The following remarks on this sub
iect were made by the Hon. Henry
Mcigs, at the New York Farmers
Club:
| have received communication
from Mr.. K. Seymour, Of Orange coun-
~, in reference to his experiments for
the purpose Of improving the varieties
Of this great agricultural staple, to
which beg leave to call the attention
of the Club. Mr.. Seymour has been
making experiments for number Of
years. for the purpose Of obtaining a
variety adapted to our climate, and
with increased productiyeness Of grain,
and believes he has attained both these
objects. Out of seventeen varieties
he selected small kind which pro-
duced from five to eight ears upon
stock, with small grains Of every
hue and crossed it with the finest
eight-rowed white variety. He CON
/ tinued this cultivation in his garden
until he obtained the desired improve
mcnt The small variety had twelve
rows covering the cob TO the point ;
The product from these is large eai OF
twelve rows, Of forty four to forty six
hard. finty grains, covering the cob IN
uniform rows from the butt 10 the tip
the cob is perfectly ripened and dry ;
these qualities show that the crop has
matured III good season, and will not
be liable TO mould Or mildcw in the
crib.
Having thus happily succeeded in
obtaining variety which gives it.

tat0es. Leaves from the woods Will
answer all the purposes of straw. Do
not be afraid OF covering too deep; pile
on the straw and leaves two feet deep,
and the tops will come through. 1t is
not like covering them with earth that
deep, for the tuber is not beyond the
influence Of light and air, and moisture
will be generated, and be retained by
the decomposing vegetable substance.
In the vicinity Of tanyards, tan bark
may be used in mulching potatoes.
First, plant the potatoes quite shallow,
in mellow, rich earth, and cover the
whole surface, six inches deep, with
tan bark. Sawdust, may also be used
in the same manner. The only objec-
tion to using bark and saw dustis that
they are so slow Of decomposition, that
they unfit the ground for any other
crop; whereas the ground covered with
straw or leaves, is increased in fertili-
ty for any crop that may be planted
afterwards.
. When in Mobile, last season, we
learned from a gentleman very sue
cessful method of raising potatoes
This gentleman lived on the river near
the bay, where large quantities Of drift
wood and trash had been accommodating
from the floods. He dug deep trench
es and filed them up with rotten wood
in these, he planted the potatoes, and
covered over with the trash, composed
of leaves, weeds, SC. The crop Of tn-
bers vas enormous and Of tlIe very best
quality. All Of our readers may nol
have the means Of planting in this man
ner. But there is many trash pile witt
gold mine under.
If seed potatoes be an object, w
would advise to cut them once in Two
cut them at least ten DAYS before plant
Ing, and spread them where the wounds
will heal. Next month will be tint
enough to plant potatoes in the ground
without mulclling. The hill system
should be abandoned in this climate

The Weather and the Crops.

We have had delightful summer weather
for the past two weeks, and vegetation has
progressed with great rapidity, though show
kFs have been rather too frequent in these parts
for wheat harvesting and nay making.
The Wheat Crop is nov mostly secured in
this region and south Of US, and from all that
We have seen or heard, we believe that the
yield will prove nearly an average one. On
The best lands the crop is remarkably fne--the
heads long and the grain very plump. Many
6elds were badly lodged by the late rains,
causing an increase Of labor in cutting, but
not much damage to the gaain, as there was
less rust this year than usual in such cases.
Late fields OF wheat in the central and north
ern parts Of the State we're generally affected
with the 'weeyil, '(midge, but the injury done
by this cause Is not as great as was anticipated
two or three weeks since.
CoRN has made good time since our last, and
now gives promise Of bountiful crop, except
on wet and elayey lands where ii was injured
by the raiDs, and could not be worked in
season. We measured some stalks on oul
purseTy grounds near town, which were nine
feet might at the 18th inst. and growing al
the rate Of nearly halfa foot day.
Oats are u good deal lodged, on rich lands
but the crops as a whole is exceedingly fine
Rye is generally harvested, and very gooc
crop. Barley promises well. Grass neve
was better, especially timothy meadows.
Potatoes continue to grow most laxuriantly
and the tubers are very large for the season
so that an abundant yield my be anticipated.
Apples. peaches, &c., bid fair to be uncom
