Apply to HENRY GREER, Solicitor, Lurgan. December 12, 1849. ======================= MUMMY WHEAT.
The seed was first brought into England from Thebes, by Sir Wm. Symonds, of Hampshire, and now grown by Francis Fforde, Esq., of Raughlan. It is the produce of one grain of Egyptian wheat obtained from a mummy. What is most remarkable is the great length of time that has elapsed since the corn from which the plant was produced grew; for, at the most reasonable computation, no less a time than 571 years b.c , or 2,400 years, have passed away since any record can be obtained of entombing mummies within the tombs of Thebes. There are, at a very moderate computation, upwards of 1,600 grains of corn in 15 stems. The stem is a single ear, resembling our common ears of wheat, and this springs from the same root. May we not, therefore, infer that the wheat now grown is a degenerate class of this same species which formerly grew in Egypt; else, how could the Egyptians have supplied the empire of Assyria, Greece, and Rome, from their superabundance above their own wants. Raughlan, Dec. 10, 1849. ======================
