THE PLOUGHING QUESTION.
To the Editor. Sir, —If you will allow me space for a few lines in reply to Mr Cameron, I will not trouble you again on the subject of ploughing. I admit that the work in question had all the advantages claimed, but so would it had the cut been of the usual sort ( and I am not aware of any. thing in the peculiar shape of the,share cut which would tend to loosen the bottom. The space below being less proves that there must have been < considerable false cut, as false cut is the only method by which this space can be lessened. I think I am right in saying that false cut has already been tried and condemned in Canterbury. I expressed ho dislike to the crooked coulters —what I objected to was their being put to work in a different part of the field from the rest of the plough.— l am, etc. Ploughboy. Ashburton, Oct 11. jt ■
