IS We can learn, the wheat crop sowed last fail has

Tered nneh--the plants having been winter killed
bo Fhefe me seeding was done early end the psnis
became vel rooted before the ground froze hard
they are shooting forth rapidly and look green and
vigorous.
The Chester IN Herald Of the 18th says: IS The
present prospect for Wheat crop Is more than Or
dinariiy hattering. The extreme cold weather OF
winter seems 70 have preserved rather than injured
It, The growth upon the ground is very thick, and
the deep green color indicates healthy condition
Should no injury befall II before it rPens we shall
have an unusually large yield--We might say
raordnery quantity, the number Of acres sown is
almost double that Of any former season. During
recent visit to Perry County We we're told that 6eds
varying from thirty 70 eighty acres. had been soWn
By farmers who had before scarcely soEn any"
The Cass County Cnl) Tsmss Of the 18th says:
" The prospects hereabout are exceedingly gloomy
for the raising Of good Wheat crop, judging from
the opinions Of our country friends. Though 1t is
not improbable that the injury to the crop Is
tmated yet the chances against average yield are
apparently as nine to one for H. "
The Southeast (AIo.) Democrat Of the 18th says:
There are various opinions in regard TO the pros
pect Of an abundant crop Of Wheat. In this and
other sections Of the country the severe winter has
proved very destructive to the Wheat. We believe
thst the crops viii be very light perhaps lighter than
they have been for years before -
The Rusk (Texas) Inquirer of the 9th says: "Du-
ring the past month, the weather has been delight
fully warm without single frost. The fruit trees
have been long since in bloom and the forest trees
are now assuming their lesfy covering Farmers
have generally made preparations for planting and
while some have planted, others preferred waiting
until the season had further advanced. The wheat
generally is from six to twelve inches high and looks
remarkably well, and no untoward circumstances in
tervening, the crops win be very fine.
THE WHEAT CRoP.-Aecounts from different parts
Of the country continue to afford promise of good
wheat crops the coming season. The Michigan Far
msT says:-
From the accounts which reach US from the several
counties Of the State, judge that the wheat pass
ed through the winter with much less damage than
has been the case for three or four years past The
appearance is conceded to be healthy, and there
fewer reports Of its being winter killed
The wheat crop in Washington, and adjoining
counties in Virginia says the Abingdon Democrat,
ia doing we'll having suffered but little from the
verify Of the weather In East Tennessee it is look
ing remarkably wen, and double the usual quantity
was soWn there last fall.
