meadow hsnd,, where ditches or ponds were filled up,
and that thin plants were the most affected, the flow of
men being greater in them. This year the wheats were
in general thin _in pleat, and of a very dark green
colour, and mote likely to have It; besides thin plants
have more room to extend their roots, and have • larger
supply of sap after sadden change*. As mildew la.
