Mr. Editor:?The following statement* have been proven by the unerring guide of experiment. To make more corn with rtrio ll I I' tho Ivn.L' tll?? 5a lieiinllw ?" v..? ? nvan anal as uoilBIIJf| V? HUB been done, on old light sandy lands, and yet improve such a soil, I deem an important item with the planter, both in our district and elsewhere. 1 have ascertained thai the less we stir such soils by culture, the more abundant will be the yield, and of course preserve the land from hard rains and evaporation by the sun. All such lands I lay out in rows five feet apart. In January, February, and March, I list in with the hoe all the stubble and grass, making the list as small as possible. If by ihe 20th March, I have not done listing I do the balance with the bedding plough, on the same day. The corn is to be planted directly after the plough, on the same day. This will cause the corn to come up before the beds get grassy. Four furrows are necessary, where it has not been listed with the hoe, and where it has, two; one on each side is sufficient. The corn must be planted on the bed in holes or chops with the hoe, about three inches deep, and not less than three nor more than four feet apart, and ilnr.ncd out when brought to a stand, to one stalk. I would recommend an abundance of seed put in, so as to insure a stand, ns I have never succeeded either in replanting or transplanting. This done, 1 let it stand alone u til about the first of May, at which time the warm season sets in, and the corn takes a viaorous sinri in ornw. o ~ " "" b" w " ' by which time my lists or beds nro covered with grass and weed. I then take strong horses or mules, and the stoutest men to plough with; the best turning or bedding ploughs, and fallow up the midlies, or a lies. The first furrow must lap Ltie dirt on the list. To prevent the corn from being covered and broken down jy the dirt from the plough, a negro boy >r girl must accompany the ploughman, with a paddle 8 or 10 inches wide from ihe ground, for about 15 inches, and then taper up into a long handled which must be placed before the plough at the side of the hill, so as to screen the corn from the fall of heavy clods ol dirt. By giving die paddle a little twist when a large quanity of dirt comes toil, you will have met lie diit on the bed, and mould your corn, so as one half or more of the hoeing is ivoidcd. 1 have in mnnv ineinn/?n - - mm J Illl'l" led none at all, only with the paddle, ['he corn must now he brought to a stand if one stalk?I then let it alone until tin; orn is so high as barely to admit the (wingletrec to pass over it, without breaking it; say knee high; then with tho vinged or sweep plough, run one furrow nch sulc, and be sure and nice: the dirt, md not make the furrow deep?one plough vill go over four acres per day.?This lone, let it alone until you run pcrceivo lie buds for shooting and tasscling; then ake the turning plough, and break up tho niddle of the rows, by throwing the dirt is near as possible to the mm ?-? ? ?'| uu\a in'i dough deep the (irst furrow, but gradualy deeper ami deeper, until you have done be row, when you will have a tolerable air bed. Then if you have the hands and ime, dress up tins bed, which will be erv light. This lays by our corn (as we term it lere.) By this mode of culture, I have ucceedcd in making a good corn crop, in lither a wet or dry season. The roois of he corn are preserved by not cross ploughng; moisture in dry weather, your corn vi 11 always be found on a bed, and the wacr will soon run oft'. This mode of colore has so improved ni) lands, by res* ing every other year, that I now make ne-lhird more than ten years ago. Strip lie blades as soon as you sec a ripening olor appear, but do not turn down the talks until the com is nearly hard. In still' clay, or bottom lands, I have lways found it yield most, by ploughing t up as early in the fall as possible, not .lonlkxi A" ' ' ' ' ???. vhiigiumo. /%u such land snouiu c ploughed one inch decpci in every four r five years, so as to throw up fresh soil, ml by freezing in the frost and snow during anuary, February and March, you not ony pulverize and mellow the land, but detroy the germs of insects, that almost always destroy the first planting in such ands, or which is worse, gives a broken land. The seed corn in such land should ?c drilled, in order to insure a stand, and iot planted until from the 20th of April o the 20th of May. If there should be near at hand any broken oak lands uncleared, where the leaves an be gathered in abundance, rake them leep, so as to get the black mold of the ;round intermixed with them; put a suffilent quantity in the alleys of the rows in he sandy land, and list them in. By doing his, you will be abundantly paid for your abor, and eventually make your lands as iruog or stronger, than when new. cmoinu ny planter make an experiment as above tated, I would be thankful to bear the reult, as I believe this is a cheaper way of getting lands, than going to the "lap Vest."
