CONDITION OF WINTER WHEAT. 
Rarely are our winters so favorable to fall-sown wheat as that of i1867-’8. 
Seldom has the temperature been so uniform and the ground so constantly cov- 
ered with snow; conditions favorable to the vitality and healthfulness of the 
wheat plant. Almost the only complaint of winter freezing and thawing, and 
consequent winter-killing, comes from the latitude of Tennessee and southern 
Kentucky, where comparatively small breadths of wheat are sown. 
The New England States, now scarcely considered wheat-growing, are awaken-
