N B. about 8 bushls. wheat pr. acre is a full allowance for the better kind of Farms in these parts. Some do not yield 6., and 8 out of 10 do not come up to 8 bushls. per acre. The farms I have selected sow from 15 to 20 a[cre] s. winter Grain. The average of actual crops is however less than 8 bushls. to the acre.
