Report of the Commissioner Of Agriculture.

Report OF the Commissioner OF Agriculture
The Commissioner Of Agriculture in his
report accompanying The Presidents mes
sage, speaking of the needs Of southern
agriculture, says: sit must be conceded
that the cause of agriculture in the Southern
States has not been conducted with that
care, skill, and regard for ultimate results
which have characterized the operations of
farmers in other States. While their lands
are continuously devoted to cotton and to-
bacco until they have arrived at q state of
exhaustion, those of the north are con-
tinually improving by rotation of crops,
which is absolutely essential to the life OF
the soil itself, and without which farming
and planting had better be abandoned.
'Elhese impressions have induced me to
turn my attention to these States to seek
some mode by which the influence of this
department may be directed to benefit
them; to find out whether their imple-
ments, and especially their seeds, may not
be greatly impro yed, and how in the dis
tribution Of seeds and plants we may best
reach those to whom they may be proiita-
bly, sent" L
He says that the Southern States suffer
greatly in their interests for want of grasses,
in the use of which their productions would
be greatly increased by rendering a rotation
of crops necessary. Clover, with its deep
roots and rye grass strong grower--wlll
we'll endure the hot sun Of the South.
In referring to the distribution of seeds,
the Commissioner says he is satisfied that
the mode heretofore pursued is erroneous.
The quantity sent is entirely too small for
even an experiment. A pint or quart OF
wheat, oats, or other cereal, cannot be
successfully grown, and such experiments
almost uniformly fail because the quantity
is too small. Itwould be far better to put
half or whole bushel Of seed in the hands
of one conscientious and careful person
than to divide the same quantity among ten
or twenty. s
