English Wheat,

When abroad last year Mr.. William B.
Thomas, of this city, purchased some seed
wheat in London. He purchased two varie-
ties, San Hundred Fold'' and "Stand Up. +"
Mr.. Thomas seeded this wheat last Septem-
Der, some on each of his four farms. The
wheat will not be fit to cut for ten days yet,
but it's thick on the ground and the heads
average from ST to 81 in length, and the grain
is large. The heads are nearly twice the size
of the wheat grown in Carroll, and there are
about 80 grains to the head. Many persons
who have seen Mr. Thomas wheat fields be-
lieve they will yield from so to GO bushels per
acre. A number of farmers have applied to
Mr.. Thomas for some of this wheat, and he
has agreed TO let some Of his friends grow
some and divide the yields.
The stalks of the wheat are very large, as
compared with the Carroll wheat, and it is
far less liable to fall under heavy winds and
rain.
