state, (N. Y.) is first year, maize, (Indian corn:) se 
cond, rye or wheat ; third, flax or oats, and then a 
repetition of the same, as long as the land will bear 
any thing; after which it is laid by to rest. A 
Dutchman’s course, on the Mohawk, ‘is, first year 
wheat ; second, peas; third, wheat; fourth, oats or 
flax, and fifth, Indian corn. In Dutchess county, 
the rotation is, first, wheat ; second and third, pas- 
ture without seed, and fourth, Indian corn, or flax, 
or oats, or mixed crops.” Jersey, Pennsylvania, 
Delaware and Maryland, may be classed together, 
from a resemblance of climate, soil and mode of 
culture; and here we have, “ first year, Indian 
corn; second, wheat ; third and fourth, rubbish pas- 
ture. Clover is, however, beginning to be introdu- 
ced, in some such course as the following: first, 
wheat; second, Indian corn; third wheat; fourth 
and fifth, clover. i 
Two exceptions are, however, taken to this sys- 
tein, 1st. In the German settlements in Pennsylva- 
nia, where, frem more attention or more skill, “ the 
wheat crop averages eighteen bushels to the acre, 
where twenty-five bushels are frequent, and instances 
of thirty not wanting: and, 2d. In the peninsula of 
Maryland and Delaware, where the rotation of In- 
dian corn, wheat and rubbish pasture, has reduced 
the average produce to stx bushels per acre ; in some 
instances not more than two bushels are obtained, 
and much is so bad as to be ploughed up again.” 
“ In Virginia the usual crops are, Indian corn and 
wheat, alternately, as long as the land will produce
