Letter from Dr. O.'R* Broyles.
A. F. Lewis, Esq.?My Dear Sir:?I
thank you very kindly for the compli?
ment implied in your request, that .1
would furnish }-ou, and through you, the
Agricultural Society at Pendleton, with
the results of my experience, and obser?
vations, in reference to the cultivation of
Rice in-upper-Carolina. I regret to have
to say to you in advance, that I can
* scarcely hope to meet tho expectations
?f cithor, especially if it is supposed, that
my experience has been sufficient to
found a reliable policy, or oven to impress
my own mind with an undoubtin'g confi?
dence in all the views I may communicate
I concur fully with your Society, that
the Rice crop, in tho present prostrate
Condition of our affairs, is very well en?
titled to serious consideration. For if
it can be made appear, that tho soil and
climato of the upper Districts are emi?
nently congenial to the growth, develop?
ment and maturation of the Rice plant,
there can be no question, when consider?
ed in connection with the vast amount of
River, Creek and Branch low-grounds at
command, and their unsurpassed produc?
tiveness, as to our own ability to raise
not only an ample supply for domestic
consumption, but many thousands of
bushels for exportation annually.
It has always been a matter of aston?
ishment to me, that a crop so highly rc
. muncrating, should havo been so long
Overlooked by our farmers and planters.
.There is scarcely a farm on which there
is not enough low-grounds to produce an
amount of Rice, more valuable than the
ordinary cotton crop. Yet, the cultiva?
tion of Rico for the last half century, has
been confined to negroes, whose patches,
With very rude and insufficient prepara?
tion, havo generally exhibited vigorous
growth and an abundant yield.
In the fall of 1843, tho Agricultural
Society at Pendleton, for the first time,
took the subject into serious considera?
tion. And, for the purpose of testing tho
capacity of our soil fully, they offered a
small pi'emium for the best acre of Rice
grown in tho District. You, doubtless,
remember the result. There were three
Competitors?Wm. Steele, Dobson Reese
and 0. R. Broyles. Tho first named
planted his aero on tho alluvian of an old
mill-pond,^ind its growth was so rapid
. and luxuriant} that it fell by its own
Weight, on attaining a height of about
three feet. The crops of tho other two
Competitors, which were planted the last
week in April, were fully matured and
harvested on the 2nd of October. Tho
Committee, appointed to measure and
weigh the Rice and award the premium,
reported 0. R. Broyles had made one
hundred and ten and a half bushels on
one acre, of land; and that Reese -had
made ono hundred- and live. That the.
first named had beaten his competitor by
"five and a half bushels by measurement,
and fifteen by weight. This last differ?
ence resulted doubtless from tho dama?
ging effects of the shade of a few partially
deadened trees in Air. Rcesp's field.
The report of tho Committee was pub?
lished over the signature of its Chair?
man, Rev. Mr, Potter, of the Episcopal
Church, and became generally known.
The following year,- as was expected,
very many of our citizens embarked in
its cultivation, and various kinds of ma?
chinery were constructed for tho purpose
?f pounding and preparing tho article
for market. The result of all which was,
that the supply so far exceeded the de?
mand, that prices became so much reduc?
ed in the upper Districts, that the article
prepared for market in the best manner,
was sold at from ono dollar and a half to
"two dollars per bushel by retail.
This put a sudden check to the cultiva?
tion of Rice in the upper country, as an
article for exportation and sale. I have
eohtinued to plant an acre or more at
intervals of two and three years, for do?
mestic use, up to tho present time; nor
has the yield ever fallen short of my ex?
pectations, when properly managed.
I have reproduced these facts, with
which yon were once familiar, and which
iorra a p?rt of the" records of tho Far?
mers' Society at Pendleton, for the pur?
pose of refreshing your recollection of
them, and for tho still more important
object of presenting proof that cannot
be controverted, that tho soil and climate
of tho upper Districts of South Carolina,
are eminently adapted to the g'rowth and
development of the Rice crop. Yea,
more: It is even questionable whether
they can' be surpassed in this respect by
any low-grounds on the continent or in
tho worldi
This assumption may at first view star?
ve and astonish unreflecting minds. But
facts:axe stubborn things. Rico has been
cultivated in South Carolina on a larger
scale, and with-larger profits, than in any
other Stato- in tho TJuion. Yet I havo
never met with a Rice planter from the
ooast, who thought ho had realized as
much per acre on his best lands as
represented above.
