The estimate of twenty-five per cent. def
cheney holds good for some Of the South
ern counties Other districts will have a
full yield, The estimates range from ten
to twenty five bushels per acre. The de-
fic'ency in the crop will probably be com
pcnsated by increased acreage, making
the aggregate product about the same as
last year. The quality will be much

LET CF4EBOYGAN COME TO THE
FRONT.

We have no doubt that the agricultur-
al products of Cheboygan county this
season would average equal in quality
and quantity per acre, to any county in
the state, What we need to secure emil
grafton to the county. is to secure the
belief Of the people generally that this is
the case. A large potion of the residents
of the state are in perfect ignorance re-
garding the resources of the county We
SHOULD disseminate this knowledge
broadcast over the state. This done we
would see hundreds of farmers coming
to this locality to settle and improve the
lands. In no way can this knowledge be
spread to so good advantage as to pre-
pare samples of the crops grown here
and exhibit them at the state fair, as the
productions of Cheboygan county"
This is matter that we would naturally
look to our agricultural society to take
charge of, and the directors are proper
parties to take action in the premises
This action should be immediate, so that
samples of the growing grain crops could
be secured. Let the directors at once
appoint some gentleman, we would sug-
gest Col. ii. G. Davis,tO look after secur-
ing the proper samples, and to go to the
state fair with them, and exhibit them,
and represent the county. 1t will pay q
larger interest on the Investment, than
could be secured in any other way. Our
friends in Chippewa county saw these
suggestions made in the TRIBUNE
months ago. and are acting promptly in
the matter. Will Cheboygan be behind
them? We can make as good showing
as any northern county in the stale
Again We urge it npon our people. lei

from internal revenue for the year end
ing June 30, 1873, were Sill, 0S0.319 81. or
S7,905.S65 81 less than the year proceed

to be owing to the agitation of the whis-
Ky and tobacco taxes during the last ses-
sion of Congress. as it was during that
time that the receipts tell off. The de-
crease was principally on spirits. on
which there was a. tax of nine ty cents
per gallon. On this item the decrease
was $6,GG3073. On brandy there was a
