There's a popular rumor that Fuyuhiko was supposed to die in 2-3, but they changed it at the last minute to one of the other victims.
I take it with a grain of salt because nobody seems to be able to track down a source, but it does seem plausible.
The reason I find it plausible is because it does feel like they speedrun his character development after 2-2. Like, the similar character Byakuya was a character we were meant to be with for the entire game, and he spends the whole game steadily growing and developing his relationship with the group over time.
Fuyuhiko basically wakes up in 2-3 fully developed and changed. He springs out of his hospital bed with newfound feelings of love and friendship, and promptly races off to become everyone's bestie. What friction still exists is solely because of Hiyoko's disdain for him, which becomes part of the plot for 2-3.
I could see where they might have been setting up for Fuyuhiko to be tragically murdered before he could truly be accepted into the group. It's believable that this might have been where the story was meant to go. He doesn't really have much to do for 2-4 and 2-5. For the rest of the game, he's basically just a warm body to fill out the cast. His story is complete as of about midway through 2-3.
...
But the main reason, other than lack of source, that I can't buy into it is his Free Time Events. Fuyuhiko isn't freed up for Free Time Events until 2-4.
I feel like, if they were planning to kill him in 2-3, we would have been allowed at least one chapter to Free Time with him before he died. Even Mukuro got that much. It'd be a dick-move to block you from Free Timing with him literally until he dies and then make his Free Time into strictly post-game content.
V3 sorta does something like that with a couple of characters, but it's complicated. You aren't actually blocked from Free Timing with anybody; It's just that specific versions of their Free Time Events aren't available during the main game.

Learn more about craft malt producer, Admiral Maltings, and the California distilleries and breweries who use their grains.
Tumblr media
Press Release
Alameda Point, Calif. ...  The San Francisco Bay Area is steeped in a storied history with premium barley. A top export from the 1860s - 1940s, barley was among one of the essential California commodities transported to the United Kingdom. With the recent surge of new craft breweries and distilleries throughout the state, renowned craft maltster Admiral Maltings is at the center of a California Liquid Gold Rush spotlighting specialty releases with ingredients that are distinctly Californian. In a matter of three years since the opening of Admiral Maltings (2017 - 2020), a new category of California single malt whiskeys are hitting the market featuring Admiral's artisanal malt varieties contributing singular characteristics. Valiant efforts by Admiral Maltings and the University of California, Davis have resuscitated the region as a preeminent source for exceptional barley, and its malted counterpart. UC Davis' registration of Butta 12, as an official malting barley grown in the California Central Valley, signifies a trend towards modern, locally bred malting barley varieties. Dr. Lynn Gallagher, the plant-breeding scientist primarily responsible for developing Butta 12, is publishing his research that led to the release of Butta 12 in Wiley Publishing's Journal of Plant Registration in the coming months. Admiral's resurrection of the uniquely California Atlas Heritage Barley draws on an older, heritage barley variety as evidence of the evolution of barley throughout the Sacramento Valley and south to North Los Angeles. In turn, local barley production embarks on a renaissance in the form of a viable land resource for California's handcrafters of top tier libations. For the first time in decades, craft distillers and brewers have unparalleled access to ingredients with idiosyncratic terroir for their singular products. Admiral Maltings proudly connects California's acclaimed distillers/brewers with regional farms growing barley and other grains (wheat, rye, oats) for ingredients that are reflective of the land and Mediterranean sub-climates as well as pathways towards a more sustainable footprint. With