The recent successive failures in. Qur
peach crop, ought to teach our farmers one
Important lesson. And that's, not 70 con
centrate their prospects too deeply lon one
crop, We anticipate, great deal of gloomy
talk this fall, on the potato question. Ana
why? 1t is not because potatoes are mol .
paying crop; but because early potatoes
have been made too much specially this
year. Later potatoes will pay best, because
the early potato business is being oyerdone'
and the Winters supply neglected. Not
| setting ourselves up as being good farmers,
we will venture to lay our views on the sub
iect, occasionally before our readers.
The first necessity OF our county Is
thorough draining. On that subject we VIII
| have more to say hereafter, the true policy
of our farmers is to widen the basis OF their
operations, and not to run everything that
I proves lucrative into the ground, we nave
about enough peach trees planted-lctu us now
lplant more apples, pears, ounces, cherrles
and -plums-withf this springs planning, we
shall probably have as large an area in straw
berries as we can probably manage; icy us
.plapt no more, but turn our attention 70
blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries, cur
rants, cranberries. We are planting .pota
toes too largely-let sufficient quantity o.
! potatoes be planted, and then let the balance
of our capital be invested, in green peas
| string beans, roasting ear corn, turnips
asparagus, rhubarb, egg plant, tomatoes
cabbages, onions, &c.--we can in this wa.
} | increase the crops more conveniently; AM
above all one disaster will not be so likel,
: to leave us in the lurch. -Son,erset Herald

Snare the Birds.


Now that the season for corn planting has
returned, we may shortly expect 70 see tne
arnu., exhibition of foolishness and imbecil-i
;tv nractised by many farmers, of shooting
h;rdsSofftbetr corn fields. Foolish, because
the mart of wisdom woald be to cherish ana
protect these efficient laborers for the farm
er's good, in the destruction ofnumberless
insects hurtful to grain and Fruit Last year
being s'locust year" we may expect an IN,
creased number ofthese depredators, saved
from destruction by the birds feeding on
the locusts, instead Of their usual food.
Imbecile, because while you are shoot
inn birds at one esd Of the field they are
busy pulling corn at the other. A mucir gel eel
ter and more effectual plan is.to soak aq5nn-
ity of corn until soft and when your corn Is
coming through, scatter it over your nelo,
and the birds will not go to the labor OF uis'
ging when they find it ready to their hands,
o. hills rather-on the surface. Knowing
the above plan to be efIectual, will not those
;nterested try 1t, and while the birds are
Gathering wha: you scatter for them, sheJ

The farmers have not had better season |
for three or four years than they are now
enjoying for their Spring work. They are
further advanced, by at least two weeks,
with their field labors than they were this
time last year or the year previous. Should
the present glorious weather continue, a
large majority Of the farmers in this locality
will have their corn planted by the close OF
this week, while last year it was near the
middle of Nav before this labor was per
formed, SO cold was the weather and so in
cessant were the rains. And even much that
was planted was drowned out. But TINS
Spring, SO far, the rains have been season.
able, and the atmosphere, with two Or three
exceptions, all that could be desired-espe-
cially the last ten days: Oats are coming on
finely, and we do not know that the wheat
crop. particularly in the upper part OF this
county, ever looked much better than 1t
does now. But, in the lower part OF New
Castle county this crop is not nearly. as
promising as with us, though this weather
is making rapid improvement in 1t. here
tefore we have said little concerning the
peach crop, because ii would require con-
tinual paragraphing to note the prospects OF
this great staple product from week to week,
particularly in its carly stages OF develop
ment. Already we are ridiculed abroad Tor
our many and wise predictions concerning
this crop so far in advance of its maturity,
But now the crop is sufficiently
advanced TO make predictions viii
regard to the probable yield. Throughout
Kent and the most of New Castle
county, there is now every prospect q
an abundant crop; indeed, some OF ih'
growers are apprehensive that the trees vii
be overwhelmed, as they were two year
ago. In Sussex, however, and to the ent
Of the Peninsula, it is generally admitted
that the crop will be shortened by the lat
snow storm, though not to as great an exten
as was at first predicted. This is the pres
emit indication, so far as we can learn, whlc
may, even yet, be entirely blasted by lat
frosts. 1t was after the middle of May, las
wear. that the crop was destroyed. III
farmers will be perfectly satisfied with two
thirds OF a crop, because the fruit and u
prices will be better; the labor OF pickin
will be less, and the trees will not he il
iured by being overburdened. 1t is estim
led that good crop Of peaches this We
will give to the State from 81, 100000
$4,000 600 OF course it is looked to
work out our financial salvation, and shou
the crop fail it will prove fatal blow
peach growing. Stump extractors will
put to work in half of the orchards in 4
State, if the expressions Of the farmers mel
ANYTHING, and thousands of trees will
uprooted and cast aside as cumberers OF
ground. The impression seems to be &C
eral that the success or failure OF this "
will decide for or against the crop in
