Mr.. MILLIKAN:
According to the statement of NJ. Jas.
Lowry. who Has taken considerable pains
to ascertain the facts in the case, Bourbon,
Tippecanoe. Walnut, Green and Union
townships, last year, produced an average
of 1917 bushels of wheat per acre.
The question of successive crops of the
same kind of grain, is being discussed in
agricultural papers generally, and the de
auctions are unfavorablc to such method.
Deeming the matter might be of interest
to some of your readers, we will give the
result of one instance of this kind in this
neighborhood. Mr. Chas. Huff has sowp
and harvested three successive crops of
wheat from the same ground. The first
year it produced "a bushels per acre; the
second year % bushels; and the third
year 30 bushels. The same ground was
sown again last fall and is now looking
finely.
Although the season has been some
what backward, vegetation of all kinds
(including potato bugs), is coming out
finely.
The cool weather which prevailed up
to She 10th inst, did not seem to check
the growth of wheat in the least. and
present prospects bid fair for an early and
abundant harvest

temperance meetings here, are said to
fortify themselves for the occasion with
something "leetle" stronger than aqua. "
