PLANT CORN.


The question Of cheap bread for the
working man, a 4 where will be good
supply of beef, depend upon how the peo-
pie plant corn.
If pork next fall is scarce and high,
those who have it to sell may think it is a
prosperous time for them, bu, it will be
mort 30 fthe people generally have plant
ed corn. It's no tru" argument that if
all DID the price woull be "ruinously
low" No country was ever ruined by
cheap bread.
We advise you therefore. every man
Iof you that owns an acre of soil, to plant
corn-in the English scceptstion of the
word, anything that will make bread
but more particularly we entreat you to
plant maize as Indian corn. We ask it
now because now is the Time to prepare
for it. We ask it for the good of the
lcountry-for the benefit Of the farmer.
Is there man living who took our advice
and increased his crop last spring, and
who has since had moment of regret
that he did so? 1t he has, his deeply
benz fitted country has not. The people
return thanks to God for a bounteous
crop Without it, what would those who
buy bread have done in all this terrible
winter.
Last spring general effort was made
to increase the product of the land.--
Heaven smiled upon it, and the people
were made glad. There was cause then
there is cause now,-that the people
should plant corn-more than was plant
ed last fall, for nowhere are the granaries
full. nowhere is there surplus laid up a.
gainst an unfruittul year, and without
such a surplus no country can be inde,
pendent, no people prosperous and hap.
|py. Let them plant corn.
We have had a winter Of severity such
as those who are most able to work have
never known before, and may never know
again. But that is not certain; the mex
may be one of still greater severity, anc
if so, what demand there will be fo
2rin-the poor will cry out for bread
Let the farmers plant corn.
Owing to the fact that the ground ha'
been covered with snow. an absorban
of fer;ilizing element for the earth, WI
r have reason to believe that this Wi
be great producing season. Let tn
people plant corn.
Not day is to be lost. We kuo'
that the ground is still froxen--thst til
SHOWS of January still linger on the sur
face; but we repeat, not a day is to b
lost from your preparation, if you intend
; more than last year to plant corn.
Let it not be argued that the price {
corn is falling-it is still largely remu
nrra'ive, while all it's pro luc's are c
quaiy so. Look at the prices that farm
: ers have realized for beefand pork, an
e though the latter has fallen, tits stillsbov
: the point of prolific the maker. Their
q is no prospect that beef will fall below te
cents per pound on the hoof for all tina
= is corn fed during the year. AT tha
: rate it will pay to plant corn.
There is pressing need now for grea
crop, as creator greater than that of las
), year and We may have it, ifthose who rea
this article will bear in mind the burde
of our songs, aud urge upon all with whol
they have any influence, to plant corn
6 plant more than you intend--more tina
), you did last year, if only by one grail
one hill one rod. one rood, one acre. OF
feld-still let your motto be that whic
begins and ends this appeal-PLAN
