BURNING OFF FERN LAND.
H. —Would you regard the constant burning-off of fern land as detrimental, and likely to cause impoverishment when it is finally required to be brought into glass; or do you think the potash left by fires compensates for the loss of humas and other products of decayed vegetation ?
