NO BARE LANDS,

We have repeatedly urged, says
Southern Planter, the Importance OF
never allowing land to remain without u
crop Of some Kind upOnit. Recently we
said: .Bare land Is wasting land" This
position Is strongly supported by the re-
suits of experiments made at Rothamp-
stead, England, by Sir j. B. Lawes and
Mr.. Gilbert, just reported. They have
proved that poor arabic soil, without
vegetation, loses annually by drainage,
nitrates equivalent to 22i pounds per
acre Of sodium nitrate. And yet In the
face of such fact, farmers will persist
In turning out land to recuperate with
out sowing anything upon II, and they
will follow this up by writing to know
whether 200 pounds OF nitrate Of soda is
not sufficient dressing Of this fertilizer
TO enable them TO make that same land
produce good crop. The naked land
itself, by natural drainage, wastes more
than that amount Of this fertilizer per
acre every year It lies bare. Cover It
with q growth Of peas, clover, beans,
rye or yetches, and not only will this
natural waste be stopped but nltrates
will be accumulated In the land for the
food Of subsequent crops. II you must
turn out land from inability to cultivate
Il, at least cover II with Japan clover, to
hold aud Increase the nitrogen In the soil
until wanted again. This plant Will
grow and spread without care or atten.
ton and furnish grazing In addition to
conserving the land.
