TAI Oais.-- Oar friend \. II. C0ursey, Esq,
of Kent County, has forwarded the edltof OF
the Milford Beacon, q sample Of oats ranging
| from six feet UP 10 six feet eight inches AND a
half, and remarks that /" if any OF your contri-
| butors can heat that, when my oats get done
growing | will send the tallest stalk can get.o
The oats In this county are unusually large, ana
We have had some tall specimens, taken from
tho fields Of James II. Ray, near Newark, and
John Mccullough and Moses 1.owthCr, near
Genlreyillc. but we think the palm will have to
he AWARDED to Mr.. Coursey. Mr.. G. has also
some corn Of tho common variety, which mod'
sured on The 18th ms t., nine feet in height
without stretching the blades. We saw some
corn on the Odd inst, one week later, which
measured ten feet
n Siorm.--Qutc a severe storm occurred OF
Monday afternoon, between Bridgeyilln atlG
Seaford, Sussex county. The rain came dowI
ina perfect torrent, flooding The roadsA ans
swelling the streams, and the wind blew al
most hurricane, prostrating the corn and
oats, and tearing limbs from tho trees. VIZ
need rain in this region, hut like the deacon
in his prayer, our people prefer that the Lorc
should not send n heavy storm Overlooking tht
low ground, Frustrating the corn and oats, anS
carrying away their hay cocks, hnt mat !
should descend gently rs tho dew, dri27l
drozzle, for the space Of day or two.
Raiiqn Odfg.-Wc have been shown spool
men Of oats, commonly called the italian, ia
ken from the field of John Patterson, near Ney
Castle, the taliest of which measured feet
inches, and some OF the stalks contain Ia
grains which will certainly make large yield
This is more important than the length Of tn
straw, aud if any one beats it they will d.
well. This variety Of oats weighs about u
pounds 10 the bushei.
