THE WAY TO HEAVEN IS OPEN TO ALL

SELMA, Ala, July g. 1862
D. W. RAAISDEIsL & Co.-Dedr Sir: In reference
to those Norway. Oats prepared one acre to suit
ourselves in field of 60 acres of different kinds of
oats and we have cut 5000 pounds OF Norway
Oats and straw. 1t is now stacked mp, and we can't
tell what the yield Will be until thrashed We en-
close piece Of the butt or lower end Of of the
stalks They grew six feet high on an average, with
broad leaves resembling corn blades, and heads
about one foot long. We had excellent season
for oats and fine crops, but the Norways were much
the best We propose to show what We do to all
our farmers who wish to see and then let them think
and act f1saheInselves The iCdg 10 HeaUen Is open
to all the I'D, 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 sold last year as our seed
Parties are again advertisln ano 70
warded several Thousand bushels OF canada
cats TO the w est, where he Is selling them as
Ourseed. We cautioned farmers lastyear against
ibese frauds. But, because they could buy at a
lower price, and the representations appeared
honest they purchased elsewhere; ana now,
when they have learned By the result that they
were deceived, they are writing 10 us TO punish
the swindlers. To all such we beg to say that we
have enough to do to attend to our own busl-
ness. We renew our caution, ana give hOlce
that hereafter We shall sell ONT see1 un1eT Ine
name oftheRAMSDELLN NORWAY OATS. The
demand for this seed is sufficient to guarantee
sale of every bushel in the country at our estGb-
lished price: and farmers who bought seed from
MS are asking from 81 30 to $40, a3d one evidence
of seed being spurious is the fact OF its being
offered at less than the regularly established
prices. No man IS likely to go to the trouble
and expense Of rtising and selling TINS seed
at a less price than he knows he would pay Tor
it. il genuine. There is not seed enough tc sup
ply the State Of California alone, while others
are coming in from every state and Territory
and many paris of Europe. There are upward
80 .ITiole of farmers in the limited 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 satis,
fed and anxit US to get il now. One more word
on this subject of inferior seed Many seed
dealers bonSht and sold seed last year which
they may honestly baye believed 70 be genuine,
which was not; and some farmers, we are
sorry to say it, who raised twenty-hye bushels;
sold more than twice that quantity. The demand
which the great success OF this gram toe past
season has created will sweep on the entire
stock in a short time, and will offer unusual
advantage for bogus operators; and we are com
peIled in justic 10 ourselves as well as tor the
protection of the public, 70 publ sh the ABOVE
facts The only safe way for the farmer Is 10
make NJ his miHd row much he wants, and IL a
neighbor whom he knows and can trust has
the seed of his own raising, buy OF MN;
not send at once to us. Our best ana heaFI
lest seed, Northern qTOrH. under the personal
SUPERVISION Of M Ramsdale. will be offered first
YIELD ANDQUALITY.
We claimed last year that the Norway Ost
would Weld double that Of any other kind.
They have done better than that.
We claimed that they were . per cent.
hrayier, They have exceeded that in weight.
We claimed that they were better IN quality.
Reliable farmers say they are worth 100 Per
cent. more for home consumption, aud Will
make whittier and sWeeter flour than the best
wheat.
Farmers who can Do go are invited to visit
either of our stores. and examine the grain and
specimens of stalks, root branch and head. We
have mammoth roots producing as many as 20
stalks from single kernel, which sre visited by
hundreds daily, and considered, justly, as we
Think, the wonder of the agricultural world.
We shall continue to furnish the genuine Rams
dell Norway Oats as a speciality for two years TO
come The Price next year viii not be less than

fortune on the crop fro n a few bushels.
