Observer. - 1mir the Times. A NEW DEPARTUREMr. Kiiitor : ? I would like to know what our friends, "Pacolct" or tlie "Old Farmer" thinks of the new program e of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society. Col. Aiken seems miliar to like the idea, lie says : "Any one who has had any experience with Fairs, knows that people can't he got together without unusual attractions."

One thousand dollars offered in Premiums, !>y the State Agricultural ami Mechanical Society, for the best drilled Military Companies ! (ioodnes*alive !

I thought the while winged messenger was now to be our emblem?not prim Mars, with his improved implements of destruction, the ear, piercing fife, the spirit stirring drum, and all the pomp and pageantry of war. Is there anything bow in lliis? Why, if they wanted to create a sensation, and draw the hack country, didn't they get up a Firemen's Parade Very few of us have ever seen anything of the kind, and it would have been a treat and much more in keeping with Agricultural and Mechanical subjects than military drills. ^And, as Firemen are notoriously aggressive, we*might liavo got up an elegant row into the bat-gait:. Water is pleuty in Columbia, and a house or two, might have been set on lire for the purpose of testing the skill of Amateurs. W ith all deference for the opinion of other gentlemen, I cannot see the propriety of iniroducing such features into an Agricultural Inhibition. If you want to draw a big crowd together for social enjoyments, for the benefit cf the hotel keepers, saloons, grog shops, gambling houses aud merchants, of Columbia, it is all well enough, and everything that will create a sensation is admissible; but if you waul to improve our Agricultural and Mechanical interests, if the object is to throw light where there is darkness, and to show the old fogies aud young beginners how to make two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, aud your mechanics to learn how labor may he saved by the use of im proved implements, this is not the way io go about it. 1 have attended a good many Fairs, and 1 am sorry to say the horse racing was more attractive to the muss, than the tine.-a specimens of needle work, (minting, machinery or Agricultural I in plemenls. I h avc seen tlie whole eruwJ break away from the ring when tlie horses were on exhibition, to see a .scrub nice on the other side of the fence. Horse racing has broken do?n every Fair at the North or West, where it ims been indulged in. It draws the wrong sort of people together; and nil sober, moral religious people will, in the end, become disgust el and turn their backs upon such demoralizing exhibitions. If Agriculturists and Mechanics cannot be drawn together for the purpose of mutual im provemcnt without the detnora uiug intluenec of these rare, exhibitions attending them, the sooner they arc given tip tlio better fur all classes of society. It is manifest that there is something radically wrong, and I am inclined to agree with "Our Old Farmer" that the intelligence of tlio agriculturist is at fault, and that if a lithe of the inoiuy spent upon horse racing, military drills and all that, were spent in diffusing information of I he -iglii -ji! among the people the progress of improvcinoi : woiil 1 m>ii in- up ward and onward I . \ I; I.f. N PKJPAltlNG FOR WHEAT BOWINO. "Sufficient (iuie is not . offered to elapse between plowing for wheat and seeding, tc admit of that pnekiug of the soil uud preliminary deeomposition of crude vegetable matter which ou most soils is au indispensable prerequisite to a good wheat crop." The above scntcnco summarizes tho experi cnce of our moat successful wheat growers, I do not doubt that on the rich, tnucky soils of western prairies, this packing" and ' preliminary decomposition of crude vege table matter" are even more important chati here. For very tnuny years Western NewYork farmers thought summer fillowing was necessary to insure a good wheat crop Now wo get quite as good wheat after barley and potatoes. We have learned, by experience, that it is the decomposition ol vegetable matter ami the consequent "(inning" of the soil which are of the most iin puilauce, winch the summer lallow accomplishes. The farmer who leaves his fallow to be overgrown with a mass of weeds, and then turns these under just before seeding, makes the soil so light that it will absorb an immense amount of water. The result is that such lields will not produce as good wheat crops as well managed stubble or corn and potato ground. Hut for the difficulty in getting off' lined crops in time they would almost always be followed directly by wheat instead of succeeding an intervening oat or barley crop. Very many farmers do clear their fields of early Irish potatoes in time for wheat seeding, and if tho ground is right in other respects, they seldom fail of good yield. Hoed crops '-laid by" early in duly, have time to become linn before wheat sowing time?especially with corn. Wc find here that old wheat soils have become deficient in mineral elements, particularly phosphate and lime. Potash in tho form of ashes and soda in coarse salt, are also very important; and dressings of Kit) to .'{00 pounds of these, drilled in with the seed, produce a romarkablo effect. I suspect that lack of some of these elements is the cause of western failures in wheatgrowing. Illinois farmers boast ?f the inexhaustible fcrtilility of their deep black soil. No doubt it is rich enough in carbonaceous matter?rich enough for gross feeding plants like corn and oats; but if it fails to grow other grains, it shows a defect somewhere, and it is the duty of Illinois farmers to experiment until they discover what the deficiency is. In some places spring wheat succeeds, while winter wheat, except in favorable seasons, fails. Here, probably, the failure is d.ie to severe or wet winters, and the mechanical condition oi the soil; but we liud bore on such lands that the wheat plant will live, if the soil abounds in mineral elements needed to make a good crop. In other words, to repeat a phrase heretofore used in this correspondence. wheat will live in very bad seasons provided there is anything it can live for. If the roots tind little encouragement in the soil, the plant iptiekly dies. I do not udervalue the rich masses of vegetable matter in the western praiiies, often from one t six or more feet in depth. They are of immense importance to western firmcrs. They are mines whence he can I draw inexhaustible supplies of corn, lurk, beet and mutton. If in addition they can grow large crops of wb -at by the use of a ; trifling amount of mineral manures, it will j add immensely to their wealth. Fining the land by the use of the roller and drag, and draining it by open furrows at suitable dis tiuees. will put the soil in the proper me I olia 11 ic*:i I com lit ion. Probably a lib nil use of <jiiii'kiiinc would !? a double advantage ! ?decomposing more rapidly the surplus J humus, and adding one of the most imporI taut mineral elements of the plant. The I experiments with lime, potash, phosphates | and s ilt, should be made on a small scale at | first. The roller P more useful in preparing I wheat ground than any other implement.? There is little danger of goring the ground I too solid.

