GOvENLOC Nee awa, Man all these respects I firmly believe farm- ers are beyond the mark. The wave of popular opinion, like that of the sea, is oertain to oscilate beyond the mark both ways before it finds the desired level, and the opinion that it is better to cut grain green is doubtless beyond the mark in that direction to -day; for although the argument still holds good, in favor of wheat not being allowed to stand until dead ripe, to put it too green is a greater evil, and- greaterocare might, and should, be exercised in ali lowing the green portions of the fields to ripen. The loss too in bulk in cutting wheat too green is nearly, if not altogether as great as from shelling if allowed to properly ripen. In this as in all other things the happy medium is what is de- sired, and I trust the above remarks may help toward attaining it. Farmers will readily understand -that what is to -the millers interest in this respect is quite as much, or more, to their own. That farmer and miller go hand in hand regarding the desirability of raising grain of the best quality pos- sible. Further arguments could be of- fered against green cut grain, but trust that those herewith respect- fully submitted may be sufficient, and that theyiwillexcite among t community such thought an and I ventureIo say adopti may merit.