distinguished valleys and appellations defining California's world-class wine industry, the state now boasts an emergence of California-style single malt whiskeys showcasing the finest of ingredients solely harvested within its borders. In addition to the newly emerging California-style single malt whiskeys, California distillers are further finding a myriad of ways to employ locally grown and malted grain into their creations. The onsite pub The Rake at Admiral Maltings debuts for the first time in modern California history eight exclusive whiskeys from local distillers using Admiral malts, including: Pekut & Carwick's "Maiden Voyage," Seven Stills's "Eau de Oyster," 117° West's "California Single Malt," 117° West's "Yolo Gold," 117° West's "West Coast Whiskey," Workhorse Rye's "Virgin Cask V3," Golden Gate Whisky's "Golden Gate Whisky," and Golden Gate Whisky's "Mizunara Single Cask." For detailed whisky descriptions, please download The Rake's new Spirits Menu (LINK). Admiral Maltings provides artisanal malts to almost 300 breweries and over 30 distilleries. One might say that Admiral Maltings is doing something old, something new with things that are old and new. Sierra Nevada Brewing is certainly one of the first, if not the first major modern brewery to brew an all California beer - its Estate Series. For many years now, Sierra Nevada's CCOF organic Estate Ale has been brewed with hops and barley grown on its estate in Chico, California. For this year's harvest, Sierra Nevada focused on growing the newer malting varieties developed at UC Davis, Butta 12 and Tahoe. In turn, this has led to an outstanding harvest of over 60,000 lbs. of malting barley, which Admiral Maltings will floor malt for Sierra Nevada's Estate Ale. Seismic Brewing Company (Santa Rosa, CA) collaborates with Admiral for a 100% California grown, malted, and brewed beer: Tremor California Light Lager (4.2% ABV). With a dedication to crafting high-quality beers in an environmentally sustainable manner, Seismic is among an uptick of breweries leading a new way of brewing with all state-grown ingredients for a truly California tasting experience. Tremor California is crisp and refreshing with Admiral's Pilsner Malt giving it tremendous body and a clean, balanced malt flavor. The first official California Light Lager, the effervescent lager is made exclusively with organic West Coast hops and 100% local organic barley. East Brother Beer (Richmond, CA) brings back an American Lager style with the use of a landrace, heritage California variety of 6-row barley. The brewery's Pre-Pro Lager harkens to the old, pre-prohibition days using an heirloom, California-grown and malted Atlas barley. Atlas barley was the foundation of the California malt and brewing industry for the first half of the 20th century. The Spanish originally brought the barley over from Morocco where it got its name from the Atlas Mountains. Dry-farmed for decades near Paso Robles, Admiral malted five tons of Atlas barley especially for East Brother's Pre-Prohibition Lager. Adjacent to Admiral Malting's germination floor sits a pub unlike any other in the world at The Rake. With its intimate view of the floor malting process in action, Admiral offers a dynamic beer list (20 taps) including Seismic Brewing's Tremor California Light Lager and East Brothers' Pre-Prohibition Lager, as well as the eight brand new California whiskeys. The Rake is a mecca for beer and spirits geeks with its constant rotation of freshly brewed beers and exquisitely distilled whiskeys made with Admiral malt. San Francisco Chronicle put The Rake on its shortlist of "The Bay Area's Best New Places to Drink" in 2018. Admiral Maltings is hard at work trendsetting the local malt movement throughout California with their eye on the prize to encourage craft brewers/distillers in all corners of the country to embrace locally sourced, high quality, and eco-friendly ingredients. For more detailed information regarding Admiral Maltings and The Rake, please visit: admiralmaltings.com and therake.admiralmaltings.com. About Admiral Maltings Admiral Maltings produces premium quality malt using unique barley, wheat, rye and oat varieties, traditional floor-malting methods and sustainably grown, locally sourced grain.