Oats is l' the crop for at least the cotton belt?cheap- J' or and better food for our tenuis. The old 1 folks tell uie that corn is necessary to give strength. So 1 heard a young man say in ' day* toy, aud that a negro uiuo should 81 have'^J^^f bacou sides each day aud his '' peck and a half of meal. Others think 8 whiskey is a great help in log rolling aud a in rcapiug. 1 admit work can be had by r' a skillful head uwin with whiskey, but overtax for one or two days will produce a col- a lapse. Hut, I am for no whiskey for man, and none for my horse, even iu a crude u statu. l< 1 began writing to stand by S. A.

I have passed through Millcdgcville, (Ja., and seen much 1-1 of Georgia, and beg A. to set on rich river land a crop of oats, 4 bushels sown on 1 the land after corn or eoltou?no seed not * ' ploughed in, no phosphate, and then his r< experience will be enlarged. So far as I v know the South, it is the rule to sow oats 1 on poorest land. This crop is not given a 1 fair chance. I have had in days past and a gone, 100 or uiorc acres yearly, and have t( seen them stand up still' 5 feet high.? u Richer laud requires the more seed, or the ^ oat will blow down aud lodge. Great good has been effected, and L trust v much more will yet be accomplished.

No doubt the orch- j ard will be a good pasture, on good land 11 and under proper treatment, for 10 to o0 1' years.

