Inc wIre- worm or scab IN Potatoes.

Inc WIre- " orm or Scab IN Potatoes.
1t is pity that the name of the wire
worm is not confined to the julius, since it
is made up, so to speak, of hard rings and
is really a worm; while the true wire worm
is not wire'worm all. Now the question
is, do these wire-worms (Julus) cause scab
in potatoes. We haye all along said that
they do; but Prof. Cook says, no; scab is
caused by fungus. We are of those who
telleve that fungi do not cause anything
whateyer but that various diseases and
weakness are attacked by various fungi or
bacteria. To return the scab in potatoes,
however, writer in the New York Tribune
says; 81 have been investing this scab for
years, and tho editor OF the Rural Nc,o
Yorker, who has also given much stndy
and observation to the same thing has
found reason to believe that scab IS really
caused by the wire. worm, julius. | have
found it abundant in potato fields which
haYe been manured by COW manure, and
the potatoes were seriously injured by it.
Clean potatoes put in fowor-pots with
clean soil and some of these wre-worms,
nave been eaten into and scabbed over in
three weeks. Prof Cook will find no fuppus
IN these scabs l haYe made scores of ex.
amlnations with the microscope and never
found any trace 81 fungus, aud DR.. Hex
amer, most trustworthy authority, las
told me tnat he has failed to find anv
fungus in the scabs. am sure the trouble
is due TO this wire worm; but the elater
large DO not beleye is to be blamed for
It, as have found them very rarely in my
land where julius is abundant, probably
because It is dairy farm and the COW
manure encourages it. 1t is not surprising
that wire.worms Qhe trtM wire worn)
should be found in one locality and not in
another near it, From their character and
habits they do no travel, or If they do must
go very slowly, while the elater beetles can
fly and soon spread extensively. I have
them numerously in one part Of my garden
and in a field where COW manure has been
used year after year, and also in the cow
yard, but nowhere else" All We have 10
say is, that there may be other causes Of
seab in potatoes. But we repeat for the
tenth time, that tho wire-worm (Julus, a
myrapod, not an elaterl is the cause of

F FARMERS' COLUMN.
Orchard Grass.

Concerning this grass, so much inquired
about the Nc,0 England Farmer says;
"Orchard grass will grow anywhere that
timothy or clover will grow. 1t will hold
IN longer than timothy, but will rarely
produce a single cutting equal TO timothy
when the latter is given favorable oppor-
tunity. Orchard grass inclines to grow in
tufts, single plant sometimes covering
oyer a large space, but it never spreads, like
June grass or like quqck grass, by under
ground stems. Grasses that grow iu turfts,
so far as we haye observed, are frequently
deficient in stem growth, but excel in the
production Of leaves below or around
the stems. The chief value Of orchard
grass, taking the season through, is in its
under growth Of leaves, and those who look
for the crop n its stems and heads are often
disappointed. A farmer who aims to obtain
his hay crop at single cutting, had better
not sow orchard grass except in pasture
land. Nor is this grass suited to the de-
mands Of those who grow hay for the city
market. For SUCH the Ul T. standard vari-
s,tmothy and red tor,are to be preferred.
Orchard grass should only be grown in
moving fields by those who would like TO
cut two or three crops per year on tho same
ground. Nor should its culture ever be
attempted by those who can not he ready
to begin haying whenever their grass is
ready to cut. Orchard grass. like June
grass, red clover, and few other varieties,
is full three weeks earlier in ripening than
red top and timothy, and unless harvested
at the time it is at its best, soon becomes
hard and nnutritious like any other over
ripe grass or straw. Orchard grass has no
other demerit. 1t is little tender the
first year. if sown very late iu autumn.
Now to get its full value we must observe
its habits and conform to its peculiarties.
Red clover is one Of our most valuable
forage plants, but we were to attempt to
make it take the place Of timothy end
should give it precisely the same treatment,
we would surely be disappointed.
"orchard grass is adapted to grow in
shady helds,and in orchards or forest groves
1t may occupy comparatively dry land, but
tor open culture ii will pay better on land
so moist that continuous growth may lie
maintained from April to November. IN
the latitude Of Central New England, the
first crop will be ready TO cut as early as Il Q
middle of June every year. iu early seasons
by the fifth to the tenth, and when the
blossoms begin TO fail it must be cut with
out delay. The second growth will start
rapidly, and will be entirely of leaves,
which will lengthen at the rate Of an inch
per day for a month or more, when the
crop should be cut. A third crop will have
TO be cut or pastured later in the fall, as
there will be too much to leave on the
ground over winter. Orchard grass will
bear tor dressing any time directly after
removing a crop, and will pay well for the
cost on any moist land. 1t should not
however. be sown on land that is too wet,
or which is likely to be oyernowed or cover.
ed by ice in winter.
