Tie Development of the South.

From the Rural Nev Yorker.
AS we all know, at one time cot
ton was called King, when it was by
far our most valuable crop, and
brought more gold into the country
than any other. But the recent
enormous development OF the north
western country has given only
second place to cotton in our list of
exports. Thus, while in 1879 the
export Of cotton was S1S2,068,S41,
that OF wheat and flour amounted to
$19l, 136, 240, and other agricultural
products reached to nearly S2O0,0OO,-
900 more. So that wheat has taken
the first position among our soil pro-
ducts, and the great northwestern
fields occupy the attention of Europe.
an countries as their future bread
producers.
Still the Southern States doubtless
have a wonderful future before them.
The product of cotton is rapidly in
creasing, and during the last fifteen
years has exceeded that OF the fifteen
years preceding them by 100000
bales, valued at s600,0OO,OOO. In adj
ditson to this, the value of the cot
ton seed, now mostly wasted,
amounts tosan enormous sum, for
the 100000 tons yearly produced
are equivalent to 90,OO0,OO0 gallons
of oil 100000 tons of oil cake, and
100000 of hulls, which are OF value
as fertilizer. The sugar produc-
ton, too, must doubtless soon in
crease to very great extent, for it
is enormously profitable. A Louisi-
ana planter made, from 3,297 acres
OF land last year, product which
sold for s565,O00, an average of SITS
per acre. Yet the whole crop of
that State reached but $19,O0O,O0O,
while our importations from Cuba
amount to more than SS0,000,O0O
yearly. The South wants men and
money, and the North has these to
spare.

Destroying Injurious Insects.

Professor c, V. Riley, in the edit
orial department OF the american
EntOnologiSt, gives the results of
numerous trials of the Persian in
sect powder, Pyrethy7t0', in the place
of Paris green and other poisonous
arsenical preparations. The pyre.
thrum, he says, is as easily grown as
May weed, or ox-eye daisy, as tar
North as Ithaca, New York, where
Professor Barnard has grown it
without trouble or more than ordin-
airy care. Under Mr.. Riley's direc-
tons, Mr. w. A. Henry Of Ithaca,
New York, has been making series
of experiments on the effect of the
powdered pyrethrum on the ordinary
injurious insects found in this lati
tude. From these experiments,
given in the E5QtoDaolOgist for
August, We select the following as
best showing what may be expected
from the use of the powder:
July 9th.--Tried the powder on
young cabbage plants, for the pur>
pose Of driving off the hea-beetles,
which were very numerous, having
entirely ruined my plants. Busted
the powder over the plants, but do
not find it very effective, as the teas
are on the under side of the leaves,
and difficult to reach. Moreover,
the powoer does noc adhere we'll to
the glaucous leaves. The insects
spring away upon busting the pow
der over the leaves, aud many evi.
IDENTIFY escape without carrying any
of it with them. Did not observe

"The pulp Of the fruit affords very

black currant jelly rs to be only dis

me to possess rather the flavor of ap.

tree may be propagated by seed or
cuttings.

The Grape and Wine Industry.

from an ETchdnge.
This industry in the United States
is assuming large proportions. The
following estimates are approx.
mately correct: Missouri has 1900
acres of the vine in cultivation, pro-
ducing last year 100000 gallons OF
wine Sandusky, Ohio, and vicinity
INCLUDING the Lake Erie Islands),
1000 acres producing 100000
pounds of fruit; California 60,000,>
900 acres in grapes, representing in
money, including land, $300,000,0OO.
Viniculture in this country is yet in
its infancy, but the increasing disas-
tiers to the vines of wine grapes in
Europe is yearly bringing it into
greater prominence. The quality OF
American wines, moreover, is
steadily improving through expert
ence and the increasing amount OF
capital employed, and from present
indications the wine industry of this
country is destined to attain very
large proportions i'll the not distant
future.

The Guinghan, or violet-striped

The Guinghan, or violet-striped
cane.
The Bellouguet, or purple Java
cane.
The Pinang cane.
The Diard cane, with which the
white Bellouguet is generally con-
founded.
The last is a recent importation
from Batavia 1t is hardy plant,
thrives well with moderate care and
attention, produces greater quantity
of stems than the white cane; but
does not hold in the ground so well,
which is a disadvantage In climate
subject to high winds and hurricanes.
1t yields well both in respect Of the
number OF canes and the quantity of
juice, which is superior in quality to
that of most OF the other species.
The Pinang cane is a very fine
species. producing, after the Otaheite,
the longest and thickest canes, but it
does not. like the Diard and some
other species, give so many stems.
1t is tender plant, somewhat impa-
tient of and requires q great deal of
care.
There are two species of Belloug-
uet, the one white and the other red.
Both species, like the DiarG, give a
great many stools and require great
deal of room to allow of spreading,
without which the stems grow mea-
gre; but planted wide apart and
carefully tended this species will pro-
duce well. The white is preferred
to the red, on account of the superior
quality of the sugar made from it.
The red gives sap strongly colored.
1t is very difficult to remove the
coloring matter, which Injuries the
quality Of the sugar Both species
require sheltered situations to come
to perfection. Their roots growing
laterally and horizontally they have
no hold in the ground. The great
quantity OF stems they produce Of
fers a larger surface to the action of
high wind than the roots are cal
culated to bear; they are, therefore,
easily uprooted, and considerable loss
is the consequence.
The bamboo cane is the hardest
of ali the species; but it is not much
admired, owing to its partaklng
partly OF the nature of the reed from
which it derives its name. The stem
is hard and dry; Dut in exposed stu
atoms and in marshy ground it grows
well and produces fair return. IL 1t
requires less attention and stands
drought very well. The quality OF
the sugar made from the juice OF this
cane is interior
There are many other species cult
waited but none are Of sufficient i'm
portance to require separate mention.
In good soil, canes may, with atten-
ton and good manure, be cut for six
or seven seasons running without its
being requisite to replant This is
considered the longest time canes
will yield a profitable return in the
best soils, in the lower portion of the
district. In the higher parts, the
cane plant is never expected to last
more than three seasons, and only
two on poor soils, or where stones
are common.

That Carp-HOw it Grows !

From the NeaC York IndeG.
Mr.. E. G. Blackford has on exhib-
ition carp which, less than a year
ago, was sent to him by Professor
Baird, in wet towel, being thus car.
ried quite distance, and weighing
half an ounce. 1t weighs to-day one
pound and eleven ounces, and is still
growing. 1t would take trout
three years to attain the same weight:
and great feature OF the carp is that
it can be transported very long dis
tances alive in wet moss.
