In view of the signal failure of the
tobacco crop in this section, the far
mers will do well to increase their
wheat crop, to the utmost extent Of
their ability in order to bridge over
the gap made by the drouth of this
season More than a year must elapse
before tobacco can bring pecuniary re-
lief, and it will be great comfort and
convenience to reap large crop Of
wheat next summer, and realize its
value, months before tobacco can be
ready for market. And in this connec-
ton, we would suggest that good wheat
is the product of good seed no less
than of thorough preparation of the
soil. To get good seed, don t rely upon
the North; but select a coarse sieve
one through which dwarfed and i'm
perfect grain will easily pass, leaving be-
hind none but large, perfect seed. Not
only will this simple process, at once,
secure the best seed, but will separate
from it, those pests of the harvest so
hard to eradicate by ordinary tillage.
If the hardened condition of the
soil forbids the sowing of large crop
of winter wheat, the spring varieties
succeed pretty well here. and there
will be ample time to prepare the
ground for their reception. To be dis
couraged by one failure, is the surest
way to bring about another, and the
farmers ought to be the last men to
neglect any present opportunity to re-
pair the losses of the past, and we are
pleased to learn that few are falling to
Tighten misfortune by making the most
ofevery expedient to ward off the effects
of season unparalleled in the des-
truction of crops.
