1859 with that Of previous years. II will b seen
that the whole number of acres under wheat ii 1855,
was 695 4l2, producing 1866 4a3 bushels, o. IN
average of 10 rs bushels to the acre. The general
impression is that oBethrd more land WIS planted

we think to estimate the number Of acres at 2,000,

for the frosted district may be stated at fifteen bush
els The yield is admitted to be better than in 1857
when it was within q fraction Of fourteen buahals.
The crop, this year. is also very superior in quality.
We may. therefore, set the crop OF 1859 down at
80, 0,O0O, 600 bushels Of wheat Of excellent quatys
against IL 100000 bushels Of ordinary quality last
year. and rs 900 900 in 1857
Corn was also very light last year, the total yield

Of planted is fully up to that Of 1857 and y
