WHRH CULTURE IN NEW YORK.

The culture Of wheat in this state, 10 an
important branch Of its rural industry. II
is q lameniable fact that large portion
OF the elements in whoa, lands, ind:spen-
sable % The successful nourishment and
maturity oflhis bread-bearing plant, have
been taken from the soil in the millions
of tons sent 10 market within the last fl
~ years.
The owners and culivators Of these
lands. know not what tits they have lost;
nor from what source the precise con-
stituent parts Of wheat can be obtained.
This article. so sup, rior FOR the manuiac-
ture Of good bread, contains elements pc.
culiar TO itself, aud hence manures form.
ed by the decomposition Of any other
plant cannot restore to an exhausted wheat
6ekl, all the ingredients contained in a
kernel Of wheat.
Our 'agricul,uris.s are consuming the
ra,c material Of this invaluable grain, at
the rate OF about eleven or twelve mil
lions Of bushels year; probably not one.
tenth OF each of the elements Of which, or
al least a portion Of them, is annually
restored 10 the soil from whence all this
grain is aiken. Now, as Heaven will
not cre.te anew one particle of matter.
whether the two and half millions Of
people in his state have an abundance Of
good cheap bread, or starve, il may not
be amtss for sensible men TO inquire. In
what way can every farmer in New York
supply his fields with the raw material
Of this impor,an, crop, and so combine
them, as to be able to manufacture bush
el of good wheat for expectation a. 60
cents, and not exhaust his soil!
An elaborate discussion of all tie Gle.
ments ,ha, enter into the composition OF
the wheat plant, and Of the various re-
sources presented to the iller of the earth,
fer The cheap collection Of those elements,
would be out Of plsce in the columns Of
daily newspaper. Suffice it TO say that,
over 81 per cen, Of such elements exist
in the atmosphere, in exhaustless guam
titles.
Having made This important discove-
ry, the French chemists were not long
in finding cheap agents TO be applied to
the soil, which by their powerful affinity
for the gaseous elements Of wheat, have
made nearly cns-half of France into one
vast field Of +" waving corn."
The writer Of this has devoted much
attem,ion to the subject Of diffusing The
knowledge tina. already exists in relation
TO this truly practical science among the
farmers Of this state; and especially OF inn
parting this knowledge to their sons.
