FARM TALK.
what We Are D0inE-PrOper Education
Varied Farming-BoOk and PerlOdI-
cal NDfPs

NoA
By ils Registers agricultural Editor.
The boys who report the local items
for the daily papers get little off now
and then, in telling their readers what
the average farmer" is doing from
time to time. 1t is often guess work on
their part, we'll meant, of course, in try
ing to give ali the news, local and other
wise. But really We think it a matter
of small importance whether the farmer
is now gathering in his corn, digging
his potatoes or pulling his turnips, all of
which might now be attended to, al
though little late for digging potatoes
and little early for pulling turnips.
Yet the careless farmer may be engaged
at the former, and
THE CAREFUL FARMER,
or rather he who always wants to be
up with his work and ahead of his neigh
bors, like Joe or John Robson, of Mid
die Wheeling Greek, for instance, may
have his turnips stored away. Any one
must know that this has been a fine fall
for farm work and for ripening crops,
corn particularly. During an average
season the greater portion of the corn
crop is in the crib by the middle of No
vember, sometimes by the first. This
has been a remarkable fall for pasture,
which is still growing. BY this time
last year farm ers were feeding their
stock, partly on account of the dry
weather as well rs the early winter.
This certainly has been an unusually
prosperous season for
FARMERS OF THIS SECTION.
We have all the rain that could be
desired to produce good crops. Wheat
has not been better in twenty years, if
we ever had better crop; corn the
same, while prices are above the aver
age. Who would go West under such
circumstances, and yet appearances
seem To indicate that there will be
larger emigration to the West the COM
ing spring than usual. New railroads
are opening up, and inducements are
held out to settlers that will allure many
who have never made up their minds
until now to go. Some never had the
means to go. Whether this will be for
the better or worse for this section We
will not pretend to say.
We might apologies to those who will
remain from this western emigration.
We have alluded to,them as slow, and
that the best blood went West, &c, and
we think this must of necessity be the
case. 1t takes grit and pluck to leave
home and surroundings, to cut loose
from all old associations and move out
among strangers and face the trials of
frontier life. This grit aud pluck tells in
the West when it gets there and goes
to work, and this has placed many of
the Western States so far along in the
road TO prosperity, and indeed ahead y
some of their Eastern sisters,

West Virpinia's Debt.

trsiher surprises us TO see with how much
favor Mr.. BLAlSE's proposition TO pay
West virginia's share OF Virginia's debt Is
received by the northern press. The Gin
cinnati Commercial says that there has
been no suggestion Of Importance equal to
this made in public affairs since the pro-
posed Congress Of American Nations was
discountenanced by the ARTHUR Admins
tration. The Chicago Tribune says OF 1t :
ain the matter OF having the Federal
Government interfering in aiding the s2te
OF Virginia 10 pay her ante-war debt Dy 2
sort OF compensation for the forcible sepa-
ration Of West Virginia there Is mucn 10
Ike said in the way OF precedent, II not OF
Justice. The case OF Texas Is q strong one.
There was an unrecogniZed claim by the
State Of Texas 10 large part OF the TERN,
tory acquired from Mexico. The United
States took possession OF this territory
Congress at last, as n peaceful eXtingulsn-
menf OF Texan title, paid s10,00O.000 to
that State. In the case OF West Virginia
the title of Virginia dated back OF the Re-
yolution. It was set aside by the hand OF
war and new State erected. As we paid
Mexico for territory taken by conquest, and
Texas for somewhat shadowy claim in
time Of peace, it is a question whether dis
membered Virginia shall be allowed any
thing to help her to pay her ante-war debt
In compensation for the richest part OF her
ancient domain, taken from her by force OF
arms"
Recollect Mr.. BLAINEs is not the
impracticable ard illogical proposition to
pay Virginia's debt because Virginia was
conquered; but a proposition to pay only
that part Of the debt which UNCLE SAM
ought TO assume because he took West Viz
ginia with all her resources away from NIr-
ginia. 1t would benefit Virginia not one
dime; because she in 1871 set off one third
OF the State debt to West Virginia, and
because the RIDDLEBERGER bill proposes to
repudiate good deal of the two thirds left
to Virginia. West Virginia may profit by
the suggestion. ARCHIE CAMPBELL, the
leading BLAINE Republican OF that State,
has always been in favor OF West Virginia's
