our enemies.

We have often commented upol
the folly OF some of Our farmers II
shipping their produce to marke
in an unripe and unstable condi
ton, and had hoped that they hat
learned wisdom from the lesson
taught them by experience sssssss r
p Justify the assertion that s,1'1 oa0s in
than some of them are. That folly
is especially shown in the ship
ments Of sweet potatoes this year
for instance potatoes shipped the
same day have Melted respectively
to the shippers from $500 to 40
ceuts per barrel. Why this disparity
10 the returnss There can only be
one answer-that while one barrel
has becu filled with marketable po
tatoes, another has contained trash,
that would be dlscreditable to q
swill barrel. The farmer, there
fore, who ships unstable potatoes
not only sacrifices a portion OF his
crop but the market Is thereby so
depressed, that as hrg a price con.
not be secured for the salable pro.
duct-by his folly decline i'll the
price results, which is seriouly felt
shen his potatoes are fit for mark
ct. Why the course pursued by
some Of our farmers in making
shipments, in view ofthe disastrous
consequences to them and to 9th
ers, is perhaps pertinent inquiry7
There can be only two explana-
tionS-either a laudable ambition
GU their part not to be beaten by
their neighbors in having their
produce first in market, or a desire
for their neighbours good pJtatoes
to sell their trashy ones. If for the
former reason then he has the rem
edy Of using better manures and
superior methods of cultivation.
selecting soil best adapted to the
growth Of the sweet potato &c.,-if
the latter, then the remedy is in
the hands of tic commission
merchant, and the returns this
year Indicate disposition Oh
their part to correct the evil. They
are selling each farmers potatoes
this year on their own merit aud
returns are being made accordingly.
Heretofore in many instances a
good barrel Of potatoes was worth
no more than poor one as the
same returns were made Tor all
Farmers now who send trash to
market will find it not only I'M
profitable but disreputable to do SO.
Returns to each shipper according
to the value of his potatoes vii
soon teach those who heretofore
have been too careless "t0 put up
their potatoes properly" that it will
pay to do so and those who hereto
fore have not cared what trash was
imposed upon the purchaser, if
good returns were made to them,
will soon learn that after all '.hon-
esty is the best policy" We but
voice the injunction of every good
commission merchant when we say
to our farmers in conclusion wait
until your potatoes are ripe, then
Gull them properly, put them In us
good barrels as you can secure and
ill them according to gospel meas
