/ Editor Of the Times
The farmers in and around our tartamcd city
have been verH busy of late and Their labors
seem destided to be crowned with success. Al
ready have many of them thrashed their wheat,
and the yield has been exceptionally abundant.
DR.. VIM. |. Boarman raised upwards OF SIX
hundred bushels from twenty-Slx acres, and
Mr.. VIM. Wheatley'S crop averaged about
twenty bushels to the If any farmer III
the vicinity of Fort Tobacco can boast OF any
greater success than this in the wheat depart
ment, please publish his name, Mr.. Editor, tor
/ | think such enterprlsing and energetic farmers
should be encouraged.
F In fact ii has often occurred to me, that if
our farmers, in this garden peninsula OF ours,
would pay more atten ion 10 the raising OF
cereals and devote their energies less exclusive
ly to the cultivation of tobacco, they would be
more abundantly provided for and realize more
ready money from the cultivation OF their
land
/ " hen farmer, rs many of our people have
often done hitherto, devoteS his land, time
labor and money exclusively TO the cultivation
of the tobacco crop, and that crop fails, as was
the case two years ago, the farmer Is failure
also but when he devuteS about equal poruODs
OF his farm to the cultivation OF wheat, corn
and tobacco respectively, he feels more secure,
the other 10 tall back upon.
The experience OF the last twenty years has
developed the fact, that Mary land and Virginia
do not enjoy, as II Was once supposed they dad
the monopoly of the tobacco trade and our
farmers realize at last the condition OF things,
AS hogsheadS almost innumerable of our tobd.-
co I'LL the warehouses in Baltimore and the
prices from the comparatively te" hogsheadS
that sold, are far less than were formerly

/ Those farmers who took advantage of tn
season, that occurred in June, and planted
their tobacco on Sunday, did vel according
to their ken and comprehension, bat those who,
contding N Providence, postponed their plat
ing, we're rewarded last week for their implicit
trust, 10y one Of the best seasons that could lie
desired