But thero is another question involved
in-the investigation entitled to very grave
consideration. And that is, to form an
estimato of. tho damaging effects of a I
? . ?
succession of Rice crops on the produc?
tive powers of tho soil. This question I
am unable to determine from my own
experience. I have nevor doubted "but
that Rico was a great exhauster. Yet
this opinion rests more upon inference
than tho logic of facts. As a general rub,
very abundant crops soon take from the
soil the peculiar pafcnlam'oh which they
feed. But is it not reasonable to con?
clude, that lands thus impoverished by
succession of Rico crops would bo as
readily renovated by rest and rotation,
as with the other cereal grains. Yea,
more so. It is known to every ono that
the .Rice plant, well supplied with fresh
water alone, is rendered thereby a'.most
independent of tho soil. It will attain a
luxuriant growth on a naked rock. I have
seen it extending out of flower pots and
glass jars sitting on mantel pieces and
side-boards, a heighth of two or mere
feet, having drawn its subsistence from
clear water and the atmosphere alone?*
From the astonishing effects of fresh wa?
ter, applied as a continued current, I have
been almost ready to adopt tho conclu?
sion, that soils of very moderato utility,
might be made to yield abundant crops.
My remarks have exclusive reference to
that species called Gold Rice, which is
essentially an aquatic plant. A teetotal?
ler in all its tastes and inclinations. I
have had but little experience with any
other kind.
But tiie question presents itself, how is
it, and why is it, if fresh water exerts
such an influence in developing the crops,
that the yield should be so different in the
various sections of our country. If fresh
water was the chief reliance, it would
seem that whero it could bo obtained in
sufficient quantity, there would bo a max?
imum yield. In reply; I would say that
important results often proceed from ap?
parently trivial causes, which, like the
action of tho sulphate of lime on the
trefoils, has up to this time defied the re?
searches of tho most learned philosophers
of the age; yet the world knows that,
applied to red clover at tho rate of fifty
.pounds to the acre, increases the yield at
least four fold.
It may be, and all the surrounding cir?
cumstances duly considered favor the con?
clusion, that our bold, fresh streams in
tho upper country hold in solution some
inorganic constituents, some one or more
of tho mineral manures, which invigorate
our Rice crops, and might, if understood,
account for their extraordinary yield.
If this view of tho subject has any
foundation in reason and in fact?if these
theoretical speculations aro found to have
reached tho true causo of tho superiority
of our Rico crops in the upper Districts,
no further proof is required to show that
we have a never failing resource against
impoverishment of our soils by the cul?
tivation of Rice; and that it may bo in?
troduced into our rotations with all its
highly compensating advantages, as often
as the Other cereal grains, and with as
littlo permanent injury to the land.
I never grow a crop of Rice on the
same ground more than two years in suc?
cession, and in every instance the second
crop was greatly inferior to the first.
Whether this difference resulted from ex?
haustion of the soil by tho first crop, or
from more imperfect cultivation, I am
unable to say; but I presume it was from
'both. The aquatic grasses multiply very
rapidly in our low grounds in Rico cul?
ture; their seeds aro sown broadcast at
every inundation of the streams, which
quadruples tho labor of cultivating the
second crop over the first; but this evil
can be obviated in a great degree by deep
turning in the fall season.
By reason of the inclination of nearly
all of our low-grounds in this region,
Rice cannot be flooded as is done below ;
but I apprehend thcro is nothing lost from
that cause. There is always a sufficient"
quantity of water in our streams to effect
a thorough irrigation of the surface, by a
dam at tho most elevated point, from
which it may be distributed by innumer?
able small channels, and with but little
labor, over the wholo area. In this way,
the whole crop is pervaded with running
water, always fresh and fertilizing. This
mode of applying water must be the best
that can be adopted. The labor required
to secure a moving current at all points,
is sure to be amply compensated by the
result. I have always observed that
where the water had reached some re?
mote spot, by percolation through the
loosened earth, and became warm and
stagnated, the Iiicc soon assumed an un?
healthy aspect.
As respects the 7nodus cultandi of the
Rice crops, I propose to offer but few sug?
gestions. As is the case with most oerc
als, success depends in an eminent degree
on tho amount of labor expended in pre?
paring tho land. Tho first, and perhaps
the most important consideration, is thor?
ough drainage. This, according to my
observation, should be as effectually done
as it intended for a corn crop. The ad?
vantages of this policy will bo apparent
on a moment's reflection. It is tho only
condition of tho soil which- enables the
plowman to effect a thorough pulveriza?
tion. The seeds sown in soft and well
broken ground germinato more quickly,
and unresisted by clods, soon exhibit a
good stand, and quite in advance of weeds
and grass, and it is a matter of tho first
importance that these intruders bo re?
moved at an early period of their growth,
as it requires immense labor to rgmovo
them from amongst the Eico after they
havo become rooted in the soil. Tho first
working secures the crop, if properly per?
formed. After this, the Rico defies all
competitors, and is easily managed.
