AS to the "ialse and hypocritical,

what the EXAMINER refers to? We
have been guilty of no false ms
suit, nor gratuitous insult, nor hypo-
critical insult, now known to affant.
-Ielegroph.
1t is false that the Democracy OF
Texas are looking back and mourning
over the results of the late war. 1t is
false that they are opposed to the
public school idea. 1t is an
insult to charge them with ignorance.
1t is gratuitous, because uncalled for,
and hypocritical, because the Tele-
graph, in making the charges, as.
sumed virtue it knows it never did
and never can possess. 1t was a new
edition of the long faced prayer at

GRANGE CROP REPORTS.

Not least among the many features
of the Grange, Is that providing
for statistical crop reports, first
of the acreage of the different
crops and then of the average
yield. All farmers, it is true,
are not Changers, but the
amount of valuable statistical inlor-
nation to be derived from and
through the Order in this regard, will
be OF incalculable benefit, in many
ways, both to the members and to
the State at large.
Only fairly starting in its work,
especially in this State, the Grange
has not yet half perfected all its
plans; but we hazard nothing in say
ing that as the order. progresses s, ex-
tending and completing its organiza,
tions, systematizing its work, and
widening its field of operations, this
feature will grow in interest and i'm
portance. Its greet practical utility
Is well understood by the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, and
every facility will be afforded by the
government for its practical applica-
ton to the interest OF the farmer. For
the best results in agriculture, like ev-
cry other pursuit are only obtained by
comparison of results, one year with
another, and one section with ans
other. The record thus kept will
prove the lamp of experience, which
is to light the farmer to q success
that, as yet, he can have but an in
definite conception of.
In this connection we suggest that
the territory over which each Grange
holds jurisdiction be divided and subs
divided, SO that each farm may be OBJ
served. The acreage and the sum OF
the results rs to particular crops
be carefully noted, and then the
grand total be summed up, making a
mass of useful and vastly int eresting
information, not only for the Grangers
themselves, but for all classes OF our
people. Information, so systema-
sized and correctly published, would
result in increasing our immi>
grafton, and is, perhaps, OF all the
plans proposed to foster this interest,
the very best. In another column we
give a short report from the White
Hall neighbour ood, which, while in-
complete, embodies part of our idea,
to which we invite attention.
