AUCKLAND GROWN WHEAT IN THE NEW YORK MARKET.

The following very emphatic testimony is borne to Auckland grown wheat by the New York Produce Reporter of date the 10th September last : — A year ago we imported from Adelaide, South Australia, via San Francisco, and overland by rail, some- 1500 bushels of heavy oats for the Agricultural Department of Washington for distribution for seed purposes, and, as will be seen from an advertisement in another column of Messrs I. Williams and Sons, 15 Stone-street, this city, they now have for sale 1700 bushels of seed wheat from the same quarter. And we have received from Auckland, New Zealand, per barque Thames, a bag of the handsomest white wheat we ever laid eyes on. The sender (John Lamb, Esq., Waitemata Mills), writes us that the average 'yield Lof ' this grain in New Zealand often reaches 40 bushels per acrei- The average yield of wheat in this country in the most prolific seasons is undei* 15^ bushels. Who believes 1 that the climate and soil of New Zealand for wheat J growing purposes are as much better -than "those v of our fertile arable lands as.4o is greater than , ,15 ?