There arc certain rules for applying wa?
ter, with which I am not very familiar ;
but nryimpression is, that after the weath?
er becomes warm-, and the Eico has at?
tained some eight or ten inches in height,
it can scarcely be misapplied.
I regret, sir, that I-have not been able
to serve yon with a richer and more pal?
atable repast. If you have knocked and
it has not been opened unto you?if you
have asked for bread, and I have given
you a stone, I trust you will conclude it
is my poverty, and not a want of patriot?
ism or porsonal kindness, that leaves you
destitute. I have submitted a series of
experimental facts, that prove beyond
question that our soil and climate are ad?
mirably adapted to the cultivation oT
Eice. Nor havo I any doubt but that if
by experiments conducted on scientific
principles, tho much dreaded impoverish?
ment of the soil can be obviated by rest,
and a rotation, as is the case with the
other cereals, but that it may become a.
very profitable employment of capital in
this section of tho State, and add much to
our resources as an agricultural people.
Compared with the profits arising from
the cultivation of cotton, or any of the
cereal grains, its advantages, under al!
the fluctuations of tho market;, are at
least four to 0n<?.
Very truly yours, &C,
0. R. B??ttM.

Intelligent Culture;.
In order that the agriculturalist may
tho better understand his business, he
should make himself familiar with all
that concerns the land ho occupies, the
origin and nature of the soil, etc., in
short all that relates to the soil, as well
as the nature and composition of the
plants which he grows, and their relation
to the soil, ct?. In the following I shall
not attempt a full investigation of all the
various relations, causes* etc., it would
be necessary to discuss in order to a full
and definito understanding of what is
embraced in the foregoing; but will only
glance at a'few points of interest. Soils
in general consist of organic and inorgan?
ic matter; and differ greatly as regards
their agricultural capacities, constitution,"
etc. The organic matter of a soil con?
sists of all matter produced from and by
tho .agoncy of living organs, animal or
vegetable substances decomposed or trans?
formed ; exhibiting, in some cases, some?
thing of tho original structure?somc
tijnes forming only a fine brown powder,
intermixed with mineral matters of the
soil j at other times existing only in a
state of organic compounds, scarcely
prcccptiblo in either of the above forms.
All soils, to bo productive^ must consist
of as uitablo proportion of organic mat?
ter; theso proportions differ in different
soils, varying from one-half to 70 per
cent, of their weight; With cither more
or less proportion they cease to bo pro?
ductive, and need an admixture to bring
them into profitable cultivation. Differ?
ent crops will flourish upon land con?
taining different proportions, of organic
matter; thus barley requiring a larger
per cent, than ryo or oats, and wheat a
still larger per cent, than barley. The
presence of organic matter alone in a soil
is not sufficient to render it productive
although a certain per cent, must always
be present in a productive soil. Soils in
the same vicinity may each contain near?
ly, or quite, tho same per cent., yet ono
will be productive and tho other barren ;
the barren one being mado so by tho pois?
onous, dead inorganic matter contained
therein. The earthy part of soils, when
free from water, contains about ninety-six
per cent, of their whole weight; and this
consists principally of silica, alumina and
lime. What is denominated a sandy soil
is one in which silicious sand predomi?
nates. A calcareous one is where carbon?
ate of lirno is found in considerable abun?
dance, as in some chalk or limestone dis?
tricts. Alumina, when in large propor?
tion of the soil, constitutes a clay of
greater or less tenacity. Neither of theso
three substances often occur in quantities,
! pure, sufficient to form a superficial cov?
ering to any extent of the earth's sur?
face. The three foregoing substances are
generally found in soils in a state of me?
chanical mixture; that is, in a state in
which they may bo separated without
resort to chemical means. Silicious sands
and carbonate of lime soils are always so,
but in clays tho silica and alumina arc
mostly in a state of chemical combina?
tion. A clay loam differs from a clay, in
that a proportion of fine sand may bo
washed out, amounting to from 15 to 30
per cent., this sand and clay forming a
mechanical mixture; this admixture of
sand is what gives it its more friable na?
