A delightful entertainment was given in

t,en,v to colonel knight.

Editors DISPATCH: The article signed
ut+to in YOUR issue OF the 22d in
stant was merely intended to give greater
publicity to the premiums offered by the
Agricultural Society OF Virginia. Know
ing YOUR pcnchant for agriculture. sup
posed YOU would take pleasure in sending
nv article to hundreds OF farmers VINO
n,iqht not see the schedule, and feel sure
not one single farmer has been deceived oy
it. Colonel Knight says: "The police OF
the Society is not to encourage specially
prepared and workcd-up crops, but to get
the results from crops which have been
planted ana cultivated under enlightened
views OF culture in the ordinary course
OF the farmers or gardeners Dllss-
ness. Ii the Executive Committee
thought 40 bushels OF wheat, go oush-
els OF oats, so bushels OF corn, and
q tons of hay per acre their minimum Tor
a premium) the result OF ordinary farming,
they must have been affected by the local
surroundings when these premiums were
decrccd. .|Presque Isle," 6. Bremo," some
sections OF Clarke and Loudoun counties,
and perhaps some other sections, might, I'M
der good management and good seasons,
produce such crops without extra manure
and cultivation. but not so with n large
portion OF Virginia; and can hardly think
this same committee intended to ignore
that much larger portion OF our State, and
exclude them from competing for the pre-
,niums. If SO, Mr. Harvie's resolution
ought to be rigidiy enforced: but, as have
said, Ithinh Colonel Knight is mistaken.
Again, the Colonel says: "Such crops
trained under system Of high culture,
with heavy and expensive manurlng, may
properly be reported as experiments"
The 55th Rule, under ghich these premiums
are all a,carded, shoes conctusiUety that
all prcmiun,-crops are intended as "e1per'-
mcnts'' for the instruction OF farmers (see
schedule). The object OF improved farm
ing is to raise the greatest amount OF the
best food from given area, and these pre-
miums are specially offered TO elicit lnforlna-
ton how this can be done, and one compe-
