Gourl:,n, Ghatirmaan (onmttee on Goast Lands, etc. DEAl Srlt-Below you will please find statement of oats and wheat harvested from farm planted under system of Dr. St. Julien ilavonel : O.ts-4 1-10 acres, 210 9-32 bushels 51 bushels 9 quarts per acre. W'hoat---1 acre, 6 10,60 bushels 124 bushels por acre. It is but proper to state that the land upon whilh these crops were made was an old field thoroughly exhausted, and growing nothing but broom sedge, It was sobby in inny places, owing to lack of draimage, thoro being only a shallow open drain on one side. All these features wero pointed out to you at an early stalgo of the experiment. but as it was not de sirable to place these crops under more favorablo circumstanices than is mld.nary, it was docided to give them this very test. Un fortunately, the place selected f'or the wheat proved wvet, and not adapted to this crop. The differ-. enceis between the growth on knolls, and that on spots where water lay on tho surface after rains, wvas very marked. Besides this, the wvhoat sufl'ered severely from ravages of field mice. The oats did not seem, to sun'er' near so much from either of these causes ; still on the higher pal ts of the lield, the yield was de cidedly liner than on the lower. The oats on the twvo acros piant-. ed without aniy previous .treaitmient of peas and amsh element, were poor ml many places, being so short and thin as to be not worth cutting. What was taken from this patch was not threshed, but I do not think the yield would have gone over ten bushels to the acre. Tihe lands will be put in nruch better order this season, and I hope to give better results. Riespectfully, J. .1. KEOKELEv, Supt. The measu rement of these orops was at sixty pounds to the 'bushel of wheat, and thirty-two pounds to oats. The avera4ge yield of the oats al the Atlantio K'arm is 44 66--100 bushels per acre. The growth and vigor of these crops seemed- to in d:cate a production somewhat la rget than this. Your comitteLe avail theomselvei of this occasion to submit a foran la for the cultivation of these orope end, of ~rasw. il of 4 qI4 respeo#a11 Aubi&o FORMULA For cultivating grasp and the small grains after the method at the A tlantic and Stono farms, nea Charleston. Grass-To make a Meadow. 1. The lcind of grass : The Ber mtuda is veommnren,ded. It is best to select for it meadow -ind well set in this gra,ss, because it does not sed, and is prop.toatel only by tran splanting, 2. The manner of cultivating grass a Plow the land thoroughly in the spring, or oarly aummer ; next scatter together, broadcast over it, two bushels of cow peas and five hundred pounds of ash element to the acre, with seed of the vetch, if the vetch is not already on the land, and harrow and roll it until it is even and smooth enough for the mower., The pea must not be used as food for man or beast. Suffer them to die on the land in the autumn ; it is believed unnessary to turn them in. The vetch havin'g seeded itself, as it always does, appcars again spon taneously in December, and the two, the ash-element and the vetch, combin e to fertilize the land for the crop of the following summer, 4. Experience thus far at these farms indicates that the meadow, where so established, must not again be touc hed with the plow. THE SMALL C1RAINS. The land is to be prepared for small grain through a crop of cow peas, as for grass. Having been thoroughly plowed, two bushels of peas, with five hundred pounds of ash-element, are sowed broadcast per acre, and harrowed in with a heavy harrow. If, when the 'peas have matured, there is time to allow them to die. on the land, it is more economical, and just as well, in other respects, that they should, In this case, plow the land and sow the grain. But if there is not time, the vines must be turned under with a heavy plow, and the land harrowed for the grain. The use of the drill in planting these crops is recommended. The field that was drilled at the Atlantio farm the past season yielded one third more than that planted broadcast. If it is intended to put land in grain a second year, etc., etc., as soon as a crop is harvested turn the stubble under with a two horse plough, and repeat the process of preparation by sowing cow peas and ash-elemont as already de scribed, The peas have been sowed broad. cast at these farms, but every one will of course sow and cultivate them in the manner experience teaches him to be the best. *Note-The quantity of vetch seed to be sowed to the acre is not. given because the plant was already on the Atlantic and Stono farms when these experiments were begun, and no experience has been had on this point. But it seeds abundanta 13', and a few plants will cover the land with it in a short time. Seed of our vetch is not an article of comm)erce andl persons must collect6 it for themselves in the months of April and May. tNote-,The vines at this time (about the 1st of October) being too tough to be cut with a coulter on our light lands, it has been found be,n to roll the land and wvith care get a clean cut furrow through the field by taking the vines as they accumulate before the plough, and putting them in the furrow. After this there is no *diflculty The vetch comes up in December, lives through tho winter, and . dies in the spring and early - summer, Then the grass shoots and must be cut fromn time to time in the course of the summer, when ripe for the mower. The meadow is then es.. tablished. 3. The ilanner of Maintaining the Fertiity/ of the Meadiot.-Thbis is managed through means of the ash element~ and vetoh. Every autuma, when the grass has died down, scatter over the meadow Ave hundred pounds to one thousand pounds of ash element per acre, The quantity is to be determined'by the weight of hay taken frons the 1land ; if is two to three tons to tb~ acre, five hundred ponund. pas will be sufficient, and i tI~9' as the weight is great of the ash emnt 'I41wb
