Excerpt from The Southern Planter, Vol. 20: Devoted to Agriculture, Horticulture, and the Household Arts, February, 1860Of all agricultural subjects, this perhaps is the most' important, and t01a Virginian, the most diificult. Experience affords us little light upon the subject. 1 The practice in Virginia, heretofore, has been to culti vatc our lands more with a view to imme diate. Profit, than with any regard to the future. All the various soils in the/coun try eastward of the mountains, haveffbeeu used 1n the same way, and the same crepsi have been cultivated by all, without regard to the fitness ofo'the soil, or to the situation of the farm. Everything that could be drawn from it has been eagerly taken, with out giving anything in return, by amelio rating creps, manure, or even rest. The land has either borne, in succession, ex hausting etops, or it has been as much or more injured by improper use of its pas ture', as\it is falsely called.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