ture When a loamy soil is washed, it
deposits from 30 to 60 per cent, of sand;
a sandy loam from GO to 90 percent.;
and a sand}' soil contains no moro than
10 per cent, of clay. Soils where lime is
found in greater or less abundance are
called marl or calcareous soils. Many
soils are those in which- the proportion of
lime is greater than 5. and docs not ex?
ceed 20 per cent, of the dry soil?these
may be sandy, loamy, or clay marls, ac?
cording as the proportion of* clay it eon
tains, were it free from lime, would be
placed. Calcareous soils are those in
which the proportion of lime exceeds- 20
per cent., and are distinguished as the
last. Soils, whose constituents aro sim?
ply cla}r and sand, are examined by wash?
ing, and named according to the percent,
of sand deposited; but those containing
lime, in chemical combinations, are not'
thus readily examined, it requiring some
chemical process to separate the constit?
uents. A soil which takes its character?
istics from the amount of vegetable mat?
ter it contains is usually denominated
vegetable mold, and varies from the com?
mon garden soil to tho peat soil which
contains one-half or three-fourths veget?
able matter. A knowledge of the com?
position of soil will often determino the
nature of a fertilizer that would bo ap?
propriately applied to act in conjunction
, with the substances already in tho soil,
for the plants to feed on; this fertilizer
should also have reference to the compo?
sition of the plants.
Immediately beneath tho surface-soil
is the subsoil, which often has a remar?
kable influence upon the growth of any
crop in the soil above it. This subsoil
sometimes consists of a mixture of the
general constituents of soils, but natural?
ly different from the surface?sometimes
a clay underlies a sand or other light soil,
a hard pan underlies a loam often, etc.?
The upper or surface soil, serves as a me?
dium in which plants fix their roots; here
they grow and die. This soil consists of
.a layer varying in depth from a few
inches to many feet, Plants rarely ex?
tend their roots through the soil into the
subsoil, and vegetable matter is still more
rarely buried thorcin, but tho rains or
water pass through the upper soil, dis?
solving out some of the vegetable or or?
ganic mattor, which is carried clown into
the subsoil, so that it not. untrequcntly
contains these Substances in greater or
less quantities-. There isa.limit to which
water penetrates, beyond which wc find
no traces of vegetable or organic matter
in the earth's layers. The characteristics
then, of a soil are, that it contains more
organic matter in a state of decay. ?f
a subsoil, the Organic matter is chiefly in
a ?olublc state, having been washed down
from the soil above^ the quantity being
much less; of the underlying mass, that
it is nearly unaffected by :iny changes
which tho atmosphere, Culture or vegeta?
tion, as agents,.have produced upon the
soils above. Underlying most parts of
the earth's surface we find rocks, some of
which appear above in naked masses, in
other places a slight covering, and again
varying to a great depth-. These accu?
mulations or coverings consist of loose
materials often, as Band, gravel, etc.?
These portions aro what is denominated
the soil, consisting usually, according to
geologists, of materials formed from the
crumbling cf roctiSj together with such
vegetable matttcr in decomposition as may
have been-produced on it. or other matter
washed down from higher sources. By
knowing' the kind of rocks the soil rests
upon, wc may judge of the soil, as it usu?
ally partakes more br less of the nature
of the rock, unless it be of drift forma?
tion. As before intimated, underneath
the surface of loose or drifted matters arc
rocks. Some of these arc what arc cal?
led stratified rocks, from being formed in
layers or beds, called strata; of varying
thicknoss; others, as the granites, trap,
etc., are unstratificd or solid rock, being
In solid mass instead of ih layers. As
these strata often lie in different positions
?sometimes flat, at others inclined, tho
soil overlying varies with the strata on
which it rests, partaking of tho natural
characteristics of that strata. As the
firtility of the soil of any particular lo?
cality depends largely on its geological
structure, it shows how much importance
a previous knowledge of that structure
is It) enabling us to determine tlie nature
of tho soil that is found in such locality.
It also acts in determining the effects of
special fertilizers applied, whereas, when
applied without any knowledge of the
requirements of tho soil, they arc often
condemned as worthless by those who
use them, when, perhaps, in a different
locality they produco the best results.
So in the growth of crops?one soil is
peculiarly fitted to faiso a given Crop;
another, which appears to the general
view equally as good, will not produce
the same crop, or, if produced, its quali?
ties are entirely unlike the former. Thus
wc find it necessary to adapt our crops to

Efficacy of Oxions:?A writer says:
"We arc troubled often with severe .coughs,
the result of colds of standing, which may
turn to consumption or premature death.
Hard coughs cause sleepless nights by con?
stant irritation in the throat, and a strong
effort to throw off offensive matter from
