JIM LAsE is not the man 10 fall asleep when

Sixty thousand of the citizens of Indiana
having voluntarily taken up arms for the
defense OF the government, the preservation
Of the Constitution, and the liberties of the

piled to the support and maintenance ofthe

A circular from the Patent Office says the
results of the cultivation OF Sorghum the
past year settles the question of its entire
practical success. The value Of It's product
is now counted by millions. One of the diff
fculties is the want of pure seed. To meet
this want this division has ordered seed FROM
France Tor distribution the ensuing spring.
1t must be borne in mind, however, tha.
the same causes which have produced de-
terioration here exist there, and well groun-
ded approximations are entertained tina, seed
thus imported may not be free IRON suspic-
ion. Farmers Interested should secure pure
seed from among themselves, when possible,
as the season is so far advanced that direct
impor,ations from Africa or China would
be imprscticable.
