GooD NEWS FOR THE Poor. The
Nashville Gazette says: 'Men con-
versant with matters agricultural as
sure us that from ten to fifteen fold
the usual amount of wheat will be
sown this fall. Our planters have
become heartily sick of cotton.
Thousands on thousands of acres de-
voted last year to the delusive staple
will be sown in wheat. The call for
seed wheat is most extraordinary.
From two to three thousand bushels
could be sold here daily if obtainable.
The mills have ceased making flour
because it is more profitable to sell
the wheat for planting.
