CULTIVATION OF THE CORN CROP.

Henrico Co., Va, MAY, 1858.
MIR. Editor.-lt may not be out of place
TO give, at this time, what | consider to be
the best method Of cultivating corn upon Iirht
land and give this plan because think it
will be found to be less labor than that usual
" adopted. In the first place the land should
not be plowed too deep. This may seem a
sentiment Of the retrograde order at this PERI
od OF deep blowing, but still it is true as
preaching with regard to the light lands of
this portion of the State. Ifit is desired to
break such soil deeper than five or six inch.
es, II must be done with the subsoil plow Or
the cross, il not, the land itself will suffer in
consequence OF the poor subsoil turned up to
the surface. Land for corn should be broken
up as near to the time Of planting as practi.
cable, so that the earth may be fresh and mel.
low for the young plants.
These remarks are too late for this sea.
sou, but as our friends cannot profit by the
first part. perhaps they may in some measure
by the latter.
The land now is to be we'll narrowed and

ped two and a half feet apart. and three or
four grains in a place; it should then be
covered with cultyator, the front tooth Of
which has heen removed, followed By double
harrow.
This planting leaves the land in nice order,
and checks the grass till the corn is large
enough to cultivate. As soon as the plants
have three or four leryes, run narrow tooth

vators have gone through once let them 90 Inn

harvest, would say run once in the rows

error to pillow corn before harvest and il Il Is
done the grass will generally be found to have
taken possession Of the rows again, and will
require hoe work, or that the rows should be
thrown up high enough to plant sweet Po'a-
toes on. After harvest let the pOughs 20

shallow as possible so as 10 cover the grass,
then break the middles with the cultlvators,
or, IL the grass is too strong, with the pillow,
very shallow.
Corn roots should not be exposed TO the
sun and broken by deep plowlng.

s0APsUDS EFFEcTUAL FOR DESTROYING
CHINCH BUGS.
MEssas. EpnoRs. Among the many tribes
of insects which tleyour the vegetable pro.
ducts of the farmer, that numerous species
called chineh bugs are at present the most
alarming. Should they increase from year
TO year land we see nothing TO prevent ex.
cept the powerful operation Of some natural
cause unknown TO u.s. they will in time not Tar
remote, sweep all before them. II seems
necessary. in order TO concentrate our Efforts
in one common cause against our numerous
enemy. that Investigations and experiments
should be made known. An experiment fairly
made, whether successful Or not, will llhayc lis
use. lf successful IL is Of great Importance
if not il will prevent a repetition. and may
lead 10 one u more efficacy. There are many
ways proposed for destroying the bug which
50 much injuries our crops. SOapsnds ! had

and with view 70 satisfy myself Of il, tried
| Il on 4 small scale, and il kills all with which
il comes in contact. The experiment was
completely decisive that suds Is cIIectual 10
the brg. aud there Is no doubt of it acting
successfully if made very strong. made The
experiment last Friday week ago, and 10 be
certain that the bugs were killed, ] visited

and 10 be better satisfied that they were dead

small box, and they have not yet kicked, that
know Of, since they gave up the ghost. y
is said by some persons that soapsuds will
not destroy them but merely stupily them. "
such is the result of their experiment, IL Is
because the suds was not made strong enough ;
IL made sufficiently strong and the bugs
thoroughly souscd. they will die in shUrt
time, and pretty eiIcetualIy so too. Any how.
such il the result Of my experiment. But
soapsuds, like most Of the remedies suggcs.
ted, is too slow and tedious for the application
to be made on large scale, and cannot be

OBsEEYarIoS.-'Ihe habit OF observation IS
one Of the most valuable in life. its worth
can never be tou highly estimated. and Il Is
one that can easily be cultivated. Never do
ANYTHING without observing that all you DO j.
correct. DO not ever take a walk without
having your eyes and ears open, aud always
try and remember what sou see and hear.
liy this means you will acquire more know
ledge than ever can be learned from books, as
you will find the information in exactly the

respecting the efficacy Of suds as destroyer
oi the bug. With regard to it as certain
destroyer OF the bug, can speak with much
confidence. | dare say that Mr.. Turnbull's
idea Of saving the corn crops from the ravages
OF the bugs by sowing belt Of land in corn
between the wheat, oat, and corn fields in the
months of April, May and June. is good
one, and well deserves trial by the farmers
next year. think it advisable as soon as
they congregate in prodgious numbers in the
broadcast corn, to use means to destroy them,
as we may in this way easily exterminate
them by the wholesale. Soapsuds, in my opin-
ION, would be one of the easiest, cheapest and
surest remedies to use. We must fight as
well as iced them. 1t seemed to me that the
Chinese sugar cane fany kind, sowcd broad
cast as suggested by Mr.. Turnbult, would be
preferable on account Of the sweetness Of its
JUICE to our common Indian corn. 1t would
be well to try the experiment at least. 1t is
to be hoped that some more effectual means
to arrest the rayages Of the bugs than have
yet been discovered will be found out. |
