Agricutural. From the Transactions of the N. Y. Ag rictittral Society. AG-RlCULTURE OF SOUTH CAR O-1INA. SY Hoit J. R. POiNSETT. TnE HNoMESTEAD, On SaludaRiver, near Greentiille S C.. *September,.184 Dear Sir :-On recurring to the very comprehensive inguiries embraced in your circularof March last,'Ifind, by retauiing it so long without .reply, that I have as - uied a task which my lini:ed kunowl . edge and experience will scarcely eitale Ine-o perform in a shtislactory manner. This reflection, 1 acknowledge, comes :too late, and- I will endeavor to describe the agricultural condition of South Car olina by the aid of such information as I ipossess, and that collected from authorittes worthy of credit. For many years after the settlemen't o -'this State. indigo evas the only agricultural product raised for a foreign market te the - rich alluvial lands-of thomiddle and low 'er country. and tobacco in. the interior above tide water, and as far withint the 'granite region as the cuuctr was settled. . The first great changein the agriculture of South Carolina was made by the intro . duction of rice, which was first cultivated on an extensive scane about the commence ni-nt of the eighteenth century. In the very interesting memoir of R. F. W. Allston, Esq., on the introduction and cultivation of rice in South Carolina, published in Chirleston, in 1843, it. is eta led that "at first rice was cultivated on the high land,. and on little spats of low -ground as they were met with here and S'there. These low grounds being found to agree be.tter with the plant, the inland swan ps were -cleared for the purpose of extending -the culture. In the 'process of time, as the fields became so grassy and stubborn, they were abandoned- for new clearings; and so on until at length was discovered the superior adaption of the tide'lands, and the great facilities for irri gation afforded by their -location. For these the inla.d plantations were gradual ly and slowly abandoned, and that great body of land which little more than a cen tury ago furnished for exportation over 50,000 barrels of rice, nor: lies otterly waste, constituting, where trees have not overgrown it, the finest natural pasture which could be desired." It is much to be regretted that those fine meadow lands should retnain unre claimed, for they night be rendered h bighly productive with very little outlay, if cultivated iu lucerne or clover, rye grass, and timothy. Once drain'd and well set in grass, even the comtnu crab grass of the countr), these lands would yield from one to two tons of good hay, which is never worth less in Charleston than from fifteen to twenty dollars the tor When the small amount of labor necessa ry to produce this result is considered and compared with that required to prepare, sow and tend the land for a rice crop, and to prepare the gratn for market, it will be found that the culture of te grasses might be introduced with advantage-not only on the abandoned meadow lauds of the in. laud swamps, but as a profiable altera tion of those situated on tide water it will appteair searcely crediiable, ttt coun tries where the true printciples5 of husband - ry are understood, and latnds atre kept in beanL by a rotatiotn of'erops, that on tutany of the tide swamp platations the s.0i1 has been cultivated every year in rice for- a century piast, nAithtout rest and without chatnge; and such ts the practice otn all the rice latnds ini Southt Carolitna. And yet utnier this extraorda'uary course thtey yteld from forty-live to stxty busnels of graitn to the acre. ow ing to tite tastural stretugto and lertriity of tte soil, and thte tree use ol. water. As the didleretnt mtethiods of cul tivaniug tice are probably knowna lo very few of the niorihertn larmlers, as t ts 'a subject of curious interest t-o thzose who are engaged in agricultU~'il pursuita, 1 i'ih endeavor to explaitl themz as briefly ias possible. -The broadl uargmos of alluvial soil which iborder the rtvers int the tow country of' South Crulitiui, are totted lfor the culture of rico teatrl~y as h1g64 as thle tiies flow' up thetm. These miargius, wuen urelantned, are heavily itmbsaed n"utt the decid ions ey press, t olt, andt othtet trees which delhght in a thutnd sI, for in ordinary ,easotts their roots is covy ered with water, at each retutn of tie tide, and durtng thte freslh'is Si lrequemt onothese rivers, which retmaim so lutr days and weeks together. T1hes' ei tciottotm lands are cleared and surrounded b) ant embauninenlt o1 earth,- winch ts lurotihed - with a sulicienit njutmber of trunk~s, a very -simple and itngetntous cotntrivaince, an swering the purpose of flood gates, alter nately to admit atnd to drait nit tue n ater with the flow and ebb of toe tide. Aitout - twelve feet withita its emnbankmieml, runs a broad ditcht witclh extentds aroutnd 'he field, and receittes the water Iromt the smaller ditches ttaat intersect the land at distances varyinig Iromn thitrty to lihty teet. The fields, whtch rarely embrace ait area of more than twenty five acres, are sepa rated fromt each other by strong embnank ments called cross dams. Tlh fieldi titus larid out, is prepared to receive the seed with the utmtost care. The so.l is uken up with a-plough. and alier being harrow ed, is gotne over with the hue, so as to break up all the ihlods- In iiiis cotidi'tion it is laid'off in dttlls fourteen inchtes apart, into which tibe seed is sown-hty the hand, at the rate of fromt two 10 three and a half- bushels an acre. T-' o tmethiuds of sowving the seed are practiced;- the one is to cover it by drawitng tover tt the earth thrown op akmtg the edges of drills; the other is,- to soak the sieed in wvater well~ saiurated clay, wich efectiually pirevetnts it from floating ogf when tie water is let on the field, as it is imimeduitely after sowing, in-both cases. The practice be ing in- the first method in, siafer the water to remain only five or six days, whereas when the rice isshayed, the field is ctover ed for a much longer perniod- Uuna very lately, the only met hod of eultivating th'is aquatic plaut was-to let the wate-r on and off from time to time, n' eeding and boing the ric~e three timles in ,.he se-ason, and' af ter