irg'dusing the State Fair At Decatur, 1,lde
tao pcints: One, thst tho farmers Of the
West should drop the culture Of wheat, and
ttaothef that ste4m culture, It least ut tho
souh, is the co,uirg element Of sunstantial
prfress. At Arst, supposed that the Com
missioner intended to restaics the culture Of
what "a lending STAPLE. but he Was not con-
tent with that position, but mada hi* remarks

ton charged BY tho railroada. This Oh
jeclen is more or less applicable to other
frtishts- To deprive the railroads OF the
Prnllege OF carrying wheat and llour to the

thtse remarks to show that tue Commissioner.
II he intt nded to convey huch \ sweeping d.
nuiciatfou against tho culture OF wheat on
oEs western farms, as drew from his re-.
marks, fhat it may rather be attributed 10 bis
early education, rrejuaices and Taste, rather
than to my state Of ffacts that really exist in
favor Of his positiou.
In selecting what crops or whit special de-
psstment We should follow, thare ars many
stand profit, not what will pay best for one O.
two yearH, but for 4 seIies Of Years. And
t1ese eacl. individual must consider for hItn-
selt. aud apply them to bis own peculiar con-
d1sson. There are sections Of the country
~haro wheat can be grown to better prof. IS
aIe1ding staple than in others, at the same
time there may be good rcasons foz making
fayoted. The favorable condition OF certain
fafms or parts Of them, tho advantages Of
markets, and the chtApneas Of harvest labor,
al should bare due Reight In deciding upon
The quantity sown.
