Some SAY THAT WHEAT TURNS re
CHEAT

CHEAT
A sense of the disadvantage that
many farmers labour under thruegh
Is The mistaken notion that wheat turns
to cheat, | was induced to make few
remarks on that subject, as I have
myself been for some years back of
the same opinion, till, upon sofficient
triai and proof, am confident it will
not, no more than barley will turn in
to oats, or black oak acorn produce a
white oak tree I have taken the pains
TO pick the heads Of wheat and rub the
grain out with r,y hands, in order to
have it perfectly clean, and silt it on
clean ground, and the produce of that,
year aficr year, for number of years,
without ever finding spear of cheat
amongst it, though the wheat has at
times been mnch injured by the ay or
winter; but while the farmer is OF the
.nind that wheat really turns to cheat,
he will not take much pains to have his
seed entirely clear of it, So has much
trouble to winnow cut the cheat before
his wheat is fit for market. Cheat is
of such wonderful productive nature,
that If there is but small portion of
it sown with the wheat and the wheat
happens to be winter killed, it shoots
out from ten to fifty stalks from one
root, which affords a large crop, when
at the same time if the wheat is very
good, we often find but one single head
to root, which is scarcely noticed in
the wheat. l believe, were we rightly
to consider the words and works of the
great Creator, when he created all
things, and said "Let earth bring forth
grass, the herb yielding seed, and the
fruit tree yielding frnit after his kind,
whose seed is in itself, upon the earth:
and it was so. and the earth brought
forth grass, and herb yielding seed af
ter bis kind, and the tree yielding fruit,
whose seed was in itself, after his kind,
and God saw that it was good"-I say
if we would rightly consider those
things, | believe we should not be of
the mind that one kind OF grain would
turn into any other kind Whatever.
