Deterioration of the Wheat Crop.


Hon, Frederick Watts, Commits
sioner Of Agriculture, has recently
expressed the opinion that the dete-
rioration ofthe wheat crop sis mainly
attributable to the improper and un.
timely use of barn manure" He
refers especially to fall wheat. The
following he gives as a usual practice:
Clover sod is plowed and planted
with corn; the next spring the ground
IS again plowed and sowed with oats,
and upon the stubble of this the
manure is placed, plowed under and
the ground sowed with wheat, SUBJ
jecting the wheat plant "to the
rawness and grossness of the barn.
yard food, with all its germs of flies,
worms, lice and bugs" He thinks
the place for barnyard manure is on
the clover sod to be plowed for corn,
as "corn is the hog Of plants, and will
devour food of any quality and thrive
upon it," He advises burying the
manure deep, cutting the corn in the
fall, breaking the stubs even with
the ground in winter, and in spring
narrowing, without blowing, and
sowing oats and rolling. When the
oat crop is removed this land is to be
plowed deep, bringing the manure to
the surface, when, "having received
proper preparation, it is fit food for
the wheat plant"
The Commissioners adds: "Exne-
rience has taught me this lesson. On
my farm in Pennsylvania l never
fail TO raise satisfactory crop of
wheat, and have known no such
thing as nudge, Hessiau fly or army
worm"
The Commissioners opinion, based
as it is on successful practice, is emit
tied to much weight. We doubt,
however, whether his plan is the best,
especially if the manure ia spread on
the clover sod in the spring and at
once plowed under. In the North
west, where spring wheat is raised to
a much greater extent than fall sown
wheat, some other cause for the dete.
rioration Of the grain must be found
than the one suggested by the Com
missioner. Here barnyard manure
is often applied to the ground de-
signed for corn, and if put on that
for wheat is generally plowed under
in the fall, remaining until spring
before the wheat is sown on it.

ANOTHER REroRM MOVEMENT.

We learn from Eastern papers that
at meeting held in New York City
10, to cnsider the subject
of calling a general conference of Re-
formers to meet in the City of New
York, it was Resolved: That con-
ference be held on Tuesday January
the 9th, 1872, to adopt measures to
prevent the further alienation of the
peoples inheritance in the public
lands, mines &c, through corrupt leg
islation and TIE granting of subsidies
to railroads and other monopolies; to
consider the best means and method
of securing q rightful limitation to
private property in land and the re-
vocation of land grants already made.
Also to discuss the proposition to re-
peal the laws instituting the National
Banks, and generally to discuss the
questions of interest and money, and
the problem of taxation as remedy
for existing evils. !"
4 committee on invitation and ar
rangeuaents, consisting of prominent
Land Reformers throughout the
country, was appointed, and other
necessary steps were taken to insure
q general attendance of represent
ative men on that occasion. This is
what is wanted by the oppressed peo-
pie, and we hope that it viii be a
movement which will meet with
hearty approval by Democrats every
where. There is no country on the
globe which needs Reform so badly
as ours. We want Land Reform,
Money Reform, Revenue Reform,
Civil Service Reform, Labor Reform,
Political Reform and every other
kind of Reform that will turn the foot
of the tax-gatherer from the door of
the laborer and remove thievipg Off
cials from power; 4 Reform that will
relieve the Southern people from bay
onet rule and horde of drunken van
dals and carpet-bag Williams; a Reform
that will remove a President who
usurps authority and arrogates to
himself hingly powers; a Reform
which will release our country from
corrupt rings, heartless spectators,
and thieving monopolists.
This is the kind of Reformation
that is needed, and when it is accom-
plished then it may be truthfully said
that we have ''the best country that
the sun ever shone upon"
