Some Kent County wheat Yields.

The following which we clip from the
Chestertown (Kent county, Transcript will be
interesting reading to our farmers who are con
cerned in wheat culture as showing what our
Eastern Shore friends are doing in this line.
Taken as a whole these yields are extraoi binary,
and if, as the Transcript says these yields are
the rule and not the exception, Kent leads the
State in wheat growing:
| The Transcript has endeavored to collect wheat
yields from various parts of the county. and
gives the result below. There are numerous see
lions not heard from, however and the report Is
nothing like so full rs We would like II to be.
There are many of the largest farmers in the
county who have not yet threShed. This Is the
case in all parts OF the county The crops reported
other crops that will be when thre>hed. fully as
large in yield. The average yield in this county
this year is probably from - to - bushels To the
acre. The first and second districts seem To have
taken the premium this year. We hope the
other districts are not ashamed To report. From
around about Galena We get the following:

average of over - bushels To the acre. ON twenty
