On account of the weevil, it is desirable that more experiments 

 should be made with winter wheat. 



Mr. Joseph Heald of Patten, has had some experience in raising 

 winter wheat. He thinks it should be sown in August, as it gets 

 more deeply rooted, and is not so likely to winter kill. 



Rev. Mr. Fobes of Crystal plantation, to avoid the weevil, sowed 

 one bushel of wheat on the last day of April. He raised a good 

 crop. It was not injured by the weevil. Mr. F. thinks the wheat 

 matured before it was time for the weevil to work. More experi- 

 ments of this kind are desirable. 



Mr. Craig says, in his township the potato crop was a great 

 yield, and of excellent quality. 



Daniel Sleeper of Golden Ridge, raised 26 bushels of good wheat 

 on one acre of burnt land — worth ,^39. 



Charles Jackman of Golden Ridge, raised 70 bushels of oats on 

 one acre of burnt land — worth $35.
