e Kent County Afaws,-We copy the fol
lowing items from the Smyrna Times q
as Wednesday last
81 Week before last we referred to the whea
V crop in rather tatterng terms. The farm
I'll ers have commenced threshing, and a cor
II rect estimate can be formed of the ye
Sc thereby. Our estimate was overdrawn; 8
u; was the farmers, The yield IS in straw or
~ w. The weather, up to the time OF the ripper
'e' ing of the wheat, was calculated to keep tn
81 grain in n growing condition. But sudden
NJ y the weather became excessively ho
VI which had the tendency to shrink the graf
in rpcning. The result is that the kerne
nd are shriveled, while the stalks and chat hay
lc- received all the benefits OF the favorable sci
o., son. 1t is estimated that there will be a ia
pe ling off of one-iourth (many make muc
ln higher estimQte) from the anticipated ylelt
M Although tins is a considerable discount, sti
10 the wheat crop is not bad one. When
C.. it that we have "lull crop" of my thing
ew Take it all in all we think our wheat Gro
Get will be equal to That of former years.
