APPENDIX. 491 



In conclusion, I must urge upon my brother farmers the importance 

 of putting in less land and preparing it better. With good seed, one acre 

 well cultivated will yield 50 bushels, which gives infinitely more satis- 

 faction and is done with much less labor and expense than the skim- 

 ming over of ten acres with the same result. Almost any of our up- 

 land soils can be made to produce 50 bushels by a little scientific culture 

 and saving of seed.
