There were four candidates in the field, the other two being William 4, Marian and M. A. Ilaney. The man agers were Esq. W. J. Brown, J. H. Jordan and S. R. Ilogg.

We again urge a still larger acreage of wheat and other grains. The raising of all the homo supplies U the road to independence. With every thing iu the way of necessary food raised at homo, the farmer need not feel sc uneasy about the price of cotton. If it is high, his profits are good; if low, he is not burdeuod with debt. It will soon be too late to plant wheat. Whatever is to bo dono on that line nmst bo done at once Mr. W. J. Bridges of Spalding county, who on 4 acres last spring made nn average of 05 bushels of wheat to the acre, says that “wheat should never be sown until after the first big frost in November, for then it \yill staud more successfully the ravages of the fly ot small grub that begins at the root aud saps tho vigor from the youug shoots.’- As Mr. Bridges has made such a suc cess of wheat growing, we give his method iu his owu words: “As to the lnud that I planted iu wheat this year, I gave it a heavy coat ing ot manure in the spring and theu planted it iu cotton. After I had gath ered tho crop, I ripped out the stalks and then turned tho land over with a two-horso plow, following that with o cut away harrow* then rolling it with a heavy roller. My wheat was theu pul in with a drill, using about 400 pound* of a special high grade potash fertilizei at tho same time. Iu planting tho wheat I put iu 105 pounds, or 1 bushel and 8 pecks to the acre.” Ho. used tho blue stem variety oi wheat, aud before planting soaked it iu bluestono, putting a pound of it into enough water to wet tho wheat thor oughly. It takes about a gallon of wa ter to every two bushels of wheat. Jhe bluestono should bo dissolved in boiling water. Tho land on which ho made this largo yield is a gray, loamy top soil with an undersoil of stiff red clay. On 10 acres which had been planted iu wheat for fchroo consecutive years Mr. Bridges mado an average of about 44 His wheat was Author of “Tho Choir IttvlNlblo.” • • • Til* New York Timkh BATtir DAI Review ban crealwt for itsoif n pnouTin and roritiollInK plnro.
