smut in Corn.

Everybody has noticed the abundance
Of smut in Indian Corn this year, which
makes its appearance on all parts Of the
stock in = growth ike mushrooms and is
called "woolf'' by many. In walking
through the farm Of Mr.. J. L. Boykin, Of
this county, a few mornings since, our at
tention was called to this state of things,
when we advanced the theory that it was
owing to a want Of Potash in the soil.
The outside coating upon the corn is a
thin glossy substance consisting chiefly of
Potash. Where this substance is deficient
in this soil, the outer coating of the corn
must be very thin and incapable of sus-
taining the pressure from within; caused
by the distentiou of vessels conveying the
sap. The coating bursts-springs a leak,
and the exposed juices become diseased
In viewo Of this theory we cited the fact,
that land which had been long cultivated
in potatoes and then planted in corn was
more likely to produce corn with numerous
instances Of smut. Potatoes exhaust the
land of Potash. Following these remarks
Mi. Boykin suggested that we advance tc
field on the side of the swamp which was
freshly cleared, and retained all the origi
nal qualities Of the soil /: We did so anc
found scarcely any sign of smut. If on
theory be correct, lime and ashes are tn
articles needed to renew the soil on farm
thus suffering. Mari, and especially tn
green sand mari, together with litter from
the forest would greatly aid in r~estorini
such farms as suffer from the want Of th
articles mentioned. Will some of the fal
mers in Sampson or other counties pursu
this subject, and give us the result of thei
experiments. If our theory is wrong "
should like to know tiff it is right W
should like to know it. The experimel
would be easy to make.
Take an old piece of land that has bee
long cultivated ia potatoes, manure OF
half with highly stimulating manures co
tanning but little Potash. Then mana
the other half with some substance co
tanning an abundance of Potash. The
suit will be easy Of observation. Who "
try it? It is a matter Of vast importan
