ECONOMY OF SEED-VVFIEATI

TO THE FDITOB, OF THE SUN.

have observed the sog'gestion of your
patriotic Correspondent, Mr. Win. Founas, of a
plan on the method anti economy of Chinese prai..
rice, to make a compost of manure on the land,
and to sow it with wheat, at 15s. an acre ti tr,
year , Our farmers, in the broad-cast plan, ex-
pend about 3 bushels of the middling wheat they
,'use for seed an an acre ; but when set!d is 'lleac
and scarce, end labour plenty end low, they sow
their jaro in the .diiibling plot, with 2 h.tsliels
per acre or less. List sowing season they could
purchase their seed corn at ss. to 6s. (sd. per
t.tintltid; this year it is thought they most pay
to IBa., and look about them for proper grain in
many ,places : it seems to he near, at once, that
Foher.s. plan of sowing, if it can he prAc-
tised this season, is desirable, nod I may say in-
valuable, if from ouc hilf to a s! ogle bushel is,
or his Chinese plat), safely sufficient per acre to
secure the growth and•return of a full crop. With
many more of yam-, readers, 1 n anxious to learn
more on this iniPP'tant matter"l"ll the "a of
Cline, now so short and precious. The matter of
the manure can stand over a little ; but the p-iot
of the economy of the quantity of keed-Whvat is
at this born- of great importance.
I have read with much interest and expectation
the Esstiv of. the 19:11
,August on this topic, io
your coltiMni, and I hop:. we shall soon hear wort.,
in lunar. proper mariner, from your Correspondent,
and in piisses last,
!lope you can give hilt) ofo4,rvation of this
notice of his plan, for which ninny w4it, to juili;e
arid put in the. course of experiment and trial.
