211. AGRICULTURE, Corn vs. pasturage.—

In every country as fully peopled as
France, it would seem good policy to encourage
the employment of its lands in the cultivation
of corn rather than in pasturage,
and consequently to encourage the use of all
kinds of salted provisions, because they can
be imported from other countries.—
