ainaally destroyed tte siamanta plaoad
thereby nature far tte production of the
richest soil. Theta is no tree that aheda
m aaoch foliage so the plna, and yet It is
•ear groan. I often think as I pass
tltptgh tte ptna forest, of Itias London’s
ksanttfnl apostrophe to the pins tree t
»BaU ap joar kaudo, ye forest pines,
yrarsprsadly la Uw brsaaa«
Oar mbs boards, and cradle bands,
Ate made ttm took aa these.”
Sad I Mies London's gift of poesy, I
woald mate tte pins say, he-woold still
Uj to hold ap Us bead and furnish ooffloe
Md cradle*, hot that ha had bean trying
all hie life to famish food, tteoogb his
leaves; and that man waa snob a
fool, that he bad ratter have cotta* than
bread. Bot aa I have no poesy in my
■on), I will say nothing about it. I know
from tte experiments of nanny anooaaalvs
years, that tbs plna leaf is a moat valuable
fertiliser. I have teolad it from the
woods on to my ooltlvatod lands, have
Ailed gnllisa end stopped wastes with it.
I nse annoally some fifty loads of pine
straw on my Irish potatoes, oorering
them when planted, sown two
fast deep. I o hangs this bed
once in four or five years; and tte
ground where the potatoes wars grown,
enriched by pins strew, will prodoos any
thing. I have never assn snob ootton
tad oorn as I have grown on the patches
•bars I mads tte potatoes And jnst
look! What a country wa woald have
had all aronad as if fin had not destroyed
nature's fertilisers. Mow, aas the con
trast. Piaay woods, a term of nproaoh.
Baa tte groveling fanner trying to make
his burnt soil bring Him five bnahels of
com to tha son; or, if ha can gat a bale
of cotton from five acres, ha will do well.
But perhaps te a V be able, by selling
hla ohloksns and eggs, to raise a little
gsano. This is a fair piotnrs of piney
woods Ufa and farming; when it should
have teen ths riehest and most fertile
land ip tte) country, prodaoing thirty
bushels of oora and a bale of ootton to
tbs acre. Farmers, husband your pine
straw, and look upon him an an incendia
ry who wantonly or foolishly fires tte
pins forests Tate tte pins tree all and
all, it la tte most useful trae grown in
oor section. It not only makes oar cradles
and ooffloe, bnt oor dwelling* and ships,
sad its jniesa era indispensable aids to
human wants in the form of tar, pitoh,
rosin and turpentine; and its despised
and unappreciated leaf would make a
soil, if wa would let it, that would make
th* pin# regions ths most produotive
teds in tbs oountry. Below I give the
analysis of pine straw copied from the
May number of tte Mural Carolinian.
