Scientific Experiments in Agriculture.
8<eiiig Dr. Mcliryde, the Direc
tor of the State’s Expciimeutal
Stations, passing through town
w ilh Mr. J. D. McOall on Tuesday
last, the editor of The News
grasped the opportunity to gain a
lew facts in regard to the Daring-
ton Station tiy diiviug out and
interviewing the two gentlemen
named. When we arrived upon
i he scene, they had just finished a
tour of the Farm and werestiuniug
themselves upon the front piazza
of the Supeitu'eiideui’s house,
whbe discussing lire various mat
ters which cam an ler llu-ii super
vision. Dr. McBivde, who, by-
ibe-way, is lo-kiug reiuaikably
wi-il, hm health, to all ap|iearaiices,
liav.ng improved wonderfully dors
mg ihe past year, readily agreed to
submit himselt to a short iuterview
concerning the Station. The Doc
tor expresses himself as suupiy de-
i^h ed with tbe experiments which
bu'clueu conducted here during
he p si a- s »u. It i? impossible
in b in to give to Hie public just ,.t
his t me any detailed account ol
lie n Milt' which have been ur
iredat, but he proposes to make
a ful report of them to the State
3o tid of Agriculture iu February
next.
In Doctor McBryde’s opinion the
plat of cotton which has tarned out
st is No. 157 ; this pint was fer
tilized with 33 pounds of sods.
L'iiere have been picked from it
already, on three si pamte picking-*,
50 pounds ot se»d cotton, au aver
age ot 1121) pounds .otheac.e,
each ol the | l..t« being one twen
tieth of au • ere m area. It is
thought that there is still enough
cotton lelt on the s alk to tiring the
average up to 1600 or 1700 poamls,
whmh is sotui thing more than a
bale to tbe acre; considerably
more, in fact, when we consider
tuat this plat is now minus several
ot its very choicest stalks, which
were taken from it to be sent to tbe
Augusta Exposition The soil at
this paiticular poiut is extremely
light, allowing tne value of lertili-
zeis to be fairly tested. By com
parison, le; us notice Flat No. 151,
quire near at hand, which was not
fertilized at ab. Otherwise it re
eeived the same attention as Us
more favored companion, No. 157,
but after the same number of pick
ings as were giveu to the latter,
only 51 pounds of se- d cotton were
gathered ! Just think of the dif-
leicuce! Mr. McCall is satisfied
that the whole area planted iu ex
perimental cotton will average
1,090 pounds to the plat, or cou
siderably more tbau half a bale to
the acre, noiwitbaiandiug the fact
that out of the 203 plats planted,
22 of them were absolutely without
fertilizers of any kind.
Iu the portion of the Farm de
voted to experiments in the differ
ent varieties of seed, the yield Irom
the Rogers setd has b -en the great
est up to this lime It will be re
meinb. red that these varieties were
planted iu the very same kind ol
soil, as tar as it was possible to gel
them similar, and that they receiv
ed ex icily l no same care and tre.U-
m« ut, in order that the t st ■-•s to
varieties might be made as lair as
ims-tblo. The most >leur.nod
