cts him against the proposed scheme of agricultural
scs We cannot for the life of US see the difference
thinks 80 important the system alreadv n,

against public statistics at all and for this pn
he attacks the press and charges il with having

aust leave others reply on that point We have ever
for publicity all subjects being for the interest
It all As for the agriculturist must b for the interest
II every individual farmer to know as much "A po-bl
about the crops of every other farmer 10 the world from
his neighbor the hedge to the farmer on the
Don the Missouri Mr. Stafford virtually tells the Brit
h farmer that he has more interest in conceane the
Il things his own farm than he has in knowing the
state OF things all these islands Did we think that
pnion OF his sense, not say his sanity but we are
had to adopt lighter view OF the case and believe him
10 be only humoring welkoown agricultural xeakness
IL is OF course only carrying this game TO make
Joke OF everybody who undertakes to advise the farmer
