Grafs on (heltered and dry lands proraifes well. On low or flat 

 lands, where the water covered it in Winter, very IndifFerent, If 

 warm weather commences foon, and moderate rains follow, there 

 is no fear of a full bite. 



Wheat has the worft appearance of the feveral grains. In low 

 lands it is (larving ; but fome of the dry foils have a promifing ap- 

 pearance. Upon others it is indifferent, and much injury has been 

 fuftained by the Aug. This as well as other grains, ftands much in 

 need of warm weather. A deal of bad feed was fjwn, which did 

 not vegetate ; and moft of farmers think, that from orc half to 

 three fourths of a good crop is all that can be expeded.
