AN EXPLANATION.


huntsville, December q, 1889.
TO tie Editor Of Ge Dispatch:
As there seems to be q miscOnstruction
of the report made go the Dispatch of the
18th rs to the scarcity Of corn in this re-
gion of country please allow me space for
explanation. In word, | simply intended
to convey the idea that owing to the fall
ure of the corn crop generally the scarcity
was greater than ever known. There were
fewer sellers and more buyers, all owing to
tho unprecedented adverse seasons Of
weather during the entire culture Of the
corn crop. Nor did mean TO convey the
impression of present suffering. not for q
moment, but upon certain contingencies
TO wit If the winter should be such as 10
preclude outdoor work. and the merchants
did not procure and keep on hand meal or
corn (as for years they have been able 10
do from home crops to supply the demand
such day-laborers with laree families as de-
pended upon their daily labor would suffer
without help, meaning such employment
as they could engage IN indoors. Then IN
the expression daily consumption |
should have said family consumption, and
not that these people were buying little
driblets of corn 90 feed their families day
after day That there is a great scarcity Of
corn. and very few sellers and many
buyers, must be admitted but attributa-
bic entirely to the failure of the corn crop,
and that failure owing solely 10 the phe-
nOmenal weather, such az 70 utterly pre-
clude its cultivation. We do not be-
leye that il Is worse in Essex county
than elsewhere in the State. We have as
good farmers and farm lands as are 10 be
found IN low Virginia, but they could not
control the seasons. There We're some few
small farmers who made good average
crops of corn even tins bad year. but very
few such. We hope no one IN search OF q
home will be deferred from casting their
lot in Essex on account of one bad season
in the failure of crops, tor there and here
abouts especially, they will find all the ia
cilities and advantages their enterprise and
industry may demand. We hope we shall
have no more such adverse seasons as those
OF this year. few years rest, too, will re-
stock the oyster beds. when oysters will
be plentiful and that trade be resumed as
in other days all along the Kappahannock.
Some. ii not oil. of the merchants here
will procure and keep on hand stock OF
corn to supply local demand, 50 all will be
we'll n.
