OREGON AND CHINA WHEAT.

There have been left at our Office two
new species of wheat, one called "Orcgon,"
the other China" 1t was taken from the
Bloomfield estate belonging to Henry r.
Sme!lzer, near Middelown, Frederick CO.,
Md. The Oregon wheat was found or dis
covered by a missionary travelling through
that territory, who brought it TO this coun-
try in 1889. Mr.. Smellzer this year raised
from four and quarter acres 212 bushels
and 43 lbs., which is fraction over so
bushels to The acre. This wheat is very
hardy, of beautiful red color, with smooth
chat, heads from 5 to 6 inches long, and
average from 80 10 100 grains TO the head.
1t is believed that it will yield at least 20
per cent. more to the acre than the ordinary
wheat, from the tact that il has from Is to
20 grains more 10 the head. The history Of
the China wheat is rather singular. A few
heads were found in box Of China ware
imported from the north of China, and the
head being so very large and compact the
was ,maucGs to plant them. Mr..
S. informs us tina, last year he raised AZ l.2
bushels per acre with il, and this year AZ
bushels per acre. This is a beautiful whine
wheat and has heads or ears about as long
as the Oregon wheat and about the same
number Of grains to the head. The China
wheat is Of the early kind, and so far has
not been injured by smut mildew or Ay.--

THE FAIR,

We hope every man, and his wife, will
attend the Fair next week. We are led to
expect a larger and better collection Of an
imals than we had last year, and we hear
from various sources that there is to be a
brisk competition in the limo of domestic
manufactures. The season has been rather
unfavorable for horticulture, but we imagine
the exhibition of fruits & vegetables will indi-
cate pretty clearly that there is no danger Of
a famine in the land. The ploughing match
will afford good opportunity to show of
some of those fine red oxen, and at the
same time demonstrate what il is to hold and
drive. Five dollars " i'll pay well for plough
ing an eighth of an acre. Two days will
afford ample time to 60 through with the
whole, without crowdng; and the proposed
sale on the last day, will, we are led to hope,
add an important feature 10 these occasions.
Rev. Mr. BRIGHAM. will address the public /;
and he is too much Of practical man not
to instruct, as well as entertain US. Slack
up all business then, and duly honor the Far
mer's holiday.
