the lookout fof intelglience Of the new wheat
crop. For this purpose, besides personal
enGnirv, We have addressed letters 70 re-
liable men Throughout the wheat region
The substance OF tie INTEL gsnce gained we
give below:
N. Lee. living between Stark and Column
bianA. counties, says he links the usual
qnsnsiiy is in crop. and that his looks unu-
sually well, as the snow is going Oh.
II. J.. Cox. (Member o. s. B. A. Of
Muskingum Co, says:
al have made inquiry Of several Of our
farmers who have been attending the court
now in session, and from them and my w
observation have come to the conclusion,
LIST. That there IS ret probably by one
eighth as mcuh ground in wheat as there il
in general. This is owing TO the fact that
t &c droulh of the past autumn made il az
most impossible 10 break MP sod ground,
and as q consequence most Of The ground
new in wheat was either stubble or corn
ground. which will probably not yield with
a>ususl season, more than three-fourtha that
sod ground would.
Cd incline to think the appearance Of
the wheat crop is as good as en- average, at
this season Of the year. The winter has
been much ssmore eqckl in the tempera-
tdre Of the cir than usual,-lhe ground ha-
wing remained frozen far several weeks in
succession, embracing time before and since
February. A considerable portion 81 that
time ibe snow slso protected the growing
crop!
Another circumstance greatly in favor of
the crop, in the fact thattheJ frost has almost
entirely got oct Of the cultivated fields with
out rains, which usually cause the sarfaceto
slip of when the frost is but partially out
Of the ground. This state Of things not
only preserves the plants in their places,
but saves the rich surface sell in its place.
81. ! presume that there is no spring
wheat sown or likely to 0e this season."
Hon. J S. Kelly, of Massillon, says:
"Abeut three. fourths Of the usual amour
of wheat is in the GROUND in our country,
and looks mnsh bet er than at this time last
year. But little spring wheat will be SOW
ed for want Of seed. | have had much in
curry for seed, and could have sold many
hundred Bushels"
j.. x. Forbes, OF Wayne Co, says:
"AEer a long and unusual severe winter
the snow, which has lain more than six
weeks, is now gradually disappearing and
the grain which has been so long protected
by It's covering, now looks forth as fresh
and green as if nothing had checked its
verdure."
DR.. B. B. Clark, of Ashland. SAYS:
"In answer to your enquiries, | would
say:
LIST. There is estimated to be sown one
third less wheat in this county than usualf
owing to the bad condition OF the ground at
the time Of seeding, last fab, and also to
the difficulty Of procuring seed wheat.
Cd. The appearance at The present time o
the wheat crop, IS unusually good.
81. Bat little spring wheat will be sown
in this county the coming spring"
a. i. Grimes, of Eichland %. SAYS:
Il ain not in the way to become aqquain-
ted Win the farmers and their interests as
much as formerly; but | have called upon
onr produce dealers, and learn from them
the following
lst. There is FROM one third to oue-half
as much wheat sown as usual.
ID Il looks very well.
81. There will be considerable spring
wheat sown. Our produce men are bling
ing in seed from Illinois and Michigan to
supply the farmers. We are and have
been dependent on Michigan, Indiana, IL
lii dis and Iowa, and Southern Ohio for
our four the past winter, and will have to
import until after another harvest at least
Mintarn, Allen u 90, Of Champaign Co,
say:
There was about one-fourth less grain
sown lest fall than usual, in this country,
The present appearance Of the crop is
unusually good. There will BE- a small
amount Of spring wheat sowed.
The above Information has been careful.
y collected and May be relied on
S. C~risNcll, Of Greene Co. says:
'OuF wheat, so far as looks are concern
ed; is verg badly winter killed, bat upon
closer examination the roots are found
cliuging for dear life. Excepting the low
grounds, ths prospects, with a favorable
spring are fair. The quantity sown is ra-
ther below the average amount, owing ID
the long continuance Of the dranght last
fall, Tlc kind sown was universally the
MediteTg mean.
Tn conversation with gentleman from
| Western Virginia, we learn that tile wi,ea
appears very well in that region. Ia the
short excursions v hich we have made
through the ~neighboring counties since the
snoY left us, we have noticed that in most
cases the young wheat looks green and
nomishing,-O Cult.
