Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 2, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 July 1858 — FALLOWING. [ARTICLE]

FALLOWING.

We have always inclined to the practice of fallowing 1 . But for late years we have scarcely met with a farmer who agreed with us. The tillers oi prairie soil characterize the practice as the hightof folly. Our former opinion has, however,been lately revived by reading a very -able article on the subject in the California Farmer. Those readers of the Gazette, who have had any experience in the matter, will confer a great favor'by publishing in our columns a brief account ot the facts and the reason for the opinions which they hold. It is, perhapse, but justice to sayi that we are firmly set in bur opinion that w jH require a great deal of eloquence, pretty strong reasoning and a long array of facts to convince us of error. So gentlemen, bring out your guns and fire away.
