A correspondent vi The LlntiAua,l
Commercial Gazette writing ofthe "poss-
Utilities of the Cumberland Plateau"
and visit to Rugby, says she chad the
pleasure of making the tour of o rye
field at Freforest farm, that had been
pronounced by native expert to be
fit only to raisea crop of grasshoppers.
The average stalks in that field were
full six feet high, some ambitious spears
standing mp foot or 50 above their
fellows" The writer also well describes
the Savage Club garden, under the
care of Mr.. Dyer, as "the model vege-
table garden on the plateau. Hero are
raised in perfection peas, beans, toma-
toes, English lettuce-the heads six
teen inches high, bound up to bleach
the leaves, and make them as white
and crisp as celery; cabbages as big as
water~buckets, a very thrifty plan
tation of vines, and much else &c."
Of "the culture of the vine, which
has been quietly in progress for the
past two years, land which promises
to be, in the near future, the leading
agricultural interest at Rugby" the
writer names several local experiment
ters who have given special attention
to this matter, and have demonstrated
that the soil is wonderfully well suited
to grape culture" Mr.. Letorey's well
known success at Wartburg is instanced,
and prophecy thrown out that i'll
some ten years hence we shall "drink
Yandilla' and Chateau Uffington'worth
halfa sovereign bottle, and made
from grapes grown in Rugby vine
yards"

The present is a very suitable time
to record in the black and white of
newspaper immortality, the ability, un-
firing energy and patience shown by
Mr.. Walton, during the past two years,
in working to put the case of the Board
of Aid, in it's defence against Mr.. Field
er, before the Federal Court in such a
way as to secure and of that there is
no doubt whatever-a decision in favor
of the Board. Very few persons, out
side of those Immediately acquainted
with Mr.. Walton, know the zeal, not
only of duty, but of affection,-if
such term may be used--he has dis
played in working up the case, and
otherwise leaving no stone unturned
that promised to further the work of
defence.
In having two such able assistants as
Messrs. c. II. Wilson and G H. Black
lock, Mr.. Walton, we are very sure,
would be the first to admit he has been
exceptionally fortunate.

The price of wheat in the Chicago
market, the greatest primary grain
market in the world, has declined to
about so cents per bushel, and pos
sibly it may touch q still lower fig
ure. 1t has not been rs low at this
season of the year, when water nav
igatlon is just about opening, in
twenty-five years, and the amount of
wheat in sight at the present writing
is simply enormous. W hile the old
stock on hand has filled the ware.
houses and granaries to bursting,
the prospect of the new Winter
wheat crop is good for the season,
and the preparation for putting in
broader acreage of Spring wheat
was made complete by liberal Fall
plowing. Added to all this, there
is very little foreign demand, no
prospect of a foreign war of any ac-
count, and the low prices for grain
in the Liverpool market sympathize
with low prices in America.
1t is obvious that we have been
raising too much wheat in the Unit
ed States, and it is time for our ag-
riculturists to call halt Wheat
cannot be proftably raised in the
six New England States for less than
81 per bushel, in New York, Penn
sylyania and Ohio it is worth $l50
to raise it; it cannot be grown in the
great corn belt States of the West
for less than 81 per bushel to the
farmer, and il is not until the cheap
and productive wheat lands west Of
the Mississippi river are reached
that this valuable cereal can be of
fered at the railway stations for less
than 81 per bushel. To say nothing
Of speculation, there is not bushel
of wheat taken to the Chicago mar
ket and sold for less than 81 per
bushel that does not entail a loss
upon those who raise or those who
handle it There may be small sec
tions Of wheat lands in Dokota and
Minnesota which ought to be except
ed from this remark, but it is true in
its general application.
