The following i3 the last on this

subject, at 'he present: From the Cayt'ja (N. T) Patriot. The culture of hemp is becoming n subject of much interest with thc farmera in thc northern and western sections of our state. Experience has fully pro

ved that our climate, and a very great portion of our soil, arc well adapted to the production of this plant. And thc opinion that its successful growth is exclusively confined to the alluvial bottom lands, has been fully demonstrated to be erroneous, by the farmers of Washington and Saratoga, as well as of the other parts of the state. It is with hemp as with ether crops, a rich soil will produce much more abundantly thau a poor soil. The encurngefnent which government is at all times desirous to afford

the hemp of our own growth, added to the cpetation of the Tariff, imposing a duty of ix(y dollars per ton upon imported hemp, must eccure to the American hemp the entire control of cur own maikcts. It is eaid that we import from foreign countries the annual amount of from nire to ton millions of dcl!c:s, in hemp and hempen goods iu all their vi . riou- descriptions, and that thus far the production of the artit'e in this country has not been sufficient to supply the. increased consumption, and that the im portations annually increase. It is a subject of great national in,' portance that this country should be in' depended of foreign supplies of an artide of eo great and general use, and of such absolute necessity . Our Eastern farmers are already raising hemp to considerable ttcnt, and to, very great proffit to themselves. The scarcity and consequent high price oi 6eed, renders it diflicult for thc farnjers generally to engage in thc immediate culture of the hemp for the lint, arid corsequentl) hae induced an attention to the i reduction