Evaluation of Potential Very Early Rice Genotypes with Different Levels of Nitrogen under Aerobic Situation-Juniper Publishers
Tumblr media
Rice is an important staple food crop for majority of the world population. Aerobic rice system is a new way of growing rice that needs less water than low land rice. It is grown like an upland crop (maize, wheat, Oats etc.) in soil, which is un-puddled, non-flooded or saturated. On the other hand, optimization of applied nitrogen at critical growth stages, coinciding with the period of efficient utilization is essential to meet the nitrogen requirement of crop through-out the growing season. On the basis of this fact an experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2013 at Rice Research Station, Bankura, West Bengal, India. The soil of experimental field was sandy loam in texture with medium in fertility status. This experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications and compared two factors [nitrogen levels (3) and AVT-VE rice cultures: Direct seeded (7)] to identify promising and stable genotypes under direct seeded condition in aerobic situation and study the grain yield potential, nitrogen response and use efficiency of promising AVT-2 rice cultures [AVT-VE (Direct Seeded)] grown in aerobic conditions under high and low input management in rice. Recommended fertilizer dose (RFD) was N, P2O5, K2O @ 80, 40, 40kg ha-1 (N: 25% as basal, 50% at active tillering stage and 25% at panicle initiation stage). Three (3) levels of Nitrogen (kg ha-1) [N1 - 50% recommended nitrogen (RN) - 40, N2 - 100% recommended nitrogen (RN) - 80, N3 - 150% recommended nitrogen (RN) - 120] were randomly allotted in the three main plots; while seven very early rice cultures [V1 = IET 22020, V2 = IET 22743, V3 = IET 22744, V4 = Anjali, V5 = Varalu, V6 = Vandana and V7 = Siddhanta (Local check)] were randomly allotted in the seven sub plots of each main plot. Three rice cultures belonging to AVT VE – DS (Direct seeded) [IET 22020, IET 22743 and IET 22744] were evaluated along with Anjali, Varalu, Vandana and Siddhanta (local check) under three levels graded levels of nitrogen 50, 100 and 150% of RDN during kharif 2013. The experimental results revealed that grain yield differences among the cultivars were significant. IET cultures recorded significantly higher grain yields over standard and local check (cv. Siddhanta). IET 22020 recorded highest grain yield of 3.51t ha-1. Incremental doses of nitrogen influenced the grain yield significantly. Application of 150% of RDN recorded significantly higher grain yield of 3.6t ha-1. The N response was higher (34.36) at 100% RDN as compared to 150% RDN.Keywords: Promising very early rice cultures; Nitrogen levels; Grain yield and aerobic direct seeded condition
Introduction
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is most economically important food crop and grown across the world. Most people of the world depend on rice for their secured livelihood and a way of life. It is the staple food for more than 65 per cent of the people and provides employment and livelihood to 70 per cent of the Indians. There is a need to enhance the productivity of the rice to meet the growing demand under conditions of declining quantity and quality of land [1]. Rice is an important staple food crop of the world. Aerobic rice system is a new way of growing rice that needs less water than low land rice. It is grown like an upland crop (maize, wheat, Oats etc.) in soil, which is un-puddled, non-flooded or saturated. Aerobic rice system is the method of cultivation, where the rice crop is established by direct seeding (dry or water-soaked seed) in un-puddle field and non-flooded field condition [2]. The usual way of planting aerobic rice is the same as we would plant the other cereal crops like wheat, oats or maize by direct seeding. There is no need of raising of seedling in nursery bed and puddle operation in the main field [3]. Nitrogen plays an important role to promote the plant growth and ultimately in determining the yield of rice. Nitrogen is the key element in the production of rice and gives by far the largest response. It is the most essential element in determining the yield potential of rice and nitrogenous fertilizer is one of the major inputs to rice production [4]. However, recovery of applied nitrogen in rice is very low owing to various losses. Optimization of applied nitrogen at critical growth stages, coinciding with the period of efficient utilization is essential to meet the nitrogen requirement of crop throughout the growing season [5]. Almost every farmer has the tendency to apply costly N fertilizer excess to get a desirable yield of Aman rice [6], but the imbalance use of N fertilizer causes harm to the crop and decreases grain yield. It is also a fact that improper use of nitrogenous fertilizer, instead of giving yield advantage, may reduce the same. Nitrogen management is an important aspect for obtaining good yield of rice. Optimum dose and schedule of fertilizer application is