an international grievance. , Mr. Cleeke

state that the spring wheat will not
average anything like what the farmers
supposed it would. The straw is long
and the ear is large, and very- full
But for the midge, which is doinggrea
damage to the crop, the yield would. be
immense. Most encouraging reports
are received from all quarters in. res-

The fall wheat will average, it is thought
about 22 bushels to the acre. In the
