Nature Teaching Farmers,
POMARIA, May IS, 1SG9.
MR. EDITOR: Tho influences of our spring
climate and seasons havo put my mental
machinery to evolve a few thoughts respect?
ing the iuterests and operations of tho soil.
By reference to tho early developments of
our farming notions South in planning and
preparing for tho coming crop, it is evident
that a largo cotton crop was intended, influ?
enced by tho idea, of the so-called high price
of cotton. Wo use the term so-called, be?
cause, when wc take into consideration tho
specie value of tho curreucy; tho price of
most articles of food; tho cost of labor, tax,
Arc., the price is not so high, after all.
Doubtless over-selfishness and an impatient
desire to grow suddenly rich again, under?
lie the peculiar preparations for the forth?
coming crop. Hence, the influences brought
to bear upon tho farmers to multiply tho
uso of these fertilizers have had such a gene?
ral and astounding effect. A great cotton
crop was determined upon, to the compara?
tive neglect of corn. This is a doubtful
policy at best. Some timely warnings were
thrown out occasionally by the press, and a
few conservative observers of a philosophi?
cal turn of mind gave cautious hints, but
they had but little eflect. The guano fever
on thc brain had set in, became contagious
and infectious, aud made n sweep over this
whole couutry. Woll, it is an ill wiud that
hlow? no one any good. The expectations
aro not likely to he realized. The powers
of nature are already interfering, and the
injudicious application of these fertilizers
have also notably failed. Tho continuous
cold, frost and repeated rains, (in mnny
places heavy, washing und leaching,) must
necessarily have a damaging effect upon tho
manurial operation, even where best ap?
plied.
It is said that the waters of tho last
swelled rivers gave out the smell of guano
tinctures. From these various causes stands
of cotton have failed to an alarming extent
Some aro acting widely aud replanting in
corn, but others are running tho chances,
whisting up cotton seed and replanting
them, at tho 17th of May. This may do on
strong land, a thriving season aud late fall.
These fertilizers are, in reality, only stimu?
lators, not improvers of thu soil. Even
where scientifically applied, their effect is
to arouse tho natural energies of the land,
to contribute its quota to the plant for that
year ouly, aud thus servo to exhaust tho na?
tive energies of tho soil that much sooner.
In such agricultural movements, we are re?
minded of tho fable of the man who had a
goose that laid a golden egg each day, (well
enough, oue would think,) but this lucky
proprietor grow impatient, and put his wits
to work how to reach the ultimatum at
once. A supposed happy thought struck
him, and, resolved upon a surgical, not j
chemical, Operation, ho ripped open tho
gold-laying goose, but nias! the result was
the destruction of tho source of his gradual
accumulation of wealth. Tho moral is the
same iu both cases, very nearly. Mother
earth feeds well, but don't try to over-run
her native energies all at once by au un?
timely impatieuco to become suddenly rich.
Header, do not understand the writer as
opposed to the use of manures on exhausted
lands, nor even proper fertilizers. Use
them judiciously; but to do this requires
study und tho acquisition of knowledge re?
quisite to understand the nature, constitu?
tion and wants of your soil, for the raising
of the specific plants. You should know
the prevailing ingredients of the fertilizers
aud manures. They might require com?
mixing to meet tho wauts of your laud and
the kind of plant you wish to produce.
When all these points arc brought to bear
upon your farming operations, and your
tillage, of deep or shallow ploughing,
adapted accordingly, you may expect to im?
prove your soil and increase your products
per acre. Add to all this patience, and ob?
serve the workings and teachings of nature.
