THE AGiaCULTURE OF THE 



Other Green Crops and Falloiu. — In 1857 the area under all 

 other varieties of green crop was 838 acres, made up of 12 acres 

 of mangolds, 3 of carrots, 28 of cabbage, 2 of rape, 100 of turnip 

 seed, 409 of vetches, and 284 of bare fallow in Morayshire, and 

 2 acres of mangolds, 3 of cabbage, 11 of turnip seed, 125 of 

 vetches, and 90 of bare fallow — making a total of 238 acres in 

 Nairnshire. The extent in 1881 was, mangolds 15 acres, 

 carrots 2, cabbage and rape 5, vetches, &c., 487, and bare 

 fallow 105 — in all, 614 acres in Morayshire. In Nairnshire 

 there were, vetches, &c., 40 acres, and bare fallow 79 — making 

 a total of 119 acres. It will be observed that there is a consider- 

 able reduction in the number of acres under bare fallow since 

 1857, in both Moray and Nairn. Vetches are extensively used 

 in both counties for the feeding of cattle, when grass gets scarce 

 in the end of the grazing season, and before the turnip crop is 

 ready.
