TIE WHEAT CROP.

In this section, some complaint is made of til,
ravages Of the Fly in the growing crop of " heat
but they seem to be much less extensive than in
other sections ofconnry. As far our nlurma-
ton extends it seems to be thou,u that full ay-
crage crop will be made in the country immediate
ly adjacent tothis place.
The Warenlon (Na.) Register, SAYS:
" We are informed that the wheat crops in the
Valley OF Shenandoah will be yer, much shorten
ed by the ravagcS olthc Fly, and by the drought
which has prevailed for some time. The upper
part of this county, too, has suffered much, from
the same causes. In some places the STOCK has
been turned on the wheat fields 10 erazc. The
long season in May (tlc wet season calIcd) has
set in, which sc hope will save the crop not Yet
dc~roscd'
The Charleston Jefferson COZ Free Press rep
rcscnrS the appearance of the wheat fields of that
region as totally changed, and as absolutely appal-
ling. The late delightful rains Gi says) have re-
rcshed aud invIgoraled other substances, bu, the
wheat is beyond rcdemption.'
The Jonesboroush (Tcnncs>cc) Farmer makes
similar complaints. 1t says" Many fields have
been ploughcd up and planted in corn, and it Is
certain the crop will be greatly diminished"
The IIagerstown (Maryland) Torch Light in-
forms us that the Wheat crop has not been nn-
promising in that county for the last twenty Years
The Reading PENN Press, SAYS, that in that
region there is prospect Of at least an average
crop.

RURAL ECONOMY.
THE SILK CULTURE.

The culture and manufacture of silk in
this country is assuming deep interest.
But it has attained in a very small degree
the importance it is yet destined to acquire ;
and years must elapsc, and the subject re-
ccive far greater attention, before the de-
mand for silk goods in our own country
alone, can be nearly supplied from domes.
tic manufacture. But the fact that there is
a gradual and constantly increasing attcn-
ton to the subject, shows that it is advancing
towards its place as an extensive and I'M
portant branch Of American industry.
The history of the silk culture in this
country, shows that the better 1t is under
stood, the more it is appreciated and is
full of encouragement to those who are en-
ear;ag in the business. The first attempt
in IN america was made in Virginia SO early
as the year 1923; but it was not carried
on to any extent until after the middle OF
the last century. About that time, and for
several years subsequently, it received con-
siderable attention in the Southern States
the quantity manufactured, however, con-
tinucd small. Early attention was paid to
its culture in Pennsylvania; In ITO, Susan.
nh Wright, of Lancaster county, made a
piece of mautua of sixty yards in length, OF
her own cocoons in the same year, u fila
ture was established at Philadelphia, and
in 1771, $500 lbs. were brought there to
reel. The business however declined du.
ring the Revolutionary war. In Connec-
ticut the business was early commenced on
a firm basis, and has since been constantly
increasing. The white mulberry and the
silk worm were first introduced into the
town of Mansfield in Windham county,
by Nathaniel Aspinwall in the year l76O,
Immediately after which an extensive nur-
sery of the trees was planted by him in
New Haven, and afterwards disseminated

SCENE IN CONGRESS.

The following vivid sketch Of the recent
exciting Debate in the House Of Represen.
tatiyes, is from the Bal imorc Patriot OF
January %.
: Mr.. Adams commenced by alluding to
the declarations which had recently been
made in another place, that to that House
belonged the responsibility Of loosing the
Fertilization Bill He went on to anirnad-
vert upon the opinions and declarations
which had been made in that place, which
he said were untrue and not warranted by
facts. AS he began to grow severe, the
Speaker reminded him that the rules Of the
House did no. permi. member to animad-
vert upon the proceedings Of the Senate.
Mr.. Adams said no did not say any thing
about the Senate; he spoke Of aphes-he
did not say what place; it was left for the
members of that House to associate in their
minds the Senate of the United States 'orl
Cheraw gazette. [volume] (Cheraw, S.C.) 1835-1838, 1836-02-16

The principal part of the labor may be |
performed by women and children. But
where the business is carried on to con.
siderable extent, it is considered more pro.
ftable to employ some men for the last Pc
rIod Of the worms.
1t is now believed by many, that If in.
stead of transplanting the trees in the or.
chard form, as in the above estimate, they
are placed in rows about eight feet apart:
and two OF three feet in the row, by proper
care and culture, five times the amount
may be raised from an acre. But even on
the supposition in the above estimate, (Which
experiment has proved to be very tnoder-
ate,) how can On acre of land be made to
yield a greater profit? If the rockiest
towns in connecticut produce annually sew:
enty or eighty thousand dollars why may
not the more fertile regions further west do
as much2 Children may make more from
an acre Of mulberry trees, than men can
make from an acre of wheat or corn.
Perseverance and judgment are required
for success in this, as well as in every
branch of business; and those who engage
in the work must be prepared for some dis.
appointments ut the commencement, TOR
experience is always necessary in every un-
dertaking: But difficulties will soon be
overcome by practice.
Competition cannot affect it; except for
the better; for tltc greater the number o.
cocoons produced, tire greater will be the
;nducon,ont for tho croction of silk filatllrGS
and manufactures Of the best construction,
which will not only cheapeu the labor but
increase materially the value by improving
the quality of the articlesr Nor can there be
any danger of the market becoming soon
overstocked, while ten or twelve millions o.
dollars worth are annually consumed in the
United States; besides which millions Of
dollars worth of raw silk are yearly import
ed into France and England to supply the
manufactures.
