Let me here reeapitulule. This early wheat

wheat II has more black OF bhIs ied heads thnn
any other sori have seen yet, under oil cir
cunstahces, IL ia subject TO fever disasters. and
produces generally better crop than any Other
wheat
IL is objected against this wheat, that IL will
not do la seed II Ia very poor land. WIN II do

ind finite, but any land that Dug HI, upon prin-
riplc of ihri iIuess To he seeded in wheat, will
produce mon bushels aud more pounds weight
per acre IN early wheat IN an average OF m,
number oil cars more than one. than ~ any 9th
er SORT
Another object ion made Is, thai the straw OF
tins whent is shorter, aud you do not GET 80
much rack food or long lite (Which ever YOU
apply the straw tu) ms from other wheat The
answer TO this is you grow wheat for the gram,
not for the ofsal.
Among the advantages attending this whes
II may BIZ stated, that VIM may han ve,t IT earlier
than other wheat, Judging from the appearances
they Pfesrnt--tpr. different from 9TH kinds of
wheat The head appears Ia IA ure ehlllei than
the straw, and no wheat falls more compact,
and neatly Ia the cradle than the early WHEAT
The loss IN h,rvesiing viii always be- less with

Il has been inquired whether the early whent
