Excerpt from The Southern Planter, Vol. 63: Devoted to Practical and Progressive Agriculture, Horticulture, Trucking, Live Stock and the Fireside; October, 1902
Judging from the past, a good cr0p of grain, and a good catch of clover without manure, or some other fertilizer, is now utterly impossible.
Mr. Waldo F. Brown has stated that there are fields in his vicinity (in Butler county, Ohio), which have been tilled and cropped for forty years without the application of any fertilizer whatever, and have been kept up to the full standard of their original fertility, merely by the use of clover and a judicious rotation of crops. The statement only proves that those fields were very rich, and that it takes a long time to ex haust them. The deepest and strongest wells can be pumped dry. The ocean itself would ere long be evaporated if no rivers were flowing into it.
