THE WHEAT CROP OF VIRGINIA AND THE
"ENQuIRER"

Messrs Edtors:-Permit me to call your attention
TO one fact, and AK of you. why such is fac re-.
fer TO the frequent notices in your paper concerning
the wheat crop in this State
In your issue of the 18th inst, we find the follow.
ing: "More A6out the Virginia Wheat Crop -
From the ssddening manner n which all our eX-
changes are discussing the condition of this useful
article of subsistence. one would think that during
the fall, the staff of lite will be On the point of
DEATH"
Now, this either means good deal, or it means no.
thing Do you intend to say, that the farmers of this
good old Commonwealth not honest enough TO
tell the truth about their crops Of whea or bave you
come to the conclusion, that counting room clerks
who see some few crops when on collecting tour
not knowing oats from whest-that they aud others.
who know 80 little Of good bad crops, on returning
10 the Cities can and do give corrSct account
OF the condition Of the wheat crop than farmers who
know all about i'll
There is no uss in any newspaper endeavoring to
convince buyers and speculat0rs that an average
crop Of wheat has been made-t Is not so. The crop
Of this year ia undoubtedly she most Inferior m guam
hty and qualify raised for e,ght years Some farmers
will not make halt CROP Now, this is bad; it cumes
very hard that man, especially, who has paid 6O
dollars per ton for gusno. What will Do his clear
profits with half crop of wheat, and the newspapers
of hs State doing that which will eventually cause
spectators and buyers to believe that there Is an
abundant crop, thus deprecang IT, and causing prices
TO range rery i0w2 i supposed the Enquirer ought TO
Richmond markets, of the 18th inst, find the follow
ing: prime red 81 %, for prime white wheat 81 10
We do not expect these prices to be maintained, but
the contrary expect them lower as soon as the re-
ceipts are ample" "E1pect them loweri'' only l2O

farmers and respectfully request you to consid.r whe
ther not such course s not well calculated to re-
sut in injury to many of your friends, who are
FARHrKs.
The Enquirer" entertains the highest regard for
the opinion Of farmers touching their crops. We
know the crop lie short this year, and we think the
editorial in the Enquirer" OF yesterday, 10th inst
covers the whole ground. The quotation above al.

evidently did not know how 10 estimate the crop he
