The Bohemian oat aettliera have been
reaping a rich harvest in Ohio ibis winter.
It isstated that fraudulently obtained
notes to the aatount of at least 050,000
have been placed for collectionin some of
the State counties. 'A .Haan was asked.
why he scent into the fraud:, " oh," said
he, `r' times ' were dull, and money scarce,
and this seemed a good way to earn money
and. so 1 went into it.," , To their sorrow,
Canadian farmers in several districts
know something of the Bohemian oat bus-
iness, and a correspondent of the Adver•
•tiser a few days ego deacribed how an at-
tempt•yras made to swindle him by a site«
filar dodge, t'he:grain in this case beiu;
spring wheat, He aiscicaed the fact that
many of his neighbors had 'been sadly
taken in by signing papers,, the nature of
which they did not comprehend, and he
warned farmers against all travelling hum -
begs. In Ohio it has been the same old
story—a promise of getting 'eomdthing
for nothing and giving a promissory note
to secure .the "nothing," The oat .4s4
"Potation" agree to sell the crop of oats for
$10 per bushel. After the•notes are given
and sold, the farmers '.find that they are
the association who have really agreed to
sell their own oats, and thus, the bottom
- falls out of their golden dream. They
have then only the word of the agents that
they willsell the oats, and when next year
comes, the agents, like birds of passage,
• have emigrated' to fresher fields, where
the old bait will catch fresh gudgeons. It
wag really pitiful to hear some of these
farmers --who were both trying to, evade,
paying- their eat n'otes, ,and at the same
time trying to • borrow. ' money , 'with
which to pay them. The fact was, eery
one of these " bitten" farmers; when 'they
bought the oats and gave their notes, did
. so in full .expectation of selling some other
farmer's oats at 26 times their acteahvalue,
and intended to pocket the proceeds.
So serious have this and other frauds
practised become, whore the whole basis
of the swindle rests upon notes of• land,
that various Legislative measures are pro
posed tin protect the ". gullibles," e.the timo of harrowing in spring. Grain
The hist swindle being sold in the State sowed broadcast'. by itself should nares} s
be harrowed. several'times. Multiu.des
°bf weedy are thus killed, and the stir.
ing.of the soil is a great advantage.
Grass soave by ' itself will: almost uni-
formly give satisfaction. The. earlier
springgrains are sown tate better. Per -
