THE wise advice to the farmers of Virginia

The wise advice 10 the farmers Of Virginia
with reference TO the diyersiication of agri-
cultural pursuits, set forth in the recent inter
view with Major A. II. Drewry. which appear
ed in the Religious Herald OF this city. is CON-
mented on very favorably in a number OF our
exchanges. The South Boston Times. which
represents the farming interests Of its section
of the State with exceptional earnestness and
ability. has taken up the suggestion and calls
the special attention of its readers to il. IF
the owners OF our lands" it urges. would
only get ont Of the old ruts in which they
have been going for a long time, il would be
well for them. This one idea of tobacco will
not do. 1t does not pay the planter a good
living reward tor the hard. laborious services
rendered. The advice is plant less; aim
to cultivate less, and by all means
make 1t good. With less acreage cultivated
and al the farm manure concentrated on a
small lot and made rich. good crops may 10
looked for with confidence. But our advice
Is, make loss efforts at raising tobacco. which
the planters say does not pay, and devote
your time and energies to something that
will be remunerative."
If our contemporary will examine the his
tory Of Virginia from the days Of Sir Thomas
Dale, a few years after the foundation of the
jamestown colony, down to tho present time
he will discover that the Yirginians have al
ways been distinguished by an unconquerable
desire TO raise tobacco at the expense of every
othor product. Unfortunately. the old colo
NAL system Of prescribing the amount 10 be
cultivated cannot be restored, and we are
afraid that the disposition to di-
yersify our industries will always have in
many parts OF Virginia this immemorial habit
planting tobacco to contend with. If the
habit IS to be continued even when unproft-
able let 1t at least be associated with a num-
OF other agricultural industries. which
wall not only be II source Of income. but also |
tend to increase the fertility of the soil.

SOME Republican newspapers are trying 20
give themselves some consolation by circu-
lating q report that Hill earnestly desires
the defeat of Flower in New York. and will
work quietly against him. because Flowers
discontinue would mean that Hill is the only
Democrat that can control the Empire State,
and therefore the only man available as the
Democratic presidential nominee. This is. of
course, all Il Republican canard. Governor
Hill is both too good n Democrat and too
smart a politician to deliberately work to de-
feat his party, no matter what imaginary ad-
vantage might enure to him thereby.
