Barton,'(Prcsident, presiding and Mr. Kirk Robinson, Secretary. After the usual opening business was acted upon, the {'resident proceeded to call for individual reports oi tho amount planted und present promise of tho col ton crop. Fvery member respond ed, and from a summary of all the reports it. may safely be stated that this crop will yeild in the fall about the same crop as the last. Reports of the oat crou was next, called and the members, with few exceptions, gave most flattering and i encouraging accounts of the p resellt crop. Many hud planted double the quantity of last yeai's. plnuti'*g ami in better land; others reported one-thirl more, while none p'an ted less. This speaks well for our farmers and they will find to their great satisfaction that there will be bread enough and to spare; that a s pirit of independ ence w ill be enjoyed scarcely droamed of heretofore; ami that an advance w ill be rn ade in money yielding crops which will give prosperity to the entire County Some interesting and very instructive information was gathered in this connection concern ing the raising of oats by then.se of the pea as a manure It was gener ally agreed that the cow pen, of our ordinary varieties, was the best to precede oat-*. By sown ng ibis pea in the spring, at the rate of from one to two bushels per acr and plowing them under previous to planting oats ill the fall, double the viel 1 of the crop was obtained. Indeed. Mr. W. A. Maekey .-aid, three^years ago he planted a pciceofiam! in oats that yielded a crop so trilling, it was scarcely worth the trouble of gather ing. The next spring ho planted ?peas on the land 'and turned flicm tiiider, and planted *ats which gave a satisfactory je.rrjp* .Me again planted planted biso its. Now there is not an inch of ih> land that hits not a splendid crop of o ils. tie also ad vanced the belief that cotnmou salt and ashes would prevent rust iu wheat. It was said'thai Dr Ravcncl re commended tho Rebel pea as the best variety for mauureal p rpors-'s from the tact that they produced more vine and roots than any other variety. Mr. Midler said he believed one variety of wheat, the George Crange j Uns! Prool W heat, which he planted ! was indeed a mot proof wheat, this was attested by planting two other j varieties in tin-same field and in close proximity, both ofwhich rusted badly. Ail the se? I of this wheat are engaged already by parties for next planting. Tin- President recommended an ex periment to the members as worth trying on wheat and oats. Plant during the spring two bushels of cow I peas per acre and use 500 pounds of the ash clement During the fall months plow the crop under, and plant w heat or oats. .M si satisfact ory results had been obtained by this proeess in other localities and he be I Moved tin- same elfuct would follow j the .rial here. He also stated, on j the authority ol Mr. DauneHy in the j Fork, I hut steeping w'heal in sulphur ; won d prevent riM i . Mr. NVannamaker asked to be in formed whether twenty bushels of (bad cotton seed was worth its much a> the stnne quantity of live seed for manureV In answer to this request ii was generally agreed, the live seed was the better Dr. d. v . Hoi man believed (hat seed with the oil ex 1 pressed, was as good as live seed; that ammonia escaped from the dead seed . through the pioee.-ses'offermentation j and the oil remained, which was per I ftetly worthless as plant food. Mr M. J. Keller asserted that he w o hi hither gi o 20 cunts per bush el lor live seed, than 10 cents, for dead seed, In this connection it was thought that dead seed msi one forth I its value at least. Mr. Mnckoy obtained the best re stilts by putting his cotton seed in the stables as be hauled them from tho gin ui)-! allowing horses to trample on them till needed for manure. Dr. W. F. Barton's plan lor using cottonseed and stable manure is the following: For corn, use 12 bushels of cotton seed und 100 pounds ot acid phos phate, mixed. For cotton, use the same quantity ofslahle manure and dissolved bone, mixed. J)r. Bowman and Mr. J. J. Sallcy make a comp so heap of one layer of stable manure a foot deep and one of cotton seed the same, alternating until the heap he large enough, clos ed with St iblo manure. Twenty hitshc Is of this mixture per acre gave 25 bushels of conn per t?cre. Prof. Bibikov advises tho use of stable manure alone; cotton seed should be used mixed with lime, marl is bettor, which c ?uso the seed to give out ammonia and then ^absorbs it again. Lime may bo scattered over a (iclil where stable manure had been use, for ihe same purpose. The prof, had on exhibition three tea plants and a few of the opium puppy which be recommends to our people as a step - towards independence ae well as profit. Tiiere being no further business the meeting adjourned to tho upper room w here an equal feast was in waiting for the body.
