Fears have been felt and expressed that, owing to the prevalence of cold, wet weather, the wheat sowed in early March, would rot in the ground, and render a second sowing necessary. So far as we are able to learn the fears are not likely to be realized. Wheat is already sprouting and beginning to put in an appearance above ground. Mr. Fill, of Irvington gives it as his opinion that wheat will sprout from seven to nine times without injury.
