THOMAS HUNTON.

May 28, 1817.

I obtained from my neighbor, James Lawler, in the fall of 181, a half bushel of wheat, which he brought the seed of from Chester county, Pa. on account of its resisting the Hessian fly. I sowed it Having sustained, in common with my neighbors, almost the in November, and raised seven and a halt bushels, which I sowed in entire loss of my growing crop of wheat from the ravages of the 1812, and raised one hundred and ten, and have since continued to fly, I was induced to visit the neighborhoods of Haymarket and sow said wheat; my crops last year and this are entirely of that Backland, for the purpose of examining the fly-proof wheat, known kind; I would so no other, being satisfactorily convinced, from in these parts of the country by the name of Lawler wheat, and experiment and observation, that the fly would not affect it.'

GERRARD ALEXANDER, Sen.

I

I, Owen Thomas, do hereby cortify, that in Dec. 1811, I was in Chester county, Pennsylvania, on a visit to my friends, where I uuderstood that the Jones's white wheat was cultivated, and was told that since the introduction of that wheat there, they had not experienced any injury from the Hessian fly. I intended to have brought some of it to Virginia, but by different occurrences was prevented; after my return I found Mr. James Lawler, of the same county lived in, had brought a small parcel in from the saine place, and had seeded it; I got seed of that, and have sowed it for four years my past; it has never been injured by the fly. I sowed a part of crop of Lawler wheat last fall in the first week in September; it is How the best wheat I have, in proportion to the quality of the land, and has not been at all injured by the fly: a part of my crop last year was injured by the rust, and I am satisfied it was owing to a particular cause, as some of it was not injured; and I do not believe that the Lawler wheat is more subject to rust than other kinds; I OWEN THOMAS. have sowed last fall my whole crop of it.

WM. HUNTON. Buckland, Kinsley Mills, May 26. Having been, during the last and present year, principal miller in Mr. Love's mills, called Kinsley, I hereby certily, that I have ground, during the past season, upwards of five thousand bushels of the Lawler wheat, and for the portion of it ground for others, have given at the rate of 21 barrels of superfine flour for each 100 bushels: and I am satisfied a better profit has been made on that than the average of red wheat, ground at the rate of 20 barrels of superfine flour to the 100 bushels, and that it will yield as much flour as any other white wheat I have ever ground; it having been mixed with red wheat as it came into the mill, I cannot state what was the product of the whole, but I think it has exceeded 196 lbs. of Bour for four bushels 20 lbs. of wheat. Mr. William Hunton lately brought ter bushels and twenty-six pounds, it was prepared for family use, and particularly well cleaned, not necessary to be screened or fanned I ground it after taking toll, a tenth, and what remained produced two barrels of 196 lbs. each, and 62 lbs. of superfine flour.

JOHN BROWN.

I commenced sowing the Lawler wheat in 1813, and have continued to cultivate it ever since, sowing generally several kinds, and have found it always to resist the fly, and not more subject to other disasters than the other wheat, but it is about a week later. Finding the Lawler wheat foul with cockle and cheat, (the cause of which I know not) I bad determined not to sow any last fall, but at length concluded to sow forty bashefs in my earn land, and sowed my
