10 TIE FAEMERs.-Look out for high prices
for corn and plant abundant provision crops
In anticipation of war in Europe, 100000 busi-
els of corn were purchased in Baltimore in one
day last wees, !,. The European market.
y first class war in Europe in 1877, will
double the price of corn and dcprcss the price
of cotton. If we Judge from the sudden drop
in Government stocks and the rush for provi-
sions, war is iinmircut. ihc cotton planters
will be wise TO provide for tho issue, by dmn-
ishing the cotton acreage and planting corn,
peas pOta;ocs-and everything else that makes
food for inan and beast. .--GrrerriNe Nsr<.
That's the plain truth, FRIEND Speights. 1t is
now pretty sure that there is a gigantic war on
foot in Europe. 1t will commence between Tur-
key and Russia but before ii is ended England,
France and Germany will get into it, sure. In
that event would rather have fifty acres in
corn, wheat, oats, peas or potatoes than one hun
drcd acres in cotton. Those articles will be
worth more in cash, and would find ready sale
while cotton would not bring . cents pound
and no one would care to buy at that price.
