it lbAAbhthE oANhNAN mum IL AACNB bhiN
of the most intelligent agriculturists in
the South, is published in the Southern
GaIticdtor
The wheat plant and its seed, being very
nutritious, are subject to the attacks Of
parasites, both animal and vegetable. or
the latter, crust" and "smut" are most
common. OF the former, the Hessian fly
and wheat fly or nudge are most destrue-
tive and prevalent. Could the wheat
grower discover a preventive of these evils,
it would greatly encourage the cultivation
of this staple in the South, TO the benefit of
all classes; but no sure remedy is likely TO
be found, and palliatives alone are within
our reach.
Late seeding ia perhaps the best pre-
ventiye of serious injury from the Hessian
hy. The insect deposits eggs on the leaves
of wheat, first when the plants are a few
inches high, where they soon hatch minute
worms which pass down the leaf between
the sheaf and stem where, near the lower
Joint they attach themselves to the stem
and grow to full muturity by sucking the
juices of the plant The fly comes out
early enough in April or March, in the
merous generation before the wheat gets
ripe. These insectscause the plant TO look
sickly and fall down, and sometimes who'll
ly destroy the crop.
The nudge or proper wheat fly, attacks
the seed when in the milk and before, its
offspring destroying it in part, or wholly
as the starch and gluten are formed. Smut
does precisely the same, only the product
belongs TO one of the lowest types of cellu-
lar plants being a mass of black fetid cells
of extreme mixtureness. Fortunately
washing seed in bluestone or salt brine will
kill the germs of smut on the grain and
in clean land prevent the malady. No
seed wheat or oats should be soWn without
first washing the seed in brine, copperas or
bluestone solution TO prevent black and
poisonous heads.
The Early Mayp is perhaps the best
kind of wheat 10 raise, az it ripens earlier
than any other, and is, therefore, less ex-
posed TO blight from rust or mildew, or 10
destruction by the second generation Of the
Hessian fy. Rich land and thorough Gull
uyation are important elements in wheat
culture-keeping the ground as free from
weeds and grass as one ever does in making
q superior crop of cotton. Sowing wheat
In drills favors horse-hoeing, as practiced
in England, with great advantage. Ten
nessee and Georgia farmers are apt to pre-
pare land for wheat, SOW the seed and
cover it carelessly and foul fields and poor
crops are the natural results of such culti-
walton. The soil and seed should both be
very clean and properly prepared.
