Dss2 Ploughins Preventing Rust In
Wheat

Ma. EproR; On passing through the
States, North and South, / find the
plowing very thin. Il have conversed
with many planters, and inquired their
reasons for this shallow blowing. Some
inform me that if they plow deep. the
rains will wash all the earth of the hills;
while others say that il will require an
other horse, and that their lands would
soon become so rough that the seed
would not vegetatc. In this State. Tor
the last two years, wheat has suffered
much from rust, which il caused, part
". by thin plowing. Wheat is plant
that has been found rooted at the depth
Of i6 inches; and if a plow Of sufficient
strength for two horses were used, so
as to penetrate the earth to the depth
Of 6 or 8 inches, and narrowed we'll,
there would then be loose soil sufficient
for the root to gather strength to sup
port the stalk, and Gil the ear with good
grain; besides, the sun would not have
the effect that il now has.
Some give as reasons for pursuing
their course. that food Tor the extra
horse is too scarce and dear, and labor
too high. To such reply: Lay down
some Of your old lands in grass; you
will then have good hay for the winter,
and grass for pasture. Iwould not re-
commend folding in this country. Land
is abundant, and labor not high. Hors-
es would live on grass for seven OF
eight months, without corn. which
would be a great saving.
II is true your hills wash, and il il
caused mainly by blowing only to the
depth Of two or three inches. In DIR,
weather your lands become perfectly
hard; and in wet seasons the heavy
rains cannot penetrate into the soil--
the weight Of water is too great for III,
loose earth. and il is washed Of thu
hills. Ii your lands were plowed only
six inches deep, and then made fine BY
the roller and harrow, this washins
would, in a great measure, be prevent
ed. In England, il is not uncommon
TO use roller, of two tons weight
twice on the same ground, before sow
ing the seed, as the land is 50 rough
the harrow is then used-thc same roll
er applied again. and then others Of les
weight. BY adopting this plan, you
hills would not wash, but would receive
the rain just as sponge absorbs tn
water.
Another reason for not plowing deep
/ am told is, that the soil is not WORT
the expense of turning deep, and tina
the lands would soon be ruined. Their,
is weed in this State, which. in Eng
land, is called the Dock. Ihave foun'
this weed growing here as luxuriantl.
as on the richest grazing lands in Eng
land, with its roots from IL to l6 inch
es deep. This fact is sufficient for m
to pronounce the soil good to that depth
as no root will penetrate into a sol
where there is no food to support it.

"what terrible thing poverty must

standing at the window Of luxurious
ly furnished room. impervious to the
cold piercing wind that was raging
without. The soft Wilton carpets
yielded to the foot-the heavy velvet
curtains shielded the large deep win

arms invited the idle and weary, and

ful porcelain and richly chased silver.

The mother smiled fondly on the lit
