Spring Crops.

We find the following timely md sem
si5le remarks on Spring Crops ia the
Pittsburgh Gazette and earnestly recon-.
mend them to the perusol Of our uumer-
GUS country readers:
The papers. essi and west. are calling
the farmers to put in large crops Of bread.
stuffs this spring. We Join in the coll.
The wheat crop may be good and large
one, though much less growing in Ohio
than usual. and the intelligence from
Maryland, Virginia and Eastern Perm
sylvania is no: favorable; but even il i,
should be the CREATES: crop ever grown.
that should not deter any one from COW
irihg the ground with spring crops 10 the
fuiles, eYten, possible The coun,ry is
fast draining of its breads,uifs. and by
harves; time there will be nothing left
This is an event Of which we have no
precedent. Year after year we have had
the enjoyment Of surplus left over, and
we have no, known what i, is TO have
every hook and corner overhauled for
supplies. and hungry eyes turned for
ward 10 The growing grain. An ordina-
~ crop will not suffice to meet our wants
much less those OF other nstious.
We must therefore take advantage Of
the opening spring and appropriate every
available acre TO the growing Of spring
wheat. where seed can be obtained, J
potatoes. corn, and whatever else may
serve as substitute for wheat. Corn is
the great s;end by Of the west. " hen 9th

that crop. |. ough, to be planted super.
abundantly. Farmers need not fear low
prices. The next year will furnish bun
dsnt demand for all the soil can produce
Il is famine and starvation prices tina, We
have TO fear. and no. glutted market.
Our country readers will hardly need
to be argued with on this score. They
have endured winter 200 terrible in il.
experiences 10 warrant them in running
the risk OF another. if they can avoid IL.
The only remedy before them is to put
IN plrn,eous spring crops. The dry fall
prevented them from getting in rhea,
freely. and they must no. uly upon
what the far west may produce TO make
up their lack. Let th.m cover every
spot they can occupy with something
for the sus.enance OF man or beast, or
both.