necessary to achieve higher yields, minimize lodging and damage from insect pests [7]. Sangeetha and Balakrishnan [8] reported that lower grain yield of rice obtained with absolute control which did not receive organic manures and recommended NPK addition. Nitrogen fertilization and proper time of its application is the major agronomic practice that affects the yield and quality of rice crop [9]. Different varieties may have varying responses to N-fertilizer depending on their agronomic traits. Now a days the identification and release of high yielding very early rice varieties, it becomes imperative to make a comparative assessment of the growth studies and their influence on grain yield under different nutrient combination. Of the mineral nutrients, nitrogen plays a major role in utilization of absorbed light energy and photosynthetic carbon metabolism in many biochemical and physiological activities of plant [10,11]. Its deficiency or excess application may adversely affect these processes and ultimately reduces crop yield. On other hand, genetic character of a variety limits the expression of yield. Rice cultivars differ in their potential to respond to high fertility conditions. Selection of suitable varieties and their nutrient requirements have great relevance in boosting up productivity of upland rice in aerobic direct seeded situation. Selection of proper variety suitable to the specific ecological situation may prove to be a boon to the farmer. Keeping these points in view the present research was taken up. Hence this study was proposed to identify promising and stable very early rice genotypes under direct seeded condition in aerobic situation and study the grain yield potential, nitrogen response and use efficiency of promising AVT-2 rice cultures (very early) [AVT-VE (Direct Seeded)] grown in aerobic conditions of red and laterite zone of West Bengal under high and low input management in rice.
Materials and Methods
To identify promising and stable genotypes under direct seeded condition in aerobic situation and study the grain yield potential, nitrogen response and use efficiency of promising AVT-2 rice cultures/genotypes (very early) [AVT-VE (Direct Seeded)] grown in aerobic conditions of red and laterite zone of West Bengal under high and low input management in rice, a field experiment was conducted during kharif season, 2013 at Rice Research Station, Bankura, West Benagl, India. Main objectives of this experiment were to identify promising and stable genotypes under direct seeded condition in aerobic situation and study the grain yield potential of promising AVT-2 rice cultures/genotypes (very early) under high and low input management in rice (direct seeded condition). The soil of experimental field was sandy loam in texture. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design in 3 replications. Recommended fertilizer dose (RFD) was N, P2O5, K2O @ 80, 40, 40kg ha-1 (N: 25% as basal, 50% at active tillering stage and 25% at panicle initiation stage). Three (3) levels of Nitrogen (kg ha-1) [N1 - 50% recommended nitrogen (RN) - 40, N2 - 100% recommended nitrogen (RN) - 80, N3 - 150% recommended nitrogen (RN) - 120] were randomly allotted in the three main plots; while seven very early rice cultures [V1 = IET 22020, V2 = IET 22743, V3 = IET 22744, V4 = Anjali, V5 = Varalu, V6 = Vandana and V7 = Siddhanta (Local check)] were randomly allotted in the seven sub plots of each main plot. Three rice cultures belonging to AVT VE – DS (Direct seeded) [IET 22020, IET 22743 and IET 22744] were evaluated along with Anjali, Varalu, Vandana and Siddhanta (local check) under three graded levels of nitrogen 50, 100 and 150% of RDN during kharif 2013. The source of N, P2O5 and K2O were urea, single super phosphate (S.S.P.) and muriate of potash (M.O.P.), respectively. 25% of recommended dose of N and full dose of P2O5 and 75% of K2O were applied as basal. 50% of recommended dose of nitrogen was top dressed at active tillering stage and rest 25% N along with 25% K2O were applied at panicle initiation stage. The field was drained before application of fertilizers and one week before harvest. Initial soil sample were collected and were analyzed for important properties using standard procedures. The soil was slightly acidic (pH 5.6) in nature, EC: 0.17 dsm-1, organic carbon (%): 0.42, available P2O5 45kg ha-1 and K2O 188kg ha-1, respectively. Plot size was 4m × 3m, whereas the crop geometry was line (row) to line (row) 20 cm with continuous direct sowing. Pendimethalin (PE) @ 1.0kg a.i. ha-1 at 1 day after sowing (DAS) and 2, 4-D Na salt (80 WP) @ 0.08kg a.i. ha-1 at 20 DAS was applied. One hand weeding was done at 45 DAS. Observation on yield parameters and yield was recorded. Data was statistically analyzed. The 5m2 area in the middle of each plot was harvested for recording grain yield. Ten rice hills outside the harvested area were selected and harvested separately for recording panicle weight. The number of matured panicles per m2 area in the middle of each plot was recorded.
