed.
Lastly, roll them up in a dry cloth
for t wo hours, by which time they w ill
be fit to iron.
