WHAT I KNOW OF FARMING.
BY HORACE GREELEY
MU
GROWING TIMBER-TREE-PLANTING
In ray judgment, the proportion of
a small farm that. should be perma
nently devoted to trees (other than
fruit) is not less than one-fourth ; while
hundred acres
in area, that proportion should be not
less than one-third, and may be often
profitably increased to one-half. lam
thinking of such as aro in good part
superficially rugged and rocky, or san
dy and sterile, such as New-England,
.eastern New York, northern New Jer
sey; 'With both slopes'of the , Alleghe
nies, as well as, the western third of
our continent, abound in. it may be
that it is advisable to 'be content With
a smaller proportion of timber in the
Prairie States, and the broad, fertile
interval& which embosom most of our
great rivers fo,r at least a part of their
course ; bu,t,ljdoubt it:, And there is
scarcely, aifarm in the whole country,
outside of the great primitive forests in
which Openingt have but recently beep
made;'in which some tree planting is
not urgently required.
"Too much land," . you will hear as
signed on every side as a reason for
pimfarming-and meagre crops.. -Ask
ab fariner '.lsfew 'England,
in Virginia, in, icentucky,,or .*ie
Ala
bama, the Crops of his section aro
in' the average no better, and the an
swer, three times in four, will be, "Our
farmers hilve' CVOS much land"--that is,
not too much absolutely, but too much
relatively to their • eaptal • - et;ock, and
gencial 'ability to till effectively. The
habitual. grower of poor crops will
proffer this explanation' quite as freely.
and 'frequently iati ihi's more thrifty
Sucighbor. And what every one as
serts must have a basis of truth.
NoWil'ad not mean 'to ) quarr'cl with
the instinct which • prompts ,my coun
trymen to buy and hold too much land.
They feel, as I do, that land is still
cheap almost anywhere in this coun
tryc'heap, if not in view of the in
come now derived from it., certainly in
eontemplatien of the price it must soon
command and . the income it might,
under better Management, be made to
IWd. Under this , conviction—or, if
itpressidp 7 eyery one is
intent on' to niore land than
he cari:PrOfitablYltilfiif nOt, more than
he,can promptly pay for.
-
What I do object to is simply this—
that thousands, who have more 'mid
than they have capital to work profit
ably, will ,persiat,in, tilling many acres,
instead of - thor6ughly 'farming one-half
or one-third so many, And getting the
rest into wood so, faiWati may be.-
acrk confident that two thirds of all our
farmers would improve their circum
stances and increase their incomes by
concentrating their efforts, their means,
their fertilizers, upon half to two-thirds
of the area they now skim and skin,
and giving the residue back to timber.
srowing..• •
• In My own•hilly; rehicy, often taiggy
Westchester—probably within six of
being thc ! ohlest Agricultural County
io the Union—l am confident that ten
ihoUsand acres might to-morrow be
given back to forest with profit to the
owners and advantage to all its inhab
itants. -It is a fruit-growing, milk
producing, truck-farming county; ad
joining the.greatest city of the New
World ;:hdnee, ono wherein land can
be cnitivitied as Profitably as almost
anywhere elan—yet I am satisfied
that half its surface may be more ad
vantageously devoted to timber than
to grass or, tillage., Nay : I doubt.that
ono acre in'a kiutidr'ed of rocky land -
that is, land ribbed or dotted“with
rocks that the bar or rock-hook can
not lift from their beds, and which it
will not as yet pay to blast—is now
tilled to profit, or ever will be until it
shall be found advisable to clear them
utterly of stone breaking through or
rising' within ' two feet of the surface.
The time will doubtless arrivolivwhich
many fields Will pay for clearing of
g'tcolie that would not to-day; these, I
urge, should bo given up to wood now
and kept wooded until the hour shall
have i struck•for ridding them of every
impediment to the stoady progress of
both the surface and the subsoil plow.
,
. .
Were all the' ocky crest's and rug.
ged acclivities of' , this County bounte
ously wooded once moro, and kept so
for a generation, our floods would be
loss injurious, our springs ,aafailing,
and'our streams more constant and
equalablq ; our blasts would be less
bitter and our gales less destructive to
fruit ;, we should have vastly more
birds to delight us by their melody
and aid us in our not ; very successful
war with devouring insects; we should
grow peaches, cherries, and other deli•
cate fruits, which the violent caprices
of our seasons, the .remorseless 'deans
to.tions of our visible and invisible in
sect enemies; have all but annihilated;
and , we should keep more cows and
make more milk on two-thirds of the
land now devoted to grass than we ac
tually do from..thp.whole of it. And
what ii true of Westchester is measu
rably true of every rural county in
the union.
