Wool. The history of the growth
of wool, siiyi n Vermont jourtitil, it
very em-ions. Fifty years ago not a
pound of tine wool was grown in t he
United States, in (Jreat iiritan. al ill
any other countries except Seiin. in
I7;U a small flock wiu wrt to the Kleiv
tor ol'Saxon.v.as a great present loin
tlie King, of Spain, whence come Hie "
entire product ofixon wool no of
stieli initneni' value. In 19, during
the invasion of Spa in by the French,
some of tlie valuable crown floeK wero
sold lo mi.se money. The American
consul, Jarvig, at; Libisou, ptireha --ed
t,4tw neaii anil sent tiiem to am coun
try. A portion of this pure tmmiketi
Merino tlock U still to be found in
Vermont at this time. Such wmWitl
origin of the immense Hocks (if fine
wool sheep in the United Sbttes at tlie
present time.
The Wheat t'rop tbe Host ExhaB
live i- ine koii.
Tbe MarysvllleCal., Apjml, on this
subject has the followhig :
In looking over the cemstv returns,
we lind some remarkable facts eon
eeruing wheat culture in tlie L'nfterl
States. AVe discover that portions ef
tlie Union where once wheat was
grown in iiliuinlai.ee, ai-e now almost
entirely iteucrulent on other localities
or countries for their bread. Tl
ew England States have eeased to
grow wheat, not enough being grown
there to afford the population bread
for one Week. Tint portion of our
commonwealth is entlrclv dependent
on tlie grain-producing portlohfc New"
York proilitces coiisulerabtc wheat.
though the yield per acre, Is annually
diminishing. Tlie fur-famed (leiinc
see Valley, in its annual yield per acre,
fall far below the average of Califor
nia lituds, anil is yearly growing Jess.
The Western prairies, which were
once Kiippotiet to be of liiexhauatiolfe
fettiliiv, arc nnnually returning less
bouutecuis harvests. The falling off
of the yield per acre, in the last de
cade, shows as unfavorably for litem
as it does for Nciv York, i'eunsylYa
nio, or any of the old wheat-growing
States. Ami n little eonshlemtloA
will convince tu, that we, otthiseoasf,
suffer In like measure. Annually the
yield per acre here is growing less,
though the additional laud brought
under cultivation prevents the total
crop from- diminishing. It i-not no
ticed so much when viewed one year
with another, but when we consider
the yield of tlw laud planted tep or
fifteeu years since, and compare the
yield of that land now, we can notlcw
a very perceptible decrease in the re
turns. j n sj-'nania sliows a belter
average yield tier acre, during the hist
ten and we might say thirty years,
than any other State where wheat Is
grown to any extent. This, is owing
in ft mcasmv to the free use of lime on
the fields, exteu-ive depodti of which,
exist fhere. Iti tart the wheat-bearing
portion of that State U mostly un-
ilerjald by a liinf-stouo lormalion.
We gather from the facts as set ftirth
by the census, that the whetit crop of
all other cereals is tlie moot exhaus
tive' to the land, drawing from it a
comparatively tew season-, tliosc pe
culiar elements which enter so laraely
into the composition of quick, healthy,
or new soils. These elements oneo
exIiHit ted can not be replaced, only
by allowing the land to remain Idle
for a long term of years; at least we
liave as yet discovered no fertiliser ca
llable of renlacibg them. Knowing
this, we can look forward to the time,
anil it is not far distant either, when
our annual wheat yield per acre, will
be on a par with those mentioned, un
less our farmers abandon the habit of
continually growing wheat on their
land, and cultivate some oilier crop
htsri exhaustive of tho primitive rpial-.
Itiea ofthesoil.
