DLPaRTJIEN'T of agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 1, 1837.
January lias given ns more than its
usual average of bright days, aud all
through the state preparations for an¬
other year’s crops are going on apace.
This, with the fail plowing of which a
good deal was accomplished, gives us a
very fair start, and should February
prove a very rainy month, we will pos¬
sess onr souls in patience. NVe are very
far behind in the annual rainfall, and
it were better perhaps to have it m—e
up in this month, than later on, when
the young crops might be retarded in
their growth, if not seriously injured
by heavy spring floods.
PREPARATION.
The work of preparation should go on
steadily whenever the weather permits,
remembering that the land intended for
corn should be thoroughly and deeply
broken. Corn is more sensitive to
drouth than most of our cultivated
crops, aud needs a deep and mellow
seedbed. "When planting time comes if
this breaking has been done some time
previous, it may become necessary to
harrow - the land before putting in the
seed, but the additional labor is fully
returned in benefit to the crop. Corn,
unlike cotton, is made iu a few weeks,
and after deep breaking and proper ma¬
nuring, w - e must depend on repeated
surface stirring to conserve moisture,
keep down weeds, airate the soil, aud
thns promote, the perfect development
of the crop. In preparing land for any
crop w - e should be guided by the char¬
acter of the soil aud its present condi¬
tion, as well as the previous crops
planted on it, aud their cultivation. If
the soil be deep, we may put the plows
in deep and turn each furrow, leaving
n mellow bed for planting time. But if
the soil be shallow aud the subsoil near
the surface this plan will not answer.
If the turning plow is used, it should go
just deep enough to bring a little of tlia
subsoil to the surface, aud the furrows
be left on edge, as it were, in order that
the small amount of available plant food
may not be buried out. of reach of the
young plant roots. We have always
found, however, that on such lauds a bet
ter plan is to use a long, narrow straight
plow - , running the furrows close to
gather, which will break the subsoil
without bringing it to the surface aud
leave the top soil in good condition.
Another important point in preparing
for our crops, is that we return to the
land as far as pos-ible every particle of
vegetable matter left on the surface
from the previous year. The crying
need of our lands is humus, aud when
there is a heavy growth of weeds,
broomsedge, cotton or corn stalks or
any other numns making material on the
land, it should not be burnt off before
the plows, but every effort should be
made to break it down and put it in
condition to be turned utider when the
plowing is done. For this purpose se¬
lect a cold morning and drag a har¬
row over the laud iu every direction.
With the exception of corn stalks this
will break down all the growth. In re¬
ply to an inquiry in another column in
regard fo the value of these corn stalks,
winch aro usually left standing in the
fieid, wa have endeavored to show how
much valuable feeding material is
thrown away each year by this waste¬
ful practice. The average farmer re¬
gards these standing stalks as so much
waste material, which is to be removed
as thoroughly as possible—and burning
is the usual method of getting rid of
them. If cut down and turned under
whole, they are a meuace to the proper
preparation and after cultivation of the
land; the practice of cutting in shorter
lengths by hand and then turning un¬
der is considered a loss of time aud la¬
bor, and every farmer, who lias tried
the plan, knows that if they are hauled
to the stable aud put in the stalls, iu
the hope of adding to the manure heap,
they aro a constant source of auuoyauce
and worry., It does seem strange that
this portion of the corn crop, which
contains such a large per cent of
the nutritive value of that crop, should
be regarded as a nuisance, and be
annually and literally thrown into the
fire. We are doing ail in our power to
check the further progress of a mistake
which is each year losing us thousands
of tons of healthful and nutritious for
age. Once the farmers fnliv realize the
truth, they cannot be induced to leave

cottonseed is to be used as a manure,

gree that cause a loss of its ele
