[OOK<M.UUei> FROM LAST WKKK ]
Aiiother prominent cause of the ilisappeai -
ance of humus is too mucli rest. Land
should not lie out more than one year,
when it should be thoroughly stirred with
the turn-plow, repeatedly, by the cultiva
tion of some crop-plant. One year’s rest
doubles the amount of soluble phosphoric
acid, while the insoluble silicate of putash is
changed into the soluble nitrate and car
bonate of potash ; ami one year i* sufficient
to change vegetable matter into its proxi
mate principles of carbonic acid and amonia.
thereby setting free its mineral substances,
while two or more years of idleness may
change the soluble phosphoric acid and pot
ash into insoluble neutral salts and resolve
the carbonic acid and amonia into its ulti
mate elements, viz: carbon, hydrogen, oxy
gen and nitrogen, while all that might have
been gained by absorption is lost, from the
fact that the land has not been pulverized by
the plow. Now, science has established the
fact beyond peradventure. that while plants
flourish in the proximate principles of hu
mus, they sicken and die surrounded with
its ultimate elements* and that phosphoric
acid and potash may abound in the soil in
the form of neutral salts and at the same
time be worthless, as these neutral salts are
insoluble in water.
Still another cause of the disappearance
of humus, and also phosphoric acid and pot
ash, is the injudicious use of nitrogenous
fertilizers, such as Peruvian and Ouanape
guanos. As too much whiskey causes a
man to live twice as fast as he should, in
like manner have these fertilizers stimulated
our lands, already poor in mineral salts and
humus, to the point of expansion--the nat
ural result of a production not commen
surate with their producing capacity. It is
a well established physiological fact that a
drink of whiskey on an euipty stomach is
most pernicious, as, in the absence of food,
it attacks the lining coats of the stomach and
intestines, while the stimulant is carried
more rapidly by the blood to every part of
the system, thereby producing sudden intox
ication. Then, gentlemen, be sure that you
give your poor starving lauds breakfast,
dinner ami supper before you apply the
stimulants, or you will produce vegetable
drunkenness in the form of early decay,
shedding, tiring or rust. The concentrated
nitrogen fertilizer, with the aid of waterand
carbonic acid, have dissolved larger quanti
ties of the mineral salts and hence a larger
plant with more fruit, is developed and as
wo cannot make something of nothing, the
vegetable maUer and the scarcer inorganic
elements, such as phosphoric acid and pot
ash, are extracted from the soil to the point
of exhaustion.
We venture the assertion that no man will
attempt to refute the pateut fact that the
larger portion of our cleared lands have
done nothing but rest since emancipation,
and yet how do they stand in regard to pro
ductiveness ? How will they compare to
ante bdlum days? No one will deny the fact
also, that thousand acre farms were run be
fore the war, with tolerable success, where
not more than one acre in a hundred was
manured ; but the cutter and bull-tongue
plow ran late and early and the land had
nearest. In support of this, we cite the
plantation of the late Jackqueline Gee, a
man known to most of us; and a man who
always had coru to sell, with an abundance
of ready cash in the hands of his factor in
Charleston. Nor was he by any means
miserly, but spent his money liberally, He
worked a large, poor plantation, that had
been tilled for generations, and made proba
bly enough manure for the garden, potato-
patch and a pet piece of cotton. He annual
ly planted hundreds of acres of poor land in
corn that trsseled in June and July at the
astonishing height of three and four feet ;
but these identical little stalks received five
and six workings with the turn plow, and
bore from one to two ears of corn with their
ends almost resting on the ground. Many
other plantations might be mentioned but
we consider this sufficient for our purpose.
We are of opinion, Mr. President and
Gentlemen, that the institution ofslavery, es
pecially in the older States, wouM have bro
ken down, had not the fertility of the soil been
kept up the diligent and constant use of
the plow.
3rd. How may vegetable matter, phos
phoric acid and potash be restored to our
soil ? By a diligent and continuous use of
the turn plow and subsoil, both in the pre
paration for and cultivation of our crops,
and in turning under green matter and stub
ble. By a judicious rotation of crops; by
hauling surface and pine straw when it will
pay ; by making and saving all the manure
that we possibly can from man, beast and
fowl, and by purchasing the fertilizers best
adapted to our respective soils.
In our eagerness to bring prominently for
ward what we conceive to be the first most
important and cheapest way of increasing
our vegetable matter, viz : By pulverization
with the plow we are liable to be misunder
stood ; and hence we repeat, that we endorse
every conceivable way of making manure,
provided it does not cost more than it is
worth. But, we say, that the circumstances
must be extremely favorable, where a farmer
could better afford to haul pine straw, on
even a stiff red clay soil, than to accomplish
the same end by turning under weeds or
peaviues. Two hands and a mule can culti
vate twenty-five acres of land, and one of
these hands and the mule can manure the
same number of acres broadcast iu about
twenty days by turning under weeds or pea-
vines, while the other hand can engage in
other work. How long will it take the same
mule and both hands to broadcast twenty-
five acres with pine straw? We suppose
about six months. Again. Pine slraw con
tains no potash, or only a trace and no nitro
gen at all; while the peavine is both a nitro
genous and potash plant. Pine straw is a
pretty good absorbent and should be used
only on horpe and cow lots, and always in
connection with mud or rich surface soil, as
the straw alone allows the urine and juices of
animal manu-es to leak through into the
earth beneath, and the ammonia to pass into
the air above ; while this is prevented by
the presence of good soil or mud. This is
obvious when we consider that pine straw
only unites mcohanicaily with these juices
by the absorption of cappillary attraction,
while the mineral constituents of the sur
face-soil or mud unite with them chemically
and hence do not part with them readily.
