CEKEALs-Tbe Turkish Flint Whea
from near Mount Olympus, IN Aasia, i
found to be we'll suited to the soil OF III
Middle States; to be heavier and TO pro
duce better -four than the ordinary whea,
and TO be pr tec,ei against the perfora
ton Of the weevil and other insects b
th, long beard with which it is furnish
ed. -Experiments made with this specie
OF wheat in Virginia, prove thai wit
good cultivation Il will yield thirt
bushels to the scrc, and it is calculate
that if this species alone were cultivated
the addition to the aggregate yield o tn
Middle and Southern States would be q
less than $4,000, GOO bushels, taking lot
600, 900 bushels q, The present yield.
