The proceedings Of the Farmers Con-
vention, which came OF ct the court
house last Saturday, will be found in
another column. The convention was
large and composed of representative
men. While the committee were at
work on their resolutions, at the in
stance of the chairman, representatives
from different portions OF the county
made reports concerning the condition
of the crops of their respective localities
They were reported to be about as fol-
lows: oats, good; wheat, fair; corn
about half an average crop; potatoes
nearly failure. Avery interesting dis
cussion also took place.relative to the
manner of cultivating the soil, the best
farming implements to be used, and 9TH
or matters which werc of importance to
the farming interests. The experiences
Of tho older farmers were recited, and
their words were attentively listened &c
bv those who had como much later
Remarks were made by gentlemen W
S. Collins, Lockwood, S. Collins, keni
son, Bean, McQuary, Eastman, Hohnecl
Parsons, Forsse, Slocum, Cavanaugh ano
others, which were well received and o
practical benefit TO all who heard them
After the committee on resolutions hat
reported, II. 1. Jones made stirring
speech upon the necessity of the farm
ers nominating q ticket of their own. 1
was evident, at the outset, that their
was no disposition to act Independent o
political parties, except the candidates
nut in the field must represent their in
terests, or go by the board. We do no
remember of having seen more intel
gent set of men in convention in Saline

house last Saturday. We are prouder o

The grange movement is so unlike
any other in our history that it requires
something ola philosopher to tell just
what political shape it will take. While
politics, as it is popularity known, 10
seemingly ignored BY the order, there
10 little doubt but that it must, in some
manner, take part in it. 1t may not do
30 under official direction, but the men,
bers will act somewhat in unison. On
NIL questions of national or local policy,
it is not best for the order to build IN
a distinctive political party more than i,
is for the uasons-both being score. or.
ders. BY an effective organization the
grangers may secure the removal OF
abuses through the medium of one of the
parties now in existence, but not by Q
separate organization. A party com
posed almost wholly of farmers canno,
reform the country. Four-ffths of the
farmers are Republicans, aud tho same
party thst once saved the nation from
destruction can avert dangers of Lesser
import. Republican farmers, YOU car

The corn crop OF Illinois and Iowa
will only average at from one-half to
,wo-thirds of the ordinary yield. The
drought in those states has injured the
corn, and no amount of rain can nov
benefit it. 1t is also shorter than usual
in this State. This may be benefit to
our farmers. Prices will be higher and,
tho net income to the farmers better.
There is large amount of " old corn
held throughout the State, aud the
amount raised this year added to The
