FALL %VVI -TEAT•
In our j,uroeyinga through the District, the
regret occasioned by the failure of the Spring
Wheat is in some measure lessened by a hope
that it may ultimately turn out to be a profitable
lesson. The cultivation of Fall Wheat i■ gen-
erally the most remunerative labour of the
farmer in Upper Canada. and we cannot under-
stand why it atou1J not be so in the Iluron Dis-
trict. Ws have awl equal to aoy other in the
Province. The few fernier• who have been in
the practice of cultivating fall wheat say, that
they have generally been successful, and the
arguments urged ;gainer the general cultivation
of it do not seem to carry much weight. In
Metro, as we have not the nliphtnt inclinatioo to
flatter our Iluron agriculturists where their own
interests forbid the flattery, we must honestly
tell them that we believe negligence is the great
cause of so little fall wheat being sown. And
were they to take a proper view of the matter,
they outbid easily perceive that their labour in-
,i•.aJ of being iocreased would be greatly facili-
tated by putting in a considerable quantity of
tall crop. They have more leisure immediately
after harvest than in almost any other time of the
tear, and the spring labour, which is necessarily
horned in consequence of the shortness of the
o eassn, might be greatly Ieenoed by empbymg
this leisure in putting in fall wheat. We will
-.pot presume to give any directions regarding the
• lune or manner in which it should be sown, as
ate can reasonably suppose that most farmers
possess more inlurmatiun on ihla subj,ct than
ourselves. We merely notice the subject as one
worthy rile attention of out farmers. Aud we
have pleasure in observing that many of the
best practical men ill the Distract are already
awake to the importance al the ruin -et, sod that
e greater quantity of fall wheat has been sown,
both on Lew IauJ and fallow, during the present
month than Loa been sown for so:ne yesrs past
ui Iluron ; and we wot.ld advise those who are
still doubtful of success to try the experiment. -
!t is certainly worthy of triol : lend we hope the
AgricafLaral Society will use its inllaence to
totruduca Rio volute of fall when more eaten-
eiyely by. o&eriog `a baodwere'ptemimitfor tow
