Excerpt from The Southern Planter, Vol. 3: Devoted to Agriculture, Horticulture, and the Household Arts; March 1843 I congratulate neighbor Drummond on his conversion to early planting. I have tried the experiment myself, and find that corn planted early will not grow as tall, but will yield more grain, and that of better quality, for p it will weigh more to the bushel than the late planting. A writer on Forest Trees, in your August number, 1842, observes that old field pine is of little value. Now I consider a grove of such pines exceedingly valuable for garden posts, or posts of any kind; if properly prepared, they will last as long as locust or any other timber. My mode of treatment is' as follows: I take a drawing knife and draw of the bark as the tree stands, as high up as I want to use it in this situation the tree, which will not die, remains a twelvemonth, when, in consequence Of the sun's having drawn the rosin to the surface, it will have become a solid' bulk of lightwood and will be ready for use.
