criptions of wheat, in juxta position in the
same field, and often on very superior
land, as well as that of my nelghbors,
have been seriously injured both by fly
and rust. Such is my experience IN re-
gard to this wheat, and such is the result
in all cases where it has been tested by
many to whom we have furnished it the
last two years for experiment. A few
facts in relation to this wheat will satisfy
any farmer why it escapes the Hesslan fly
necessarily, and why it is more exempt
from rust and rot, than any other winter
wheat. twill be found by all who try it,
to possess more energy of root than any
other known wheat. So that if seeded,
as it ought to be, between the 18th and
25th of September, though the fly will
attack and cut off the fall shoots, its ener-
gy of root is such as to leave that uninjur-
ed. And in the spring, owing to this en-
ergy of root, the growth is more rapid than
any other winter wheat, so that by the
18th of April, few days before the
spring fly begins to hatch, the ground
Joint of this wheat becomes hard and sap
less. and consequently free from the spring
ravages of the fly. This wheat ripens
about one week earlier than any other
winter species, and is, therefore. more
exempt from rust and rot. All l could
learn of DR.. Naudine as 10 the origin of
This wheat was, that it came from Germa-
nv. but by whom it was introduced into
Delaware he could not inform me. All
who cultivate this wheat should not omit
to sow it between the 18th and 25th of
Scptember-in all that month will do
1t should be seeded thick, because if thin,
the uncommon weight of the head will
bear much of it down. And it should
not be harvested till fully ripe, for if cut
in the milk state. the grain assumes dark
and unsightlv aspect. Unless we could
get rid Of the Hessian fly, | have never
known so desirable species of wheat as
this.

RYE PREVENTIVE OF wEEvIL IN WHEAT.
Sangeruille, May s, lS4l.
Mr. EDEs-ln conformity to my prom
isc last spring, that | would let you know
the result of the experiment | recommend
ed to prevent the destruction Of wheat by
the weevil-viz: sowing Rye with wheat.
/ forward this communication.
] sowed two quarts of rye TO bnshcl
of wheat, the rye blossomcd few days
before the wheat, and | observed the fly
on it busiy employed as soon as it was in
blow; and found to my satisfaction that
when the wheat came into blow they still
committed their deprcdations on the rye.
The rye by branching keeps up supply
in proper state for them to work on un-
til they finish their business for the season.
The last week oftheir work the weather
was very calm, and the flies were ex-
trcmely busy on the rye, but very seldom
to be seen on the wheat. The result was
the rye was a total failure, for take hand.
full of heads as they come, and you would
not find more than one kernel to seven or
eight heads. The wheat was not dam
aged scarcely any. should not think
there was more than two kernels missing
in head by the weevil. / found in some
instances more than thirty eggs in with
one kernel of rye, so many generally that
there was not enough for them to subslst
upon, and they of consequence all died.
Now, Mr.. Edes, / think it much easier to
bait them to their own destruction than to
drive them with skunks hedgehogs. or
even Loafer's long mines.
