This has been an eventful season to the
farmers Of Frederick county, and now that the
work Of the year is over many interesting cal
culations are being made. 1t is concluded that
the yield has been large, especially in the
Glades district. The wheat yield is put at
twenty bushels per acre and the corn at ten.
Hay was unusually heavy, though poor in
quality, owing to rain during harvest Wheat
was also much damaged. The price here for
wheat il from 60 to so cents per bushel; corn,
e1.50 to 81 per barrel. The clover seed is all
poor, the yield being less than half bushel TO
the acre.
