From The Nonh Carolina Farmer.
THE WHEAT MIpGE.


Wheat, the most important Of all our sta.
pie crops, is liable TO more casualties and
depredations from various insects, than any
other cultivated in the United States.
The wheat fly, commonly called the He's.
sian iiy is said TO have been introduced into
the United States BY the Hessans in the time
Of the Revolutionary war. For many years
the injury to the wheat crop caused great
alarm among the farmers Of the country. BY
change Of seed and by early and late sowing
the depredations OF this insect have, in some
degree, been checked Of late years in our
country.
The most formidable enemy to the Nhea;
crop now in the United States Is known un-
der the name Of Wheat Nudge (Cecidd,ayia
Ifitiei) OF tie manner in which il was In
troduced into our country, We believe il Is
not generally known. The Wheat Midge
was first clearly recognized in 1920. in the
north vest part Of Vermont, but DIR. Fitch
claims 10 have some evidence that il was in
our country several years anterior to that
date, although il did not become 20 nnme.
rous as 70 attract particular attention until
eight or ten years afterwards. In England
il was known as early as the year III. Since
its depredatlons have become 80 alarming,
and is habit. observed and understood, il Is
ascertaincd that il is making 4 steady and
gradual yearly progress westward. When
We first saw il in 1858, il had reached Alba
NJ county. \. York it has .inre extended
oser considerable portion q Uhio and lntli.
ana. where in 1854 the loss resulting from its
rasages amounted 10 millions Of dollars. So
generally destructive was ii in New York in
that year, that Col. b. u. Johnson. the eff.
cient secretary d the New York State Agri-
cultural Society. addressed circulars % the
principal wheat growers 10 the State, with the
inquiry, /. 10 what extent was the Mheatcrop
IN your vicinity injured By tie midge:" The
facts thus derived were authentic and com.
plate. and placing the estimates II the low.
est figures and far within the truth, It was
ascertained that the value IL the wheat de-
stroyed by this insect that wear, at The fall
prices, amounted TO the enormous snm 81
4 Fifteen millions of dollars. In several States
/ lie present season. the crop Of wheat has
been much injured, though 70 less extent
than In 1854.

" just in this vicinity on the nigh, Of the
third Of May, an immense fall Of ram. which
produced greater ruin than have witnessed
from single rain at any time within TWEEN
years. And this was followed through the
season by several other terribly washing
rains. And yet my ploughing stood the
whole without injury. Full fifty acres Of
my corn field was land SO rolling, that there
is not spot in it from which the descent, in
the direction Of the greatest descent, i not
ten feet in one hundred yards II was bro
ken up in the fall and winter, five and half
inches deep, in beds five and half feet apart,
with FIRST rate plough which turns iurrow
Of eleven inches.
This field, with beds on dead level, and
hillside bitches having descent of two
inches in twelve feet. went through this year
OF extreme trial without wash. In some
places the water trickled over the beds
where the level had become imperfect, espc-
cially in The short r0Us, but was soon dis.
posed of in the burrows below, which were
more perfect, and thus all damage was pre-.
vented

the same result would be gained in lands Of
different quality.
But will venture to say. that deep plough.
ing, combined with this system. will prevent
any lands from washing unless il is attempt

the land losing its cohesiyeaess. will almost

MAKE A BEGINNING in all

er come to an end. The first weed pulled up
in the garden, the first seed set in the ground,
the first shilling put in the savings bank, and
the first mile travelled in journey, are al:
important things--they make beginning,
and thereby hope, promise, a pledge, an
assurance, that you are in earnest with what
you have undertaken. How many poor, idle

and nearly drowned them, and Dir. Jones
Immediately coming on them in skift, was
