GREAT WELD OF CORN.

The ZdnrWiHe, Ohio, Gdsthe ot the 18th inst
contains the following article, which we do hope
Will stimulate the corn growers throughout the
country to emulate Mr.. Rrnick. His land was
doubtless rich bottom of alluvion soil but then
even with ordinary land, much may be done in the
way Of moderation. Iime ashes, mrcds, harfs,
stable manure, and the countless other materials
which enter into the composition Of the food of
plants, will do much to bring up the low standard
OF production which obtains ma oriiy of the corn
growing lands, much of which does not produce
more than or barrels To the acre, and when 5
TO barrels are harvested, II is considered, in many
parts, wonderful crop; and in truth, as matters
now stand, SO il y. Forty bushels To the acre is
considered profitable crop; but il l57 bushels
can be raised ON an acre, the arerdge crop on good
fdnds (and all lands may be good) should be brought
up to the standard of II bushels to the acre We
have always thought there was too much space be-
tween the row, OF corn, and this, and many other
proofs within oar know ledge, 90 10 confirm our
belief The giving of this premium by the Agrcul-
tnral Society of Pickaway county, Ohio, reminds
us that the whole western shore of MARYLAND, is
without single Agricultural Society This thing
should not be SO; their patriotic brethren on the
eastern shore have MANAGED their affairs better.
they have kept their society in active existence
dispensing It's lights OF huSbandrv IN every direc-
ton, and dong good that blessings may follow in
their train.
BY the way, VIC hope 10 nee new face pu, up
on the hu,bandry of the Eastern shore With
the and of their IneAh austihlc bed. of shell mari
and sf'en sand, should they adopt the mulberry

Gems OF the beautiful peninsula, from making il
the garden spot of America. We have already
made our article somewhat in shape and size like

upon the local advantages of that interesting por.
