The Patriot (?)

The Patriot of Wednesday has an article headed, *Government Landlo:d- ism.” io which it ix stated that a circular to the followiag effect has been sent to those in arrears to the Land Office:

“Send in your payments immediately or the Sheriff will be at your place next week.”

These words stand in italics at the head of the Patriot's article, and on them are founded very strong deuuuciations of the Government.

We have inquired at the Land Office and find that there is po trath whatever in the statement of the Patriot. Beyond furvishing statements of accounts, which

coutain no threat whatever, and the writing of about a dozen letters to farmers who have paid nothing for

pearly twenty years, co demands for pryment of arrears have emanated from the office during the past twelve months except through the Rogal Gazette.

Considering the honorable positions which the editor of the Patriot has filled io this Dominion, it is a pity that he would not be a jittl more particular as to the truth of what he writes.

The Government is undoubtedly to be blamed for remissvess in collecting movies due the Lund Office. We are told that there ure huudreds of rarms on which pot a cent has been paid for periods varying from twelve to eighteen years. Mawy of these farms are owned by men who are better able to pay than a large proportion of those who are regularly paying their instalmeuts.

Every howest right thinking man will at once say that detaulters of the above description should be proceeded against

But the Commissioner of Publie Lands prepares a precept, and, before issuing it, notifies the defuulter of his ivtention. The latter rnos to the Opposition press, and a howl is, for political purpose, raised aga nst the Land Commis-iover

It is, in our opiaion, just as immoral to attempt to prevent the collection of debts duc the public,by newspaper attacks, as it would be to endeavor in the sume way to prevent the collection of private debts. We are surprised that an ex- Governor,and ex-Cabinet Minister,should leod his paper for such au unworthy purpose,

Kixperiments in Thin Sowing.

James McGiuit, Ese, of Scotland. sends a very interestivg communication to the Dumfries and Galloway Courier on this subject. He had been in corres- pondence with Professor Blouut, of the State Agricultural College. of Colorado. Iu ove of his communications, Professor Biouut states that on revding the reports in the Highland aud Agricultural Society Trausaciions from different districts of Scotland, was astonished to learp that the Scotch farmers sow so much seed— three bushels per acre. If evenly aud regularly distributed such thick sowing places abou: four kernels of wheat upon every square inch of land, whereas Pro- fessor Biount found it took at least six- teen sequare inches for a kernel to carry out iis habits of growth according to the unchangeable laws of nature. When room evough was given wheat, every perfect yvrain would always produce in good soil from 10 to 150 tillers. He had raised 181 heads from one kernel without any sub-division whatever, and those heads made 7602 kernels, au aver- age of 42 to the hexd.

Protessor Biount had been experiment: ing twelve years, and finds that 30 pounds of seed will produce more and better results than a larger quantity —when sown at the right time.

One grain of wheat on a check, four inches square, would produce more aod better graiu than four grains on one square inch. For experimeutal purposes, Pro- fessor Blount sows 10 to 20 Ibs. only per acre, and has vever failed in twelve years with that amount of seed to make from 40 to 90 bushels per acre. 73 lbs. ouce (1876) planed aud cultivated on au exact acre gave 67 bushels and 17 Ibs. Last seasou 28 oz. on exactly 42 square rods, gave 18 busbels 6 Ibs. The wheat was sown io drills, two feet apart and cultivated twice,

The Professor has now 190 different varieties, all grown by himself from

seed received from every wheat growing vation in the world. Te is

testing them and improving them in every possible way, and says his best wheats yield as high as 40, 50, 60. 70, 80. and even 90 bushels per acre, (4 $40.09 yds.) and weigh from 60 to 7 pounds per bushel. He has made 36 successful crosses, and they average about 72 bushels per acre, aud 66 pounds per bushel. He sows vuly 30,0, wad

The Floods,

Along the Allegheny River, Pa., on the 5th, household goode were moved to the upper stories of houses, A bridge from Allegheny to Herr’s Island, in the All gh- eny River, was washed away, leaving 100 persons on the island without means of escape from the rising waters. Fresh fata- lities and disasters were reported every moment and more were anticipated. It is feared that all who were left on Herr’s I-land will perish. The railway suffered great damage, and the loss is estimated at $100,000. At Kilhaming, Pa., between s.venty-five and one hundred families are living in the second stories of buildings or have moved out entirely. There is great snffering on the account of the cold weather. All manufacturies were shut down at New- castle, Pa. At Toledo, Ohio, on the 5th, all railway tracks Jeading east and south and southwest were under water in many places. Several bridges were impassable. The ice gorge in Anglaize River, at Defiance broke, at midnight, flooding a portion of the town and compelling many families to leave their dwellings. At ell points along the Maumee River, between Toledo and Defiance, the water is still rising and there has been considerable destruction to pro- perty. Buildings are flooded and bridges damaged.

A TRERIBLE accident oceurred at McAdam Juncticn on the N. B. Railway on the 5th inst., which will, it is feared, be attended by fatal results. The freight train from Vanceboro to Woodstock, in charge of Conductor Haddock, was crawling up to the station, when a section man named Patrick Hanna was struck by the tender, thrown under the engine and dragged for several yerds. Both legs were broken in two places and the unfortunate man’s body was fearfully mangled. Dr. Black, of St. Stephen, was called and dressed his wounds, hut a fate! result seems inevitable. Hanna has a wife and six children, who live at McAdam.
