This is the advice given on all hands.
There are many reasons to encourage
farmers to double diligence on the
opening of another season for planting.
If the war goes on, it is obvious, that
the army must require vast supplies,
and if the war should cease, and the
Southern states be open to the intro
ductiOn of provisions from the North,
there will be anuGprecedented demand
to meet wants Of those vast regions
blighted by the war, and which now
yield little or nothing for the support
Of the people. The Western Drodu-
GERS well remember what cargoes used
to 60 down the Mississippi river when
the fertile fields Of the South we're
teeming with corn and potatoes as
well as cotton, rice and sugar. Now
the production has been greatly redu-
ced, and some parts Of the South, even
agricultural portions, are actually suf-
fering for the want ofcereal grains and
ordinary vegetables.
Ifthe fighting ceases this summer,
and peace with union is restored, as
every good man prays it may be, the
superabundance- of the North will foW |
into the impoverished South ike air |
into vacuum, and the farmers Of the |
free States viii find It a far more agree
able business to feed their neighbors
Of the South, and to get good prices |
for their crops, than to pay taxes for
the support Of armies. Its no less
a cause Of wonder than Of gratitude,
that, in the midst of a long, bloody, +
and desolating civil VAR the loyal
people of the country have. continued
to enjoy SO much prosperity in all the
concerns Of business; that
trade continues to flourish, and all
branches of mechanical arts are IN ac-
tive and healthful operation.
But more than other honest labor,
has that Of the farmer been prospered
and the prospect is that it viii eontin-
le to be more and more profitable
while the war lasts and for a time af-
ter it is over. In the long run, war
is a great evil to farmers, as weIl as
10 everybody else. Some are so short
sighted as to wish for war that crops
may bring high prices. This is a
wicked wish. It's tho hight Of selfish
But if the country or the
world abroad,is involved in the horrors
of war, it is the duty Of farmers, as
veil as others, to meet the emergency
1y the exercises Of the longest fore
light and the most untiring industry.
