But in variety and succession of crops is safety and profit. In order to succeed, crop must be made to follow crop, so that the ground is used to its full capacity. To leave it fallow for even a week is to invite weeds and to lose much of the advantage of tillage, as well as so much time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
