self of the true condition of the tobacco

self of the true condition of the tobacco and can purchase 1t accordingly.
 The Gazette in a recent issue pub li~hed statement from a Mir Fem, of Washington, in which Fenn was classed as an upright man. and great stress was put on his sayings from the fact that it was the words of an ex-Selectman The following week another party gave the G ,zette altogether different experlence he had had with the buyers, and signed himself ex-Selectman. Last week the Gazette contained a short effusion of feeble fiction gathered from some weak brained flop for the purpose of anticipa- ting the "Ex" appeudage attached to the last writer. This majestic failure was signed Ex- gate tender New Mil forl Agricultural Associations" he being ,e ex- gate tender may account for the complete wreck of the association, and the advertised sale of the grounds and buildings at auction on the 24th inst.
 The following from the U. $. Tobacco Journal of March 2d., may properly follow the above PACKER.
 New Milford. Ct., March 5.
 Buyers and farmers are both straining their ne ks to see the proposed Contract which is in the future to be used between both parties, that Is hinted will be promulgated from "The Ga- zette" office, the substance of which may be as follows:
 ARTICLE 1.-I, the party of the first part (the buyer). here agree to and with the party of the second part Ihe farmer). tn purchase his crop of tobacco raised A D. lS-, anu to pay him the sum of S- or cents per pound, and to take all risks If it Is damaged by frost. hail, white veins, flea bite, fat butts, black tips, pole burn, worm eaten, weather beaten or rotten, 1t shall be considered merchantable and in good condition, and shall be received and paid for by tine party of the first part at the option of delivery by the party of the second part.
 ARTICLE 2.-1, the party of the second part the farmer), agree to and with the party of the first part (the buyet), to deliver to him my crop of tobacco raised A. D. 1S-, at S-or- cents per pound, in any condition the same may be In when am | mind to do so con- .iitioned that am under no obligation to use any care in handling my crop of tobacco. and am privileged to fill the centre of any and all bundles with stalks, suckers, and occasionally stone Is can fud one on my farm. It is further my inalienable right to resell my crop herein bargained, to anyone who offers me any advance on the price herein specified and agreed upon, and If the party of the first part shows any signs of dissatisfaction or expresses one word that there Is any damaged tabacco m my crop, l then have business right to publish him thief and scoundrel in the trade.
 Should this contract work we'll and be If more benefit to the farmers than past and present oral contracts have been, 1t Is proposed another year to add to the contract clause that buyers shall pur- chase crops at the time of setting the plants, so that their risks shall be more hazardous aud their losses more sure This feature of what may come Is '' identical with the tone of The Gazettes correspondents.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
THE TOBACCO CONTROVERSY.

THE TOBACCO CONTROVERSY.
 Editor of Ne,cs:
 For the past few weeks the tobacco industry of this place has been the theme of The Gazette leaders, and it has shown remarkable signs of journal istic activity in the publication of serials upon matter it knows but a little of, using for its pointers hints gleaned from what are termed "sore- heads," properly classified as tobacco raisers who do not understand what damage in tobacco is, and could not palm of on intelligent buyers poor and worthless crops at exhorbitant prices.
 The fact is, (The Gazette dou't see i,) as long as tobacco growers will sell their tobacco in the field, or on the poles, or before it is stripped and ready for market, there will be always more or less grumbling and differences re- garding the true condition of tobacco at delivery, especially in such wet seasons for curing down as has just passed, when the grower of tobacco contracts to deliver his tobacco in merchantable condition, free of pole sweat, rust, frost bitten and all causes that may damage tobacco, in good pack ing order. not too wet or too dry, not heated in the bundle) before the tobacco is harvested, or cured on the poles, he assumes too much, sometimes more than he can fulfill the elements may be against him; he cannot counteract the inevitable result iu tobacco produc- ton. The custom of selling tobacco in this section has become So reckless that I have no doubt that in the future the tobacco will be sold before it is planted, and growers will contract to deliver good. sound tobacco. not thinking that few minutes of hail or . long shower and blow will destroy their crops, and render them unable to fulfll their contract. Every grower of tabacco who does not sell his crop until 1t is stripped and ready for market is vise. for he cannot very we'll receive Lea than he bargained for, unless he is careless in curing and in the delivery = it, then the bnyer can iudss for him.
