INQUIRY ?CIIUFA3. BAI3INO PORK?
WHEAT.
Editor South kun Cultivator.?Will
Hcrniuda grass grow on very light sandy
land. that will not make uiorc than three or
four bushels of corn per acre ? Where can
I get euougli to start with ? I have soma
fifteen acres of such laud. Eveu broouisedge
does not grow well on it. I would
be glad to make the land in question profitable
as a pasture for sheep aud calves. It
grows peas tolerably well, but is so light
that corn will burn almost up in dry weather;
in fact, it is not worth cultivating in
general farm crops. I have raised chufas this
year, and fiud them very prolific 011 sandy
laud. .Aui satisfied that land that will make
.ten bushels of corn, will make from 75 to
100 bushels of chufas per acre; and the
chufu seems to bo worth about the name as
com. bushel for bushel, that is, in connection
with peas and sweet potatoes.
I would recommend starting hogs ou chufas,
say the first or tenth of September;
and keep ou chufas alone, say fil'toeu or
tweuty days, then let them have potatoes
and chufas, or potatoes, peas and chufas.?
Do not plant too many chufas iu connection
with peas aud potatoes, as hogs will cat the
chufas iu preference to any thing, except
?>rn, and seem to be about as fond of the
chufu us corn.
The above is my plau of raising pork ; that
is, let them run at ruudotn, say nine or ten
weeks, theu put them in lots and feed on
cooked potatoes and corn, say one-half potatoes
aud the other half corn, for three or
weeks, which makes very good pork. Managing
thus, 1 have enough chufas left to
keep out hogs, say two mouths during wiutcr.
There is uo reason why we can't raise
pork as cheap as the Northwest, and keep
our mouey at home, which is very imp- r
itiuv Ub lino 11IIIVJ.
I also raise wheat, which is very easily
done by using Peruvian Guauapc guauo.?
I raised this year, on very poor land, ten
bushels per acre, by applying 140 lbs. guauapc
per acre. This guauo seems to be a
perfect manure for wheat in this section of
country. The land, after being in wheat,
is left in better condition than if it had
rested. II. M. JOHNSON.
Bermuda grass will grow on any kind of
land, but on very poor, such as you describe,
will make a correspondingly poor growth.
It is regarded, and justly so, as an improver
of land, especially that which is rolling, because
it stops washes and retains all small
pieces of vegetable matter which are ordinariiy
floated off during raius. But you
could not resonably expect much pasturage
from it on your poor laud?more, however,
than from broouisedge. It is very widespread
through middle Georgia, but wc
know of no one who makes a business of
selliug it. Whether wo can make pork as
cheap as they do in the Northwest is perhaps
an open question, but oue thing is
quite certain, we can raise it at much cheaper
rates than it is bought at. present with cotton
money.?En. So. Cult.
COTTON SEED*TO AN ACBE. ?
Editor Southern Cultivator.?During
the year past, in a number of the Cul
tivator, you advised using from thirty (3U)
to one hundred bushels of cottou seed toau
acre of corn.
Will you listen to a subscriber who endeavored
to carry out your directions to the
letter, and hear the result'( On medium
land used Ml) bushels per acre. Corn grew
off finely?made a large stalk?good ear.
Next, used 50 bushels per rcrc on land
souie better than whero I used 30.?
Corn grew off well'?made no more than
the poorer land.
Iu the fall concluded to sow in oats both
fields, and, iu pulling up corn stalks where
the 30 bushels were used, found about one- r
third or one-half the seed unappropriated?
the seed clinging to the old stalk or iu the
soil immediately around it. Concluded to
try the field where 50 bushels were put.? '
Ilesult the same?only a larger cluster of
seed still rcmuiuiug. We theu went to a
five acre patch where only 15 bushes per
acre were used?pulling up the stalk, found
none left. Laud as poor as any planted?
made as good, if not better, corn with half I
the inauurc. Wc came to this conclusion,
20 bushels of cottou seed, crushed, plenty
to manure an acre of laud fur coru. More <
can be put on when the land belongs to the
farmer, but is a clear loss to the renter.? ,
Seasons during the year as good as could >
be wished for. Cultivation clean and rapid.
Frst ploughing used a scooter?afterwards
a sweep. Cottou seed dropped by
hand j corn dropped on seed.
Made a most excellent crop of oats.?
Sowed the Bennett oat. Thev will on.w
/ O" " "
tall enough on any kind of land to be easily 1
cut. Kust l'roof oats will nut, and are easily
killed in winter. One year with : u- ,
other the Beuuctt oats will pay a better
profit. S. C.
Newton county, (Ja., Doc. 25, 1876.
Your experience dues not accord with
ours?nor that of many others which have
been published. We haveapplied as much
as 70 bushels of cotton seed per acre to
corn ou bottom lands, and with most satisfactory
results. One is quite liable to be
deceived about the appropriation of the
seed by the corn, inasmuch as the woody
hulls of the seed take-a long tiuio to rot.?
Within a few days past wc found some of
the hulls still whole, and apparently little changed,
(the kernel gone) which had been
buried in the boil last June.
If, however, your conclusions are correct,
' AiJJL1A? -i i- Jje. '.mjLyjLyi r *r g ?
it would be bad policy to apply largo quantities
of cotton seed, for auother important
reasou : The chief value of seed as manure
arises from its ammonia producing capacity,
and o: producing it in a comparatively
short time. Now, ammonia applied
to the soil, if not appropriated quickly by
growing crops, is liuble to be changed into
Nitrates and leached out of the soil, so that
neither tenant nor landlord can get the benefit
of it. All arc familiar with the fact
that cotton seed is not a permanent manure;
its grertcst power beiug exerted the first
year after its application.?Ed. So. Cult.
