We wish to thank our former friends for their utter

the same time. We endeavOr to keep farmers, and
dealers in farm produce all through the country ad-
vsed as TO the actual condition of crops. To do this,
must rely upon the letters Of subscribers the
statements Of exchanges, and personal observa-
ton. Many of the letters receive of no gen.
eral value by Of the obscurity fivolity of
their statements, or the evident want Of trustworth-
in the calculations they contain. These 20 to the

brought 10 the notice of Learly half million subscrb

Information and if one careful and intelligent farmer in
each county of the United States would send up letter
Low about The crops of the county, giving facts and
not theories as TO the planted and yield, we
should be able to present more faithful, comprehen.

printed in this country. The hay all housed long