the third hoingi, to cover the field ' uht water until the grain was matured. The !and was then dried atnd the harvest corn menced. Many planters now pefer tsh water culture, -or iixty days system, as they 'terin it-the fields remaining under water for thalt period of time ; the water being merely let off to fresh--n it, and pal on again at the return of. the tide. I beg to refer those who are desirous of being acquainted with further details of these methods ciT cultivating rice., to Mr. Alli. son's valuable Meimoir already noticed, which.contains likewise an elaborate des cription of'the mills in use fat preparing the grain for market. The goartity .of rice exported from South Carolina during the last year, was estimated at one hindred and thirty thou sand barrels of six hundred pounds each and three hundred thousand bushels ol paddy or rough rice. I transmit herewitl a copy of the analysis of rice made b3 Professor Dr. Charles U. Shepherd, a the'instance and expense of the Agricul turul Society.of. WiunyaOand All Saint in Georgetown district, South Carolina The greatest aiid inost important chang in the cultivation of this State, took place towards tie close-of the 'bighteenth cen tury, by the infroduction of cotton. I was first cultivated in 1784, and in 179f six millions of .pounds of dean cottot were exported. %Since ghat period,'its cd tivation has beernrapidly extended. so thal the quantity now -produced. is little jhort of sixty millions of pounds. The usual method of cultivating enttor in this State is, after due preparation ol the land, and manuring it as highly as the means within the reach of the plantel will permit. to sow the seed on protty higl ridges, four feet apart. dropping ii in holes tade at a distance of from eight to twen ty inches from each other acoording to the quaifty of the soil. A liberal'quantity o seed is deposited in each hole to provide against the many casualities to which thim plant is liable.. At the proper season e their gtowth,'the plants are thinned oul so as ta leave only a single one at the reg mated distance. In the neighborhood of the sea coast, where the best cotton it produced. the plough is used only to pre pare the 1.nd to receive the seeds, the re t'aining culture being performed with the hoe. It is laborious, the practice be ing to hoe over a field six or seven times int a season." In other parts of the State, where green seed or short staple cotton is cultivated, the plough is in general use, both for preparing the land, and the cul ture of the crop. They use for this pur poke a triangular share, which from its shape is called a shovel plough. It has always appeared to me, that the plough linight be used with advantage betw, and a better kind of implement than the one descriied, be adopted by the planters in the upper districts. From past expertience, I am convinced that the subsoil plough ought to be more generally used through out ihe State. TI:e greatest defect, he w ever, in the agricultur-- of South Carolina, and that which piroduces the most disas trous consequences, is the continued culti vation of the same description of produce upon the same land. Planters fully un derstand the importance of manuring their lands, and exercise great indtistry in col. eciing and spreading it over their fields. They use for the purpose wood leaves and ,traw, either trodden by cattle, and mixed niih animal manure, or in their crude state, and in the late discoveries of ex ensive beds of marl in South Carolina, by Pr. RutLn, and that gentletan's ad mirble essays on thte uses of Calcarious Manures have been tmore widely circulated both litne atnd tmarl have been tmuch used. Still I hear of no improvement itn thc manner of cropping tho land. No rota tion, even the tost obvious and simple, has beetn yet adopted. Mr. Ruffin rec mtetds alternate husbandry. atnd the use of the pea and sweet potatoe. as the ttost sntitable plants for restoring or keep ing the land in heart. Hlie recommrendat tions will, it is to be hoped, prodtuce a eer system of farmoing and plantingt than has hithurto been practiced. The sotl of the middle and upper districts being cotm iosed chiefly of disintegrated primitive rocks, all containing more or less lime, ot tottssiumo, is well adapted to, the growth of clover antd thterefore capable of~ the highest impro'vemecnt ; atd t he abundatnce f tarl and shtel) itne. in the lower coun try, w'ouldt enable the planter thtere to cul tivate both clover and tutrneps, to order to pretare the land for groin. Botht plattters and fartter., ought to be imtpressed with the ittportancee of the rule adopted in thet best farming countries .in Europe-never to raise to maturtty two cutltmiferosus erops in succession Ott thte same laud. The granite regiotn of South Carolina, by n hich I mean that portion of the State, itaip1 above the first falls of the rivers, does not present thte bold attd rocky scene r) e'ich getnerally distinguishtes region! of gtanite ad Oneiss-; but a gently undo ltina sur'face covered with veg. tation, peculirily arising from the circumnstathc of its primtiive rocks having becotne dis integrated by the s'elioit of the at mosphere trouing a loose,- friable and fertile soi fro thte valley to the hill top. easily cul tivated and very prodttetive, bOt requirinsi costut attttiont to preserve it. TPhe frequent use of thte plottgh, and the unre tit ted culture of the soil in corn and dot to!, have tnot only deteriorated the quali ty of thte land. but exposed the surface it be wshed away by the heavy rains a these latitudes, and the traveller' it pass in g over districts remtarkable in formei years lor their fertility. encounters litil< ee thatn bare hills of clay, washed intc hideous gullies or barren fields overgrowt with broom grass antd low pines, the oh viuseffect of injudicious cultvation ant bad management; The only remedy tha presented itself to the ignorant cttltivatoi for the havoc he had wrought on this fai land, was to clear new fields, and whet that resource was exhaused to seek a nee ountry. so that the effect of this wretch ed system was not only to destroy the fer ility of the lands-, but still further to im poverish the State by promoting emig:-a tion.
