WHEAT.

Mr.. R. NJ. Morris acre is poor ridge
land, and had been in cultivation twenty
one years, and was in cotton last year.
The cotton stalks were ploughed up and
a heavy brush passed over the land to
make it smooth. Seventy bushels of raw
cotton seed, thirty one-horsc loads of lot
manure and 200 pounds of Atlantic
Phosphate were scattered broadcast over
the land. These fertilizers were turned
under with a steel turning plow, followed
in each furrow with long subsoil plow
the two plows making depth of about
ten inches. One bushel was sown on the
land and brush passed over it to cover
the grain. There was nothing else done
to the land until the wheat was ready to
be harvested. The estimated cost of
manurcs, putting them on the land, seed
wheat, sowing, plowing, brushing, &C.,
was s33; and the yield of wheat was 342
bushels.

The executive committee of this Association
and number of the prominent citizens met at
Rossini Hall, City Building, on Saturday even
ing, to hear the plan proposed by Gen. Geo. f.
Shepley, President of the Association, of erect
ing a Monumental Hall instead of single
statue or monument in memory of those brave
men of Portland who gave their lives in de-
fence of their country in the late war The
plan proposed is that suitable building shall
be erected that will contain hall, on the walls
of which shall be tablets on which the names
of all who were killed or have died from the
effects of the war shall be inscribed.
This hall shall also contain portraits, busts,
and the commissions of prominent officers OF
the army and navy who went from this city. A
museum of mementos, such as battle flags,
swords, &C., is to be collected and deposited
here.
1t is hoped that the Public Library, the
M. L. A aud Army & Navy libraries may be
brought here in different rooms, also that the
Natural History Society will find rooms here,
where they will not be in danger of losing their
valuable collection from fire.
It is the intention to make this building fire
proof, and to be of such style of architecture
as to be an ornament to our city, and one that
every citizen will be proud Of The plan met
the hearty approval of all present, and the
Committee on Design were instructed to have
plan drawn and presented at the next meet
ing of the Executive Committee, at which
meeting the committees of ladies that have
been appointed from the different churches are
to be present.

ING into the window of Mr.. Gilbert L. Bailey
on Exchange street, at a silver brick, with
button of gold on its top, all of which with
5000 lbs of lead. was obtained from four tons
of Nawburyport ore. The silver brick is about
the size of an ordinary brick, and weighs
21099 ounces, and is valued at $272.41, while
the gold is worth 1928. This thirteen pound
specimen is proof posi- tive that there is silver
in Newburyport and doubtless other mines
will be found in New England. We forgot to
mention to sportsmen that this is about the
time for them to be looking after the appro-
pirate apparatus, and that Mr.. Bailey keeps a
very choice stock of everything in that line.
