How to make one Farm equal to tn rec.

How to make one Farm equal o three.
G T. Stewart, Esq in recent Address before the
Ohio Agricultural Society thus speaks this subject:
Many farmers who are destroying the productive
of their farms by shallow work. they find that
their crops diminishing. think only of extending
their by adding acres of surface, as if they
supposed that their title deeds only gave them right
TO six inches deep of EARTH If they will take those
deeds, study their meaning, and apply the lesson 10
their fields, they will soon realize in three fold crop,
the fact that the law has given them three farms where
they supposed they had but one-n other words. that
the subso brought up and combined with top-soiis
and enriched with the atmospheric influences, and
those other elements which agricultural science will
teach them to apply TO their ground, will increase
three fold the of its productiveness. To
show TO what extent the fertility Of the soil can be
increased, refer to statement in the last Patent Of
flee Report. In the year $780, there were nine COM
petors for the premium crop of Kentucky, each
OF whom cultivated 0 acres. Their average crop was
about % bushels per At that time the average
crop of wheat per in the haryests OF Great Britain,
soil cultivated for centuries is about double that
produced on the virgin soil of Ohio. Why is this /?
Simply because British farmers educated men, ap
ply work wisely. They pay back TO The earth what
they borrow; they endeavor by every means in their
power 10 enrich their ground and in return enrches
them. If farmers, instead of lahorng TO double
their acres, would endeavor 10 double their crops they
would find it vast saving of time and toll and in
crease of profits.
Many of them never think of digging ten inches
into the soil, unless they have dreamed about crock
of gold hid in the earth but if they would set about
the work OF digging in earnest, every would find
his crock of gold, without the aid of dreams and dv
nation
We have great advantage over the British farm
ers in the fact that our farmers nearly all hold The
lands which they cultivate, in fee simple, while in
England they are chiefly enans. hiring the lands Of
the nobility, paying enormous 10 propretors be-
sides heavy taxes here comparatively light and
our farmers are their own landlords Hence they have
heen able 10 pay thee fold wages for labor those
paid in Europe pay the costs of transportation. and
yet undersel the British farmers in their own markets.
