WHEAT CROP oF TENNESSEE.

AL accounts, from all sections Of the S ate. con-
cur in representing the wheat crop of Tennessee
for this year by far the largest ever harvested
There was probably an increase of fifty per cent.
II the quantity Of land placed in wheat and the
average yield per acre, partly from q good season
and partly because the land was better prepared IS
increased in nearly the same proportion. The crop
IS now mainly harvested, and beyond danger. We
snail have several million bushels 70 ssll
We have heard, in one instance, of d small field
Of i've acres in this county yielding as much as
thirty five bushels per acre. and nany farmers have
told us of large fields estimated at from twenty-fi
to thirty bushels per acre. We suppose the new
islds of Michigan and Wisconsin may exceed this
weld, yet It is good crop, and will pay well 4
first class -four mill in Nashville is much needed
i. would be a good business to the manufacturer,
and would enable our farmers to pocket double
i.eights, in addition to their present profits.
We believe our State Agricultural Society, brief
SIS has been its existence has done much to arouse
che farmers OF the State to the importance of i'm
proved modes OF cultivation. 1t has already paid
tie State many thousand times what it has cost in
time and money. And we are glad to be able to
say that new societies are being formed in many
counties. The agricultural resources OF our State
are boundless, and their development, through the
