Wheat.

From 5. II. Eggcrs, one Of the proprictors
OF the steam mill at Round Rock, the following
particulars have been gathered in relation Ia
the wheat crop Of Travis and Williamson
counties. There have been twenty five hun
drcd bushels of wheat ground at their mill,
and they arc grinding from 100 to 200 bushels
per day.
The following is a list of The products of
the different farms so far ms he knows: Mcssrs.
Talbots, 1900; Williams, 500; Anderson,
100; Richard SAMSON, 900; Capt. Merrill,
1900; Mr.. Cook, 400; Mr.. Sandwich, 300;
i. Allen, l,O00-in the aggregate 8, 100 hush.
els grown on Brushy and the San Gabriel.
In addition to this there are numerous smaller
crops of from 30 to 900 bushels. Nearly
every farmer in Williamson county has raised
enough TO make his bread for the year.
The mills of Mr.. Glasscock have ground o.
600 bushels and n large quantity is vet ON
hand. II is thought cne-fourth Of the crop is
not ground,
The present crop has averaged from 10 to
20 bushels per acre. Mr.. Eggers is of opinion
that the crop has been shortened by late SOW
ing. Ii was shown in February. lie thinks
December q better time for that purpose and
that crops planted in that month, would aver
age from % to 80 bushels. The average price
of wheat is one dollar per bushel, and will
continue firm for some years. as the demand
will increase with migration, and by the more
extended use of our domestic flour. which
makes a better article Of bread than the i'm.
ported,
Those same lands will produce 40 and 80
bushels of corn per acre, and more than a bale
Of cotton.
The amount Of corn ground at the above
mills is grcat.--S ". 4mericna.