Results and Discussion
The effects of various levels of nitrogen (N) and very early rice genotypes/varieties on various parameters have been presented in Tables 1 and 2.
Nitrogen levels
The yield attributes of potential very early rice genotypes/ varieties were found to be differed due to applied nitrogen levels. Each increase in the N-level increased number of panicles m-2 and matured panicle weight resulting higher yield attributes and grain yield (Table 1). Thus, at 150% recommended nitrogen (RN) i.e 120kg N ha-1, the yield attributes recorded maximum number of panicles m-2 (350), panicle weight (1.85g) and finally recorded highest grain yield (3.60t ha-1) than lower fertilities. It was significantly higher than other levels (rate) of nitrogen. While, at 100% recommended nitrogen (RN) i.e 80kg N ha-1 the yield attributes recorded second highest number of panicles m-2 (337), panicle weight (1.62g) and finally recorded second highest grain yield (3.22t ha-1) during investigation. While, at 50% recommended nitrogen (RN) i.e 40kg N ha-1 the yield attributes recorded lowest number of panicles m-2 (225), panicle weight (1.36g) and finally recorded lowest grain yield (1.84t ha-1) during investigation. It was significantly lower than other levels (rate) of nitrogen in this experiment. The experimental results revealed that among the nitrogen levels, the highest grain yield (3.6 t ha-1) was recorded with 150% recommended nitrogen (RN) i.e 120kg N ha-1 and it was statistically significant higher than 100% recommended nitrogen (RN) i.e 80kg N ha-1 (3.22t ha-1) and 50% recommended nitrogen (RN) i.e 40kg N ha-1 (1.84t ha-1), respectively. There was a significant increase in grain yield with the increase in N level from 40 to 120kg ha-1 and further increase in N level upto 120kg ha-1 could increase the grain yield significantly (Figure 1).
The improvement in yield attributing traits may be ascribed to the improved vegetative growth due to nitrogen fertilization, facilitating photosynthesis, thereby increasing translocation of organic food materials towards the reproductive organs; which enhanced the formation of panicles with fertile grains. The improvement in yield components due to increased nitrogen levels also have been reported by many workers Shukla et al. [12], Pandey et al. [13] and Singh et al. [14]. The productivity i.e. grain yield of aerobic direct seeded rice was found to be differed with different level of nitrogen during investigation. This might be due to better growth and appreciable improvement in yield attributing characters. This could be attributed to the fact that higher dose of nitrogen being constituent of enzymes and protein enhanced cell expansion and various metabolic processes. Grain yield production increased significantly with incremental levels of N up to 120kg ha-1. This could be attributed to the higher nitrogen application which might have increased the chlorophyll formation and improved photosynthesis and thereby increased the plant growth, number of panicles per unit area and panicle weight leading to the production of high grain yield. Similar results have also evinced by Liukhan et al. [15] and Sabir et al. [16].
