THE QUALITY OF OUR SOIL.


criticism, EN- Tracing widely differing
opinions. Some men have been
most emphatic in condemnation,
seeing only a remote, future, use for
1t, in the time when all other lands
are taken up, leaving the plateau as
a last resort. Others have gone to
the opposite extreme, with unstinted
praise. Another, and an increasing
class, maintains the soils adapta-
blllty to many and profitable pro-
ductionS. This latter criticism is
undoubtedly correct, and those who
have been cultivating the soil the
last three years, as settlers from the
Old Country and other sections of
this, are in position to say, as
literally by their fruits they have
shown, that naturally, with its original
humus, it will yield a fair return,
bat with intelligent cultivation give
Il product closely competing with
that of older sections.
The too prevalent system of farm
ing in this country, the wasteful and
unlntelligent practice of taking all
the earth will give, and putting
nothing into it i'll return, will not
do upon the plateau, any more than
it has been found to answer upon
the rich lands of Ohio, where corn
originally gave eighty bushels to the
acre, but has now fallen to about
forty. In the preparation of the
soil common sense and science 40
as necessary as the soil itself, let the
latter be of what quality it may,
and for continuous productive farm
ing one cannot be of service without
the other
We suppose there IS not onre"orti
II more remarkable instance of the
grand success of scientific and prac-
teal farming than is to be seen in the
cultivation of what WAS once known
as the Jersey sands" Literally
the desert has been made to blossom
as the rose, an to-day the culture
of that tract probably equals or
excels in truitfulness, any like area
within the United States. Particu-
LARRY poor was the soil where the
furnishing town and district of
Vneland now are, but all has been
altered till to-day it is particularly
rich in farm and garden produc-
tions.
We mention Vineland and the
New Jersey farms, not entirely by
: way of comparison with the lands
of the plateau, because the origina
soil of the former bears little COM
parison with the natural soil of thu
5 latter, but for the reason that they
S show to the most sceptical, an(
= confirm the opinions of intelligen
: believers in the plateau, that tin
e Cumberland tablelands, with SOM
of the New Jersey skill, connot bu
: convert naturally better soil into a
= least as productive earth as tn
J, Jersey sands have become.
= The soil around Rugby, in qualit
1 is far before whatever the JerSe
e soil was, and each year as it i
: brought under cultivation proves t
), the farmer its genial and adaptabl
!. nature, aud that it is the possesso
s of wealth it will freely yield to tn
e energetic and skilful operator.
