Abstract

The article discusses the impact of unusual winter weather on the agricultural prospects for Fall Wheat and the upcoming harvest in Lower Canada. It highlights concerns among farmers regarding the quantity of flour needed to sustain the population of Montreal, estimated at 92,820 barrels annually. The text notes that Lower Canada has historically produced sufficient bread but has not done so in the past twenty years, leading to reliance on other regions for grain. The author advocates for the encouragement of grain production over potatoes, which are seen as an unreliable substitute. [Extracted from the article]
