SMUT in EAT.

.Nr. E2jter =
As there will be, in all probability, a
falling ofrin the wheat crop this y ar,
you vii! excuse me in making this ear
Iy suggestion in rcgardto SMWt in wheat.
Owing to the great scarcity of grain,
every possible precaution with the
farming community should be rcsorted
to to prevent II nuisance in the crop in
the future.
Smutin wheat prevails to a conside-
rablc extent some seasons, particularly
in the South. This disease. however,
has been mentioned to exist in different
countries Of Europe. There seems to
be sssomc perplcxity existing in the
minds of many us to the probable cause
Of this disease. Even scientific gentle
men have written npon the subject, who
have not, as Ihave learned, | think, ar
rivcn to- just conclusion. A writer in
the Patent Office Report Of 1854 men
tons Il case upon record, in Which "the
west sides Of the ears of whole field
were affected with smut, whiletheir OPP
posite sides were free throughout
Such Il result, | can safely assert, after
an observation Of twenty years, | have
never seen, | think. | can safely APP
peal to every old farmer, not only in
Franklin county, but wen the State of
Tennessee, that no such thing happens.
There must be Il cause. What is it p
We know smut will not terminate ;
but the inquiry is, what produces it,
1t is a matter Of Importance to farmers
to know how to guard against the evil.
The same writer further states, "The
spores of the fungus which produces it,
for aught we know, may be lurking
about the barns or stacks, or ever in
the air itself, and thus be brought into
contact with the seed employed. From
the premises here stated, it is easy to
arrive at Incorrect conclusions. The
question m up in the face of SUCH
an opinion, why different results from
the same kind of wheat employed. 1t
is known that to sow smutty wheat as
early as September, thatit will no sea,
son produce smut; but delay sowing
the same kind of seeds until late in the
season, for instance, just before hard
freezing, and it will usually produce
smut.
1t is known that q solution of btut
stone water-the seed soaked in it fol-
twelve or twenty-four hours prevents
its recurrence the next season. Here
is the great point of inquiry with the
farmer, why such aresult2 1t car on

NORTHERN SYMPATHY.-lt cannot be
forgotten that Hartford, Connecticut,
was the scene of one of those overflow
ing sympathizing meetings gotten up
to appcasc the indignant South, soon
after the raid of old John Brown into
Virginia. At no other meeting in the
Abolition States were protestations OF
adherence ut the outrage upon South
crn rights louder; and ut no other meet
ing were assurances more prodigally
pledged, of sympathy with the South,
and yet, when these people have an OPP
%portunity, at the ballot box, to seal their
protcstations and redeem their pledges,
10 and behold, where are they? In the
recent State election, that answering
index, the ballot box, tcstifics they were
not there. No! they were not there,
and the only test of the true amount of
sympathy. for the South, entertained by
the citizens of that State, declare that
they have none That it is at the shrine
of Black Rcpublicanism they worship,
and that they have no other God.
