Qf late years the Clawson, or Seneca, has given us the beet returns a strong rank grower, fairly hardy, we have got 85 and 40 bushels to the acre, and I have men 50 ou some fields. 11 is a light second clam wheat, but the yield has compeueated for the interior quality. I tried the Scott wheat three years. but only got one crop, It is too tender for liar - on. In Essex and Leaubton it 18 tbe most euccessful wheat, aud. is of the first quality. I have sown the De- mocrat four years with sumess— have twice had 40 bushels to the acre, and it weighs from 133 to 04 pounds per hueliel.. I moulder it the beet wintering whet wo have, and although it will not yield as much, perhaps, as °lawmen, the quality is very muoli superior. Last fall I sowed four acme of the Martin, or Star Amber, acrotet the middle of a fifteen acre field of summer fallow. It Lau not wintered as well, and is 1101 86 good as the Democrat 011 01111- er side. The. edgee of the strip cau be seen for considerable distance. But wish to say to die millers who complain of the Seneca, that if they would pay the price for red wheat 1 thtnk it would bo grown. Do they encourage us to grow it 2 Do they not offer us just ae much fnr Seneca as for Demoncrat 2 1 Bola to millere last year, and for my 700 bushels Democrat I took Clawson price for all, except what I sold for seed. The red wheat is worth five mots per buebel more, and if the millers would make tho difference they would see more red wheat brought to the mark- et. I remain, yours truly, W. Son.
