DAMAGE IL CAROLINE Co.-The Denton Union
of the 18th inst, says :-One of the most severe
storms ever experienced in this section OF coun-
try visited us on Thursday and Friday last dong
much damage to mills and other property. The
springs have risen so high in our town that the
water has been running out at the top Of wells,
and covering the floors of cellars with water to
n depth of one and two feet. The mill dam of
Mr.. w. G. IIorscy was broken, but no damage
was done to the MILL Mr.. Zacharias' mill, how
ever, was considerably injured the dam break
ing near it and washing away the foundation.
We also learn that Wilkinson's mill dam broke,
as did also the dam Of the Fowling Greek Mill.
AT fredericksburg the water rose to such an extent
that the bridge was only prevented from being
swept away by placing wood and railroad ties
upon it, and it even flooded several houses. At
Grccnsborough similar scene was witnessed,
and travel was impcdcd near the bridge The
stream below Watts creek, between this place
and Potter's Landing, was so swollen that pas
sage through il was impossible. Mr. VIM. A.

The Coming Oats Crop.

Early sown oats generally yields better than
late sown-it is certainly heavier in the grain
Hence our farmers are always anxious to get it
in during March, and put all other work aside to
accomplish it. But from present appearances
there will be little, if any, sown in the present
month. The snow is at this writing several inches
deep, and even if there be no more it is hardly
possible that the ground will be sufficiently dry
for the plough I'm next ten days. What than had
better be DONE to secure fair yield Of oats, late
as the seed must necessarily go in! We recon-
mend he application IF Phosptates ariM it-and
base the Recommendation on the striking result
obtained from such IN experiment last year. We

Phosphate, (2j0 lbs. applied to nearly two acres
Of poor ground, Immediately after blowing The
land was then narrowed, and the oats sown, the

which had no sphate-kept ahead dnring the
season-ripcncd fully Il week carlier-and yielded

in stating the result 1t is believed that one hun

using that quantity to the acre on our entire crop
this season. We expect by this application, to
secure more vigorous growth, AN earlier harvest
and crop more increased in value than the Phos
plate will cost. 1t is to be hoped many Others
will do likewise. 1t will certainly pAr.-Ed,o,

Inquiry was made about the best variety

PLuM TREEs.-The attempt to raise plums IN
this county if not throughout our whole State
has been almost entirely abandoned The raw
ages of the curculio, the insect which stings the
fruit, has prevented any fruit from coming to per-
lection and good many have abandoned the at
tempt to raise this fruit, and even cut down their
trees. Others have left them stand, and the
plums make feeble attempt every year to grow
and then sicken and fall of.
We have been informed recently by gentle
man from Loudoun county, Virginia, that gen.
teman living just over the Blue Ridge, in the
shenandoah Valley, had accidentally discovered
simple method of iidding the plum trees Of this
little scourge. He had several plum trees which
hung over a running stream, and found that all
that portion Of the tree which hung over the wa
ter brought excellent fruit which came to pcriec-
ton, but that those portions which hung over the
ground blossomed az well as the rest, and the
young fruit formed very well, but as it grew il
showed the sting mark and soon wilted and fell
from the tree. The gentleman found il hard ia
account for the fact that the fruit over the waite,
was saved, and after several experiments tried
covering the ground on the other side of the tree
with boards just after the young fruit was formet
and while the kernel of the stone is forming
The experiment proved success and the tree
bore full crop Of fine plums. He tried it sew
eral times since and has always been successful
He has tried ii with straw and corn fodder in
stead OF boards and then succeeded also.
The gentleman who made these experiment
accounts for their success by the supposition tina
the instincts of the insect prevent it from sting
ing and depositing its egg in the fruit which, whe
1t falls, will not drop on the ground, for ii is b
the fruit falling on the ground and rotting ther
that the egg deposited in it when it is stung
Matched out. Whether his theory is correct q
not he is satisfied that the plan will save the frui
as he has tried it on all kinds of plum and gag
trees with satisfactory results. 1t is not nece'
sary Tor the boards &C. TO be kept there an
longer than during the time the seed is formin
III Tue young fruit, after the stone has becom
/ hard around the kcrnal they may be remove
with perfect safety TO the fruit
This is very important fact If applicable to n
places and we advise such of our readers as bay
plum trees to try the experiment this Spring.
great many Of our city readers, as well as thos
living in the country, have gage, plum and apr
G cot trees in their yards, and il will cost thel
nothing to try the experiment. Let them cove
$ the ground with boards as soon as the your
: fruit begins to form and keep them there until
has formed and the seed become hard, if the
!, plum trees fail to bear they will be no worse {
than usual, while if they do bear they will be
C great deal better off, Our informant says
Il knows the plan has been tried with the most era
flying results in Virginia, and he has implis
iaith In Its efficacy for other neighborhoods.
