TO be done, put in his seed, and make a
crop. In saying this we DO not speak
al randnm, but sdyisedly, for We recol.
lecI very distinctly that some ten years
ago we did not finish getting in our crop
oil corn till the I'd Of June, and yet ie.
allied very fair return for The toll and
sweat We expended in lis cu'usation.--
We mention the fact in order that none
may despoud, and that all who may not
have gut their corn in may busy themselves
ngethrough their lsbors, and be animated
by the confident hope oil meeting gene
rnus reward both in quantity and price.
OF the first We do not entertain the least
fear, If the ground be either naturally rich,
or well MANFRED, provided the corn be
kept clean during the growth; nor ATE we
