you candidly that loved Miss Alzina
Philbrick. Not for her pretty face a
lone, as you insinuate,s but for those
high and amiable qualities which only
arirender me happy in domestic life.
She is modest, sensible, and industri-
Gus, and even yourself must acknowl-
edge that she has highly cultivated
mind, and an amiable disposition; and
this marrying for nancy is poor BUSH

decrease Of that Wheat Crop-Oir Glory
dcparting--For the last Eve it has oeen pub
lishod to the world, that Ohio produces more
whcat than any other State in the Union. Ihis
is tho proudcst boast Of her citzcns and il has
done more than all olso - establish her credit
abroad. With wheat crop from twenty to
twenty-five millions Of bushels, one half surplus
product, it was wol known TINT the farmers of
Ohio would b; able without difficulty. 70 pay their
taxes and the indebtedness of the State. and
speedily 10 become prosperous and wealthy.
But the reports of the Commissioner of patents,
show that State is fast losing this cnvlable dis
tinction and it is probable that mex. years report
will strip our farmers of this their highest honor!
.'rho wheat crop of Ohio for the past three
years is estimated os follows
Crop Of 1912, 23.3S7. t39 busEieis.
:. 1913, is,7Si,705 !" 80 pr. Ct. loss

Showing decrease Of forty-five per cent. or
nearly ten millions of bushels in only two years
I ..And this, too, whilo it is we'll known that the
number of acres devoted to this crop has every
wear been greater than the preceding. And
another importan, fact is. there has not boen
of Of
up for this Immense loss.
As evidence that this falling off is mainly attri-
butabo TO defective farming. let us look at the
example Of Now ork, where knowledge has boon
difIj,scd for :, number of years past, by five or
six WILDLY circulated agricultural papers. several
of Thorn numbering from ten to twenty thousand
subscribers and where forty fifty county
agricultural societies.. and one for the State, are
sustained by the aid of $4,000 per year from tho
treasury. There tho reports show marked IN
#crcaso in tho wheat crop during the Same time
that it has decreased iii Ohio. The figures stand

Showing a gain of noarly four millions Of bushels
in two years; and most Of the othor products Of
the farm in that State, have increased III pro
por,ionatc ratio for the past four years.
..Frotn these figures it is easy to sec. that IN
Mi probability tho next annual report will rob
Ohio of the honor OF being tho first wheat State
in tho Union, and award tho palm 10 the farmers
Of the Empire State!
The tirst thing necessary TO be done is to cir
cnlato agricultural papers among the farmers, and
pon. on. through them tho necessity and means

eti6ctuatly than now, it Wi! DO of comparatively
little use to logisato upon tho subject or to form

the farmers viii cooperate in such measures If
the friends of the causo,who perceive tho evil and
the remedy, will % to work for this purpose. with
onc-tenth part tho enthusiasm that Is manifested
during an ordinary political campaign. We should
soon SEQ results that would cheer the heart OF
ovcry true patriot.
