the wheat crop for ever so long" cease 10 Z
croak about the failure this season, as the .
fact is established, beyond doubt, that in
central Ohio, and especially throughout the
Scioto Valley, the yield of wheat will be
greater in amount, and better in quality, than
that afforded by the crop of last year. The
reason is that much of the wheat as is
uniniured is of a superior quality, and rtheTe,9
number of acres in wheat, in the locaiities u
above mentioned, is much greater than in, ! >
any former year. The farmers in Pickaway 3 3
county have been harvesting, and say tlat =
the yield will be good one; and committee
of the Ross county Agricultural Society hav-
ing examined the wheat fields, all along the -,
river, report favorably for an abundance. eii vas

millers furnish us no reports, being unable to
do so from the small amount Of business done.