Varieties
There were significant differences among the potential very early rice genotypes/varieties in plant growth, yield attributes and grain yield. All yield attributing characters (number of panicle/ m2 and panicle weight) were remained differed with different varieties. Among the seven genotypes/varieties, IET 22020 (very early rice genotype) recorded maximum number of panicles m-2 (367), panicle weight (1.83g) and finally recorded highest grain yield (3.51t ha-1). It was statistically at par with IET 22743 and IET 22744 (very early rice genotypes) with respect to grain yield (3.27 and 3.10t ha-1, respectively). IET 22743 recorded 344 numbers of panicles m-2 and panicle weight was 1.71g. IET 22744 recorded 333 numbers of panicles m-2 and panicle weight was 1.63g. While, IET 22020 was remained closed to IET 22743 and IET 22744 with respect in grain yield under aerobic direct seeded situation during investigation. Experimental results revealed that among the potential very early rice genotypes/varieties, IET 22020 recorded the highest grain yield (3.51t ha-1), which was significantly higher to that of Anjali (2.89t ha-1), Varalu (2.45t ha-1), Vandana (2.69t ha- 1) and Siddhanta (2.29t ha-1) (local check) (Table 1). However, IET 22743 exerted second promising yield attributing characters and grain yield during investigation (Figure 2).The climatic condition and genetic makeup of variety had better interaction under which could be enhanced growth and development of panicles. The photoperiodic responses and genetic potentiality on variation of yield attributes of improved varieties have also been reported by Lar et al. [17]. Productivity of crop is collectively determined by vegetative growth coupled with higher yield attributes resulting in higher grain yield. Increased in grain yield through greater partitioning of assimilates from shoot to grain. The increased in grain yield by the varieties due to overall respective performance in growth and appreciable improvement in the yield attributing characters. Significant variations in grain yield of rice varieties have also been reported by many workers [17-19].
The experimental results revealed that grain yield differences among the cultivars were significant. IET cultures recorded significantly higher grain yields over standard and local check (Siddhanta). IET 22020 recorded highest grain yield of 3.51t ha-1. Incremental doses of nitrogen influenced the grain yield significantly. Application of 150% of RDN recorded significantly higher grain yield of 3.6t ha-1. The N response was higher (34.36) at 100% RDN as compared to 150% RDN. Regarding interaction effect, combination of N3 X V1 i.e 150% recommended nitrogen (RN) i.e 120kg N ha-1 and IET 22020 (very early rice culture) recorded highest grain yield of 4.14t ha-1 [20] (Table 2) (Figure 3).
Conclusion
From the present study, it may be concluded that among the potential very early rice genotypes/varieties IET 22020 proved most impressive by recording the highest grain yield and IET 22743 exerted second promising very early rice genotype under aerobic direct seeded situation of red and laterite zone of West Bengal. IET 22020 has the potential to be an alternative/replacement as very early rice genotype for Siddhanta in upland areas under aerobic direct seeded condition with 150% recommended nitrogen (RN) i.e 120kg N ha-1.

William Winterbotham, View of the United Sates of America v3, 1796
Page 36: In the interior country, on the uplands, considerable quantities of hemp and flax are raised. As long ago as 1751, in the month of October, no less than sixty wagons loaded with flax seed came down to Baltimore from the back country.
Page 177: “These settlements might produce a considerable quantity of sugar, but hitherto what they have made has served for little more than home consumption, as every part of the back country, from latitude 42° to 36° and upon the Mississippi, as far north as latitude 45°, produces an abundance of the sugar maple tree as would be equal to furnish sugar for the inhabitants of the whole earth; and to send to any of the market towns on the Atlantic is too far to be profitable, until the canals of the Potomac shall have been finished.
Page 194: The Roanoke, a long rapid river, formed by Staunton river, which rises in Virginia, and Dan river, which rises in South Carolina. The low lands on this river, are subject to inundations. It is navigable only for shallops, nor for these; but about sixty or seventy miles, on account of falls, which in a great measure obstruct the water communication with the back country. It empties, by several mouths, into the South west end of Albemarle sound. The planters on the banks of this river are supposed to be the wealthiest in North Carolina. One of them, it is said, raises about three thousand barrels of corn, and four thousand bushels of peas, annually.
