In Senate, March 20, 1839. 



Ordered, That the Governor be requested to obtain from the Ag- 

 ricultural Commissioner, a full report of the cultivation of Wheat, in 

 this Commonwealth, the last year ; in reference to all those particulars 

 specified in the act of 1838, offering a bounty upon the product of 

 Wheat ; which have a practical bearing on its culture ; collating such 

 facts from the returns, as will secure, as far as practicable, the great 

 object of granting the bounty, by gathering the experience of the past 

 year, as far as may be, to aid the future culture of Wheat in this Com- 

 monwealth ; with such other information respecting the cultivation of 

 Wheat, as may be deemed important ; and lay the same before the 

 Senate, when obtained ; and that for this purpose, the Agricultural 

 Commissioner be allowed the use of the Wheat Returns, in the office 

 of the Secretary of State, as far as they may be needed by him. 



Sent down for concurrence.
