Agricultural Reform


Mr.. EDIToR The most aggressive movement
| in agricultural reform which has come under
| our eye is The introduction Of tho pea and vctch
and what is called the "ish Element" i'm the
agricultural experiments OH the lands about
Charleston. We have watched the experimental
| farms with considerable interest and have
been amazed at the marvellous crops of oats,
wheat and grass which have been successfully,
for several years, grown under this system
We visited during the last season. at various
times, the growing crops and were astonished
by the results
The old idea that it was necessary to turn the
pea vine under when grccn-which was q very
troublesome opcration-has been exploded

izing material it stores up, while the frost which

In noticing the prayers of the Evan
gelical Alliance for the unregenerated
journalists, the New York Graphic thinks
in the meantime journalists ought not to
let the season pass without friendly re'
ciprocity. If they do not offer sim
liar supplica,ions for the improvement Of
the pulpit. they can at least counsel and
exhort; they can enioin upon the weaker
brethren in the pulpit the duty OF
personal uprightness and regeneration
they con applaud the strong and virtu'
Gus; they can publish more able sermons
and fewer wishy-washy sermons that
thereby the truth may be exalted and
clerical studiousness encouraged; and II
necessary they can give somewhat more
in detail the delinquencies of wolves in
Sleeps clothing, that terror of exposure
may prevail and honorable and cody
men may be trusted as they deserve to
be. The Graphic says if journalists 60
about it in O sincere and humble spirit
they can do good deal to improve the
moral and intellectual standing of the
First Estate.
