Let it be read and thought oil:
We have one crop that might DO dis
pensed with altogether for the present. Grain
Il better than tobacco. In 1850 we pro-
duced in this State over million and a
quarter hounds of tobacco with very doubt
fnl economy TO the producer, and not much
benefit 20 the public. We think all the
croin that can be grown upon these acres
Will be needed before the wear comes round. ;

nrofitable crop: whether il be 80 or not we
will not discuss; we have always held the
contrary. and fully believe it still, under

Brother farmers we urge you to plant
corn. Plow deep. manure well, and plant
corn.
American mothers, wives and daughters
os lmcr;can soldiers. we urge YOU to plant
corn
What If every woman, who had the abili-
~ shall nlant and tend one well fertilizcd
bill of corn
Wbo can imagine the vast addition all the
golden ears CROWN upon these extra stalks
would make to the great national store
What if they were all gathered in one gar
ner. and added to the widows and orphans
fund.-
Think of this mothers, wives, and daugh-
ters Think what YOU can do, with such a
triflipr addition to your other labors as
plantinp one hill of corn.

in;unction. " Die about and dung it," until
il grows and hears fruit.
