FROM STATE BUs1-
-, NESS AGENT.

The attention of members of the
Alliance is called to- the following i'm
portant letter, from our State Business
Agent, :Bro:::W A. Darden.
SPE1dHFs BR1DaE; N. c., Oct. 3, '8S.
Col. il: L.@RoLK.NDsar Ssr:-You
will please say to the brethren of the
Alliance through TIE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, t~hat,rafter the lth of this
month I expect to make my headquar-
ters in Raleigh, and all communica-
tions intended for the State Business
Agent .will be- addressed to me at that
place after that date.
- It has :beenTsuggested to me to call
the County Agents together at Raleigh
at some future day to consult with
them in, regard to the best plan Of op-
Grating the Agency [ think the sug-
gestion a good one, if the different
agents could spare the time and the
expenses to attend, but Of course it
would be matter entirely optional
with them, If only a few however
should attend, the meeting might re-:
suit in good. l therefore make the
request that all the County Agents
who can meet me in the city of Raj
eigh on Friday the 26th Of the present
month. Hla-1'5+ Da1H j. 49, a1a

other points along the Wilmington &

ton growing sections. .4r no "2'+
=" [ suppose that some are becoming
restless because the Agency is accom-
plishing so little, but you must.remem-
Der brethren, that; we cannot accom-
plish anything without commercial
standing; we are yet. in our infancy
and we must not expect too much; no
great undertaking can be perfected in
a single day.e~We suppose the Agency
Fund will be completed in November,
and then with that asa basis upon
which to operate weimay begin to- see
the fruits of our 1abors. aIa ! HF4l *
d Our people are united uponthe bag
cling question, and it is the first time
in the whole history of our country
that they have acted as a unit upon
any question affecting their own in
terest; and we are seeing already. the
good effects Of this united action upon
the part Of our farmers. Let us then
have patience and work on, and 9" In
due time we shall reap, If we faint not"
Yours truly.

sow WHEAT.

Wheat has jumped to $3.50 per
bushel in the West, with the prospect
of going to two dollars in the spring,
Flour, of course, will be proportions
ately high. Flour in the Raleigh
market has advanced $3.50 per barrel
within the past week. Let all farm
ers sow some wheat. Get good seed,
make the soil rich and prepare it
thoroughly, and make your own bread.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Again wa want to say to Dur CORES
pondents- that they must give us their
real names if they expect us to publish
their articles. We must have their names
as a guarantee of good faith. And again,
we must ask our friends-all-to con-
dense what they have to say-boil it
down. We are anxious to give as great
variety as possible to our readers, and to
do this the articles should be short and to
the point.

we presume is for local consumption.
Fifteen hundred bales gone to pay for
corn, meat and hay! Five dollars per

corn, meat and hay!--and three months
of the year yet to hear from. And all
this in one of the very finest farming
sections in all the South. Is there a
man in all this broad land outside Of a
lumatic asylum, who cant see Hard
Times, Hard Living, Bankruptcy and

of the figures above? And this ruin

cotton States for owe twenty years,
and we are still-alive! In no land ex-
cept the South and by none except the
Southern people,, could such a mad
