 i o'DerlecUv saiisfied, from the impartial trials he has made, 

 1 lurm" six years on " poor soils," of ils growing more Straw 

 han any other kinds, " of ils superiority in standing the

 ihat he intends for the future, to sow no other sort. 



Twelve bushels sown on ordinary wet land in common 

 ! cultivation, last year produced 300 laishels and a sinular 

 ' sowino- on light land, gave an equally favorable result. The 

 Dres.-in prospecis despite the season, are equally flattering. 

 Two bushels per acre have been found an abundant heeding, 

 on account of its great disposition to Tiller, several single 

 prams haviii^ produced each from 30 lo 40 ears, the length ol 

 many being from 5 to 7 inches and very few under 4 inches. 

 It has this year been satisfactorily proved by three disinter- 

 ested Farmers to he a most " rapid growing " and superior 

 sorin- wheat, sown so late as the middle of March, it is now 

 the 10th of July in full ear, and calculated to produce at

 now be seen in every respect equal lo the latter, and tar sur- 

 oassin'' several other kinds growing alongside. The various
