Mr. J. B. Lawes, an eminent English authority on
the question Of the wheat crop In the United Kingdom
from bis experimental plots OF wheat under different

in 1872 ag1inst average acreage Of 38G5,035 for

and by far-yard manure this year compared with tile
average under the conditions Of the last q years.
we'll by other considerations he is disposed to
tate the deficiency a not less than II per cent. On
this assumption he thinks there will be required about

the home produce during the harvest year. from Sept
