■ Asa proof that we know whereof
W( . write by proctieul experience and
labor, we give a notice found in
Philips' Southern Farmer of August
1871, the number containing the prize
fc-.i> :
■ The following letter, from Mr.
Fontaine, has just been received by
H G. Craig & Cos., in regard to the
MKower sent him for the Prize Essay,
wbi' h appears in this Issue:
B*'l am glad to be able to state ting
1 have mowed upwards of fifty acres
with the light running Champion
Mower, driving the team myself, and
hu vo put aside my ‘Buckeye’
as it so much heavier. I have not
lost a bolt, broken a section, nor had
tho blade sharpened once. It is the
best mower I have ever tried. I
would purchase it if I had not won
it bv the essay.”
As we have never experimented in
grass culture south of Atlanta, and
have never seen the experiment tried,
except, for msthetio pur[>oses in gar
dens and church yards, nothing writ-:
ten in this essay must be considered I
as applicable to Southern Georgia. '
We do not wish to mislead anyone,
and know that in any climate two
things are requisite for successful
gra,-' culture: First it is necessary
to have cash in hand, so us to enable
bone to wait two years before getting
jfcny return from the outlay: and see-
P>ud the quantity of grass sown
must depend on the nearness of the j
market, and. tho demand for hay. ;
The grasses to be sown depend first'
on tho climate and soil, then upon i
the plan of husbandry, whether stock
raising or hay'making.
Comparatively few planters in the
South appreciate the value of grass!
asa cultivated crop. "He is a public
benefactor who makes two blades of
gra - grow where only one grew be
fore From antiquity to this day
thi has been an axiom, and grass
culture ha sbeen the index of progres
sive agriculture; it is alwaysthecon
temporary of profitable husbandry.
Whether "on land that lias been cul
tivated for a thousand years, as in
Europe, or in America upon virgin
soils, tlie highest prices paid for land
as well as the greatest net produet!
perucre and the maximum result of
the labor of one man, occurs where!
grass culture is the special pursuit, j
This is true, because every acre of ;
good bottom land, convenient of ae
eess and near a local market, well
"set.” in perennial grass or clover, is
. intrinsically worth 8100 to the Soutli
iern planter! Further, those parts of
any State where buy and Jiasture
■Tope have stqiereedea tilluge crops,
bung much higher prises per acre
When sold. This is notably truo in
York; it is bound to be true iu j
ft. South. Texas would not be so;
sjterous if grass did not, like a
magnet, attract. European emi
grants know the valuo of an acre of
grass or clover. Texas, though the
Beef market of New England and the
North, and blessed with natural
Bastorage broad as the prairies, does
not know the value of hay grasses. A !
denser population uud better means
bf transportation will introduce them.
Grass culture induces the intensive
lather than the r-xtemivr. system of
tillage; it inevitably curtails the;
area of hood crops. Herein lies its ,
prst value to us. Slavery rendered
’Cotton culture general and almost j
exclusive, primarily, owing to the
adaptability of the negro race to cul
tivate a crop regular in character,
simple in details and exacting all his
time throughout tho year. Hence,
though cotton was never as remuner
ative as the crops raised in t tie North
fcer "head,” yet grass culture was
peglected. Instead of being nurtur
(ed, the entire laboring force of tie’
SSouth bent Its energies to extirpate
Sour native grasses. Tillage is an art
into nearly a science, but |
[excessive tillage has been the bane of!
perhaps fifty per cent, of tho cleared
lands in tlie South. Tho emigrant
from Europe, when ho reaches Texas,
rarely becomes a cotton planter.
The negro is a poor laborer on a grass
farm. Grass requires watchful care
and rapid execution in all its stages.
Even the planter must summon reso
lution enough to keep stock from it
for a year, and, if intended for hay, it
is better that no pasturage bo allow
ed. He must wait ttiree years for
Lucerne to mature, as he must wait
seven years for his pour orchard. A
ileeliug of permanence must actuate I
mim before he can expect to reap the j
Hull value of an investment in grass
culture. If he possesses these requis
ites and will rigidly adhere to them, |
mo crop will equal grass in abundance,!
jv.ilue or ease in its manufacture if!
wiiis word can bo employed in this
■sense. The materials of its manufao
ftnre are water, nitrogen-giving air, a
(calcareous soil, a clean fallow, and
jtiulvorized surface. Our cotton crop
[is a clean fallow, and should he to us
iwhat turnips are to the English far
mer.
i The experience of the writer, who
[has planted somewhat extensively in
[lower Georgia and new pursues mix
fed husbandry, including cotton, in
Kipper Georgia, is that our efforts
should be limited to the following
forage and pasture plants: The pea,
lied clover, Timothy, Herds, Orchard,
native grasses and Lucerne, for hay;
Blue grass. White clover, Bed clover,
Orchard and Bermuda grasses, to
gether with cane and native grasses,
for pasturage. The millets, oats. ;
barley and rye may be added.
RED CLOVER
stands first in importance to South
ern farmers. Perennial in its nature,
it combines more virtues and is des
tined to effect a greater revolution in
Southern agriculture than any other
plant. It is a tap-rooting plant.
Gathering its nitrogen from the
air and sending its tap-roots far
down into the store-house of nature,
it is a wonderful fertilizer. "It en
riches the land in proportion to the
yield ; the heavier the crop the great
er the benefit, the soil being improv
ed mechanically as well as enriched.”
To the South it will be a boon of
inestimable value. Our hot sun, often
accompanied by drought in summer,
renders the corn crop precarious;
and the excess of ram in Spring,
which so frequently injures material
ly the wheat aud oat crops, furuish
the very nutriment for Red clover and
the grasses at the time when they
most need it. We think that clover cart ,
only be grown upon a large scale 1
profitably in the South on those soils i j
which can be successfully grown i .
without manure. Upon these cal-! !
careous lime soils of the mountainous j
parts of the Southern States, it is i,
probably our most remunerative!
crop. We have sown it as early as !
the 10th of February, and as late as;
April, with perfect success. If sown
in the Fall it is liable to be winter
killed. We have sown clover and
timothy mixed in October; the Tim
othy survived the hardest freezes, I
while the clover was killed. In New!
York it ("clover; is sown in April, and I
the heat of mid-summer sun iu New ,
York is greater than in Georgia.!
Gypsum is generally beneficial, hut:
sometimes not needed by our soils.
I he whole of an acre in clover would j
afford, by incineration, only threo or
'four bushels gypsum. Hence tho
[j benefit of a small application of gyp.
[! sum. Our best bottom lauds ofien
make two tons to the acre at one out
; ting. The average price in Atlanta in
the Spring is $;l() per ton. The reader
Should not bo misled by this state
ment. A ton of green clover will
weigh in the following Spring very
much less perhaps it will lose one
half its weight. Nevertheless, we are
safe in snyiug that such laud will
yield two tons of dry hay per acre
from two cuttings. The second crop
is not so well suited for horses, but is
excellent for meat stock. The value
of an acre of clover located near a
market in Georgia is about S4O por
annum. Lands worth S2OO per acre
near St. Louis, often rent for from
$lO to sls peraere per annum. Clover
aud grass will pay better u. e. t yield
more money per acre) ou land in
Georgia worth S2O per acre, than
they will in Missouri ou land worth
ten times as much.
