At harvest time it was estimated that the crop of
wheat IN this neighborhood, and M ESSEX, Kent,
Suffolk, Norfolk, Lincolnshire, aud some other carly
districts, fall average quantity aud quality

reported to be very great; the quantities per acre
are found, however, TO vary much even IN the same
immediate neighborhood OF late there have been
many complaints Of the yield in these parts, aud
putting all our information together, We feel per
suaded, that even IN these favored districts, the crop
Is considerably short of the average produce of the
last SIX or seven years, and it is probable will show
Ike deficient crop, on account OF the absence OF
the usual stock OF old wheat: the quality gene
