Excerpt from The Farmer's Guide: Or a New Theory of Agriculture, Founded on Philosophical and Practical Principles, and Adapted to All Climates Gentlemen: - Having, after the expiration of more than thirty years, spent in the pursuit of practical Agriculture, arrived at certain conclusions entirely at variance with the old established doctrines, it is my sincere desire that I may be successful in imparting to my fellow citizens, that knowledge on the improvement of the soil. It is my object also to shew, why lands are so soon exhausted by the cultivation of certain crops, and the mode to be pursued for its preservation and resuscitation. The plan which this work proposes, will insure the cultivation of your different crops of grain and vegetables without exhausting the soil, and also will insure the restoration of those lands which have been exhausted by the following crops, viz: wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley, tobacco and any of the vegetable products. By the process here recommended, lands may be made very rich in eight or ten years, though a crop of grain, tobacco, or the grasses, be taken from each field every year.
