WHS AT.
Editor Southkrn Cultivator.?Will '
Bermuda grass grow on very light sandy 1
land, that will not uiakc more than three or <
four bushels of corn per acre ? Where can ]
I get enough to start with ? I have somo <
fifteen acres of such land. Even broom- 1
sedge does not grow well on it. I would i
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 iu
general furni crops. I have raised chufas this
year, and find them very prolific on sandy
land. tAui satisfied that land that will mukc
.teu bushels of corn, will make from 75 to
100 bushels of chufas per acre; and the
chufa seems to be worth about the same as
corn, bushel for bushel, that is, in connection
with peas aud sweet potatoes.
I would recommend startiug hogs on chufas,
say the first or teuth of September;
and keep on chufus alone, say fifteen or
twenty days, then let them have potatoes
and chufus, or potatoes, pens aud chufas.?
Do uot plant too many ehufas in connection
with peas and potatoes, ns hogs will cut the
chufas in preference to any thing, except
0nru, aud seem to be about as foud of the
chufa us corn.
Tho above is my plau of raising pork ; that
is, let them run at random, say nine or ten
weeks, then put them in lots and feed on
cooked potatoes and corn, say one-half potatoes
and the other half coru, for three or
weeks, which makes very good pork. Managiug
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 tho Northwest, and keep
our money at home, which is very important
at this time.
I also raise wheat, which is very easily
donc by using Peruvian Guannpc guano.?
I raised this year, on very poor laud, ten
bushels per acre, by applying 140 lbs. guannpc
per acre. This guano seems to be u
perfect manure for wheat in this section of
country. The laud, after bciug in wheat,
is left in better condition thau if it had
rested. H. M. JOHNSON.
Bermuda grass will grow on any kiud of
land, but on very poor, such as you describe,
will make a correspondingly poor growth.
It is regarded, aud justly so, as an improver
of land, especially that which is rolling, be
cause it stops washes aud retains ull small
pieces of vegetable matter which arc ordiuariiy
floated oil during rains. But you
could not resonubly expect much pasturage
l'rom it on your poor laud?more, however,
thau from broomsedge. It is very widespread
through middle Georgia, but wc
know of no one who makes a business of
sclliug it. Whether wo can make pork as
cheap as they do iu the Northwest is perhaps
an opeu question, but one thing is
quite certain, we can raise it at much cheaper
rates thau it is bought at present with cutton
money.?Ei>. So. Cult.
COTTON SEED*TO AN ACBE. ?
Editor Southern Cultivator.?During
the year past, in a number of the Cultivator,
you advised using from thirty (30)
to ouc hundred bushels of cottou seed toau
acre of corn.
Will you listen to a subscriber who cudeavorcd
to carry out your directions to the
letter, and hear the result ? On medium
land used 30 bushels per acre. Corn grew
off finely?made a large stalk?good ear.
Next, used 50 bushels per rcrc on land
some better than where .1 used 30.?
Corn grew off well'?made no more than
the poorer land.
In the fall concluded to sow in oats b?th
1? II *
ueius, and, in pulling up corn stalls whcro
the 30 busliels were used, found about one- ,
third or one-half the seed unappropriated?
the seed clinging to the old stall or in the
soil immediately around it. Coucluded to
try the field where 50 bushels were put.? 1
llesult the same?only a larger cluster of
seed still remaining. We thcu went to a
five acre patch where ouly 15 bushes per
acre were used?pulling up the stalk, found
none left. Land as poor as any planted?
made as good, if not better, corn with half 1
the manure. We came to this conclusion,
20 bushels of cotton seed, crushed, plenty
to manure an acre of land Jbr corn. More <
can be put on w'hen the land belongs to the
farmer, but is a clear loss to tho renter.? ,
Seasons during the year as good as could i
be wiohed for. Cultivation clean and rapid.
Frst ploughing used a scooter?aftorwards
a sweep. Cotton seed dropped by
haud; corn dropped on seed.
Made a most excellent crop of oata.?
Sowed tho Bennett oat. They will grow
tall enough on any kind of land to be easily i
cut. Hust Proof oats will not, and are easily
killed in winter. One year with in- ,
other the Bennett oats will pay a better
profit. S. C.
Newton county, Ga., Dec. 25, 1876.
Your experience docs not accord with
oura?nor that of many others which have
been published. We hare applied as much
aa 70 bushels of cotton seed per acre to
corn oo 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-o long time to rot.?
Within a few days past we found some of
the hulls still whole, and apparently little
changed, (the kernel gone) which had becu rj
buried in the soil last June.
If, however, your conclusions arc correct,
? I *, ? M III L- ~
it would be bad policy to apply largo quantities
of ooiton seed, for apothor important
reason : The chief v%l^e nlNieod as manare
arises from its ammonia producing capacity,
and of producing it in a comparatively
short time. Now, ammonia applied
to tho soil, if not appropriated quickly by
growing crops, is liable to be changed into
Nitrates and leached out of the soil, so that
neither tenant nor landlord can get the benefit
of it. All are familiar with the fact
that cotton seed is not a permauent manure;
its grcrtcst power being exerted the first
year after its application.?Ed. So. Cult.