Leibig says that clay parts with ammonia
only at a white heat, (water with lime or
sugar). In horse and cow lots, pine straw
performs anot her important mechanical office
by rendering the mass porous, thereby ad
mitting the air, which, we all know, is nec-
cssary for the process of decomposition.
It is impossible to attach too much impor
tance to the peavine as a manurial agent
Being a potash plant it sends a long tap root
into the substrata of the earth and procures
a considerable amount of potash, which is
distributed on and near the surface, if it is
turned under with the plow. Being a hear
ty feeder, itspreads forth an immense sur
face area of broad leaves and porous vines
which absorb ammonia and carbonic acid
from the atmosphere above. The tendency
of potash is to sink down into the earth from
the leaching effects of heavy rains ; and the
tendency of ammonia is to rise up, its vol
atility being acted upon by the rays of the
sun. Hence the peavine reaches above and
below for materials with which to maintain
the equilibrium of fertility.
Another important item that should be
remembered by all who desire the improve
ment of the soil ia.this: We cannot make
nomethiny out of nothing. Every cow, hog or
sheep slaughtered or sold, is so much min
eral matter taken indirectly from the soil.
Every bushel of corn, wheat, rye, oats, po
tatoes, rice, peas; every ba.e of cotton, every
pound of fodder, shucks, straw anil hay con
tains a certain amount of mineral matter
taken directly from the soil.
Now we know that the organic elements
of the soil, enter invariably iu deffinite pro
portionate quantities, by weight, into the
formation of every plant. Hence if any one
of these elements be lacking, the plant can
not be produced ; or if any one of these ele
ments be scarce, the plant will be small and
unproductive in proportion to the scarcity
of this element, no matter how abundant
may be the amount of all the other elcmehfs
in the soil. For instance : A rich soil will
will not produce wheat if potash be lacking.
Hence we see the importance of keeping the^
soil supplied with all the elements of fertili
ty. Most of them, as we have already re
marked, are permanent and inexhaustible,
but we should be sure, especially in the long
leaf pine lands, that lime, potash phosphoric
acid and vegetable matter be supplied. We
do not burn a pine tree to procure ashes for
the manufacture of soap or gunpowder, but
auoak tree; hence the predominant growth
of this country certainly indicates a scarcity
of potash.
To sum up, Mr. President and Gentlemen
we are of the opinion that the best and only
way to improve our soil is, to keep the turn
plow and subsoil constantly running, for the
double purpose of pulverizing the soil and
turning under vegetable matter ; to avoid
resting our lands more than one year; to
pursue a system of rotation of crops suitable
to our lands; to make all the stable and lot
manure possible ; to haul surface and mud;
if it be rich and the distance short ; and to
buy fertilizers containing lime, potash and
phosphoric acid, with more or less ammo
nia according to the abundance or scarcity
of nitrogen in our soils.
Most respectfully submitted,
A, W. Ross, Chairman.
Rust iu Cotton.
[From the Orangeburg Democrat]
The subject of rust iu cotton will only be
interesting to those in the county living be
low the clay belt. We all know clay lands
do not rust cotton, but continue to mature
fruit until frost. Why they do this will be
apparent as we proceed. What is rust in I
cotton ? Some will tell you it is a want of |
vegetable matter in the soil ; others that it is
caused by an excess of moisture; others
again that cool nights produce it, and I have
heard some old fanner say, it always starts
from poke weed growing near the cottoi •
Now all these different opinions prove con
clusively that this scourge of our cotton
fields has been having its own way, not be
cause there is uo remedy for it, but because
the disease, if I am allowed the term in this
connection, is so liule understood. It can
not be for want vegetable matter in the soil,
for we frequently see cotton rusting in soils
abundantly supplied with vegetable matter.
I’ll admit it does correct it to a limited ex
tent. I have seen cotton almost entirely de
stroyed by rust in bottoms, where there was
an abundance of vegetable humus washed in
from surrounding hills. Neither can moist
ure be the prevailing cause, or the clay
lands would also suffer by rust in wet sea
sons ; and the same reason may be assigned
why cool nights do not cause it. The poke
weed does not grow everywhere, and par
ticularly about these rusty cottcn patches.
