BREAD SruFFs FOR NERMoNT.-The prices
are at starvation point, 80 that the price OF
boarding has increased nearly one hundred
per cent, within five years in this State
There is no prospect that prices will be any
lower very soon Vermont raises about one
and three -fourths bushels of Wheat, one half
bushel of Rye, and about six bushels of Indian
Corn, for every inhabitant in the State. or
course the i'm portation of Wheat -four must
be very great fevery family of six persons
consume one barrel of -four milled out of the
State, the cost will be $3.50, 900 year-al-
lowing it to cost $40 per barrel.
How can Vermont prevent this large import
of -four and export of money Shall we eat
le.,t Shant do it. Shall we live cheaper
Not vet What shall we dol Simply. raise
more grain,-more Wheat and more Indian
Corn. Why does Vermont, purely agricul.
tural state, import so large an amount OF
breadstutfs, Is it because the soil is poor,
and climate unfit Nothing of this. 1t is
because the soil has been robbed. 1t is be-
cause much has been taken of the soil, and
little has been given to it. The trees being
cut of, there 10 no natural medium for equal
izing the vegetable mould on the surface
Tho waters carry the soil into the meadows
and swamps, and their it lies, idle and sour.
From large part of the surface, crops of
grain have been taken, till the soil is emptied
Of some of the elements absolutely necessary
for the full growth of grain. In some places
the kernel will not fill, In others the stalk
cannot support itself, and the grain ''lodges. -
No hill country" in the world can stand this
robbery To encourage the soil it must re-
csive fair play,-receive as much as it gives.
To fatten the soil it must be fed A thick
she'll of indi ference seems to have grown upon
most of our farmers, in reference TO this mat
ter. What will crack it Will hard labor
and diminishing crops They have not done
it. Will hard times, and -four at Sl4 bar
relt We shall see. If it will lead our far
mers to use their farms fairly, and to give their
acres chance to produce all they can, then
blessings on the hard times. 1t seems clear
that it is for the interest of farmers to raise
more grain,-more potatoes,-more carrots,
turnips &c, this year, than they are wont,
