this year raised from four and quarter acres, 2l2
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 TO 100
grains TO the head. 1t is believed II will yield al
least 20 per cent more to the than the ordinary
wheat from the fact that it has from Is to 20 grains
more to the head. The history of the China wheat
is rather singular A few heads were found IN a
box of China-ware imported from the north OF Chi
ma; and the heads being SO very large and compact,
the discoverer was induced to plant them. MI o..
informs that last year he raised Az bushels per
acre with II, and this year Al bushels per acre. This

about as long the Oregon wheat, and about the
