THE FARMFRs AND THE THREATENED
EUROPEAN WAR.

II view Of the threatened Eu.
ropean war aud d the consequent
idvurce in meats md hreadstuff,
rhomns b. James, E q, COM
missioner agriculture for the
State Of Georgia, has issued y
circnlar to the farmers OF his
State from which we make the
following extract :--[Lalayetts
Advertiser.
In view of these facts, the
farmers Of Georgia are urged 10
Increase their areas In provision
crops. 1t is not yet too late to
increase the aren IN corn, even it
Il has to be done by reducing the
area OF cotton. Let farmers
plant enough corn to insure m
ample supply fonthe ensuing year
Let them plant crops for their
hogs, and force them forward 10
<ecnre, as nearly as possible, q
supply of bacon for home con-
sumption. Let them plano
literally in German miIlet and
field peas to supplement their
corn crop in feeding stock, IN
order that more Of their corn may
be used for bread.
Ii the war should be ayerted--of
which there is, at present, little
probability we will have lost
no hing by the above policy II
not, we will have provided against
the possibility Of lnss ar suffering.
In either event those who adopt
the above advice willhave nothing
70 regret, while those who do not
may be compelled to purchase
provisions at ruinously high prices,
and pay for them with cotton Mt
prices even below the cost oi pro-
dnction. ff
