We have distributed q large quantity
Of the Wild Rice during the past three
years, and have lately received several
communications regarding the success it
has met with in different parts Of the
Union. Want Of correct information on
our part regarding the plant may have
caused us to lead some OF the recipients
= of our packages into slight errors, We
will therefore answer the queries Of our
correspondents in full for the benefit Of
all. 5t9 s'f .4sa ssja d. e sa. II, ]

the Rice being cultivated in this section,
more than to sow it broad cast in low

is still. We have, quite patch Of it
growing finely in the Mississippi where
there ID an eddy, and the soil a
