Included in the Exports from New-Orleans 



Stooi.ing of Wheat. — Colonel North hav- 

 ing had piven him, two years since, some fe-w 

 grains of wlieat, taken from an Egyptian Mum- 

 my, and .'^uppo.'-ed to be two thousand years old, 

 placed it in the hands of Mr. Innes, his steward 

 and head pardenerat Roxton. Mr. Innesraised 

 a small (piantity, and this season planted the pro- 

 duce on about a third of a chain of ground, \vithin 

 the enclosure of the gardens, in rows at 18 inches 

 apart, every grain being deposited sinsly at the 

 distance of 9 inches from each other. On exam- 

 ination of the crop, it is found that from every 

 (599) 



grain has sprung upwards of 40 stems, every 

 stem bearing an ear ; on two stools taken at 

 random, the number of stalks were 43 and 46. 

 This great .stooling of wheat is not a pecnliarity 

 of this Mumrey wheat; it is known that the 

 common English wheats, if cultivated with care 

 on rich soils, and Rown thin, will do the same : 

 at King Sutton, this season, on land in the occu- 

 pation of Mr. Colosrove, a small quantity of 

 wheat beiii^ sown with tares, and the crop al- 

 lowed to ripen, as many as fifty stems have been 

 counted. [Banbury Guardian.
