THE WHEAT CROP. The WiIiamsport.
Md. Times says:-"An experienced and good
practical farmer the other day told US that he
had occasion to thresh rick of grain, which,
from its size, would have promised yield Of
500 bushels, only produced IT'S! and this light
and of an inferior quality, falling considerably
short of the standard weight We have not
heard of any other experiment in the yield or
turn out of the wheat crop; but should Judge,
from the location of the gentleman's farm, and
his skill in tilage, that this yield is about fair
criterion to judge of the rest.

The POrATo Rot. 1t is very important to
farmers, and to the community, TO discover, if
possible, the cause of the rot in potatoes and the
remedy for the same. We published some days
since, the suggestions of a Frederick county
farmer, that the disease was mainly attributable
to the too great use Of what is called long stable
manure; but took the liberty Of doubling the
correctness Of the position, inasmuch as we had
seen potatoes of this years growth with the
rot, and which had not been manurcd in any
way. The last Examiner contains communi-
cation from Mr.. Thomas Sim, Liberty, on this
subject, which seems to favor the theory advan-
ced by the former writer in the Examiner. He
says:
"Mr. Adam Willard who is one of our best
Beaver Dam farmers, and man Of strong sense
and habits of close observation, Informed me
that he had two potato patches this season-one
in his garden and the other in a field on re-
mote part of his farm Near he one in his gar
den is a cistern, intended to collect the liquid
manure as it runs from the barn yard, which
owing to the numerous rains of the season,
oveT-howed very frequently, the washings from
winch ran Immediately through the potato
patch. The field remote from his dwelling,
was manured broadcast. The result was, in
the patch in his garden, fully one half of the
potatoes were so injured by the rot, as to be
unfit for use, while those in the field could not
be finer"
We have known in former seasons, potatoes
planted IN ground subject to be oveIhowed by
water, to be rotted and unfit for use, whilst
those placed in high ground were Of the best
quality-we do not, therefore, conclude, that
the liquid manure was the cause of the rot in
the case mentioned, as it is probable that pure
water would have produced the same result
But these suggestions are valuable, inasmuch
as they may lead to further investigation and
experiments.
