INQUIRY ?CIIUFA3. BAI3INO PORK? WHEAT. Editor South kun Cultivator.?Will Hcrniuda grass grow on very light sandy land. that will not make uiorc than three or four bushels of corn per acre ? Where can I get euougli to start with ? I have soma fifteen acres of such laud. Eveu broouisedge does not grow well on it. I would be glad to make the land in question profitable as a pasture for sheep aud calves. It grows peas tolerably well, but is so light that corn will burn almost up in dry weather; in fact, it is not worth cultivating in general farm crops. I have raised chufas this year, and fiud them very prolific 011 sandy laud. .Aui satisfied that land that will make .ten bushels of corn, will make from 75 to 100 bushels of chufas per acre; and the chufu seems to bo worth about the name as com. bushel for bushel, that is, in connection with peas and sweet potatoes. I would recommend starting hogs ou chufas, say the first or tenth of September; and keep ou chufas alone, say fil'toeu or tweuty days, then let them have potatoes and chufas, or potatoes, peas and chufas.? Do not plant too many chufas iu connection with peas aud potatoes, as hogs will cat the chufas iu preference to any thing, except ?>rn, and seem to be about as fond of the chufu us corn. The above is my plau of raising pork ; that is, let them run at ruudotn, say nine or ten weeks, theu put them in lots and feed on cooked potatoes and corn, say one-half potatoes aud the other half corn, for three or weeks, which makes very good pork. Managing thus, 1 have enough chufas left to keep out hogs, say two mouths during wiutcr. There is uo reason why we can't raise pork as cheap as the Northwest, and keep our mouey at home, which is very imp- r itiuv Ub lino 11IIIVJ. I also raise wheat, which is very easily done by using Peruvian Guauapc guauo.? I raised this year, on very poor land, ten bushels per acre, by applying 140 lbs. guauapc per acre. This guauo seems to be a perfect manure for wheat in this section of country. The land, after being in wheat, is left in better condition than if it had rested. II. M. JOHNSON. Bermuda grass will grow on any kind of land, but on very poor, such as you describe, will make a correspondingly poor growth. It is regarded, and justly so, as an improver of land, especially that which is rolling, because it stops washes and retains all small pieces of vegetable matter which are ordinariiy floated off during raius. But you could not resonably expect much pasturage from it on your poor laud?more, however, than from broouisedge. It is very widespread through middle Georgia, but wc know of no one who makes a business of selliug it. Whether wo can make pork as cheap as they do in the Northwest is perhaps an open question, but oue thing is quite certain, we can raise it at much cheaper rates than it is bought at. present with cotton money.?En. So. Cult. COTTON SEED*TO AN ACBE. ? Editor Southern Cultivator.?During the year past, in a number of the Cul tivator, you advised using from thirty (3U) to one hundred bushels of cottou seed toau acre of corn. Will you listen to a subscriber who endeavored to carry out your directions to the letter, and hear the result'( On medium land used Ml) bushels per acre. Corn grew off finely?made a large stalk?good ear. Next, used 50 bushels per rcrc on land souie better than whero I used 30.? Corn grew off well'?made no more than the poorer land. Iu the fall concluded to sow in oats both fields, and, iu pulling up corn stalks where the 30 bushels were used, found about one- r third or one-half the seed unappropriated? the seed clinging to the old stalk or iu the soil immediately around it. Concluded to try the field where 50 bushels were put.? ' Ilesult the same?only a larger cluster of seed still rcmuiuiug. We theu went to a five acre patch where only 15 bushes per acre were used?pulling up the stalk, found none left. Laud as poor as any planted? made as good, if not better, corn with half I the inauurc. Wc came to this conclusion, 20 bushels of cottou seed, crushed, plenty to manure an acre of laud fur coru. More < can be put on when the land belongs to the farmer, but is a clear loss to the renter.? , Seasons during the year as good as could > be wished for. Cultivation clean and rapid. Frst ploughing used a scooter?afterwards a sweep. Cottou seed dropped by hand j corn dropped on seed. Made a most excellent crop of oats.? Sowed the Bennett oat. Thev will on.w / O" " " tall enough on any kind of land to be easily 1 cut. Kust l'roof oats will nut, and are easily killed in winter. One year with : u- , other the Beuuctt oats will pay a better profit. S. C. Newton county, (Ja., Doc. 25, 1876. Your experience dues not accord with ours?nor that of many others which have been published. We haveapplied as much as 70 bushels of cotton seed per acre to corn ou bottom lands, and with most satisfactory results. One is quite liable to be deceived about the appropriation of the seed by the corn, inasmuch as the woody hulls of the seed take-a long tiuio to rot.? Within a few days past wc found some of the hulls still whole, and apparently little changed, (the kernel gone) which had been buried in the boil last June. If, however, your conclusions are correct, ' AiJJL1A? -i i- Jje. '.mjLyjLyi r *r g ? it would be bad policy to apply largo quantities of cotton seed, for auother important reasou : The chief value of seed as manure arises from its ammonia producing capacity, and o: producing it in a comparatively short time. Now, ammonia applied to the soil, if not appropriated quickly by growing crops, is liuble to be changed into Nitrates and leached out of the soil, so that neither tenant nor landlord can get the benefit of it. All arc familiar with the fact that cotton seed is not a permanent manure; its grertcst power beiug exerted the first year after its application.?Ed. So. Cult. THE HAMPTON STORE. NEW~STOCK RECEIVED.
