Farmers hereabouts have sown more largely than
usual with wheat, and the crop has a promising ap
p~.arance. Within the last week or TWO, we nave
passed through portions Of the county. and we must
say that We have never seen fa'rer prospectus lot on

Than they do now, and there are many and broad ones

to this, that nearly all the early wheat bad the rust,
more or less and the conclusion may readily be
drawn, that the crop will be a very short one-at
