Grass as a Crop.

In complying with your request
TO send a contribution to one OF the
monthly feasts that are regularly
set before us, l scarcely know what
to offer that would prove either
interesting or instructive to a ma
jority Of your readers; but knowing
that a runious system is pursued
by most Of the farmers in the tide
water and tobacco sections of my
own State, eastern Virginia,) and
presuming that you have a large
number Of readers in those counties
my remarks shall be especially
directed to those Virginia farmers
who aie pursuing the mistaken pol
lev of a continuous cultivation of
all their available lands in the
cereals and tobacco. to the almost
total exclusion ofclover and grass
either for hay or for pasturage.
Now it IS a well known and un.
disputed fact that lands well set ii
grass, for pasturage and hay. when
ever rented or sold, will always
commanl from fifty to one hundred
per cent. more than lands in regular
cultivation that are similarly situa-
ted and equal in ali other respects
And it is Tor this reason that THE
more grass the more manure,
the more stock, tie more
mlnure, the more manure the
moe crops, sand the more crops
more income, and so on in geometri
cal ratio. So my text shall b
Grass as a CROP IN conjunction
with, or in rotation with othe
crops. Are Virginia farmers awar
that a large portion of the baled ha,
used in their State is growing north
wien it can be raised at home wit
more profit ard at much less ex
pense than either grain or tobacco
Are they ignorant Of the fact tina
this hay often commands a highe
price per pound than they receive
for their shelIed corn, (which is nov
quoted at Richmond, Va, at sbou
a cent per pound, whilst hay i
quoted from S22.00 to $4,000 pc
