Iowa State Az. SOcIetY.

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
tleman writes as follows of the Annual
Meeting of the Iowa State Agricultural
Society:
1--WE reelected Hon. George G Wirt
of Van Buren county President; Doctor
Sprague Of Butler Co., Vice President
] H Wallace of Muscatine. Secretary
Mark Miller of Dubuque Treas.
We had quite an interesting meeting.
The subjects discussed were "fence ~for
stock and no fence for crops" 1t was
ably argued on both sides; against re-
straining stock, that this was greatly a
stock country, and would tend to cripple
the stock interest. For restraining stock
that more farmers of small capital could
make beginning, and thus induce immi-
grafton, and be the means of adding very
greatly to the number of acres in cul-
tivation. 1t was generally agreed that
this would eventually take place, and the
more it was discussed, and the sooner
it was understood by farmers, the better
for them and for the State. A resolu-
ton to this effect was passed, with few
dissenting voices.
+'The second evening, "Apples" were
discussed. You have heard of the large,
beautiful, and very excellent apples of
the West. Well, they made their APP
pearance again on this occasion, in all
their excellence, which Mr.. Barry saw
at Burlington, at the exhibition Of the
'sNorthwesterna Fruit Growers Associa-
tion.'' 1856. He said, "Who ever saw
before such apples and such pears, as are
here displayed at this exhibition? / new
er have in all my travels, either at home
or abroad, and in this only repeat the
expression of Mr.. Prince, and other gen
tlemen from the East who are present. y
The number OF exhibitors was quite small
Mr.. Sewers of Oskaloosa. had 80 vari-
cites, besides several seedlings of con-
siderable merit, and took the premium of
so. Others had equally beautiful and
good apples, bat not as great variety.
Several lots were frozen and not exhibit-
ed.

Chemical Phenomena OfVegetatlOr

The sap-carrying materials from
without, contribute to the support of
vegetation; but the plant besides this
derives assistance from the elements
Of the atmosphere.
The action of the air on vegetation
presents two distinct phases; the first
has for result the termination Of the
grain; the second, the development
of the plant, and the multiplication o.
the species.
Germiaation.--This cannot take
place except under certain physica
conditions. Thus the grain, or EN-.
bryo, remains inert so long as it is
kept dry, and the air and sufficient
temperature are excluded from it; but
under these influences the grain swells.
its envelope breaks, the rootlet shoots
into the soil, while the sprout deveI.
ops, taking the direction Of the stem,
on which the leaves soon appear. It
is not only the physical action of wa
ter and a suitable temperature that
the phenomena of vegetation takes
place; the air is not less indispensable
than moisture and heat in fact, the
termination Of moistened seeds will
not take place in an atmosphere de-
prived of its oxygen.
The part which oxygen plays in
termination has been settled by Tn.
de Saussure. This celebrated philos-
.opher has shown, by a series Of eudio.
metrieal experiments, that oxygen
converts portion Of the carbon OF
the grain into carbonic acid gas, which
is disengaged. Tn. de Saussure has
explained the termination Of seeds
under water, which would seem to prove
that oxygen is not indispensable to the
development of the germ, by showing
that submerged grains which germin-
ate absorb the oxygen which the water
holds in solution. In fact, seeds
placed in water which has been de-
prived ofits oxygen, do not germinate,
In extending this investigation still
farther, he has demonstrated that
different grains require different guam
titles of oxygen for termination.
The carbonic acid produced during
termination, being formed at the ex-
pense of the carbon of the seed, the
seed loses in weight, but the weight Of

to the trees then with a two-horse plow
quite deep as you get away from me large
roots, always turning the furrow TO the
tree-a great advantage in ridglng up
this light soil, thus burying the roots deep

frost and drouth, and the center fuIrow
answers for a surface drain.
Mr.. James Smith, nurseryman at Des
Moines, who / always take pleasure in
quoting as good authority on the apple
as adapted 20 onE Western climate, gave
us the following list of 13: Sweet June
Fall and Winter JanltaB, Fulton, Snow
Apple, Seek-no-further, Roman Stem

This would lack sweet apples to my
taste. / would add Jersey Sweet, and

Grapes are recommended for every

Sorghum Syrup or molasses, is of Ve-
ry great importance to our Prairie coun-
try. We had many samples on exhibi-
tion, not only of Syrups but of Sugar
We had also "Refned Syrup" made Of
Sorghum, at the Sugar Refinery of Bel

leans, we shall soon give them taste of
our sweets, for we produce the article
equal to any other. 1t is true, much OF
it made by our farmers, is miserable
stuff. An intelligent farmer of this vi
cinity, said to me to-day, that he had
discovered one error many fall into while
manufacturing this Syrup. If put into q
cask hot, as it usually is, and thus con-
fined from the air in that condition, il
usually has raw unpleasant taste, which
will be removed if put into an open tub
or vat when done boiling and hot, and
and stirred till cool.
The United States Census for Iowa,
reports nearly 100000 gallons of this
Syrup, the crop of so. From the best
information of men, gathered at the cap
ital from all parts of the State, the crop
of the past year was not far from 3, 3,000,-
900. Next year l predict we shall have
l 100000 gallons for export. We want

carbon of the carbonic acid, which has
been enveloped during the process, is
not sufficient to account for the loss
of weight sustained by the seed this
Tn. de Saussure ascribes TO a loss of
water, and concludes that during ger
mination there is a loss both Of carbon
and water.
Ihe Development or grolotb Of plQgts.
After the root and the stem ere
sufficiently developed, tie eotyledons,
which furnished them with their first
nourishment, dry up and cease to act.
The plant, however, continues to grow,
and its weight augments to such
degree that beet-seed, for example,
weighing but a part of grain weight,
will produce a plant weighing, with It's
roots and leaves, twenty pounds.
What, then, are the elements which
plants assimilate during the period Of
their growth?
When plant is analysed, lis found
to contain carbon, hydrogen, azote,
oxygen, and certain inorganic substan-
ces. Excluding these last, which are
obtained by the plant from the soil, it
may be that the principal constituents
of the plant are obtained from the air
and from water. Experiment has
shown that seed, properly moistened
with distilled water, and placed in
pounded flint or brick, and not con-
tanning the slightest trace Of organic
