ImmigratiOn-The Hope Of the Stats,

Until the waste places e Louisiana
arc reclaimed from the ruin ia which
they have been laid By disorganIed
labor, political vagrancy aud commu-
nistc plumber, and until they aeain
rejoice in activities that spring from
human habitatious, conservative IN
dustry and the reign Of law, i were
idle to hope for return Of The peace
and plenty that once brought comfort
TO he freside Of every family in the
commonwealth. Until We can attract
from the fields Of Europe and the
Northern States population that will
furnish adequate labor for the culture
Of our teeDing soil, political peace and
security from plumber. it we're folly
TO expect the prosperity that once
waited on the prodigal returns Of Lus-
Jandry in this favored region Of the
world. An organized force OF labor
can be Introduced into the State 1t
can be employed to unfold the wonder
ful resources Of wealth everywhere
apparent 1t can be tried to improve
our navigation and construct our rail
roads and build up our commerce.
1t, therefore, behooyes the people
to direct every energy they possess
and exhaust every means in their
power to accomplish 50 great a boon
as the immigration OF new people in
to their State and an opportunity is
now presented to them for engaging
in a cooperative effort with many OF
the best men in Louisiana for ach.ey-

An inquiring member of Congress
has ascertained by investigation that
it will take 1892 for each member to
pay the postage on the regular num-
Der of public documents, printed un-
der authority of law. which in the or
dinray course Of business he may wish
to send around among his constitu-
ents. This does not include speeches
or bills, but only agricultural reports,
patent Office reports, and other rubbish
of that kind.
One of the most cheering facts con-
nected with the abolition. of the frank

Wash for Fruit Trees.

The following is wash used by
William Saunders, of the Govern
ment Gardens at Washington:
Put half bushel of lime, and
foar pounds powdered sulphur, in a
tight barrel, Stacking the lime with
hot water; the mouth Of the barrel
being covered with q cloth. This
is reduced to the consistency of or
binary whitewash, and at the time
of application half an ounce Of car
bonic acid is added to each gallon
of liquid. Mr.. Saunders says: 81
generally apply it in the spring, be-
fore the leaves make their appear
ance, but l am convinced that it
would be more effective if applied
later; but then it is difficult to do so
when the tree is in foliage" Mr..
Saunders applies the wash not only
to the stem Of the tree, but to some
extent to the main branches. -N f..

Warch the Weed Crop.

The production Of weeds to an
noy the farmer, and the good end
for which they were created, are
among the unfathomable mysteries
ofProvidence, which we do not pro-
pose to solve. But they grow while
the farmer sleeps or letters. Now
that the crop is in the ground there
is no time TO waste in visiting or
any other employment. So soon as
corn is planted, the war on the
weeds should commence. Delay
not one day. The drag should go
over the corn at least twice before
it is up. Then so soon as the corn
can be seen, the cultivator should
be started. And now comes the
true mechanical part of farming.
The first blowing of corn cannot be
entrusted to small boys or novices.
There is no work on the farm need
ing so much care and tact. The
entire surface of the ground should
be either moved or covered. Some
are content to pillow all except from
six to ten inches next to the corn.
1t is most fatal error. The entire
row should be covered with loose,
fine dirt, even if the corn is not over
two inches high. This. will keep
the ground from baking around the
corn, and choke down the young
weeds, which at this time are less
than the corn. Heretofore it has
been supposed boys would do to
pillow corn, while the men could be
engaged in more particular work.
This was one Of the greatest errors
of the age, in agriculture Put
careful men at the corn, such as are
not interested about wild geese or
the travellers along the highway,
but who will run the pillow close to
the hill, and see that every spear Of
corn is uncovered. The first plow-
ing is tedious, and requires much
patience as well as skill. But when
once Flowed the battle is won. The
weeds arc under control, for by the
time they make their appearance
again the corn will be so large that
they can be buried by the walking
cultivator beyond resurrection.
But if the harrow and early plow-
ing be neglected, the fox-tail grass
and other vcnomous weeds will gain
such an ascendency that the pillow
can never overcome them, and it is
seldom in this state that hands are
so plentiful as to justify the use of
the hoe to eradicate them. Then
we say there is no period of time on
farm requiring SO much energy
and actively as the three weeks at
ter the corn is planted. See to it or
weeds will haunt you all the year.

Farmers and Liquidation.

