..i°II•EIGN CORN TRADE AND

teen ~.",e°, Iv, Auc. 1. —The unusually large export of
Isaa-,4ich we have this year made to the west of Europe
country-°t °llly brought large sums of money into our

too:agriculture; for it gives our landed proprietors en-
feeteelaracut to make improvements, upon which they

Itet floe "11 enlarged scale. The present conjuncture will
many aulY extensively but intensively; for we have had
eh"; aftplaints of the bad quality of our corn, and the
title vaticu has been at the same time made, that the
f„ s., has need alone will in future induce foreign countries
teeist recourse to such indifferent corn. Our agricul-
en—ra s will lay this to heart, and will endeavour to pr0w...3
w...3 Purer and better seed, and destroy the numerous
'gill
greats which now so choke the corn.
