Extract of a letter from Willfborough, (on Lake Champlain) to the printer hereof, dated Dec. 10.
"The crops of every kind of grain on the borders of Lake Champlain, have been very great, this year, winter and summer wheat especially; a farmer in Willfborough had, from one single root of wheat, one hundred and forty-eight ears, most of them of a large growth; one of the reapers cut the grain before the number of ears were noticed, so that the number of grains could not be counted; but the field in which it grew, contains 28 acres, on which was sown 31 bushels, and it yielded upwards of 800."