I have said that I believe in cutting
trees air well as : in growing them
have not said, and do not mean to say,
that I believe in cutting everything
clean as you go. That was once pro
per in Westchester; it is still advisable
in forest coveted regions, where the
sun must be lot in before crops can be
grown; but, in nine cases out of ten,
timber should be thinned or culled out
rather than cut off; and for every troo
taken away, at least two should be set
out or planted.
We have pEetty well outgrown the
folly of letting every apple tree bear
such fruit as it will ; though in the or•
chard of my father's little farm in Am
herst, N. H., whereon 1 was born, no
tree had over been grafted when I
bade adieu to it in 18201 and I pre-
Sumo none has been to this day. By
this time, almost every farmer realizes
that he can't afford to grow little,
gnarly, villainously sour or detestably
bitter-sweet apples, when, by duly set
ting a graft at the cost of two dimes,
be makes that identical tree yield
Greenings or Pippins at least as boun
teously. I presume the cumulative
experience of fifty or_sixty generations
of apple-growers has ripened this con•
clnsion. Why do they not infer read
ily and generallylthae- growing indif
ferent timber where the, best and most
valued would grow as rapidly, is a stu
pid, costly blunder?, ; It seems:to me
that -whoever has attained ,the convic
tion that apple-trees should be grafted
ought-to
,know tbat,it is wasteful to
grow Bed Oak, Beech, White, Maple,
and Alder, where White Oak, Ilieko•
ry, Locust and
,White, Pine, might he
grown with' — eqUar fanility,"in' equal
luxuriance,_ provided the right seeds
were planted,-and- a little pains taken
to keep down, for a year or two, the
shoots spontaneously sent up by the
wrong ones.
North of the Potomac and east of
the Ohio, and, I presume, in limited
districts elsewhere, rocky, sterile
woodlands, costing $2 to $5O per acre,
according to location, &c., aro the
cheapest property to be bought in the
United States. Even though nothing
were done with them but keep out fire
and cattle and let the young trees
grow as they will ononey can be more
profitably and safely invoked in lands
covered by young timber - than in any
thing else. The parent, who would
invest a few thousand's for the benefit
of children or grandchildren still
young, may buy woodlands which will
be worth twenty times their present
cost within the nest twenty years.—
Butbetter even than this would it be
to buy up rocky, craggy,, naked hill
sides and eminences which have been
pasturedrto death, and, shutting out
cattle inflexibly, scratch 'these over
with plow, mattock,- hoe, or pick, as
circumstances shall dictate, plant them
thickly with Ohosinit, Walnut; Hicko
ry, White Oak, and the seeds of locust
and White Pine. I say Locust, though
not yet certain that this tree must not
be started in garden. or nursery beds
and transplanted when two or three
years old, so puny and feeble is it at
the outset, and so likely to be smoth
ered under leaves or killed out by its
more favored neighbors. I have ex
periments in progress not yet matured,
which may shed light on this point
before I finish these essays:.
Plant tbickly,.and of diverse kinds,
so as to. cover the ground promptly
and choke out seeds and shrubs, with
full purpose to thin and prune as cir
cumstances shall dictate.
Many farmers are averse to planting
timber, because, they , think, nothing
can bo realized therefrom for the next
twenty or thirty years, which is as
long as they expect to live. But this
is a grave miscalculation. Let us sup
pose a rocky, hilly pasture-lot of ton
or twenty acres rudely scratched over
as I have suggested, and thickly seed
ed with hickory nuts and white oak
acorns only; within five years it will
yield abundantly of hoop-poles, though
the better, more promising half be left
to mature, as they should be; two
years later, another and larger crop of
hoop poles may be cut, still sparing
the best; and thenceforth a valuable
crop of timber may be taken from that
land; for if cut at the proper season,
at least two thrifty sprouts will start
from, every stump; and so that wood
will yield a clear income each year
while its beet trees are steadily grow
ing and maturing. I do not advise
restriction to these two species of tim
ber; but I insist that a young planta
tion of forest-trees may, and should
yield a clear income in every year af
ter its fourth.
—But this paper grows too long,
and I must postpone to the next my
more especial suggestions to young
farmers with regard to tree-planting.
