Tha Wheafcron

We are reluctantly compelled to materially
reduce our estimate of this years wheat crop
The cold, wet weather in June, followed by
the hot, dry weather in July, has effected an
ansuspected damage to the staple, which the
threshing machine is just beginning to devel.
ope. So far from realizing the promise of an
abundant yield, our farmers are discovering
that their prolific growths of straw turn out
but shrunken berry, that has little the app
pearance, weight or quality of the grain hith.
erto known as Minnesota wheat. Compera-
lively but small amount Of No. wheat will
be sent from this State this year; and the
average yield. instead Of beipg up 10 the
usual figure of twenty FIVE bushels 70 the acre,
viii. we fear, fall below fifteen. If the total
product, allowing for largely additional
breadth sown, equals three-fonrths Of the
crop Of last year, farmers may congratulate