Ex-senator Clarkson, ono of the
most successful and extensive farm
ers in Iowa, writes from his farm in
Grundy county, in the State Reqis-
ter of March 10th, as follows
Although farmers form larger
class than any other trade or pro-
fession, yet whenever their interests
are involved, so little, as general
rule, do they know Of the rules of
legislation or the tricks of politi-
clans, that they are frequently COM
PEELED to go to other classes or pro-
tessions to get their matters rightly
before Congress, or the Legislature.
This is all wrong. Now that they
are waking up to u sense of their
oppression, it is time they learned
also to redress their own wrongs.
And one way to begin this reforma-
ton is to begin to do things right.
In the various Clubs, Societies,
and Oranges of farmers, in the
transaction Of business, adhere
strictly to established legislative
rules, OH all questions. Get Cush-
ing's Manuel, study it and let all
deliberations be dignifed, and in
order. Prepare to defend your
rights in the Legislative Halls,
where we are always defeated now,
for the reason that we are unac-
quainted with legislative science.
tits now the delight of the agents
of the monarchists to get number
of green farmers, as they call them,
into the Legislature, as one man,
used to all the formula of delibera-
tive bodies, can defeat score of
plain, honest men, who have never
made Legislation their study. We
therefore call upen all agricultural
organizations in their deliberations
to be guided by rules, long since es-
tablished. Do not let 4 few old
fogies laugh you out of this impor-
tant duty. There is evidently a rev.
olution going forward in public
opinion, and it is probable that
those who have so long betrayed
our interests, will be exchanged for
more honest public servants. If
then, farmers intend to elect farmers
to represent them, they should be
fully educated in their duties. We
have abundance of men of the nee
essary natural talent, but they have
not been educated and trained to do
such work. In this country it is
not right for one class of men to be
set apart for rulers and law makers,
but that all classes should have their
representative men, to meet in the
halls where laws arc made, and de-
fend their rights and interests.
There are interests now suffering
and oppressed for the reason that
they have no representative.
1t may seem folly to some Of the
members of the agricultural soci-
cites to embarrass their proceedings
with technical rules and decisions;
yet they may pass on, and at the vie
tai time when your interests are at
stake, your representatives will re-
greet that they had not made legisla-
ton a study in the debating clubs,
in the primary political meetings,
Agricultural Clubs and Oranges.
And in view of these facts, we call
upon all farmers to break over their
modest notions Of doing things in
their homespun way, and at once be-
gin to prepare themselves to defend
successfully agricultural interests
in whatever field of combat Provi-
denee or the ballot box may hereaf-
ter place them

The Weather and Crops,

Everywhere in Iowa the season is
about two weeks later than usual.
Corn planting in Southern Iowa, on
Saturday last, was not more than
half done, and in this region more
than half was to be planted at.same
date. In Central Missouri there
were but few instances on the 23d
where farmers had planted all their
corn, and there was probably in all
that section, one-fourth not planted.
Wheat looks well, both in Iowa and
Missouri.
The prospects for fruit in Iowa
are generally good, especially APP
pies. In Missouri the apple crop
promises well, and there is likely
to be half Il crop of peaches.

A New Departure in Agriculture.

Mr.. Henry Schnebley, editor of
the Farmer's Friend anil Guide,
published at Peoria, ILL.,, proposes a
new departure in agriculture. He
is sanguine that corn can be grown
for less than five cents per bushel,
and wheat for less than ten cents
per bushel. He says:
In these days of new departures
in politics and religion, I thought l
would get up one in agriculture. l
have been experimenting with deep
and shallow blowing for the last
thirteen years, and l always found
the shallow blowing the best. l
have also found the annual blowing
of the soil to be unnecessary and
useless, for the soil as furnished by
nature is pulverized more thorough
ly than any tool can do it. l have
no use at all for the common har-
row or drag, and consider them all
humbugs from the old Scotch down.
l consider them a dead drag on
the man, the land and team, and
they ought to be so. named. l have
several bits of evidence I here pro-
pose to offer:
On the oath day of April, 1870,
/ was at the Illinois Industrial Uni
versity, at Champaign. l inquired
for the Regent. The reply was,
"Gone to New York" l asked for
the Professor of Agriculture. He
had gone too. So l wendell my
way down to the experimental farm.
Here 1 found Mr.. Vickory trimming
trees. l remarked to him, "Butch-
ering trees are your" eyes," says
he, 1--WE trim them every month in
the year, and make record of it."
I wanted to know Of him how much
corn he had planted.
"Corn planted" said he, looking
ut me with establishment. "Why,
yes,'' said /. ."Time enough for
that" said he.
| replied that the old saying OF
"Time enough" had ruined many a
man, and / lost more money at it
