John THOMPSON, the we'll known broker, thus speaks
upon this subject THE vast resources of the Western
States can only be made available through the channels
of trade, and the necessary means must be furnished by
capitalists at the East or West. BY the establishment
Of good banks among themselves, they have those means
within their reach to enable them to turn to b tier ad-
vantage their surplus products. Illinois, Wisconsin,,
and Missouri, acting upon this. have established, and
are organizing banking institutions enough to supply

are movi' 6 in the right way to have, not cnly a suppy
but Of the right kind
Whatever may be said against the system Of banking,
it is necessary, while it continues, for e ch State to have
institutions of her own, or its trade will be at the mercy
Of such as do make use of them. Our capital in the

more than anything else, to set forth each advantage

Use its ind lence for the prom 'tlnn Of emi grafton to our

Mr.. Dimond purposes, on the 10th of My, to issue

For the Emigrant Aid Jou nal
The Culture OF Winter Wheat In Minne.

-
It has been demonstrated that winter wheat can be
raised successfully, notwithstanding in some instances
the crops have proved Improbable, for which | think I
can give good and substantial reasons. In the 6rst
place on light sandy prairie land, that lies exposed to
the cold bleak winds Of winter, | have noticed u failure
in almost every instance and, secondly, where the seed
has been sown az late as the lst of October, it has also
proved unsuccessful. From personal observation I give
it as my opinion that winter wheat should be sown from
the middle Of August to the goth Of September. in
preparing the ground l would pillow deep say six Or
eight inches then drag the ground over before sowing,
until the surface is even, that the seeds may be got in
Of one depth. l would prefer q double or treble shoal
pillow for putting in the seed, or a two horse cultivator
would do very we'll With one exception, that is, it would
not leave the ground as rough as it should he. My
idea of leaving the ground rough, is for this purpose
the wind is not so likely to blow the snow off, and leave
the roots of the plant exposed to the cold winter wind.
A coating of straw or coarse manure will be beneficial
for this purpose. I have noticed that winter wheat has
done the best on hazel.bush ground, or arounl the tim.
her lani. In Dakota county | have been informed there
has been a number of crops raised which produ ell from
thirty to ~fhirty.fve bushels to the acre. In the fall OF
1857 l thrashed one cr"p on the farm of Mr.. Lsbree,
that produced at the rate If forty bushels per acre. l
have been informed that in every case where an album.
dant crop has been awarded, the crop had been put into
the ground early in the fall.
From what | have learned from the past FIVE years
experience in this Territory, | would highly recom"en
the culture Of winter grain, as | have the highest an
~ticipation that Minnesota will be able to compete with
any of her sister States. Doubtless there il more yet
to be learned, and it is the farming interest to be ex-
ptrimenting and investigating upon this sui ject, as it
will greatly advance the labors of the farm by doing a
portion Of the seeding in the fall. 1t will make a saw
ing Of one hand and one team in the cult'vating Of one
hundred acres of small grain Another great advantage
which is to be derived from the culture of winter grain,
is that it is q superior article to export, and this season
we shall have a surplus, if the coming harvest should
bring forth as abundantly as it has years before. Win.
ter rye has be. n raised here with universal success. Rye
meal is the best feed for horses and cattle that is pro-
duced from English gain, aud gives the most nutriment
per acre. 1t becomes q settled fact that it is an important
crop to raise. by the old and experienced it is said
that rye meal and cut straw, wet and a''xed together, is
the heal:hest feed for stock that is produced.

The effects of the great revulsi"n last fall still weighs
heavily on all kinds Of business, not only at the West
but at the East, and not only IN this country, but 10
Europe. The accumulation Of capital at all the great
centres of trade, so bcastingly referred to, is the worst
Svmptcm of the depression. All this capital is with
drawn from the avenues of trade AMI commerce, an!
in its effects acts as the blood in the body would if all
tended to one part or member. In Europe affairs are
even worse than in this country, as the political troubles
add to the distrust felt in all forms Of securities.
The loss entailed on capital by it's useless accumula-
ton must compel its owners to seek for investment III
some formal first ii will be in safe classes and for small
profits th.s will soon beco ne exhausted, an l. market
must be found for the remainder somewhere, as much
so as if it were wheat, or any other per'shable CON
modify.
Minnesota offers unrivalled advantages to the enter
| prise Of capital and skill, and will no doubt attract a
large share Of both. Her soil is rich, and adapted +"
agricultural purposes and stock raising, the climate l.
DELIGHTFUL, insuring health aud light spirits to all who
come here her streams Of pure water are numerous,
and an abundance of timber skirts along her uniu'
la,;up pr.iries and around her myriaas of lakes. She
thus ~proffers every thing that should be an inducemenf
to the ~emigrant to settle in a new country. "A aehse
population could be sustained ty her, and her manu-
featuring facilities are second to no other State and IN
her bosom she no doubt hides vast mineral wealth, anu
her forests of pines are to supply the dreary prairie
wastes in the States below for ages to come. The great
Father of Waters is an avenue for the products OF the
tropical regions, aad the shipment Other surplus wealth
az her resources begin to be brought into play. She
needs the capital to do this, and the capital is waiting
for suitable encouragement to enter into the work.
The Inauguration OF our railroad system is to DO this
and do it in such q manner that it will be fixed. Fac
tories and manufactures will rise up around the water
