Suggestions to Farmers.

Correspondence Of the Demccrss.
RUssgLLvrLLE, Ark, Sept To-
Many farmers who are destroying
the productiyeness OF their farms by
shallow works as they find that their
crops are diminishing think only OF
extending their area by adding new
acres Of surface as if they supposed
their title deeds only gave them the
right to six inches deep OF eartt. III
they will take these deeds, study
their meaning. and apply the lessons
to their feds, they will socn realize
ia three fields crops the fact that the
law has given them three farms
where they supposed they had but
one. in other words that the sub
soil brought up and combined with
the top soil and enriched with the
atmospheric influences and those
other elements which agricultural
science viii teach them to apply to
their ground viii increase three fold
the measure of its productiveness.
If our farmers instead of iaboring to
double their acres would endeayor
to double crops, they would find it =
vast saving of time and toll aud in
crease Of profits Many OF them
never think Of digging ten inches
into the soil unless they have dream
ed about crock of gold bid in the
earth, but If they. would get about
the work of digging it in earnest
every man would find his crock Of
gold without the aid of dreams or
diyines. OCEANS QUIRK.
