Plain Talk.
To the Field and Fireside :
“ Plain Talk” in a recent com
munication addressed himself to
those with whom lie is in full
sympathy.
His first aim was to speak words
of encouragement to every one
who has a purpose to realize, from
the Earth tilth, an abundance and
more, which shall serve to furnish
the needed supply for the wants
of himself and family. I said to
every one who has a purpose, by
which 1 mean that certain speci
fied deigns when entertained shall
be accompllshad or somebody
will have a broken back as the
result of the effort.
If I may give utterance to a be
lief induced from observation, I
should say thatNl very large ma
jority of planters rest easy while
they see the motions are being
made, which tradition has told us
was necessary if we would have
a big crop. But a primary con
sideration, admitting that we pos
sess the will and strength to act,
J suggests the inquiry, is this land,
in its present condition suitable ?
From former experience does it
| posses the qualities which reason
; ably promise a satisfactory rc
! turn for labor expended ?
All our success will depend
upon the interpretation we put
upon this experience. No tradi
tion, no hearsay experience of
another will answer the enquiry.
Posiive personal knowledge is re
quired to warrant a hopeful pros
ecution of our purpose. Farming
is not an ideal destiny. There is
but little poetry, very little in
following a three abreast mule
team behind a No. 20 chilled plow
running to the beam, bringing to
the light air and frost, earth which
has been hidden fora I,oooyears,
but which will now serve as a
matrix under the fructifying in
fluence of the elements in which
we may plant in confidence and
harvest in abundance, realizing
that—by a bountiful yield, we
have been rewarded for our la
bor, and not until then, do we feel
that our purposes have been well
directed and assured that we may
hereafter rely upon the fulfil
ment of our hopes. There is noth-
i ing more certain than that if we
I would achieve a success, we must
bring a cheerful will, good com
i mon sense, and a strong aim to
|do battle against resisting cir
i cumstances, and conquer, througli
, law. the fundamental force which
I invites our confidence and die
i lates all our movements.
Do we inqire what law ( Do
| not let ns forget that eath of us
i should be a law unto ourselves,
j and, if we so will, we may exer
j cise a spirit, a conquering energy
j which will make iis masters of
: our career.
Let us for a minute leave the
| cotton and corn fields and potato
patch, and consider if you may
not be the gainers by the culture
of the mental man.
It is said, and we believe it is
true, that the universe is made up
of a unity of forces, convertible in ,
to each other, preceding from it
self, never having had a begin- j
ning, therefore can never have
an end ; necessarily then, each
of us must constitute an infinitisi
rnal part of the universal whole
and possess an inherent right to
govern ourself in accordance
with what we beleive to be for.
our individual good.
Now, we will back to that
fundamental law, inherent in
matter, an observance of which j
will be n oompenced in pro pot j
tiori to our familiar acquaintance ]
with its demands. Here the rea- •
son becomes manifest why we j
should plow deep or shallow, why
corn or cotton in this field or an
other. All plants eat as well as
animals, and the assimulation of
food in both are governed by the
same physiological laws. To com
prehend the apparent work done
through this assimilative process
becomes the subject of thought,
and it will be well for us not to
forget how much truth there is in
the ancient adage that “like be
gets like,thought begets thought*’
so on through all the intricate
changes in mind and matter, then
let us be encouraged iu learning
more of nature’s secrets that we
may approach nearer and nearer
to the infinite source ©fall know
ledge and through the medium
of that approach we shall be en
aided to make our bushels many
and full. Plain Talk.
Bermuda Grass in High Favor.
The once despised and much
dreaded Bermuda grass is rapid
ly growing into universal favor,
not only for slaying washifig gul
lies and holding together levees
and embankments with its long,
creeping roots, but as a pasture.
On the sandy hills of Virginia
and North and South Carolina,
in Georgia. Louisiana, Texas, ami
iu fact the South generally, it
has gradually come to he regard
ed as a reliance for pasture.
Its valuable qualities are sum
med up in its easy propagation,
its hardiness, its exceeding nu
trition whether green or cured,
its retentiveness, which a ! pts it
to sliding hill sides, and ti- reno
vation of worn-out soils. In re
gard to this last, Pendleton, in
“Scientific Agriculture,” says
that Bermuda grass is beyond all
question the grass to renovate
the worn out hilly lands of the
cotton (States. Wherever Ber
muda grass fields have been cul
tivated and the grass properly
subjected, the product has been
remarkable, owing, no doubt,
mainly t 4 the increase of nitro
gen. While the Bermuda is not
a winter grass, yet in mild win
ters of the South it affords a lux
uriant pasturage properly man
aged. The field or lot intended
for winter use should not he
touched during the year uutil the
frost comes and kills the tops.—
Then the cattle might browse
upon it, and lastly the sheep,
with their narrow mouths, would
eat into the very ground the
green steins which have been pro
tected by the thick coating of
grass.
By sowing the sod in winter
growing grains or grasses, a field
of Bermuda will afford almost a
perennial pasture. Several Geor
gia correspondents are reported
in the September crop report for
the State of Georgia as staling
that oats, rye or barley may be
successfully sown on fhe sod and
either grazed during winter or
the grain be harvested in spring.
One correspondent has succeeded
with California clover, another
I with white clover sown in the fa>l.
The best time and manner o/
setting land in Bermuda accord
ing to the majority of these sane
! correspondents, is planting in the
month of March or April, prepar
| ing the land as for corn and drop
1 ping the roots at convenient dis
| tances and covering with the foot
! or with one furrow. Some advise
jto collect the roots, free them
, from earth, cut them with a straw
1 cutter, sow broad cast and plough
in. The planting may be done
successfully at any time during
the spring and summer, if not fol
lowed by too dry weather.
An important question submit
ted to Ihe Georgia farmers for an
swer bv Commissioner Janes was
‘•Can Bermuda grass,once estab
lished, be exterminated or sub
dued, so as to admit of cultivat- i
ing the Jaml in other crops The
reply in regard to its externiiua- i
tion came in the affirmative when
Bermuda is grown on ordinary
dry uplands; in rich, low i atoms,!
however, it ij generally coi. -ider
ed difficult, if not itnpr ticubfe,
to subdue it. 'Die c£t,Giy;try me-*
