Marietta, March 13, 177. ly * JUjUicultutal. f Communicated. l 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-* tl.od practised by Georgia poin ters is to plow/ and cross-wough the sod in early f\iU pjr JzjpG-r (very shallow), then '■> the r ot-, a- muSHS po-.-.’ ;• ‘o freezing, at tin. either o! th^3slP ‘•r .iiiriJt - - !t (t . ■gag§jß|l or plant in iato corn and eulaMtP’; •‘’erne have succeeded in maffll very fine crops of cotton the following the fall ploughinJjjyfl* out tin* intervention of '• grain crop.— Fx.
