f armrr's Department. Summer Fallows for Wheat FALLOWING is one of the me?' atirreht methods of rest-rig fertility to impcv -risliui soils. Tie Hebrew law commanded that the land should rest tv. ry seventh year ; and though of a figurative nature, it tvasptobably connect ed with the practical ivquirsmcut ct the early system of agriculture HKSICD, the Greek poet-farmer who flourished in the tewhcentuiy B C , and who cultivated a soil which he de scribes as " bud in winter, hard in summer,and never good," (probably a stiff clay,) recom mends fallowing, the laud beinjr plowed three times —once in autumn, again in the spring, and then immediately In-fore sowing. Among the Romans, fallowing was a universal practice - —in most case? a crop and a year's fallow succeeding each other. The land was first plowed after the crop was removed, generally in August ;it was again cross plowed in the spring, and at least a third time before sowing whether spring grain or winter wheat was the crop. There was, however, no end to the num ber of plowings ami sanding*, the object being as THEOPHRASTIS observes, " to let the earth feel the cold of winter and the snn of summer, to invert the soil, and render it free, light, and clear weeds, so that it can more easily afford nourishment." The Romans introduced the system of fal lowing into England, where it has been pursu ed since the invasion. It would appear, how ever, that the practice did not extend loScot land till the earlier part of the eighteenth cen tury. JOHN WALKF.R, of Beanston, East Lothian, is supposed to have been the first person who ever systematically attempted to fallow land in Scotland, lie had to endure, for a time, the ridicule and contempt of his neighbors, who jestingly concluded that he was either insane for allowing a portion of h'.s land to lie waste for the whole year, or so poveriy-stricken as to be unable to find seed to sow it with. The practice, however, was so successful that twenty years after, summer-fal lowing had become nearly general throughout East Lothian. " Mai.y," says JOHN IIAXTON, of Fife, " are old enough to it-member the wonderful improvement effected in Scotland through the introduction of the bare fallow system. Previously, the land was cropped repeatedly with grain, until it ceased to produce enough to pay for seed, labor and rent. It was then allowed to remain in grass until the operation of natural causes had, in some degree repaired the former damage it had sustained, when it was again broken up, nud the same scourging process renewed. Upon such a system, the introduction of fallowing operated like a charm " In the mean time, turnip col tare was intro duced with remarkable success on the light soi's of Norfolk ; and a controversy on the subject of substituting the growing of turnips for bare fallowing agitated the writing and reading por tion of the agricultural public of Great Britain during the latter end of the last century, and ultimately a tacit compromise resulted, which left the turnip growers in complete possession of the light soils, and the summer fallow ad vocates in possession ouly of the heavier and undrained clays ; while the drier and less stub born clay loams formed a sort of debatable ground, upon which occasional pen-and-ink encounters took place between the two parties, until practical experiment proved the poim in favor of turnip growers. There can be no donht that in the moist cool climate of the British Isles, turnip-culture is more profitable than bare fallow on all well-uu drained soiis, except the heaviest and most tenacious clays. In this country, where the climate is not so well adapted to the cultivation of turnips, and where meat is not so high, the case may be, and we believe is, very different. The lamented Judge BFEL, and other eminent agricultural writers, reflected the opinions of their brethren across the Atlantic. They ex tolled turnip culture, and condemned summer fallows ; and it is not difficult to trace the in fluence of their writings in forming the now very generally received opiuiou that summer fallows arc, at best, a necessary evil. There is some truth in this opinion, l>ut we are inclin ed to believe that the benefits of summer fal lowing are not sufficiently understood and ap preciated. On light soils, there is little necessity for summer fallows. We should endeavor to keep the land'clean by the introduction of hoed crops, without the use of bare fallows, ana try to en rich it by the growth of such plants as enrich than impoverish the soil, and then feed them to cattle and sheep, and endeavor to make as ninch rich manure as possible. But on heavier soils—such as form, under good culture, our best and most permanent nheat lands—we can not dispense with the use of summer fallows. We will hazard an opinion which will perhaps, astonish some of our readers hut for which we can offer some good reasons: that on a well-underdraiued, properly-fultivat cd clayey loam, there is very little actual in crease of fertilizing matter added to the soil by growiug and plowing in any crop—even a heavy crop of our highly-prized clover. All the mineral matter it contains was in the soil before, and the matter which the crop obtain ed from rain and dew would have been retain ed by the soil, if in proper condition. The only increase, than would be in the gases which the plants attracted from the atmosphere'. The bulk of this is carbonic acid—which, for wheat most soiis have an abundance. How much of ammonia is attracted from the atmosphere by the best of renovating plants, such as clover, it is difficult to estimate, but froin all that we know on thesubjeetj we think it probable that it is not more than a well-stirred, loamv soil would attract. That many kinds of clayey 6oils have the power of attracting ammonia from the atmosphere there can be no doubt, and that one of the advantages of summer fal lows is attributable to this fact is equally cer tain. Our wheat growers, on heavy soils, mast pay more attention to summer fallows. We ure aware that fallows add nothing to the soil, except ammonia, from the atmosphere. They simply render available the stores of plant-food locked up in the soil. But why should they net be rendered available, and useful ? Is not this better than letting them lie dormant ? They are the farmer's capital, arid the more he can keep in circulation the better. W e have great hopes that some cheaper and more effectual method will be devised ot break ing up and pulverizing clay soils, then by tbe common plow, cultivator and harrow. We must make the steam engine, that " giant with one idea, 1 ' do, at a single operation, what we can now accomplish ouly by rcpeutedploaings, Uarrowmgs, tka, CISTERN CEMF.NT. —Two-parts ashes, three of clay, and oue of sand, mixed with linseed oil.
