Exhausted Land.

It seems that the oldest State in the Union is not the only one which contains worn out lands. The last census develops the curious fact that in the comparatively new State of Ohio, the entire section once called the wheat region, from Steubenville to Tiffin, has for several years failed entirely in the production of its great staple. The consequence is a decline of population, and an increased emigration to the West. We are afraid that Ohio is not the only State in the great Northwest, which is destined to suffer from a similar cause, unless the agriculturists adapt energetic measures for the regeneration of the soil.
