ECHOES FROM THE FAIR.
DR.. Greenleaf, who made such an elab
crate display OF wheat at last years fair
did not find time to make q similar display
this year, but shows only one new variety
OF Hindoostan wheat. He shows two
samples. one grown In the clayey soil o
Delaware and the other In limestone soil IL
eastern Pennsylvania. The result showed
that the limestone soil yielded more gener
ously, although both showed the growth Of
round, full grain which ia hardy, has
stiff straw and ripens earlier than thu
average wheat.
