"she Advantage derived from Shading the Soil with Green Crops, "Wf. hare frequently contended—and the additional experience which every year briugs with it odds further confirmation to the fact —that the rapid exhaustion of even our best soils is not due so roucu to coustaut cropping us to the hoed crops which play so promiuent it part in our system of ugricnlture. It is true that corn nut! tobacco draw largely upon our soils, and especially upon the phosphates and the po'rsb which they contain. It is true, also, " lout shallow and careless cultiva tion has done much to assist rn exhausting lands which were regarded at one time as of almost inexhaustible fertility," and statistics likewise show that whilst the area of cultiva tion has bten extended year after year, the average product per acre has diminished. One of the primary reasons why these crops have proved so deleterious to the soil, is the fact that the system of cultivation required to bring them to perfection keeps the intervals between the growing plants utterly bare dur ing the hottest months of the year. The ac tion of the sun upoa surfaces, together with the constant stirring of the soil tor the purpose oi keeping it loose and light and friable, whilst it promotes the solubility of iu plant food, yet at the same time exposes the osgunic and inorganic substances which constitute in their several proportions the cle moats of fertility to great loss, both by evapo ration and by washing rains. As an illustra tion of this process oi exhaustion by the sim ple eqposure of bare soil to the action of the son c.ii t!;<* raio in summer time, we may cite the following facts : A piece of laud kept constantly plowed, Without any crop whatever beiug grown upon ii, if not iUuWea to grow up in weeds, will gradually laps from a state of fertility iuto :JC of comparative barrenness it bus been loosing year after year, by evaporation and by lraching rains,the greater portion of its plant food, its vegitable and mineral wealth, if we may be } ram ted to so term it. As a signal proof 01 this we have in our mum's eye a peach orchard which twenty years ago was planted upon as line a of soil as is to be found uywhere within ten miles oi Baltimore. 11 was h light, loose chocolate soil, and the quality v i .the orchard v.yas originally planted, was that of the best tobacco laud. That orchard was plowed regularly every reason to promote tlie growth of the peach trees and to facilitate tii" ripening of the fruit It is the usual cus tom with the best pc&ch.growera. In twelve years, or by the 1., .e tire peach trees begun to thaw signs of decay, those fifty acres bore evi dent e of a foil that had been utterly exhaust -d. Y< t with the exception of the peach tree themselves, not a single crop of any k;uii had been taken from the land. Mow, this rapid exhaustion couid not bo cliaigcd to the de irm-.cis uv.de upon the soil by the peach trees alone, but to the fact that the so l was kept perfectly bare throughou the summer. Again—take tiieeonverse of the proposition. Bo long as Lads are kept shaded they continue to iueicuse in tertility. ldoes any one doabt this 1 I. t him turn out an old held, and af ter a while a new growth of wood and brush will spring up, except v.heu the land is worn i to goiiits, and wii.ii the growth of this wood the to opphig-* of the leaves and the shade of the foliage, a portion of the lost foiliiity of the- land wii! bo restored Yet the trees have been drav. .ug nutriment from the soil all through these years, 'lake another instance —leave a bed of eornstaiks, or a pile of brush upon a tielu that the previous season had been planted to corn, and is consequently bate of herbage or weeds ; or, build a iodder stack i i the lield axu ft nee it off from the cattle. — \Vh u the land comes into crop again the next K'c-Mi, the p'uee from which that pile of Kiuiks, or brush, or loader stack, will show a ranker growth than any other part of the field.
