THE WAY TO HEAVEN IS OPEN TO ALL
SELMA, Ala, July IS, 1863.
ID. W. RAMSDEII & Co.-DedT Sir: In reference
to those Norway Oats, prepared one acre to suit
ourselves in field Of GO acres Of different kinds Of
oats, and we have cut 5000 pounds Of Norway
Oats and straw II is now stacked up, and we can't
tell what the yield viii be until thrashed We en-
close piece of the butt or lower end of Of the
stalks. They grew six feet high average, with
broad leaves resembling corn blades, and heads
about one foot long. We had an excellent season
for oats and fine crops, but the Norways were much
the best. We propose to show what do to all
our farmers who wish TO see and then let them think
20 all the tp0Td, but very few take the trouble to
steer by that compass, and it Is so with farmers
Yours truly, GEO. o. BAKER co.
SPURIOUS SEED.
Hendricks of bushels of Canada. New Bruins
wick. Surprise, Poland, and numerous other
varieties of oats were sold last year our seed.
Parties are again advertising and attempting to
deceive the farmers. One party has already for
wArded several thousand bushels of Canada
oats to the West, where he ID selling them as
our seed. We cautioned farmers last year ag sinst
these frauds. But, because they could buy at a
lower price, and the representations appeared
honest, they purchased elsewhere; snd now,
when they have learned by the result that they
were deceived, tAey are writing to US to punish
the swindlers. To all such we beg to say that We
have enough to do to attend to our own busi-
ness. We renew our caution, and give notice
that hereafter We shall sell cor seed under the
name oftheRAMSDELLN NORWAY OATS The
demand for this seed is sufficient to guarantee a
sale of every bushel in the country at our estab-
lished price; and farmers who bought seed from
US are asking from ST 50 to $40. a. one evidence
of seed being spurious is the fact of It's being
offered at less than the regularly established
| prices. No man Is likely to go TO the trouble
and expense of advertising and selling this seed
| at a less price than he knows he would pay for
| it, if genuine. There is not seed enough tc sup
ply the State Of California alone, while others
l are coming in from every state and rTitory
| and many parts of Europe. There are upward
Of fpe millions of farmers in the United States
yet to be supplied with this seed. and the whole
crop this year would not give each pint.
| Where one farmer had the faith in our repre-
sensations TO buy last year. thousands are salts

sold more than twice that quantity. The demand

ADVANTAGE for bogus operators; and we are com
PEELED in justice 10 ourselves as we'll IS for the
protection of the public, 10 publ sh the above
facts. The only safe way for the farmer 10 to
