Japanese Wheat.

English newspapers announce with considerable interest the discovery, made by the Paris Acclimation Society, that Japanese wheat, planted in April or May, is ripe and ready for the harvest quite as early as European-grown wheat, sown some five or six months earlier, and the yield js equally large
