The Agriultural and Mecllilcal

to ensure its success. That previon

ures is undeniable, 'bn the cause lay'
both in the derpresidoti of the eountty

or, let us hope 'is also 4iminishing.
Nothing Will iid more to revive a
spirit of energy in developing our
material resoureo than a successful
exhibition of the pronts of the
State, and the bri*ging together of
agricultirists and mechanics from
differdut sectioAs.
While, however, thb maif object

Carolina Qollege96 id the atnual
sessioti of the Legislature exercised
a powerful inluetico in expapding the
views of the people. T Xhego influ

But they are 'not sufficient to com

The aaemnbling of the yonng peo..
ple, ebbolly,, froui theentii-e State,
at the annual Fair ia Columbia, is
a most important feature'; and any
means-th4g will laf tlfis, 'should be
employed.
For 'this reason we are inclined to
view with favor evert the miuch de

GERMAN MILLET.
How to PImt It, and What it YAelde.
evare. Editore
The following questions have boon
asked in' ydur paper concerning
German Millet: "What soil is re
-quired; how it is prepared; how the
planOng is done ; wha't should be
the averago yield in hay and seed
for an acre; and whether this crop
exhausts land more than other
'crops.
Having having had some little
experience in its production, I will
give theresult of my observation as
to its growth and culture. In the
lirst place, the soil should b either
new fresh loam, or it must be
ighliy ianured. It is needless to
expect a good crop of millot on
poor land. A good piece of land
having been secured, it should be
broken np with a two horse plough
and thoroughly ' pulverized. The
sed shoald then be sown on top of
the ground, at the rato of about one
bushel to the acre, and covered
lightly with brush or a harrow.
Millet may be planted from the
last of April to the first of August
with success, but I would pro'for the
earliest date for the surest crop.
An acre of land thoroughly pre,
pared before planting will yield
from three thousand to . five
thousand pounds of good hay and
from forty to seyenty-five bushels
of aced, but that is more than the
averago yield for inexperienced far
more, who do things in a hurry.
I do not. think that millet is
more than usually exhaustive 'of the
soil. A crop that grows with t
such luxuriance must necessarily
exhatist the soil to some extent, but
I think not more than corn or oats.
This, however, is 'a question I
have not thoroughly tested, and I
must therefoi-e leave it to those
whose experience may wvarrant a
more accurate opinion than I can
givo.
