The only true way to arrive at the meaning Of the

yela fall wa respect to the acreage so~n. Taxing
zine states which yielded in 1854 no less than
277 bushels winter wheat appears that the

excellent condition reported this year in April the yield
would still be- ABOUT i0.OOpOO0 bushels lsss than IN
