Wcrk forth? Month, 1 Corn.?Though the cotton planting I aeaaon ia at band, do not fail to put in plenty of corn. All lands intended for cotton, that are imperfectly and roughly | prepared, had better he devoted to corn ; and other crops. Corn will render labor ' cheaper and eaaier to obtain. Cotton ia C V . a great crop, but we have yet to see the . planter th/t frorft email beginnings hae made himself a fortune, who hae confini ed his agricultural operations to the production of cotton. The thriving planters of our acquaintance, while they made cotton the main product, looked sharply after other crops, and .somehow did it too without seeming to make little if any less of the staple than their neighbors.? Iteeides cotton to eel!, they generally managed to have plenty of corn, wheat, p?as, potatoes and bacon, for home consumption, and in their carefulness to make a sure thing of this, ordinarily had something over. We dout think it the present interest of the* planting States to make whoat, corn or bacon for export, J but we do believe they should produce enough for home consumption. The time spent in hauling corn some miles from the depot, would do a good deal towards producing it at home. Add to tLi# the fact that on most plantations, about corn enou to run them can be made, wilh? out any material interference with the production of cotton, and then the other Ifaet, that \he man who makes both corn and cotton has, in a bad year, two chan? ces to escape utter failure : for. if hi* ; com made a', home, he hat that sure, j white, if a planter depends on cotton to Ibuv bis corn, and tlie cotton crop fails, ha is "dead broke" baling no resource? | neither corn nor cotton. Make corn, tben ? produce everything needed to keep up | your place, and let the cotton sold, above what is required for the wages of the hands, represent the net profit of the estate. Then manure heavily?plow deep?use the best and heaviest seed you can obi tain. Aud let your after culture be of the most thorough character?working close and deep at the eiydy stage of the crop, hut very shallow when the roots extend, so that tbey may he unbroken. Indeed, these few things constitute the whole ejei tein of corn growing ; deep breaking up, ^specially under the row?planting the corn below the general level?plenty of manure applied ? thoroughly early work, | ing and frequent shallow etirrinar nf ?h? surface, during the growth of tbe crop, with scraper and sweep. Cotton.?If you are aura you Lara got enough of corn and other crops plantad, to supply your wants?making a lib) eral allowance for the uncertainty of the seasons, then plant cotton. No other crop produced for sale, if properly mane* ged, will draw so little from mother earth. TLsre are instances of level lands, which with no oilier manuring than resting the land every second or third year, and the return of all the seed nnd plant tc the soil, in which the last crops picked were 1 much better than the first. We bars Mr. I Dickson's word and example, to prove J the- a cotton plantation can be so rnana ged tu at its productiveness will increase each year, and the annual increase of the crop will pay a heavy proGt on the mon? ( ey expended in fertilizers. I In planting Cotton, it is a great thing : to have the ground in proper order at ; first?the beifc straight, if the surface aj?? mils, or if not, without abrupt curves.? t f Take time, then, to have the soil well ^ prepprt-d, even if you plant fewer acres. 1 The harrow will be found useful in put' verizing the surface of the beds, when rouirh and cloddy. While it is very ins, I J ^ -X I portant to get tin early stand, it is better | secured by a thoroughly prepared soil, j than by hasty untimely planting. I owesi i'otatoes, bedded last month, will soon begio to furnish "draws," Good fair, sandy soils, and plenty of manure, ere tha prime requisites of success. Break ' your ground eery deep?open wide and deep furrows?scatter good, well-rotted i manure, or rotted chips, ashes, dec , thick* I? along in this furrow, and throw on that a broad and rather flat bed?run over this bed lightly, with a.rake tc pulverise sod level it, and you are ready for planting Chinese Sugar Cane, for syrup, should be planted as soon as the weather bfcoasts settled and warm?a little after | corn planting time.
