Corn Trials by tGrangers.

In series of seventeen corn crops
raised in Saline county, Missouri,
by farmers competing for a Grange
premium of $500 for the largest
yield, it appears that twelve crops
out of the seventeen gave an aver
age yield of over 100 bushels per
acre; and this not for one acre only,
but for an area of ten acres in eac1
case.
Nothing could more clearly she "
the progress of good farming than
this fact. When one man gets a
yield of one hundred bushels OF
over from a single acre it is not very
remarkable, because it is getting to
be of frequent occurrence. But
when dozen men, each cultivating
4 field of ten acres, get a product OF
over 100 bushels per acre for the
whole area it may well attract at
tention.
IF twelve fields aggregating I2o
acres. are made to produce 1900
bushels of grain per annum, to-
gether with its 500 tons of clover,
what would the yield of the coun-
try amount to at the same rate OF
production, and how much longer
shall we remain satisfied with 20
bushels per acre as an average yield
for the whole country?
If the above competition Is a fair
sample of Granger enterprise and
success, then we say let the Patrons
of Husbandry go ahead, and lei
the farmers clubs show the
same spirit of progress. Then IN
deed the new era of husbandry will
come in with the new decade and
the croakers and doubters will pass
away TO join the bats and the owls
of the buried epoch.-Exberimcat

upon the necessity Of the Grange
and cooperation. | regret that
all the farmers in this county did
not hear Bro. Rose on these occa

the importance and necessity of far

Corn Versus Cotton,

Editor Patron: | want to talk to
my Brother Patrons of the South Of
the folly of raising all cotton and
buying our corn, meat, oats, wheat,
flour, potatoes, and, in fact, every
thing that we eat; all of which can
be raised in the South cheaper than
it can be in the North.
The Northern papers say we
shall never have any part or parcel
IN the control of the politics of the
Nation. We are cursed and hated
we are lied on. And vet we toll
twelve long weary months to make
cheap cotton that the North may
thrive, and then throw it back in
our teeth that we are lazy and shift
less.
On the 10th of last June l planted
s. acres in corn, and paid $II.5o 10
cultivate and gather it; and it cost
me cents per bushel in the crib.
sold to a neighbor 100 bushels of
this corn for sos; he paid me money
that he got for his cotton at s cents
net; that is be gave me SIS lbs. of
cotton for bushel of corn.
Now, good man with proper
tools and good team can raise and
put in the crib 1000 bushels of corn;
and if he could exchange it at the
same price that l got he would get
4o3 bales of cotton, averaging 400
pounds each.
Now, Brother Changers, for years
you have been doing this thing.
You have made cheap cotton TIL
the North and West, in their pride.
begin to think you can not do with
out their corn and wheat. 1t is no
wonder they think us fools and not
capable of assisting in the manage
ment of Government affairs. Even
a quasi-Democratic paper of the
North says: THE world will honor
the spirit which so stubbornlv re-
fuses to permit any semblance OF
Rebel Dominion"
If this is so go to work like men
and make every thing you can at
home; stop this big cotton crop;
show these people that you yet have
some resentment; and that if they
can not affiliate with us we can live
at home
New Orleans receives a million
bushels of corn per month, and
every Southern city in proportion.
