Overview

Excerpt from The Farmer's Magazine: July to December, 1841 The com-crop succeeding the turnip fallow, and with which grass-seeds are shown, consists of spring-wheat and barley, in such proportions as the season and quality of the land render advisable. If one part of the turnip quarter be superior to another, attention is given to sow that first with turnips, so that it may be cleared at the earliest period for the wheat sowing but if the quality of land does not materially differ, then it is desirable to alternate the crops, growing wheat this time where barley grew the last, and vice versd. The season which is preferred for wheat sowing is the month of February, though it is often continued through the whole of March; and, when long protracted snow-storms have prevented it, much has been, in some seasons, sown so late as the first week in April, and produced good crops. The kinds of wheat sown at this late period are much the same as in other districts are grown from an tumu sowing - brown and white Kent, Burwell red, golden drop, Whitington, Ste. 810. New va rieties are often introduced under the attractive names of nonsuck and prolific, which on trial turn out nothing better, and probably not so good, as others that have been in common use, although, by help of a little puffing, they may serve for a time an individual purpose.
