Synopsis
Excerpt from Address and Notes on Sheep
I have invariably found. That the land in sections of the State 5 Where live stock, and especially sheep, have been kept as the leading feature since the land Was cleared, has improved rather than diminished in fertility and that the people asl a rule are prosperous and influential On the other hand, 1 have found: With few exceptions, that Where a system of plowing and growing g has been followed the land has become poorer each year, and the owners. Are anything but prosperous I can truthfully say that I have seen hundreds of farms in difi'erént' sections of the State Which. Were naturally as good as those in the fer tile r'egionsu mentioned, but through persistent cropping and bad man~ agement, they had, become not only unprofitable but an expense to the owners. Such farms, I am grieved to say, are any too frequently met with. The well kept feltile ones often found adjoining them, proving that this condition is not the fault of the soil, but the fault of the owners and their methods cf farming.
