Planting wheat in Hills-Suo-
oessfUl Experiment.

ROCHESTER, Fulton Co., Ind July q
Iplanted last Fall five rows Of wheat
with spaces between different rows ofthree
feet two feet, aud eighteen inches; this
was kept clean with the hoe, and the pro-
duet is as follows: Average number Of
stalks from each seed, nearly 80; number
Of grains in the head, 72 to loo.
Thus if we count less than really grew
say thirty stalks from each grain of seed,
and 70 the lowest number CT grains found
in any one head, we get at the rate OF
over 1000 fold, and from that to 5000
counting the highest yield. From the
year 1845 to 1855 the average Of wheat
in this and parts Of the adjoining counties
according to my record, was less than
eight bushels to the acre, the very best be-
ing SO bushels. Ibdian corn sown broad
cast at the rate Of from one to two bush
ele will yield a larger average, bnt when
plantid in our usual way produces from 30
to 1OU bushels per acre.
My object in writeng this is TO bring
the facts 10 the notice Of agriculLurists,
and to induce as many os possible to try
the experiment on es much land as they
are wiling to experiment with. I hope
those wishing to test the matter will get
the wheat in before the last Of August
l lay off the ground two feet each way,
and put four graines to each bill, and
keep olean til! next harvest. 1t must be
put in early-no matter how soon after
harvest. This will wive thirty stalks to
the square foot, and 104.0S9,600 grains
per acre; which, allowing 808,56O grains
to the bushel, gives nearly li6s bushels
to the acre. This estimate is correct
one, based upon actual facts, and although
it looks like wild calculation, will, l
think, prove 50 nearly correct as to help
reform our present SloSenly aud extravi-
CANT mode Of wheat culture, The guam
tty Of seed required to plant an acre is
only trife over five pounds put in as
above described. Where my wheat stood
in rows, three feet apart, when ripe the
heads appeared nearly as thick together
as in field Of broadcast wheat, and instead
of being from two or three inches in
length, were from six to seven.

Honorable Conduct of the Summers.

1t will be remembered by our readers
that Mr.. Albert Sumner, Of Newport, r.
l., his wife and child, some time since,
were shipwrecked and all undoubtedly
perisbed. By the presumptiOns of law,
the wife and child died frst and the bus.
band became entitled to the property
Mrs. S. was the daughter of the late W alter
Claiming, of this city, and enjoyed the In
come of large estate. Under these cir
cumstances, pore than $4,000 became
legally vested in the late Mr.. Sumner, aud
through him came to his mother and sister
aud two brothets- s-Chas Sumner, our SEN
ator, and George Sumner, Esq. Ths es-
tate was administered upon by Mr.. Geo.
Sumner. and with the consent Of al! these
heirs, the whole of the property which the
deceased had derived from his wife, has
been surrendered to her relations. 1t
gives us great pleasure to record an act so
honorable to the parties, and prompted by
so nice a sence of justice and equality

The Ohio Statesman and Judge

Since the nomination of Judge Peck
the Statesman has had the bad taste as

there is nearly a coulmu of low flung

iured by the mean efforts of the Salesman.
He is above all attacks from such uncean
birds, and the StateSman's sslHes are just
about as deserving Of attention IS the
swoops of chicken-owl against Bunker
Hill Monument. Ii the Statesman had
half sense it would have tender care of
the Tenth Congressional District BY say
ing as lite about Judge Peck as pos
sible. We just drop this Liut by way
of friendly advice. Irthe Statesman how
ever, thinks j, a profitable investment to
open out its battery upon Judge Peck fire
away, we say. We shall pay no attention
to it, and trust our friends throughout the
State will do likewise. We are perfectly
willing to risk the damages. - Portsmouth

THIS REGION,

The state of affairs here is unprecedented
While nearly all the colieries are idle, other
Regions are increasing their production of
Coal, and putting that article into market at
from 25 to so cents cheaper than we can, at
even the low wages ruling here. The whole
loss Of the season SO far has been from the
Schuylkill Coal Region, and yet combinations
are still actiye,-urged on by men who have
their selfish schemes 30 compass and care not
for either the welfare of the workmeR or the
prosperity Of the Region,-to keep down our
product, when at this time especially, mutual
interest demands harmony of action between
workman and operator. Wages are low, we
know. But miners can make seven and eight
dollars per week, which under the circum.
stances, cannot be called bad wages. Even
if wages were advanced, as some Of the min
ers ask, it would not result in any advantage
to the workmen, for diminishing orders would
soon cut down the demand The fact is, af.
ter calmly reviewing the condition of affairs
here, we are forced to condemn the policy
adopted as most wretched, and the action Of
the instigators as exceedingly reprehensible
They are working irreparable injury TO the
! Codnty, and sending scores of workmen away
to other localities. Wages cannot be increa
sed, and benefit be derived therefrom.- Mn
