EARTHING POTATOES.

1t is yet question, whether it is
a benefit or otherwise to earth up
potatoes or to cultivate them in the
fiat way. Once, the Writea of this
made fair experiment with haf
bis garden crop on one plan, and
half on the other, endeavoring so
to halve the lot, as to make each
in all other respects equal The
result was slightly in favor of the
billed potatoes
IL is likely, however, that this
result would not be uniform in all
seasons. 1t is probable that the
sea son has much to do with it. In
a very wet one, it may favor the
plants to be hilled, as in this case
the roots are dryer at time when
drought is beneficial; on the other
hand, if tho season were dry, the
hilling, might have been a disad-
vantage by permitting the ground
20 dry out faster. go also, much
will depend ON the soil itself. 1t
may be an advantage to hill up on
low or fiat land, but an injury on
nigh aud dry ones. 1t is probable,
rom overlooking the condition un-
der which the operation is done,f
that there is so much difference Of
opinion about the good effects Of
earthing up.

Tobacco and Hop Growing In Oregon

Tobacco and Hop Growing I'm Oregon
Tobacco-growing, though ne
ccssarily confined to comparatively
narrow limits, is assuming consid-
cradle Importance in Oregon. Ac-
cording to the census returns, the
entire product for the year 1870
was but 3,S47 pounds, while that
for 1875 was 3S 1877, showing an
increase Of 24,340 lbs, or about
600 per cent, during the as. five
years. The quality of this Oregon
product is of an inferior grade, but
it is of a kind that finds q ready
market at remunerative prices. its
principal use being for sheepwash-
ing. Hop-growing is also incrcas-
ing, is stated, even more rapidly
than tobacco, and gives promise OF
assuming dimensions of no mean
Importance. AT the present time
sons 500 acres are given to the
cultivation of the article. On this
land the average yield last year
was about 1000 lbs. per acre, while
on one tract Of eight acres the av-
erage was $3.50. 1t is stated that
as yet there has not been n single
failure of the crop since its cstab-
lishment.

Seth Green on Younr sb.d

MIR. Seth Green has written a letter
regarding the shad culture in the Con
necticut, denying the truth of the
statement which has been made to the
elect, that he had alleged that
young shad Immediately after their
release from the Matching boxes make
their way down stream" MIR. Green
says that he has never claimed that
they sought the sea the first wear. He
mas himself caught young shad in the
rivers during their first season, and he
knows that they arc Ia the rivers dur
ing their second season. Whether
they stay through their first aud second
season or return from the sea he is moi
prepared to affirm, although it is his
opinion that they seek the sea during
thelr second season aud return at the
Time when they sre three and four
years old. He holds that the young
hsh are for a time driven by the force
OF he current down stream. They
do, in fact, with their heads up stream.
work Intellectually against the current
but when they become strong enough
they work their way up stream again,

WILMINGTON, DEL. MAR. Ie. 1875.

Our Public School System is founded
upon the most economical basis. In this
city the members of the Board of Public
Education meet at night IN order that
they may render their services gratui-
tously. But il was thought that as the
Secretary was an officer of the Board and
required to be present at each meeting
a small compromising salary should be
provided; and hence no was paid about
$500. There were several applicants for
the Office at this rate. 1t was subsequent
ly found desirous to have the Treasurer
Of the Board present also, and that Office,
which we believe was not compen atory,
was conferred upon the Secretary and
the compensation for both made s400.
There were several applicants for the
position at that time. One gentleman
whom we know tc be responsible and
competent desired his me to be put
before the Board at the last election, but
it was withheld. He thought, and still
thinks, $500 quite handsome sum for
this labor. 1t was fully 81 per hour for
the actual work; it is now about SO per
hour. The amount which has been
added to this Office unnecessarily is just
so much money thrown away and the tax
payers have to foot the hill.
