Committee of Arrangement. 

 July 14, 1841. 



Daniel Zollickoffer, of Carroll County, Maryland, 

 and Joseiih Sharp, Merchant, of Pliiladelphia, have just 

 received a small invoice of the true Turgid Wheat, 

 (Cone species,) by the ship Thomas P. Cope, which they 

 had specially ordered two or three months since, in- 

 tended only as an experiment. 



In the event of its fully sustaining in this country 

 the high reputation it bears in England, with reference 

 to its adaptation to clay soils, the farming community 

 will be notified in due time of the fact, and can then 

 supply themselves accordingly. 



The month of August being the best in which to sow 

 the Enslish broad Turnip for cattle, every rod of unoc- 

 cupied land should be ploughed up and seeded with this 

 crop, to form a supply for winter use. There will still 

 be sufficient time to bring them to maturity ; and every 

 one knows from the experience of last winter, what 

 will be the value of two or three hundred bushels extra 

 of turnips, if such another trying season awaits us; the 

 land upon which they are grown deriving a benefit from 

 extra tillage quite equal to the expense of the labour. 

 Let no one forget that " Winter follows on the heelB 

 of harvest,"
