An effort Is being made TO have a com

be done by all means. There ought also

The Crops.

Our farmers are now in the midst of
wheat harvest. The yield varies great
" in different fields; but the average
per acre, we believe, exceeds that Of any
previous year since this Territory was
settled. Some of our farmers inform US
that Of Fall Wheat they will receive as
high as forty bushels per-acre. Spring
Wheat viii not yield as many bush
els per acre. The spell of wet weather
10 the 6rst'part of May, produced a tre-
mendous growth IN the wheat-causing
il 10 stool out extensively. The hot, dry
weather in June suddenly checked this
ex,ravagant growth, and some of the
the branches of the large stools did not
head up. If there had been a good rain
about the 10Th or 10Th Of June, the crop
Of wheat in this Territory would have
been enormous. Asiti is, there is as much,
perhaps more, than can be conveniently
harvested. If cur information is cor
rect, from the various parts Of this Ter
ritory, Fall Wheat has produced much
better than Spring, not only this season,
but for the past three years. We can
not understand the cause of the prejudice
existing in the minds of many farmers
against raising Fall Wheat.
Rye-This cereal, owing TO its ripen-
ing earlier 10 the season than wheat, did
not suffer, ike the latter from the dry
weather in June. There has, as yet,
been but little raised in this Territory.
One Of u friends in this oOunty--a
model farmer-had an acre Of Rye which
he has not yet thrashed; but he is salts
fed that j, viii yield orer fifty bushels. Z.
Corn is as large FOR the season, and is

A New Silk WORCESTERSHIRE for
Cotton.

The following is condensee for the
american .AgriculturiSt, from our foreign
files. The information appears TO be re-
liable, and is given without comment by
DR.. Lindley in the Gardeners Chronicle.
Here is, perhaps, a new field of enter
prise opened-though we are not ready to
endorse all the new discoveries of our
French c~o-laborers. The account runs as
follows:
In March, 1859, a request was made
of the French Emperor to provide the
means of making an experiment on a
large scale for the rearing of a new kind
of Silkworm, which lives In the open air
on a very hardy plant, the aiIaate, and
produces two crops a year of a strong
silky fiber which has been used for ages
past in China, to make clothes for the
great mass of the people. The authority
was Immediately granted, and the result,
as now published, surpasses all expecta-

of promoting the production and manu-
facIure of the new silk, which he thinks

worm feeds, is the Ailantus glahdulOsa'
one of the hardest of trees, and very
