season allowing them more time Il an usual, which tn y
have wisely improved Farmers will do we'll even if
their products should remain low, but there is more
than a probability that a great market will b.. opened
for their b'neft ty the large population called into the
State this summer to con .truct the great railroads that
have received the timely help from. the farmers, in grant,
ing them the FIVE million loan.
The prospect is bright for the farmers, AMI in their
success We rhall heartily rjoice, as the prosperity Of
every class directly depends IN their having a good and
ready market for their products.
Corn will likely prove the most valuable crop to cul.
tivate this year. If this grain could grow at al, with
the late spring last year, and cool summer, and early
frosts. that prevented its ripening in illinois, what may
we not expect with this early and warm spring With
even the usual summer warmth ? Certainly q magni6-
cent yield, and this we expect to boast of neg. fall.
