Some farmers say that, tto damage has been done that a week or two or good growing weather would not repair ; while others hold that the fall wheat is totally ruined. While the case may not be so bad as some of the less hopeful are inclined to fear, yet that weight of evidence goes to show that there has been a very great, deal of damage. Where the ground is wet, or where water lay during the thaws the wheat is said to he completely gone. On dry laud the plant is badly damaged, and there are grave fears that the roots are getestally injured aSs well as the top.
