AGRICULTURAL,
SEEDS.

Much attention is lately paid to the procuring
of the best seeds. Corn is grain that requires
hot summer to bring it to full maturity, and the
early kinds sought for that they may ripen
before the frosts of September overake them.
Corn is invariably heaviest and best in the hottest
summers, but this is not the with what is
called English grain
Wheat rye, oats, barley, &c, give us better
harvest in a cool summer than in warm one.
This has so generally been the case that we do
not calculate on the best crops both Of Indian
corn and of the English grains in the same sea-
SON The disastrous year of 1926, was remarka-
Bile for the failure of the crops of English grain
as we'll as of Indian corn There was very
general failure Of both throughout the Northern
and Middle States.
Proper Selectioas.-By proper attention to the
subject, any farmer may improve his seeds with
very little trouble. If he will examine his wheat,
his rye, or his barley while in the field, he will
see a remarkable difference in the appearance of
the heads. Some will be longer than others ;
some will be many days earlier than the BY
selecting such he likes best, he may, in one or
two years, propagate that kind, and that only,
which suits his fancy best
Cuuse8 Of Rust, BtaSt Sc. The prevailing opin-
ion in New England, is that hot and sultry
mers cause the stalks of English grain to grow
too rapidly, and that when such turns of weather
happen at the time Of the filing up of the kernel,
they cause such an abundant aow Of the juices
as to split open the stalk. The sap is thus Arrest
ed in its progress to the and trickes down on
the stalk This becomes rusty by means OF the
contact of the juices with the air. and the kernel
is deprived of its nourshment
1t is therefore quite imprudent to SOW spring
grain on land which is very rich; the stalks will
grow too fast in climate. But old, rotten
manure, spread on even in spring time, is not so
injurious green, or long manure For it hast
ems the growth of the grain in the early part OF
the season, and sometimes causes the heads to fill
before the sultry weather comes on; whereas the
dong manure works later and arrived at its acme
at the most dangerous season of the growth of
the grain. We consider this the true reason why
unrotted manure should not be used on English
gram.
operate to injure this harvest, Smut and mildew
are often brought on by peculer states of the at
mosphere and by sowing unclean seed. Worms
and flies, also, as well as human beings, know the
value of wheat, and are often socitous for their
share. 1t is the husbandman's duty TO guard his
crops, and TO discover a remedy for all the evils
to which they are exposed.