The blame cannot be laid at its door. Then
if none of these opinions advanced are the
cause of rust, what.is it that causes cotton
to rust on nearly all the lauds below the cot
ton or clay belt ? My answer is the want of
sufficient potash in the soil. And now for
the proof. Why does rust start and spread
from a poke weed grow ing near cotton ? Not
solely because it takes the disease from the
poke, but because the poke has exhausted
all the available potash iu the soil near it,
and the cotton near, being the first to feel
the want of potash, show symptoms of rust.
The analysis of poke and Irish potato vines
show that they contain more potash than
any other vegetable product. We are also
taught that clay soils abound in potash,
the absence of rust in cotton on them, and in
consequence their superior adaptability to
cotton. In 1873 l applied fifty bushels un-
leached ashes to an acre of land that had
been rusting cotton badly. The cotton
remained green until frost, and matured
fruit to the top, when the adjoining
cotton failed to mature any top crop, and
some of it dying with rust the first of Sep
tember. That str : p of land has not rusted
cotton since. The potash in the ashes was
what the soil needed to keep the cotton from
rusting. The following year one of my
hands put a sack of Kainit or German pot
ash salt on one acre through the middle of a
seven acre patch of cotton. The lan<’ had
been in cultivation for years, light, sandy
oak land and rusted cotton badly. In the
fall it was a pleasure to show this acre strip
to my friends, (I think you, Mr. Editor, saw
it.) while the cottoa on both sides of it was
demuded of leaves and all the top bolls dead
before half grown. This acre remained
green until frost and matured its fruit to the
top. This last experiment itself was evi
dence conclusive to my mind that-potash was
the remedy for rust in cotton. I have since
noticed the same results in similar experi
ments. I believe on land* thoroughly drain
ed, (and no other kind should be planted in
cotton,) and not entirely destitute of vege
table matter ; potash in every instance will
correct the tendency to rust in cotton. By
reMt and rotation the tendency to rust can
be corrected in a great measure but when
the lands arc corrected every year, and clay
is not near the surface, potash must be sup
plied either in unlimited amounts of trash
and litter from the woods, stable manure,
ashes, or some of the commercial prepara
tions of potash. J. W. 8.

Southdown Sheep,
We have a letter fro .ia well-known farm
er of Winona county, asking if the South-
down sheep are kept on the Iowa College
farm, and tor our opinion as to their prov
ing a profitable breed for keeping in large or
small Hocks on our prairie farms.
On the college farm are kept small flocks
of American Merinos, Cotswolds and South-
downs. With similar care the Southdowns
have taken the lead in uniform and perfect
health, rapidity of increase, and pecuniary
profit. So far as our observation has extend
ed this has been the general experience in
handling small flocks of this breed in all
parts of the State, We do not know of a
large flock in the State. With first-clash care
it may be possible that in flocks numbering
three or four hundred the Merinos may
prove most profitable, But the keeping of a
very large flock.on one farm is at least, ques
tionable on the score of profit or satisfaction.
A system of mixed farming with a small
flo*k of sheep on each place would soon do
more in the way of creating home independ
ance than any number of homilies on politi
cal economy or finance. The busy hum of
woolen machinery would soon be heard on
interior prairies, and our pocketbooks would
be less depleted by the purchase of shoddy
goods.
A little careful thought will enable any
one to perceive that the Spanish proverb,
“Wherever the foot of sheep touches, the
land is turned into gold,’ is far from being a
myth. Some of the methods of conversion
are by no means mysterious or difficult to
comprehend ; the conversion of cheap corn
and provender into form for transportation ;
the bountiful supplies of soft flannels and
cloths for beds and clothing, at little felt
cost; the enriching and sweetening of the
soil on which they feed ; the destruction of
noxious weeds, bushes and brambles; the
cheap and convenient supply of healthful
and nu'ritious meat to take the place of the
salt junk—all these are tangible conversions
not only into gold, but into solid home com
forts.
Many will admit the durability of small
flocks on our farms, but will urge the want
of suitable fences. The Southdown sheep is
the easiest of all animals to restrain and
keep within the desired bounds. The wire,
rail fence, board fence or hedge, that prarie
steers would totally disregard, will duly be
respected by them, if well fed.
The sheep mania, a few years since, with
its Hocks, gave rise to common impression
that the sterile hills of New England were
more valuable—acre for acre—than our fer
tile prairies for profitable sheep breeding.
Conditions as to size ot flock, shelter, &c.
being the same, we now know this belief not
to be well founded, even with the Merinos.
The Southdowns find on our rich praines
even more perfect conditions for maintaining
health ami high condition than on their na
tive heaths and turnip fields. We only
reed combined systematic effort on the part
of our people in order, in the very near fu
ture. to introduce the flock into every rural
picture upon our prairies, just as we see it
introduced iu England and New England
home pictures, both realond upon canvas.
To fully realize the present impcrtance of
this subject let us ask : Where would old or
New Enfiland stand to-day on the score of
thrift and prosperity, if as nearly destitute
as we are of the animals witli the golden
hoof. — College Quarterly,
