AGENTS WITHOUT NUMBER.

The number of fertilizer agents has
increased quite rapid during the past
winter. 1t looks as though there might
be a good crop of agents at least if not
from the fertilizers they sell. There
ought to be some profit in the business
somewhere. While every thing else has
dropped in price, certainly the crops
they produce has, they remain very near
ly the same as 10 years ago. The farm
ers don't quite understand why this
should be. The glib-tongued agents are
loaded full of reasons which they think
ought to convince every sound minded
man. But as the farmers have to wait
until their crops are grown, harvested,
marketed and pay received for their re
turns, they are inclined to think serious
