GEN. M'DUFFIE'S LETTER.

0cN. M DOrflE y LIZ CV.
Sir The numerous and incessant de-
nunciations, to which the " Cotton Circular"
has been exposed, ever since its publication,
and the misapprehensions in which those de.
nunclations seen to have originated, render
It IN some sort, my duty, to explain the true
object of that paper, SO far as | understand
it. and to state moreover, The exact relation
that | bear TO it.
While remaining few days in New
York, on my return from Europe, | met
with two Of my friends, who were cotton
planters; and the extraordinary and artificial
state ofthe cotton trade, and its consequent
exposure TO the mercy of adverse combina-
tions, on the other side of the water, and of
every great pressure in the money markets,
either Of London or New York, became the
subject Of frequent conversation between

Two S7a dollars deducted from ten,
leaves balance of seven l21 dollars in fa-
vor of green vegetable matter. And this is
not all, it has been discovered by chemical
analysis, that while green vegetable mat.
ter contains one-fourth of manure, dry veg.
etables contain but one.seventh.
But let me take another view. Suppose
that by some Insention or improvement in
the construction of the cart and fork, hand
might increase the number ofoads carried
in a day, could one have the smallest hope
that he would accomplish twenty or lfhe
did, that is. reduce the price of certing,
leaves to 50 81 l.2 tho acre, would it be
as valuable as green vegetable matter,
which turns out nearly double the quantity
of manure? But it may be said, that one
hundred cart loads ofleaves, though con.
tanning relatively less, will turn out on ac-
count Of bulk, or quantity, or weight, more
manure than crop of rye to the acre. 10
this | reply, that toproduce the same effect
on the acre as rye, the leaves must be double
its weight and, that they are not, you
may decide, should you have ever seen the
rye in flower compared with one hundred
cart loads Of leaves s.rewed over an aero.

On Improving worn.0ut Lands.

Dear Sir,-ln your last favor you say,
that about three years ago l published
an article in yoar Journal, wherein re-
commended the owners Of poor lands to
improve them, by planting crop Of small
grain then peas, broadcast and these to
be ploughed under before hard frost, for the
next years culture" This, l said, was the
practice IN Georgia. At your request
am now prepared TO testify to the excellence
oflhe suggestion, by my own, and the ex-
perience Of others. To any kind of soil,
green mater, turned under, is ever an ad-
vantage, because it returns to the earth what
it takes and much that it has absorbed
from wafer and the atmosphere. However,
few general remarks are necessary before
| give you "my say"
II seems that near every exhausted soil
in this State, there is some material in ap.
Proclamation to revive it-that, is clay or
mari, high sandy lands, and vegetable mat.
ter in state of nature, or to be produced
by culture, nigh all Of them. And to one
or more OF these materials, must we look
for the renovation of the soil. BY mechan-
ical or chemical combinations, it may be
made susceptible of ofimprovement but after
all vegetable matter in decomposition, on
any substance, that when decomposing, will
give out the elementary principles ofvegeta.
bles, such as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen,
constitute the food ofplants. Moreover. it
will be found in the culture Of corn and cot
ton, or in any other crop planted in as large
quantities TO the hand as we do, the soil
must be invested by some material in ap-
proximity, or the yield will not pay for the
cost Of manuring- Manures that act as
chemical agents, that is that induce the de.
composition Of the vegetable matter may be
fetched from distance but it will be found
that, for any other purposes, their exPen.
slveness will not pay the planter in the yield
OF short cotton. If these premises be cor.
rect, of which my attention 10 manures has
assured me, the first questions for the owner
of poor lands to ask of himself are list.
What is the nature Of my soil lis it chiefly
clay, or mari, or sand 1; or combined Of

The one may contain more bulk, but the
former IS heavier, and will afford more ma
nure to the soil, Independent of the pea stub.
Die, the nutritious qualities of which have
been too long known to be den ed.
However, need not inform you how
much green vegetable matter is valued as
manure the books are full of its praise,
ard none presents greater number of
proofs of its effect than Chaptal's. Who
ever uses this manure should not forget that
green vegetable matter should be turned un.
der while in flower, or before j, goes to seed.
Chaptal says, page 94-"In order fully
to understand this doctrine, which appears
to me Of great importance to agriculture, it
is necessary to consider the successive
changes which take place in annual plants
duripg their growth !; first. they produce
gfeea leaves, which by coming IN conracr
with the air, receive from it the principles
of which have spoken; subsequently, the
stalks increase in size and number, and are
covered with numerous leaves, which absorb
from the atmosphere degree Of nourish-
ment suited to the increasing wants of the
plants the strength, fullness, and depth of
hue of the leaves and the stalks, particularly
Of the latter, increase in proportion to the
richness Of the soil.
This state continues ill after the period
Of Towering, when change, worthy Of
noe, takes place /; the roots dry up, the
stalks wther, and change their colors and
when fruc,i6cation is at length completed,
both roots and stalks have become mere
skeletons, which answer but little purpose
either for nourishing animals, or manuring
eurth. During this period Of vegetation,
what becomes Of the juices that were so ab-
undant in the roots and stalks7 They have
been consumed by the formation Of the
seeds.
To illustrate this, he gives the experiment
of M. Matthew de Dombasle. This gen.
tleman on The 26ih June, 1920, at their time
oil Towering. within a small space, selected
forty wheat plants ofequaI SIZE and strength,
each having three stalks bearing heads he
pulled twenty of them. with all their roots,
and left the rest to complete their iructifca.

we may conclude, that the juices contained
in plants, at the time Of towering, contri.
bu.cs to the formation of The grain in the
proportion Of 1925 81 and that the excess
of the weight Of the grain, which is 100 Al
grains, arises from the nourishment which
the plant absorbs from the air or soil, dur
Ing the two months of fructi6cation."
From this experiment, we at once see
tho importance Of turning under green
crops while in flower, or before they 60 to
seed. The effects Of this process are then.
LIST. Green matter returns to The soil nearly
double that of stubble. I'd. BY ploughiGg
i, under in flower, we have less grass to
contend with The mex, spring. Sd BY ex'
posing their roots 10 the sun or the coming
iros,s, many parasite vegetables are de-
stroyed and deconposing, add something
to the produc.iveness of The soil. 4tn. BY
the destruction of roots and parasitic vege-
tables. less manure is taken from the soil
during the winter. 9Th. This matter de-
composes and is absorbed by tho earth for

received its first required pIoughing, but IS
