of Infinite. benefit to our farmers and
Plahtsrs. knowledge and information
thus derived and published throughout
the country would enable the humblest
and most ignorant farmer to form some
conception Of what wou ld be the market
price Of the products Of his farm. Such
knowledge and information would check
speclllation-it would prevent -four mer-
chants and grain spectators from CON
trolling, at times, the markets, BY eiir6cu-
Iating false reports about tie failure OF
crops In fact, such knowledge and in
formation would place the farmer and
planter beyond the powero Of trading spec
