A delegation from Ilnirerstown, Md., of practical farmers and gentlemen Interested in agricultural developement arrived in this city Monday, witb a view of visiting the famous wheat fields of Levi W. Qroif in Went Earl township, where his new methods of cultivating wheat have pro duced results that have attracted great at tention throughout this district and have drawn thither hundreds of curious specta tors from all parts of Pennsylvania and ad joining states. The fields lie across the road from Mr. GroiTs house and are three In number of about ten acres each. At first view the results of the new mode of cultivation are not as apparent iu the distinctness of the rows as might be expected, but a glnuce at the tall and erect standing grain and the well filled heads that would weigh it down were it not so stiff iu the straw, tolls the experienced farmer that a re markable yield of wheat is before him. Closer examinatiou of the field shows the rows iu which it is planted and the spaces between the standing grain very distinctly. The first field was sown iu the last of Sep tember. It is about ten acres in extent and of rolling land sloping to the east. It had previously been farmed in wheat and the year before that in corn and tobacco. Last year there were put upon the whole field COO pounds of phosphate and about 23 bushels of tan baik ashes. The wheat, of the amber variety, was sown, 1 i bushels to the acre, with the drill, with Mr. Adam 13. GroiTs patents. The body of the drill is that of the old fashioned implement ; the tubes are placed eleven inches apart, and the grain is distributed in rows four inches wide. Au attachment across the mouth of the tube scatters the grain and constitutes one of the patents. The shovel enclosing the tube is notably wide. The growth of the wheat consequently is in ridges four inches wide, and during the fall and early spring the alternating stripes of bare earth, eleven inches iu width, are very noticeable. About the middle of April the first cultivation of the wheat occurs. This is done with the improved cultivator. The tubes are removed from the drill and barrows attached, the com bination forming another of the Groff im provements. Each harrow of the four con sists of a group of three sharp teeth, the middle one projecting, and so arranged that they pass over the rows of earth be tween the wheat, harrowing it thoroughly without touching the growing grain. The horses walk in the outside rows, just before the extreme right and left Land hooks. The second cultivation of the wheat took place about the beginning of May. Im mediately after this the cloverseed was sown, and the youug clover now is very well set in the ground, effectually disprov ing the objection of the new method that it prevents the free growth or sufficiently early planting of the clover. The next field is of the Clawson variety, and was sown thicker, 2 bushels of seed to the acre. The third was sown early in October and is also of the Clawson seed, sown about 1 bushels to the acre. Neither of these is superior to the first, and this experience has not demonstrated the ad vantage of thick sowing. Indeed it was the opinion of most of the visitors that a sowing of a bushel, or at most five pecks, to the acre would have beeu still more ad . vantageous. Across the road is a little patch of four acres of cultivated wheat, sown much later, shorter in the straw but well developed in the bead. Four quarts of cloverseed to the acre here, sown after the seoond cultivation, produced a beauti ful crop, of clover, well set and regular. This patch had been twice in corn and was seeded without any fertilizer. A singular fact is that the upper row of this patch is several inches tailor and notably better than the others, attributable to the freer play of the air and sun upon it. If this be the proper and it is the most reason able explanation of this phenomenon, it is a striking argument in behalf of the new mode, the merits claimed for which are that besides the beneficial effect of keeping the ground around the roots well worked up, free from weeds and loosened for the moisture to penetrate it, the intervening spaces allow the air and sun to play through the grain to the great advantage of its better growth. A neighboring field of Dr. W. Rancke, Mr. GroiTs son-in-law, was visited, and the Grain there, which has been cultivated in like manner, was found erect, long in the straw, and if anything better headed than GrofTs. . The entire fields present an ap pearance of a wonderful growth, and while nearly evoi y other tract of wheat on the way is more or less lodged, that which has been cultivated stands perfectly erect, and from its appearance the expectations are that it will average a yield of from 45 to 50 bushels per acre. Last year a single acre treated in this manner yielding CI bushels and next year Mr. Groff proposes to put out five fields in wheat. The theory of the new mode is as rea- onable as its practical results are satis factory, and while intelligent farmers vary as to the rxient of the improvement, next year we may look forau application of the new mode on a very extensive scale.
