p. Mention was made some time ago (says the Australasian) of an extremely pioiific oat, nrmed the Triumph, which was said to tiPer freely and yield prodigiously in Germany, and which waa advertised for sale in London at LlO per buahel, c ' two bushels for LlB The National Agricul(u<al Society cf Victoria procured two bushels, and sold them to members at a price just covering tho . jst. Mr John Fmlay has his reed sown near Eahuca, where the growth lr * been pro^i»ious. A bundle of specimens shown to us is composed of stems ps stout as the little finger, and upwards of 30 inches high, there being from 10 to 12 of euch stalks to a plant. The soil, woa of course, favorably aud the Beed was sown very thinly. There is as yet no appearance of tho jag, so that the straw at full crowlh will probably range from sft to Gft in length. The yield will be anxiously looked for.
