The largest accurate yield of wheat
we have heard so far this season, is a
field of rs acres on the farm of Mr..
Elias Parshall, which produced 80
bushels to the acre. Mr.. Parshall.
when he seeded the field last fall,
discovered that he had made IA mis-
take in setting the drill, and had only
sown 3 pecks TO the acre. He after
forwards seeded a bushel more in the
field, crossing the rows made at first
seeding. This, he believes, accounts
for the large yield. Mr.. G. IL. Box
we'll reports that his crop on the
"kosemont Farm" made an average
yield of "a bushels on II acres; also.
his field of oats averaged 40 bushels
TO the acre.
