The Wheat Question.

The Southern Planter for october deyotes
a considerable space to the discussion OF the
question of wheat with reference to the fall
seeding, and more particularly with regard
to the Fultz variety Of wheat. Millers have
objected seriously to that variety OF wheat
a. being deficient in gluten and not good
for bread. There are two papers on the
subject-one by Mr.. JOHN WILLIS, ST., and
one by Mr.. E. L. .RAGLAND, OF Halifax.
Both these gentlemen pronounce the Fultz
wheat as more prolific than other varieties.
Mr.. WILLIS declares that it yields so much
more than other kinds that the farmer will
make more by cultivatirg it at ten cents less
per bushel than he can in seeding other
wheats. Mr.. RAGLAND, referring to the
opinions of several millers, remarks that
call agree in the main that the Fultz alone
"makes an undesirable -four, but is good and
a" wanted for mixing with the 'long-berry
"reds' and withstand in proper combi-
nation makes q first-c class -four" s.,a,
The editor of the Planter Tin DR.. Pol
LARD's chapter) says:
Regarding the kind:of wheat to sow, we
think the farmer can scarcely do better than
to sow the "Fultz.' It is conceded to be
the most productive variety thus far tested
in the State, and what difference the millers
may make in the price another season will,
we think, be made up in the quantity raised
Of this variety. .----.a..~..-
The editor, in bis own department, sug-
gests that if wheats like the Fultz continue
to give better yield than the red or long
berry whites in the country east OF the
mountains, we might grow them to our full
capacity there, and make up the deficit there
might be in other kinds By importing them
from the Ohio Valley. r., ,.,5.,,. ....

that Walker had bolted the platform. The
resolutions were opposed by Captain

such action would disorganize the Con-
sentative party and heap ignominy
upon General Walker. Mr.. Yost, Of Bland
county, being permitted to speak, agreed
with Captain Shelley. Mr.. Miller supported
the resolutions in an earnest speech, in
which he said that Walker had insulted a
large wing OF the party, and had placed
himself beyond its pale, and was not entitled
to its consideration and support. He was
endorsed in these views byW. c. Pendleton.

RICHMOND as aSWheat Market.

N n.
The Southern Planter quotes from a letter
written by Mr.. r. B. HAxALL the remark
,h.t no greater service can be done for Vir-
p,nia than by stimulating its grain produc-
ton. and particularly wheat. BE declares
that the large mills Of this city are now nos
more than half supplied without seeking
wheats Of other States, while the millers
"much prefer wheats OF Virginia groWth.'
The editor OF the Planter, protiting by
the suggestion, proceeds to discuss the ao-
vsntace OF making Richmond grain mar
ret which would bring here grain in sucn
Quantity and in such variety that the mills
wou,d be fully supplied. There would De
on immediate extension Of the milling
rower Of the city instead Of, as now,
scarcity OF grist for the grinding. rms
would stimulate the production OF grain in
Virginia. The Planters viewsare entirely
practical. The first and most important
point in them is the construction OF an ELE-
yAroR. There can be no large grain market
without it. The Planter says: +;
Except at the opening OF the season Tor
the sale Of wheat in Richmond, the oner-
inps on the Corn Exchange are altogether
ins1eo,,ate to attract any buyers beyond
those directly on the spot; and as all mar.
kets are full at the start, there is no need OF
buycrs then travelling round. Ii our pro-
duction was large, our wheats ranking as
HIGH as they have done in the past, and we
had the ability to bring them into market
the season through, the prices received
would be always remuneratiye. Now, here
the trouble: How can we, as needy OF
money as too many OF us are, afford 10 market
our wheat thus in detail? There IS one sure
woy. and that is BY the prouiSio7a Of trst-
class grain elevator at Richmond. Let us
seq First. as 10 the millers, it would give
them wheat when and in what quantity
they wished it, and OF the character ana
ouality most desirable at the time; it would
provide storage at much less rate OF cost
than they now have to encounter, ana De
perfectly convenient; and II Wouio save
them the interest on the money iockeo up
in the large quantity OF wheat they nave
always been compelled to buy ahead. Sc
cond, as to the farmer, it would enaDie MN 10
bring in his wheat without haste, ana tnus
insure the best condition possible to put II
in :: and it would not necessitate his selling.
unless he chose to, as much as he might De
in need 81 money. A warehouse receipt,
the wheat being fully covered by insurance,
would be perfect collateral in bank, giving
him, as it would, money at the minimum
rate. as interest always moves up or down
in the scale in proportion to the excellence
of the security offered. The inability OF the
grower to command his crop as he would
like 10 has undoubtedly operated TO keep
the volume of our wheat production at the
low figure shown every year since the war.

T,lhl,e yhiskeiy, TAX ,,..,:.

The discussion Of the IAN on whiskayA
the MorFErT register--is Increasing tnsthe
country. Senator BLAME Hho tsa cardi-
date for reelection from the New Kent dis
trict, a few days ago warmly supported the
tax in a speech OF decided ability. Colonel
BLAND was its strenuous advocate WINE
under consideration Ia the Sennte last win
ter. He therefore remains its consistent
friend, and has not gone back upon it nor
deserted it, as It's author seems to have done
II Is stated in the Danville Netcs that TWO
Of the Conservative nominees in PittsyiYa-
MIA sustain the register, and Que is doubt
full. There are signs In various quarters
that the strength OF the tax with the people
increases instead OF diminishes, notwith-
standing the order which has gone forth
from what many deem to be the "head-
quarters y Of the army OF Virginia.
The Lynchburg Virginian gives the IL
auor-dealers the following advice: -;
owe take the liberty to say that the
liouor.sellers will make a'great mistake in
thus arraying themselves against this mode
or raising revenue, Tor, even IL they can
succeed in the cities, they would be beaten
to death in the country upon this Issue.
The better. plan for them certainly Is to let
the law have affair trial, that the public and
the next Legislature may kiave a. practical
exemplification OF its working. We have
heard from those who favored the Diii
in the last Legislature that it was IN CON
temptation to abolish the specific tax on
vendors il the register system shouid pc
fairly carried out. The dealers VIII theIe.
fore see that it is important to them, in this
view. to make the law effective and yield
the largest return by accou ntlng for the tax
on consumers; in which event the specific
tax. of which they complain, may be taken
off. We know some dealers here who take
Lhis sensible view Of the case and will con.
form fully to the acquisitions OF the law"
