quent!y heard during the day at The
absence Of the senior OF the Dis
patch. The question for discussion
was the proper quantity OF wheat
to be sown per acre" The subject
was fully and ably discussed by Dr.. Pollard,
Commissioner of Agriculture, who stated
that he had received large number Of let
tiers from leading wheaLgrowers OF every
section Of the State, and that they had almost
unanimously recommended four to five
pecks when seeded broadcast and three to
four pccks when drilled. These amounts,
OF course. must be varied as to the filth OF
the SOIL time OF seeding. and the size OF the
grain, &c. After a free and rather eX-
cited discussion Of the subject by Colonel
Ebastain White, Messrs. Canning Robin-
son, Jacob Deitrick, j. A. Lynham, Add
son HolIaday, Drs. Michaels, Deitrick, and

views OF DR.. Pollard, as stated above, were

TENDER returns to the Department OF Agri-
culture show that the condition OF the cot
ton crop averages so against 95 in August,
1878, and Sc IN Scptember, 1877. The de-
cline in the condition is not greater than
usual, and still leaves high average "itulity
to meet the yicissituGcS Of autumn. It's pro-
mise is better than that Of its predecessors,
and its average has been considerably in
creased. Ii the remaining part OF the
season Of growth and the picking
season should be rs favorable as
last year there will be Il considerable in
crease in the yield, which will equal, il not
exceed, that OF the great ante-bellum crops.
The conditions OF the growth differ very
greatly in the different zones OF The cotton
field. In some counties the extreme heat OF
July lasted until late in August, causing
great loss of bolls. In others excessive
rains produced rust and rot. The insect
rayagcs were formidable only in few local
tiles, notably in the cane-brake region oil
Alabama. Some correspondents consider 4
moderate visitation OF worms as benefit
in stripping the plant of It's excessive TO-
iage. The State averages were as follows :
North Carolina, SG-a gain Of over August
figures; South Carolina, S0-a loss OF II;
Georgia. STA loss OF IL; Florida, 81
