EFFECT OF CLIMATE ON PLANTs-Obser-
vations made during the Arctic Expedition
have brought to light one or two curious facts
in connection with the powers of growth pos
sessed by different plants under varying con-
ditions of climate. American research has
proved that the seeds of certain plants, if
gathered in one climate and sown in another,
will germinate earlier or later, and with more
or less vigor, according as the new climate is
warmer or colder than the old. And even a
perceptible change of climate is not required
to show these results; difference of a few
degrees only in latitude is sufficient to do so.
For example, wheat from Scotland, sown in
the south of England, will germinate and
ripen much more quickly than wheat of ex-
actly similar quality gathered in the South
and planted in the same latitude in which it
was grown.
This fact is of the utmost Importance to
agriculturists. To secure earl rly.growing
wheat it is only necessary to take care that
the seed is gathered in colder climate than
that in which it was sown. The process is
perfectly practicable, as it might be so ar
ranged that the wheat sown in the North
should not be consumed, but preserved for
seed for the next season in the South. The
same thing is noticeable among other plants.
and florists and hortculturists might take
advantage of this circumstance to produce
both earlier and stronger plants than they do
now, without the appliances for forcing
Another curious fact is that seed-especially
wheat-wll stand an immense amount of
cold without injury. Some wheat left in the
Polar regions by Captain Hall of the Polar
is, in 1871, and found by Capt. Mares, in
1876, germinated and produced healthy
plants when sown under glass on board ship.

FALL OATS.

Some will doubtless be discouraged by the
past winters experience with this crop, but
they ought not to be. Two circumstances
combined against the last crop, which combi-
nation is not likely to occur often, to wit:
very dry weather which prevented the seed
from coming up till quite late, and excessive
cold early in the winter soon after plants were
up. When it is remembered how small is the
outlay for putting in this crop, Especially in
cstton,) and that failure if it occurs, is known
in time to allow the same land to be sown in
the spring or planted in any other crop, one
is fully warranted in taking the risk. On
good land, from the 1st of September to the
middle of October, is the time to SOW oats.
The poorer the land the earlier they should
be sown. 1t is better to SOW early, because
rains to bring them up cannot be counted Oh
Just when wanted. We are partial to sowing
in cotton fields, broad. casting the seed and
covering, with harrow run once in each mid
die. If the ground is soft, or if rain has
just fallen, the work will be done quite salts
factorily. If the cotton rows are narrow,
shovel furrow night be run in each middle
and the oats drilled in it. We tried this plan
with some sown in mid-winter, but they were
cut short by the dry weather of May. 1t is
better adapted, however, to fall sowings, be-
cause they tiller so much and fill up better
the spaces between the drills Crops of early
planted corn may be harvested in time to be
followed by oats; or pea fallows may be sown
in them. Even sedge fields if we'll broken,
and especially if helped with dressing of
cotton seed, will make good oats. Run a
drag or smoother over the corn and sedge
6elds-it will cut down the Jumps and firm
the ground like roller. Another precau'
tion-seed heavily, not less than Il bushels
per acre of the large seeded varieties, like the
rust-proof Unless an abundance of seed is
sown, the stand is very apt to be imperfect
the hot dry weather Of early autumn and the
freezes of winter will always kill out some Of
the plants. Sow also on rich land-the oats
will stand the cold much better.-Southern
