Tue Patrons Of Husbandry in all

very largely this season. Nearly every
letter we receive from that section
mentions the great value of the last
crop to the farmers. Many Of the
Oranges are discussing, at their meet

the best arieties to plant.
We trust the Secretaries or Masters
Of Grsngers, or both, will send us

using every energy to restore this
great loss to US, at the same time
