WORN'OUT LAND.
It Can Be Resto/ed to Fertility by
1 Judicious Fertilizing.
Question.—What can be done to re
store my worn out land?
A gentleman, who removed to Geor
gia from one of the states of the great
west a few years ago, visited Atlanta
Muring the Interstate Fair, held in Octo
ber. In speaking of worn out lands he
■aid that* Georgia farmers were not the
only ones who by am exhaustive system
of cultivation had deprived good lands
of their fertility. When people begat*
to settle up the western states and found
lands that gave yields of 40 and 60
bushels Of'" wheat to the acre, they
used the same land year after year with
out returning anything to the with
th« result that the yield diminished un
til 6 bushel* to the acre was the best
that could be obtained. Some of them
quit farming and began the raising ol
blooded cattle for the dairy and for beef,
saving the maqure and applying it to
the land in order to improve the pas
ture grounds. It was soon discovered
that wherever cattle were kept the land
was being rapidly restored to Ub orlgi-
nal fertility. Now there is no such
thing as worn out lands among good
formers hi the west Skillful fertiliza
tion fnd rotation of crops keeps the
land productive.
This gentleman purchased a pla<r in
Georgia on which most of the land wet
what is called worn out. He went to
worhvio build It up according to the
methods so often reoomsnended by this
department, viz: judicious fertilizing
with both commercial and homemade
fertUiaem, the nature of hit
■oil and trying to supply it with the ele
ments most necessary /or its renewal
