WILLOW GROVE, Sept, 10.


II Is a very excitable time with the
land renters through this section, in con-
sequence of the number of Canadians,
who have bought farms for the special
purpose of cultivating them themselves.
Hence, 1t is very reasonable to suppose
that part of the farming community, who
have never distinguished themselves for
skill and industry, will find 1t a very diff
hcult matter to procure good farms. 1t
really seems that the state of affairs In
this connection will have some tendency
to encourage agriculture, and will be the
means, indirectly, of making better farm
ers from the simple fact that as there are
more renters than farms to let, and as a
good farmer will stand bstter chance
OF getting a good farm than poor farm
or Will, the will be disposition
manifest ed, more likely, upon the part
OF the lower grade of farmers to become
classed among the good.
Although the corn crops were backen-
ed by the heavy rains on the lowlands of
this section in the spring, but should this
favorable weather continue several weeks
longer, there will be a very good yield.
The farmers through this part of Kent
(and l suppose it is the same most all
over the peninsula) are beginning to
learn that it is cheaper to save their own
clover seed than it is to buy it. Only a
few years since the saving of clover seed
was almost unknown among us; but
now, it has become almost universal.

A DELAWARE VINEYARD.

We are indebted to George W. S.
Nicholson, Esq, of Seaford, Del, for a
box Of delicious grapes from his vineyard
which is said to be the best in the State.
Mr.. Nicholson was the editor and pub
Usher of the Reporter, at Dover, in this
State for number of years. He was
sent to the City and Kingdom of Tunis,
as Consul, during Mr.. Buchanan's Ad-
ministration. Since his return from
Africa he has turned his attention to
agricultural pursuits, and the culture of
grapes. In the latter he has had remark
able success. In this pleasant pursuit he
says he pursues the Italian system, grow
ing the fruit in permanent horizontal
arms, and cutting back only the last
years growth leaving only the first bud.
The renewal system Of the Germans, prac-
ticed mostly in this State and Jersey,
produces the rot; for by cutting off two
year old wood, scar and sore are left,
which dies back to the body of the cane,
and the sap going up in contact with
dead wood, carries disease with it. He
not only grows good fruit, buG has it
packed so as to show and carry to advan-
tage, hence it readily sells at fancy
prices to the most fashionable restaurants
and confectioners in Boston, New York
and Philadelphia.
