THE ARABIAN MILLET.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Be good enough to give us space to answer Mr. C. T. Wrcn'sletter, which appeared in your issue of the 29th November last. He (Mr. Wren) is always bitter in his letters, and says that your agricultural contributor had some premonition that he was assisting to perpetrate a. sell. No wonder, if Mr. Wren means a sell similar to the Prickly Comfrev, which was far worse than Mr. Steadman's Beauty, for that v/a.s, if anything, simply a mistake. For ourselves, we may say that we simply handed to your reporter a pamphlet that we received from America, and asked him to publish whatever portion he pleased in the interest of our farmer friends, and the best proof of our bona is that -we had only some 201bs. for sale, which we were anxious should be trfed this season, to prove whether it was a sell or not. Mr. Wren, by an easy transition, has a slap at his old grievance, the Acclimatisation Society, but that is their business not ours.—X am, &c., Hesketh as a Aitken - . ■Auckland, December 1, }.SB2.
