As the preparation of the land, ap! plication of fertilizers and planting of either is the same, many farmers, from smallncss of yield and low price of Hour, have discontinued the sowing of wheat; but the oat crop being cheaper to make with hired labor than corn as a feed for the animals, is planted more largely than formerly. I-will there-j fore give my experience as to -the best course to adopt in planting and fertilizing for a good yield. Cotton beinar the" money crop, the best uplands are generally selected for making it, and that too* poor for a j good yield often planted in oats, which lis an unwise policy. Believing in j cotton seed as a "fertilizer, applied in | the fall as early as September or Oc1 tober, for the development of stalk | and grain the following spring would ! be exhausted previously, indnced me | to seek information to corroborate it, | consequently I wrote to my friend, the I late Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, some few | years since, who replied, he never used i cotton seed as a fertilizer at any time, but planted in early fall and at sonic ,time daring the following February or first of March had sown over them a good amoniated fertilizer and harrowed, as they required at that time surface culture and manure for the growth of stalk and development of grain, which was always followed by a good result. I think the best plan to adopt with fall oats is to apply about half the cotton seed intended to be used as a winter fertilizer to establish the roots well in the earth by IS ; /V'V'' isfl ?\ v L \ | StoiiStBEbtit' ' .
