Fallow

(fil'lo.) [From A. S. fal ewe, pale - yellow. ] (Agric.) Land is said to be under fallow when it is ploughed and otherwise stirred for a season without being cropped. A nuked F. is one in which the soil remains a whole year without any kind of crop; a turnip or green-crop F., one in which the land is left idle from harvest-time till the early part of summer, and is then sown with turnips, or root crops, in rows.
