CHANGED SEED WHEAT.

The Minnesota Agricultural Society has
asked the aid of the Agricultural Department
at Washington in procuring new varieties Of
spring wheat. It appears that the yield
rapidly diminishes under their system Of con-
tiuuous cropping from twenty-five to thirty
bushels on new land to twenty, fifteen, and
even ten bushels per are. The result is attri
buted to a ''degeneracy in the vitality of the
seed" rather than to an exhaustion Of fer
tiGty in the soil, and it is thought that if new,
good seed Of suitable varieties could be intro
duced, the State would be benefited to the
extent Of several millions of dollars yearly.
The variety now relied upon for the main
crop is the Fife and has been used for num-
ber of years. The Canada Club was formerly
cultivated, but has now entirely disappeared.
The Commissioner, in his reply, recognizes
the Importance of the subject, and promises
to make special efforts to procure new varie-
ii es of spring and winter wheat.

LAEGE farms seem to DO attracting the OF
tention of agriculturists. Two wealthy,
enterpriseing gentlemen of Harrison county,
Ohio, have purchased township six miles
square in Nebraska Of Government land, and
purpose to convert the whole into the one
grand fam Of %, ,olO acres. They intend to
enclose it with hedge Of the Usage orange,
twenty four miles in extent, and viii put up
cross hedges twelve miles in length. They
will hire all their labor and the most improy.
ed agricultural machinery, intending to put
the whole farm into wheat as fastas possible
Il will require about 10000 bushels for the
seeding Of such farm. Acolony is also being
formed in Chicago under Mr.. Amos Dufield,
for the purchase Of another township in Ne
braska, for the same purposes. Eastern
Florida is also being laid ont in large farms,
for the purpose Of cultivating fruits and early
vegetables for the Northern markets. Jack
sonyille, the chief shipping port of the State,
is but four days from New York by steamer,
and still less by railroad. 1t is estimated that
fifty thousand young orange and lemon trees
have been set out since the war, and that ten
thousand are now in bearing in the northern
part Of the State, the fruit selling at S15 to
$50 per thousand, as it hangs on the tree.
The settlers at the extreme southern part OF
the State are chiefly engaged in the manu-
facture Of tapioca, which roots, as well as all
other tropical plants, groWthere freely.