Page 199: No country produces finer white and bay trees. The latter is an evergreen, and is food for the cattle in the winter. The leaves are shaped like those of the peach tree, but larger. The most common kinds of timber in the back country are, oak, walnut, and pine. A species of oak grows in the moist, sandy soil, called black jack. It seldom grows larger than eight or nine inches diameter.
Page 200: The mistletoe is common in the back country. This is a shrub which differs in kind, perhaps, from all others. It never grows out of the earth, but on the tops of trees. The roots, if they may be so called, run under the bark of the tree, and incorporate with the wood. It is an evergreen, resembling the garden box wood.
Page 206: In North Carolina, neither the cold of winter, nor the heat of summer, are in the back country at all disagreeable; land continues to be plenty and cheap; grain is raised with so much ease, and the trouble of providing for cattle in winter so trifling, that a man supports his family with half the labour that is required in the cold climates. Under these advantages, we are not to wonder that people in all ranks of life should marry very young; we have heard of grandmothers in this State who were not more than twenty-seven years old.
Page 243: The high lands, commonly known by the name of oak and hickory lands, constitute the fourth kind of soil. The natural growth is oak, hickory, walnut, pine, and locust. On these lands, in the low country, Indian corn is principally cultivated; and in the back country, besides this, they raise tobacco in large quantities, wheat, rye, barley, oats, hemp, flax, cotton, and silk.
Page 272: Brunswick, in Glyn county, latitude 31° 10’, is situated at the mouth of Turtle river, at which place this river empties itself into St. Simon’s sound. Brunswick has a safe and capacious harbour; and the bar, at the entrance into it, has water deep enough for the largest vessels that swim. The town is regularly laid out, but not yet built. From its advantageous situation, and from the fertility of the back country, it promises to be hereafter one of the first trading towns in Georgia.
Page 320: The best way is to carry tea and coffee from the place they may set out at, if it is wished for; good green tea there will be from four shillings and six-pence to six shillings per pound; souchong from three shillings to five shillings; coffee will cost from one shilling and three-pence to one shilling and six-pence per lb. loaf sugar from seven-pence half-penny to ten-pence half-penny. But it is needless carrying much sugar, for as the back country is approached, the maple sugar is in abundance, and may be bought from three-pence to six-pence per pound. Such are the expenses to be incurred in traveling to this — by Redstone and Pittsburgh.
Page 330: Many divines of different denominations have, however, quitted Europe for America; and where character and ability have been blended, they have invariably succeed. Certain it is, that where a man is ambitious of becoming useful in spreading the gospel, no part of the world seems better adapted to gratify his wishes; an extensive back country, where there are few or no ministers, and an extensive Indian mission, present themselves to his view, independent of settled towns and cities, where a variety of sentiments and increasing population are certainly favorable to the settlement of a number of ministers. Those divines who emigrate from Europe, will probably succeed best who blend with the ministerial character that of a schoolmaster, a character much in request in every part of the American continent.
Page 333: The land thus purchased is a species of property that must of necessity receive an annual increase in value, from the natural population of the country, besides that which the industry of the proprietor may confer upon it; we think we speak within compass, when we say that an industrious cultivator, besides making a plentiful livelihood and good interest of his capital, will find his farm quadrupled in value at the end of ten years, if he bought it in any cheap part of the back country, which was at the time in the course of settling.
Page 339: Having endeavored to answer what we conceive will be the leading inquiries of an European, who has an intention of removing from his native country to America, we shall proceed to offer such information, as from the plain laid down we had not the opportunity of introducing, or at least but slightly, into the preceding part of the work, or which we judged would be best deferred to the present period of it: in doing this, we shall endeavor to introduce our information with a special reference to that class of emigrates, whose various callings may induce them to settle in towns or cities; and to those who, engaged in rural economy, will take up their residence in the back country, or the western territory: many parts, however, will be applicable to both, for the farmer will in various cases find himself connected with the cities and towns; it is there he must seek markets for his stock, and it is from his labors the towns and cities must receive supplies.
