Friend Dmaham IL have been disappointed
that the papers Of our State have taken so little
interest or rather have failed to bring before the
farmers of our State, the great necessity Of their
raising F7ar. Its a very profitable crop. First
for the seed, which always commands q good
price and finds ready market. The seed is
compressed for ito oil by Mills in our State. A
mill Of sufficient capacity being in operation in
this city. Second, for the straw, which has now
become of such value, and which formerly was
regarded AZ not worth anything. The market
price of the straw is IS per ton a. it comes
from the field. Flax has heretofore been raised
principally for its seed, which has always been
a profitable crop, but now since the straw alone
has become of such value A. to pay all the ex
penses Of raising and bringing to market, the in
terest accruing from the crop, is certainly great
er. Machinery has been erected at Fairfield
and II. Pleasant for the breaking. and other

East will furnish the requisite machinery when
ever sufficient quantity Is raised to justify it,
and the power for driving the machinery, and
the necessary iron work connected with the
same, can be procured at the Foundry and Ma
chine shop in this city. Why will not the farm
ers Of Ibis county interest themselves in this mat

IL cents per bushei. No outlay of capital will
be required, while . greater variety will be Civ

in me vested by the Constitution and the laws,

Ideem it proper to say, that the first service
assigned TO the force hereby called forth, will

property which have been seized from the Union,
and in every event. the utmost care will be OBJ
served, consistently with the objects aforesaid,
70 avoid any devastation, any destruction or, in
reference with property, or any disturbance OF
peaceful citizens in any part Of the country; and
