SOIL EXHAUSTION AND ROTATION OF CROPS. j^Q 



who asked the question, has nothing- against it theoretically, and 

 the fact that it has succeeded elsewhere shows it must be a good 

 plan. There is no reason why such land should not grow into 

 great value. If clover could be brought in it would probably 

 raise the land in a couple of years to the productiveness jthat it 

 had forty years ago, by simply bringing up the materials which 

 the roots of other plants cannot get at. Probably any application 

 containing lime or sulphate of lime, leached ashes, oyster-shell 

 lime, or anything of that sort, would be beueficial. These things 

 always favor the growth of clover.
