EXPERIMENTS ON CORN, &,c.
St. Jomef, Goose Creek, 20th Feb. 1638.
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."
