242. AGRICULTURE, Rotation of crops.—[further continued].

I have lately received the proceedings of the Agricultural Society of
Paris. * * * I have been surprised to find
that the rotation of crops and substitution of
some profitable growth preparatory for grain,
instead of the useless and expensive fallow,
is yet only dawning among them.—
