IMPROVEMENT OF POOR
LANDS.
* BY COL. GEO. WATT, RICHMOND.
southern Planter and Farmer.
Improvement of farming lands,
the labor question and the question
of stock raising, covers, I think,
the three great and leading ques
tions in successful agriculture. I
think, the poorest land may be
made rich in ten years by deep
plowing of peas and oats, provided
it is first thoroughl3 drained, so as
there shall not be one drop of water
rising upward out of the earth to
mix with the soluble particles of
decayed vegetable matter and other
valuable but invisible - properties
that are in all soils and on its sur
face, for as soon as all soils are
thus drained and deeply plowed,
they become filterers, letting down
ward all the water from the heaviest
falls of rain and from the snows,
frosts, dews and fogs, each of which
contain a vast amonnt of vegetable
properties, prepared in the labra
tory of God Almighty (the clouds,)
and brought down again to the
earth to perpetuate fertility for
man's good. These valuable pro
perties alluded to are the gasses
which escape from decayed vegetable
and animal matter that are lighter
than the atmosphere near the earth's
surface, and are ever rising upward
(though imperceptible in most in
stances), until caught and garnered
in the clouds and poured out again
or. rich and poor alike all over this
world by our Father in Heaven.
Again, this world or globe of ours
is 24,000 miles in circumference ; it
revolves (or turns over) once in
every twenty-four hours ; there
fore, the surface of this globe is
moving with the speed of 1,000
miles per hour and more than six
teen miles per minute. Think of
it ; think of its revolving lightning
speed, and think of what a mighty
centrifugal force is brought about
to throw all of the hidden and val
uable fertilizing gasses f.onm the
bowels of the earth to the surface,
there to meet and-mingle with the
gasses there present to perpetuate4
the fertility of the earth for man's
good and the glory of God. Plow
ing deeply, therefore, unlocks and
lets upward a greater amount of.
these hidden gasses than shallow
scratching ; and the combination of
gasses from above and beneath
the surface of the earth is of itself,
when kept there by a deep tilth,
an improver; which, with pea fal
low and oats, is certain to improve
and make rich any soils. Very
deep plowing, in lieu of shallow,
should never be done immediately
before planting in the spring
year for the season ; that all of the
earth brought up from beneath
former plowings is sterile, dead,
and must have time for .the ele
ments of heat and cold, rain and
snow, &c., to act on it to give it
life. Subsoiling will obviate this
difficulty, but I prefer deep and
thorough (thatched) plowing in
winter, fall and spring months-if
there is any soil-before planting
Reverse these natural laws to which
I have alluded of bringing the gasses
from above and beneath, in order
that no particle of matter may be
lost and for the perpetuity of the
fertility of the earth, and let all in
the earth descend (were it possible)
and all above the earth's surface go
upward forever, this world would
be at once a barren waste, and not
even a sparrow could find a meal or
seed to feed On; but, in the good
ness of God to man, and in His in
finite wisdom, He has made these!
laws to co work together to per- I
petuate the fertility of this globe I
for man's good and His own glory.
These crude ideas, as I give them 1
out, are the deductions of my own ~
exeineadosevtos n

IRISH POTATOES.
Our planters and gardeners al
nost without exception know how
o plant and raise a good spring
rop of Irish. potatoes. Yet how
ew of them make the effort to pro
luce the second or fall crop which
nay be done in shorter time and
vith less attention and work.
There are but two or three points
)f difference in the modes of plant
ng each crop.
To succeed in a fall crop, it is the
)est to plant the potatoes you
iave raised in the spring, and just
iter digging them, and without
mxposure to the sun. Secondly,
the potato you plant in the fall
nust not be cut but planted whole
without regard to its size. This is
)ne important point. If you cut
,hem they will 'bleed' and are not
ikely to come up, and if they do
.ome np, and if they do come up the
,lant will not be strong and vig
>rous. Thirdly, mulch the entire
atch three or four inches deep,
mmediately after planting, or after
the first rain that follows the plant
ng. This is the most important
oint, and upon its being faithfully
lone depends lyour success. You
an mulch with half rotted-wheat
;traw, pine-straw or oak leaves. We
?refer pine straw and oak leaves
nixed, if they can be had con
reniently. The potatoes may be
ylanted in rows and manured well
with rotted manure the same as
rour spring crop, only you should
aot leave any ridges, but have the
;ntire surface of your patch as
evel as possible, after you have
lone planting and before beginning
~omulch.
We have not failed to raise a
nost excellent crop of Irish pota
~oes for a number of years past. We
ilant after a good rain any time in
August. The plan we pursue . in
alanting, and which has given us
mech an-invariable success this, viz;:
We never dig our sping crop until
wve are ready to plant our fall crop.
We .then plow our spring patch
with a common turning plow twice
n immediate succession. At each
plowing we shave hands to follow
she plow and gather up the pota
Soes, being careful to place them in
she shade until ready to plant.
rhen with a turning plow six or
seven inches run a furrow across
the patch at one side-let the
slow return in the same furrow de
posit the manure, and cn the ma
aure drop the potato, twelve or
~ighteen inches apart, without be
ng cut. This furrow is filled, and
~he manure and potatoes covered
my running another alongside the
>ne in which they are deposited.
rhe plowman will now return, with
uis plow, to the end, keeping it out
>f the ground, and then run a fur
x>w to cover up the last one, which
2a3 covered the potato. In this
arrow he returns, opening as he
id the first one for the reception
>f manure and potato. By these
nethods you pla in every furrow.
[f you wish, however,;to give great.
ar distance between the rows, it
nay be easily done by adding one
>r more waste furrows.
When yoiu have planted in the
nanner described, the ground will
ye level and smooth and in fine con
ltion to receive the necessary
nulching, after which no other
work or attention is required.
If the weather is moderately sea
sonable the potatoes planted in the
all make very rapidly and much
sooner than those planted in the
spring. If gathered just 'before
~rost, or after the vines die down,
~hey can be easi]y kept through the
vinter, and for table use are equal to
mny obtained from the north. Do
iot try to keep them in the smoke-'
iouse-they will rot in a salt at
nosphere-but in a dry cellar, or
;ome other cool and dry place, not
oo much in a bulk but spread out
hin]y on the floor. Exclude all
ight from them-if you do not
hey will turn green and become
~oft, and entirely worthless for
able use.-Amnericus Republican.
