l jensated if you derive th mal
est profit from my experience.
"As faIr back as 1888, from havjng sAe
eotapots in my fields which were al
most barren and unptoduotivon I "as in.
duced to try what. would be the effiect of
manuring them with -compoit nianiure.
The good effects were sovisible from tle
coming up of the oog to the harvesting
time, that I determined to try It ekten
sively on the two succeeding crop.: The
quantity a p plied was equal to what I& gen.
erally app icd to the foanuring of' high
lana for the planting of Blip Potatoes or
Coi-n-,say 40 or 50 sin' horse cart
loads to each acre, each 13 estimated as
equal to twelve heaped up' bushel bsak.
etsi The Rice grew . luxuriantly; so
much so as to lodge, and was fit fbr har.
vesting temi daga earlier than Rice planted
at the same time upon the same soil,' but
not manured,, arnd cultivated io the same
manner,
"A t your suggestion, six or seven years
since, I was induced to enter upon vari
ous oxperiments with Limo upon what is
called Bay Land. . -It is necessary that I
I should explain what I mean by Bay Land.
I do not mean a barren soil, to which this
term is often applied. The land to whi&h
I allude was cleared of heavy timber,
Gum, Tupelo, Bay, &c. It consisted al
together of vegetabl matter, no clay
whatever being visible on it, It produc
ed only tolerably at first, and annually
deteriorated to such a degree as to cause
nc frequently.to be advised to abandon
its culture as not remunerating nie for my
labor. To this land, consisting of several
squares,.I -applied Ltp Attho rate of 20
tor.100 bushels per acik My experience
Is, that 32 bushels to the acre for the first
one or two years is equal in effect to any
greater quantity, and all subsequent ex.
perusen'I.ts have confirmed me in this op.
0 inion. I tried both stone and shell Lime,
and have found the latter in its effectssu.
perior to the former.
"Tho effect upon these lands las bcen
a gradual and steady improvement, arres
ting its tendency to deterioration, which
-vas so great as by this'time would have
rendered them .utterly worthless, The
growth which was meagre and dwarfish,
has become of the usual average height,
and the product increased to 40 4usbels
to the acre; and the quality, which was
before inferior, the grain being small and
soft, is now equal to the bat louthern
Rice.
"But my experience has proved to me
that Rice- planters are not dependent upon
Lime alone for the renovation and im.
provement of their Rice lands. Simul.
taneously with my experiments with Lime,
I entered on a series of experiments with
Clay, dug from the adjoining high lands.
The purer and richer the better, but I
consider the application of any kind-ol
Clay as highly beneficial to a soil- of'de
cornpose d vegetable matter,
"On a square of twenty acres, to which
I had applied thirty-two bushels of Liint
to the acre in the spring of 1845, 1 re
served -a line of one-eighth of an acre in
width through the entire field; to this 1 ap
plied some blue Clay, talten from thc
edge of the adjoining high lands, an]
a which had been dug out in the previous
i autumn. This was pulverised, and rollei
I in wheelbarrowvs upon two inch plank, anc
i scattered on the reserved one-eighth acre
The improvement of the whole field wvas
beyond my most sanguine expectation
The part olayed kept pace with that lined~
and the product of the whole was a goodl
crop. In 18461I planted th'o same square
without liming or app lying anyting to it,
- and it proved again one of my most pro.
I duptive fields; no difference being per,
ceptible in the limed and clayed parts,
SIn 1847 I td.aned It with the hoe, and ap.
r plied twenty.four bushels of Lime to the
1, portion limed ia 1845, and 'Tlay to the
a same line clayed at the same time, The
result was precisely the same.
" "The last spring, upon two difFerent
"_ plantations, I applied one hundred bush.
els of clay per nero to forty acres. The
. result has been perfectly satisfactory. I
. also tried the following experiment: On
f a square to which I had three yeard ag<
applied thirty-two bushels Lime to the
acre, on one-quarter of an acre I put ter
bushels Lime, on one-quarter of an acre
I did not apply anything.
"All received the same culturc and at.
tention, and each was harvested and stack.
-ced separately. Through the negligence
of my driver, I regret I am unable to give
the precise product of each separately;
but from a careful examination of eaclh
'sinck, my conclusion was that ltere was
but little difibrance bet~cen the produol
of the limed and clnaed divisinsa-if any
