months. That from the PENNSYLVANIA

other wheat growing districts in the vicin

never looked better or promised more than
that which is now in the ground. The
weather during the fall has been remark
ably favorable to It's growth, and it has
apparently taken u deep and firm root,
thus rendering it little Iiable to injury by
the frosts Of winter. On many of the
