very plain that there can be no insects
from that orchard the following year. Of
course it may be infested from ncigboring
plantations, but it is plain that, if all the
cultiyators in any given neighborhood
could be melted to concert of action in
this particular, the prospects would be
very good for the total Punishment of this
insect plague from that vicinity.
Surely any plan which would secure us
the delicious varieties of the plum, would
be heartily commended by both producers
and consumers. This promises to pay
doubly in meat on the one hand, and in

Potato Rot and How to Stop II,

The immense damage done to the potato
crop, by the disease known as the potato
rot, causes any theory offered for its pre-
vcntion to be read with interest The
idea contained in the following extract is
worthy of consideration, and is certainly a
sensible one. At late meeting of the
Institute Farmers Club, New York, James
Warren, of Monroe, Iowa, read an essay
Oh the cultivation of the potato. This ma
turally brought on the subject of the rot,
which he imputed to carclessness in not
selecting seed from such hills as produce
full ripencd potato balls. The absence of
these on "A potato vine is sure sign of inn
maturity, and although these potatoes will
terminate and produce others, the yield
will diminish yearly, because diseased from
weakness, and finally die out from cxhaus-
tation. To bring back the potato to its
former productiycness, the seed must be
selected from those hills or stocks produce
ing balls, and them only. Ia this way
the tendency to rot will be checked, and
the old fashioned productivencss restored
This is Il sensible view of the subject, and
probably correct one. Initiated seed
will naturally be followed. by an immature
and diseased progeny. Plant only perfect
tubers and the potato disease, it is assur-
ed, will soon be among the things of the
past
