By an item in local column, head
ed "Farmers, Attention." it will
be seen that Geo. Prentiss proposes
to purchase all the grain that our
farmers will bring to him, and that
he will pay them cash. This news
will doutless be hailed with delight
by our farmers, who have COM
planned of late that there was no
one in Alpena who would purchase
the farmers produce. In Mr..
Prentiss they will now find a pur-
chaser of their grain, and if our
business men would now so to
work and buy all the produce the
farmers would bring to market,
they would get much nicer pro-
duce, and at the same time be en-
couraging home industry.

To COTTON PLANTERs.-We would
advise our farming friends to read care
fully the statement in another column
in reference to cotton, taken from tn"
Department of Agriculture, at Wash"
ington,, and consider the matter well
before they plant their c'ttou this year.
Do not depend entirely upon cotton or
you will lose. Many of you may re.
member the prediction made in the
JOURNAL last year that ''the bulk OF
the crop of 1873 would not bring over
8 and 9 cents" It averaged less than
that amount, Eve mean to the produ'
cer,) and We do not think that the
coming crop will bring over cents
At that price, you cannot make much,
but only make yourselves poorer and
poorer each year, until bankruptcy will
he the portion of every planter in our
country. Now, before it is too late,
top and think, and you may yet regain
part of your lost fortunes. There are
many things that our country will pro-
luce which will pay better than Gotten,
nd it would he we'll to give little
to some of them as we'll az

ice. oats. potatoes. hay, fodder, pork,
