Gov. Russell, of Massachusetts,
done one good act recently that ought to
go a good ways towards securing his re-
election. We refer to his vetoing the
bill authorizing the Connecticut Riv
Railroad to water its stock $135.00 <
every $100.00 worth of share**, The
amount of stock issued is the basis u|«m
which the public is taxed,
nothing more nor lees than robbery to
permit the corporations to tax the i*eople
on fictitious values.
The abnormal condition presented of
our staple crop bringing in the market
leaa than the coat of its production, de
manded a change in onr methods, and
the comprehensive view of the acreage
devoted to the various crops, exhibited
by the tabulated statement, shows that
the farmers have done all in their power
under present conditions, to meet the
exigencies of the case.
The large area planted in cereals is a
appai .
where facilities for eupplyicg the North

and large cities offer a borne market. ai>

Here is the way the Alliance ia dying

before. In the HtSte of Washington
there b said to be whole oountie* where
there are not 2.5 voters who will vote
against the Alliance demand*. It looks
now like the reform movement is going
to WWp 1 the Republican party of the
northwest from the lace of the earth,
and yet they call it a Republican scheme
to break the Democratic party and let
the Republicans in. If it b, the pros
pects now surely indicate that the
scheme b going to work just like Ha-

All Farmers Should Belong to the All!-
When we remember that the farmers
have been forced to organize because all
other classes are organized, and there
fore have the power, if they desire,
take fdvantage of the unorganized and
consequent helpless condition of the
fanner, It seems strange that any farmer
will stand aloof from the only organiza
tion which promises, any relief to the de
pressed Industries of our country,
to be presumed that what b for the wel
fare of one farmer benefits every other
fanner. Why, then, should only a part
ealbt for a fight that is to free all alike?
What would we think of the man who
would not help defend his own home,
but shot himself up securely in hb own
_ house and let hb neighbors fight intru
dms from hb door, and not only not
sist in resisting the power of those who
seek to despoil hb and hb neighbor’s
home, bat actually ridicules those who
art trying to purge the community
the would-be robbers or assamins? This
b exactly what those farmers are doing
who refuse to go into the order, and rid-
icnle the effort* of those who are striving
to bring about needed reforms.
There are farmers who, being "well
fixed In life themselves, and not feeling
the hand of oppression so keenly
seem to think that things are all right,
and that the forusen’ efforts* at
form are unnecessary because no ref

they mean it nr not, abetting the enemy
and virtually helping the combine* to
tighten their grasp on the producers.

As an evidence of the care
taken by correspondents, it might be
said that there b no material difference
between the record and the report made
by them. In the amount of fertilizers
manipulated at borne, there b an in
crease in per cent over that of last year,
also in the amount of stable manure
used. These are encouraging results,

A great deal of interest hss been man
ifested in the cultivation of this plant
throughout the State. In nearly every
pert of the State experiments are being
made with a number of different varie
ties. After toe crop has been gathered
the adaptability of our soil to thb plant
will be thoroughly tested. While ad
vising experimental planting, we have
always suggested that a small acreage

demonstrated that tobacco can be made

will result, and we trust the experiments

While the beginning of the season lias
not been such in some sections of ihe

the recent rains, the results from which
we have received no official report, will
develop a more fnvorable prospect. The

CORA.-
In thb crop the largest increase in
acreage is shown, amounting in Middle
Georgia to over 17 per cent, and ovar
the State to over 14 per cent. The gen
eral tendency for several years has been
in the direction of planting a Urge area
in thb great food crop; hut at no tine
since record* of thb character have been
kept by the Department has so great an
increase been made. As to general con

previous years, the crop b good. The

Thb crop, which has been regarded as
more and more and more uncertain each
year, shows for the first time in several
years an increased acreage. A revival

by North Georgia, where at one time it
