The JIHcuf CI'OD.

The wheat crop in Northern Vermont
is the best grown in many years. We
have examined Il large number Of fields
within the last ten days and with but
two or three exceptions they are all that
could be hoped for by the most sanguine
cultivator. In n very few cases the
drought has affected the crops unfavor-
ably and we have heard of two or three
where it is not worth harvesting but
these are on soils peculiarly subject to
injury from drought.
In many towns the production is full
ly equal to the demand for home con-
sumption and although one experiment
cannot well be considered as sufficient
tosettle mooted point yet the experience
OF this and past years taken together
ought to settle the question about the
capacity of Vermont for the production
of its own bread-stuffs. 1t may well
be questioned whether it is good policy
for Vermont farmers to undertake to
raise more wheat than they expect to con-
sumo, but that so much can and ought
to be raised is not an open question.
We always prefer for our own use the
home grown wheat and it is Il satisfac-
ton to know that what we pay for it
goes directly into the hauds of the pro-
ducer instead of into the hands of some
gambler in the necessaries of life for
Door as well rich.
