Nicholas B. Leonard, Of Talbot county.
realized "A bushels Of wheat per are on one
farm, and nearly - on another.
The wheat crop Of Levi 4. Mearns, ESD,
Of Cecil county, has yielded tweuty.six bush
els per acre, while that of his son, Dr. James
A. Mearns turned cut twenty seven bushels
About seven years ago y. 4. Pascanit
bought a farm en- the Choptauk river, near
Dover Bridge. The hrst year after he bought
il his crop Of wheat vas 50 bushels on So
acre field. This year be made $50 bushels on
the same field.
The wheat has yielded very uneqaally IN
different parts OF the coHaty this year In
some neighborhOods she yield comes up 10 The
hopes Of the farmers; IN Others there Is DIS
appointment, and IA q few places almost a
total failure. The best opinion Of the most
observani and those most thoroughly con-
versant with the wheat al over the couaty, -
shat the crop in Talbos this year wtil be -
per cent. less thAa last years crsp -S'. M
cAaels Comet.
Many OF the farmers have ihreshed cut ,kc.E
wheat, and from what can be learned the
crop WILDE about Que third less ihaa last year.
This is the opinion OF a majority Of taraseEs,
bat in many cases the Yield vail be larger
than the average mentioned whilc ~ others
I, will fall considerably below T. Altogether
the crop is mnch larger aad Of better quality
than was to be expected considering che very
severe weather the wheat vas exposed 70 last
