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.

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
