II method OF CULTIVATION 10 Lhe extent
{ that the lateness of the season would
permit. The result was most fortunate,
as the crop from the 700 acres yielded
fully 10000 bushels OF good GoFu.n
Wheat is scarce in Nebraska, most OF
the grain having been shipped last fall.
Tt commands 81 so per bUshel now in
Omaha Some contracts have already
been made there for the next crop at
s. h5.
There is a decrease of wheat in store in
! Minnesota, com pairing the present spring
with that a year ago, Of |, S84, ,3l5 bushels
But even these figures do not exhibit the
true relative decrease, for last year, at
the date gf opening of navigation, 3 very
| large quantity of wheat remained in the
hands of farmers, and was subsequently,
| forwarded to market for expectation.
| Now, on the contrary, there is not
enough, in first hands, to meet the de-
mand for home consumption, until next
harvest. We therefore estimate that the
! quantity of wheat now in Minnesota,
l held for export, is from 3, 3,5Q0,000 to
] 4,l0D, 0G0 bushels iess than it wgs at the
corresponding period Of last year.

I prove highly profitable. The EPaHGheEa
