Sowing Wheat.

We have been making some inquiry from
the farmers of this and Madison counties in
regard to the proper time for sowing fall
wheat in this climate. The testimony OF
those who were the most successful this sea
son is that the proper me is about the If
teenth of Seplember-not later than the
twentieth. Mr. T. P Hall. who lives on
the Cottonwood, raised fine field of fall
wheat this season which was not damaged
BY the rust or frost, and which he sowed in
the middle of September. He also had
another field which he sowed about Ten days
later, which gave much poorer yield than
the hrst, did not mature so well, and was
more affected by the frost and rust. Mr..
Gnmsley, living on Allen creek. raised about
iorty acres of excellent fall wheat this season
which was sown the middle of September
Both these gentlemen viii SOW largely this
iaii' and not later than the fifteenth of next
month. From indications we should Judge
'has there would be much larger number
Of acres of wheat sown this fall than last.
