We need greater variety of crops. Our peo-
pie have hitherto confined themselves too cxclu-
svcly to the culture of the serials, and the great
staples, tobacco a ud cotton. They have neglect

and the orchard and the truck farm, and the
raising of stock A reform, change is here

soil and climate every way propitious. The
culture of the grape, especially, invites the at

have realized fortunes why cannot our people,
with every thing favorable, copy the example
and reap the same fortunate results? They can,
if only the same enterprise and care are exer-
