Nearly if not quite ill the dsm‘ge done to
the Wheat this season, has been done by the
weevil and the nut. It is very important to
avoid the destruction of the Wl's: crop from
these causr , s heraatter. Many intelligent farts
erl think our crop might be tared in future,
by sowing Wbeat that would ripe** week or
two earlier than our ordinary harvest. Grain
raised some hundreds of miles North of as,
where the season is shorter than here, would
ripen considerably in adtlinee of that eultirat
ed in this latitude. This would greatly in
crease the chance of getting It in without dam
age.
