WHEAT-During the week the offer
ings have been small and mostly smut
ted. Il would appear a. if our growers
knew DO more how to keep wheat from
smut than they know how to keep but
ter from being white. This ignorance
of processes that are as easy "ss falling
of a log" is most disCreditable, and
shows the need of public schools to teach
US the very elements OF knowledge. All
wheat seed should be stepped in sulphate
Of copper GilutiOu-bluestOne dissolved
in water, to free it from smut. We learn
that SOME farmers have taken their
choice lands for cotton and put poor
lands for wheat. Poor growers wheat
is too noble crop to be put aside in that
manner. It wants deep blowing and
maneuveTing, and whoever does not
know how to Use wheat generously, had
better let il alone. Wheat rewards at
teEtiOn magniticently, but neglect it,
and it will show its scorn. Wheat
must be deep pIowed, well ma
Bured, the seed must be soaked
III suiphate of cOpper-On these
conditions grand things can be
dooe. Treat wheat neglecttully, and it
will return scOrn abundantly-it takes =
man devoid OF sense, to expect good
crop and high price without the ex-
pendIIure of money and brains. There
il d fortune in southern wheat, because
it is early in the market. This should
be an incentive TO exertion; the vacant,
empty-miBded creature that thinks he
can get fOrtuae out OF wheat for moth
ing is fit for transportation to the anti
p0des. No word can describe his ignOr-
ance, 30 prophet predict the extent of
the failure such an empty mind must de-
velCp itself to be.
