WHEAT PRosPEcFs.--The Doiroi, Free Press
says: 1--WE fcar1 from every quarter of the
State that the wheat fields never appeared bet
ter in the spring than they now do. The win.
ter has net injured them more than common.
though 1t has been unusually open., The hea.
w rains that have fallen since the ffosi was
out Of the ground, have.sia the effect to settle
the earth closely around the rSo,s09 Inc whea,
SO as to protect them from cold winds CT spriur
irasts. The general opinion is that there Il aC
least one-third more acres Of wheat in The
ground this year than there was last"
