It is to bo regretted that the cheapness and quantity of land have caused planters and farmers to take in and so cut down too much territory. Your committee would recommend licit our farmors should plant less, manure more, cultivnte better, and at 'the proper tiiue, divide the land iuto three pin ts, and alternately by sowing small grain and resting, aid the soil in its production, for a good corn crop will grow on the sumo land only onco in three years.