When the ground can bo worked, our irtners should bo giving their attention to lie tall plauting of grasses and grain.? Irass should bo sowed as early as possible, 'he sooner the bettor. Oats, barley and yo should all be sowed during September, f possible, though October aud Noveuibor jwings will do. Wheat should bo sowed i October or November and the ground hould be prepared as soon as possible, so s to allow time for it to settle. Wheat squires a compact soil. The richer the ground can be made for 11 of these grains the better. None of lictn do well on poor ground. The more lanure the farmer can give tboui the betjr results will follow. A good plan is to ividc the manure, using a part at planting, > give the grain a vigorous start, and in he spring finish the manuring. AtnuiouU led manures arc best for grain. Cotton aed i? one of the best fertilizers. The writer hist year planted wheat Oojber 5th, and November 7th. The lira! rheat did best. An expeditious way of rilling wheat is to open twelve-inch furrnvs, with a shovel, and broadcast tho forilizer and wheat over it, and then break he middle with tho same shovel, which lirows the manure and grain into the furnws pretty evenly. The Western farmers ery generally adopt this plan, when they o n it use the grain drill. In the spring, he use of the harrow over the young wheat, nd the broadcasting of one hundred pounds ? the acre of nitrate of soda, will have a logical effect on the wheat, giving a wouerl'ul growth, and a rich green color. bast year the oats sowed in the fall were ery much thinned out by the freezes. The rriter sowed oats three times. On the 12th f .September the rust proof oat was sowed n the eoitou, plowing in with a sweep.? .'he cotton was planted in a young orchard, he tree rows growing thick iu the grass.? .'hose oats were all killed, except in the roe rows, where tli ;v <?rcff fin<>lv Tim ext planting was on the 2(>tli of October, f winter grazing oats, in a piece of ground hat had laid idle all the year and was cuvcrod ca.vil^h^is^d ras broken with a tuvu plow, ana the oats owed on the rough, cloddy ground, and lowed in with the same turn plow. These ats all lived and turned out finely. The liird sowing was on the 13th of November, a ground '.hat had been planted in ground eas. and which was perfectly clean and boroughly pulverized from culture aid igging. These oats were planted in this ay : first, a hnshol of oats to the acre was lowed in villi a scooter, and then another ushol of oats sowed over the same acre nd harrowed in. These oafs came up tine/. but were entiarly winter killed. The most successful oat raiser in the State ?a Mr. Rose, of lTpsou county, who got bout 125 bushels from an acre, lie lowed djep and close, made his ground cry rich, and sowed four bushels of s.ed > the acre, lie grazed hall a dozen head f cattle on it from November to March, his will show what can be done. l?y all means let the farmers hurry up ic oat planting as fast as possible. One f the very best fertilizers for oats is, one umlrcd pounds of nitrate of soda, broadusted in the spring, when the oats are bout, twelve inches high. Wo have denied our crop by this application.? (iron/in inn. v. W it kn to Sow ( ).vts.?Winter oats sown i October arc positively certain to make a iod crop, while those sown in Spring cani>t he relied unon. The Winter varieties Ilcr to un equal extent with barley, thus 'quiring less seed than the Spring varieties, hieh tiller very little, no matter when the)* 0 seeded. Those sowed in the Fall acuire such an exti lit of root-surface that icy easi'y withstand the freezes of Winter r the drouths of Spring. If oats are harvested when the grain is 1 the douh, stock will do full work on ioiii in the Summer, and fatten, without ther corn or fodder. Land that will proucc ten bushels of corn per acre, will yield venly bushels of oats. An acre of corn ists ju<t three times the labor that is reaired for one of oats. The corn requires tent ion at the b isicst season, while all the bur expended upon oats, excepting the irvesting, may be given at a season of coinirativc leisure. Corn is a humus destroying crop, while its produce material for humus in the stub!e and aftergrowth of weeds and ?'jra6S liieh, if turned under while the latter ; re recti, will greatly improve the land;'though will not go so far as to indorse Dr. Fenleton's opinion, that it will supply more liitigcn than you e uild haul out during the I inter, if you had nothing else to d<>, and i inexhaustible supply of stable maiiurent [>ur command " Taking into consideration the difference i cost of production, and the superiority f oats over corn in the production of music, the greater adaption of oats as a feed i a warm climate, in consequence of its roduciug less heat than corn, besides other interial advantages, tlie almost exclusive nit i vat ion and use of corn as feed for stock i the South is, indeed, remarkable.
