Cn10AGo, Sept. 8.—In tho early history of the State of Illinols winter wheat was ralsed in great quantitics and of a very fno quatity. Of latc years it has entirely been supblanted hy apring whent and otlier kinds of spring graln. The question is frequently asked, * Why can it not be rajsed now! Wy have a very rich nnd prolifie soll, n quality of soil that in other parts of the country produces crops of wheat of good quality and quantity. Tho main cause of the Iaflure of tho wheat crop in Northern Illinois, 1t 18 sald, is the presence of tho chintz-bug and other encinies of u smilar character. In Western New York the fineat erops of winter wheat were rajsed ol ml‘l! zxartlon of the country. **Uenesco wheat and Geneseo flour ™ were tho leading brands of wheat and flour in both this country and Eurbpe for nearly a hall acentury. This all was suddenly ruliied and cut ol hy the destruction of thie wheat-crop in Western New York in 1850 by tho appearance of the weevll. But by an finproved system of cultivation it has In & measure been restored. Cannot theralsing of winter-wheat be restored in Northern Tilinols by an fmproved system of cultivation 7 This subject has been brought to my mind recently by roceiving alettor from John M. Hciges, of York, Penusylvania, giving an necount of the system of cultivation cinployed hi' Uhn in ralsing winter whest. o preparcs hls ground In the ordinary way by decp plow- {ngr and thorough harrowing, completely pulver- fzIng the soll. ~ Provious to sowing, he throws 1] flFes about 10 Inches at_thelr buse, leaving alevel space between tho ridges of 12 {nchies fn width, measuring from the bage of the ridge. In throwing up the ridges he usea o * Monarch” cultivator, and leaves the space between the rmg‘cn Tevel, Tlo sows broadeast one and o linlf bushels per acre, aud follows with a common spike hurrow [n the samo dircetlon with the' ridwes, Tle then uses a cominon drag to level the ridges. Tito wheat sown ou the ridges is harrowed down into the spaces be- tween the rldges, This leaves an open space of 10 inches hetween thé llues of growing wheat. 1le sows his wheat ncver: carlier than the 25th of Scptember. ‘The spacea between the rows of wheat are plowed or culivated the same as you eultivato corn, This can be done by any com- mon enltivator, and one or two cultivatings wil answer the purpose. The result of this system of culture 13 a crop of wheat of fifty-one bushe elxand twenty-two pounds per acre on the samo- ground that, under the old system of enlture, Yrm!ucexl only twenty-threo bushels per acre, 118 erop this year welghs 64 pounds per hushet, Trom an examination” of a photograph of the standing erop Just before harvesting, sent me by Mr. Helges, I ghould infer that the growth Wi enorious, ‘The stalks are very tall, and of uniform heiglith; the beads are very large and l;lump. In cultivating wheat in this manuer it 4 no ore expense or trouble than cultivating the same number of acres of corn, and It can b harvested {n the same manner as an ordinary crop of wheat. ‘This ubjeet s one well worth tho attention of Western farmers, Fflruaulnrly the farmers of Northern Illinots, 1f wheat sown and eultivat- ed In the manner above described produces over 51 bushels to the acro, and with no more trouble or labor than cultivating a crop of corn, it ought to stimulate some of our uu?crprldng farmers to make the trial, Mp Helges, doubt- less, would furnish any information as to the wnethod of ewlture or variety or quality of sved to bo used.
